eat skull

i can see in the future

im sure i can too. my eyes arent all that bad.

yesss

they're pretty good. of course i'm kind of a sucker for what one of my friends calls "distortion trash pop."

they're excellent! i was just thinking about them a couple of days ago when i was listening to that 'condo fucks' record. sick to death is better than fuckbook though

it's definitely some fine distortion trash pop
the s/t and 'dead families' 7"s rule. LP rules. they have a new record coming this spring, im psyched.

they do??

what's trash pop?

srs question? basically ref-ing the lo-fi-ness and the weird ass mixing.

totally serious. that's what i was hoping -- i was deciding whether or not i wanted to give it a whirl

i can totally see why people wouldt want to fuck with this, the mixing can get really frustrating. but there's some undeniable tunes and the rest really reveal themselves after a few listens. sick to death is their record btw

wouldn't*

i like it.

new record has leaked! probably setting myself up for disappointment considering how much i liked the last one, but i'll listen tomorrow.

enjoying "wild and inside." definitely a little cleaner sounding than the first one. full of catchy summer jams or something...

It's available on eMusic now. Definitely sounds cleaner. I've heard very little buzz about the disc. Are we still technically before the official release date?

saw them live. it was okay. audience provocation a little forced and not actually threatening. maybe id like the recordings.

i'm just here to say that "cooking a way to be happy" is my new favorite song - the first eat skull song to really connect with me on more than a surface level

I really like the new album, not sure why it's gotten such a ho-hum reaction

It seems like kind of a downer to me, but I haven't really gotten to know it yet.

downer + lofi is like coffee + cream

dead families rules, sick to death is ok, ganglians split is ok (like the ganglians side better), new lp is pretty great! they've been hit-or-miss live and though they're nice dudes the statement above about audience provocation is otm.

trying to picture eat skull audience provocation FAIL and coming up with the lead singer getting up in ppl's faces and threatening to give them such a pinch

never heard these dudes, but i'm listenin to dead families and it rules

woooooooooooooow

the first song on the new one is giving me 1993 flashbacks

Stick to the formula!
It really is growing on me.
Fave track right now is "Oregon Dreaming."

yes! are the other records this good? man, i am digging this a bunch

even when i'm listening to this on my ipod, i still feel like i'm listening to it on a walkman

Yeah, if you like it, check out Sick to Death and the Dead Families 7" for sure. The Hole Class record (collab btw singer of Eat Skull and Beth from Times New Viking) is interesting, but I don't own it, just heard it from a bro.

distortion trash pop 4eva.

eat skull? more like Lake Slut

does that mean you don't like them or is that your new band because i dig the name

sick to death is classic, que

eat skull? more like Lake Slut

No words, only LOLs.

Times New Viking? more like Semen Viking Twin

oh ANAGRAMS. i am slow and old

Eat Skull and Lake Slut are ok, but my band, Kale Lust, is much better

xpost damnit

ian have you been reading sexyDancer's twitter

oh wait that's palindromes not anagrams. doh!

another vote for Sick to Death. new one is pretty good but the first track is SO good I don't listen past it that often!

Sick to Death is more gnarly/weird/lofi but still catchy songs.

i don't have a twitter or read a twitter. i do have a poetry book that has sexydancer anagrams in it, though. fucking poetry.

TEEMS PITH (96) sez

WaI >> StD, primarily by virtue of how it takes PUNK TRIPS as a blueprint, then sensitively expands on it with NZ-y elements

DID U JUST SAY BLUEPRINT

;)

zing

faaaaaade to smoke

new one out

could never get into their old stuff that much but love this, so bummed out and droney

no one else huh
this is a really great album

shitty video, good song

some of it reminds me of space needle vis a vis songwriting, shitty keyboards, lo-fi

I have liked everything I have heard off of this record so far, but have not heard the whole record. I'll get around to it at some point, but definitely feeling it bit by bit ...

it's pretty good, I still like their first one best though

SICK TO DEATH is such a forgotten classic. hits every time

I think about this band way more often than I should — one of the most memorable of that late 00s lo-fi scene along with Psychedelic Horseshit. Caught them live several times between like ‘08 and ‘10, wish I could remember more about it now but that whole era of my life is kind of one giant blur.

good band. I have Sick To Death and a couple of their singles. saw them live around 2010 - don't remember any audience provocation, I do remember them covering Did You Really Think by No Comment (not the powerviolence band, an obscure UK "Messthetics" type band, the song is from a Fuck Off Records compilation tape)

I don't think I even knew they had a 3rd album and definitely haven't heard it!
