Catchy noise rock with hard as fuck drums.

umm I think the last couple of Liars albums are exactly what you're talking baout.

Lightning Bolt 'Wonderful Rainbow'

USAISAMONSTER

I love how quickly people respond here, it's amazing.
Thanks guys.
I've heard Lightning Bolt somewhere before; doesn't the drummer wear some kinda gimp mask?

wikipedia - 'Yeah he does'

xp
Liars yes, not sure Lighning Bolt bring the pop though

Yeah, I do need the tunes.

wonderful rainbow's got the tunes.

yeah I was going to say

I hum lightning Bolt sometimes

Coupla favs notable for their drums:

Coachwhips - "I Made A Bomb"
Battleship - "No Basis for Optimism"
Pissed Jeans - "Boring Girls"
A Frames - pretty much everything has great drums and is catchy and noisy.

Wonderful Rainbow is definitely a catchy record.

the best answer though is Parts and Labor's Mapmaker.

[ / pedantry ] Isn't noise supposed to be about obliteration of melody?

AIR CONDITIONING
BIG WHISKEY
GRAVITAR

oh "catchy" well then HOLY FUCK are like pretend-noise rock for girls, u might like it

Parts & Labor

If you can stand a pretty fluid definition of 'noise rock', I'd say check out Xinlisupreme.

Steel Pole Bathtub, esp. "Lurch" & "Tulip". Parts & Labor 3rded. Also with the Lightning Bolt. Wouldn't say that noise is necessarily about the obliteration of melody. It's about NOISE, noisyness, the din. Can be in pop or it can exclude pop -- just depends.

i still don't get how No Age is "noise" they sound like an early 90s indie rock band.

i recommend: Skoal Kodiak

looking forward to P&L's next record

HEALTH maybe, I mean, they do sound a bit Boredomsy. What about Super Ae?

I was thinking the same. He should be checking out the Urinals, if that's not too obvious. They're not 'noise' either, but it's where No Age are coming from, ain't it?

Chocolate Synthesizer is mental unhinged pop

Jesus Lizard, Hot Snakes (perhaps too obvious, but those 2 seem to fit the bill)

Times New Viking?

Mclusky

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES

This thread is all over the place.

yeah i guess everything that's not totally gay limp indie shit is noise now.

most of the bands listed on this thread are good though.

Me too. Whineyless tho. Haven't seen them with New Joe.

Anyhoo, lotta yr canonical 80s/90s noise rockke bands were both catchy and "hard as fuck" in the drms dept: Scratch Acid, Jesus Lizard, Cows, Halo of Flies. Less inclined to jazz out, no trace of indie pop, so I dunno how well they fit the OP sandbox.

That "mee too" was re: new P&L. Urinals is OTM.

xxxpost That's because it's like somebody saying "I want more danceable country music like ABBA"

but actually my local noise scene did sort of make me realize that noise is more of a social group than a genre. like if you are friends with noise ppl you are noise. whether you sound like foghat or bert jansch or the grifters or sunn 0)))

Um Sonic Youth?

Rapemans

The Contortions record "BUY"...? Those guitars can really get in my head, and I love the drumming.

Raccoo-oo-oon they're my latest crush.

Knife Hytz

who?

Is not often catchy, the Racoons. Do like em, though.

I only have this behold secret kingdom thing, but I've hummed it

Have I ever got it! MARNIE STERN

http://www.myspace.com/knyfehyts
Trio of dudes from Oneida, Ex Models, Pterodactyl.
Totally sweet cover of Iron Maiden's "Running Free."
Hardly any melody, hard as fuck drumming, though.

this hytes of summer off of their myspace intrigues me....

do we have a proper noise thread, one that's not about it being catchy?

Tyvek
FNU Ronnies
Other termbo shit.

Laddio Bolocko has hard as fuck drums. And it's noisey. But tunes?? Not really.

There are probably some threads about that on ILM.
xpost

The being catchy part makes it more fun to talk about.

Seems to me that "termbo shit" is rarely above adequate in the drums dept. Crazy broad generalization, I no, but...

No but like, MARNIE STERN

Seems to me that "termbo shit" is rarely above adequate in the drums dept.

lightning bolt have catchy riffs.

my first thought was Gravitar. Grey Daturas might fit the bill as well.

hell if OP isn't already familiar with Boris, everything from Pink to the Japanese Smile release might fit the bill.

And speaking of Laddio, there's that Psychic Paramount thing, which is also drms as fuck and catchy, but not so much with tunes. Good tho.

P.S. I stand in favor of these shits.

Somebody said something about Oneida, so it might as well be said that Oneida.

oh man laddio bolocko wow i ain't thought of them for a long time.

OOIOO

I like the way the drums sound on the Eat Skull record.
(Hey, rockapads, you should contact me off list at Tripmak✧✧✧@ya✧✧✧.c✧✧
I have a cave cd for you)

Oh, that's weird, I didn't know that would do that.
My email is my tripmaker with the number 6 right after it
at the yahoo email service.

^^^ Oh yeah and Cave duh. Hunt Like Devil (main) = drums fro many days.

Also agrees for OOIOO and variety doms. Maybe goes wout saying, but this seems like an intro thread.

UNWOUND.

chick drummer no less

sara lund appreciation thrd

KARP

Dman, karp, hell yes! Also big business. Was playing that 1st BB demo EP the other day in the car very neighbor hating loud. Evil Medievil = fukken badass. Did they ever release a "proper" version of that? Didn't wind up on either LP sad.

The Ex
Dog-Faced Hermans

Fushitsusha - Pathetique

the Who - all live recordings from 1964-1978

-- contenderizer, Tuesday, August 12, 2008

Yeah, that's the best thing they've ever done, possibly including the stuff they've done with Melvins. I think they sell that shit on iTunes. I remembered seeing it and being like, huh?

Maxemillian, when you say "Noise rock with hard as fuck drums" I think of the first three Jesus Lizard albums and Shellac's At Action Park. If you haven't heard these albums then you need to grab a box of tissues for when your face starts gushing blood.

Man, Gravitar. I bought Now The Road of Knives toward the end of my jazz purist phase after hearing McCoy on WPRB (I probably liked the jazzy drumming). I remember my friends being like "Wait, YOU like THIS?" Still a great album.

remember people, he said "catchy"

Those albums have catchy riffs!

first thing that came into my head was that last Sleater-Kinney record

Raccoooooooooooon can be pretty catchy. 4 or 5 songs on is night people and cave of spirits forever are catchy. Those certainly pretty much don't contain hard as fuck drums though.

i'm kind of over them too.

new Oneida probably fits this seemingly contradictory thread as closely cas can be done

also maybe Tarantel

oneida is the truth.

yeah that new Oneida is awesome.

ctrl+F deerhoof "text not found"

Have I ever got it! MARNIE STERN

yah

ha, i did ctrl+F for "shellac" and saw it already mentioned. talrose OTM on getting some jesus lizard and 'at action park' immediately.

dudes check this fuckin band out ---> PAPER MICE

http://www.myspace.com/papermice

fucking awesome.

what happened to the guy who started this? I think he's probably trapped under a deluge of feedback.

brainiac

xpost well here is a little more for him then

SEARCH: SKIN GRAFT RECORDS

SOUNDS GOOD WHAT IS IT LIKE?

skin graft had a lot of shit, US maple (who aren't maybe catchy enuff) but lake of dracula, flying luttenbachers - both sorta twisted post free jazz math metal...melt banana (crazed japanese chicks gone noise gonzo shrapnel), tons of awesome shit.

MELT BANANA WHY DIDN"T YOU SAY SO BEFORE?

Yeah for sure; the number of responses is a little overwhelming. I've youtubed a few and reckon I'm finna grab the latest Liars album. Will endevour to work my way through the list in its near entirety over the next few months, but likley I'll give up someway before the end and will resort to checking just those with repeated recomendations.

Cheers Bays

They are so the worst of all the bands (I know) that have been mentioned here. SRSLY go straight to Marnie Stern if you want No Age plus better. Vibrational MATCH

Also, she is supercute.

i rep the 2nd and 3rd liars records all day, first and fourth are good but not great

"i rep the 2nd and 3rd liars records all day, first and fourth are good but not great"

Disagree, although I can't begin to tell you how many people think I'm batshit because of this. 4>3>2>1.

haha did no one say the monks

So I think the question that we are trying to answer is: Friendly first noise record, what is the friendliest?

(hint, not merzbox)
