I dunno, they're good players I guess but there's a studied approach to what they're doing that turns me off. that artfully blurry shakycam can't hide their exquisite coiffs.

It's free!
2011, and I just caught up to it. it's like the Pissed Jeans "my life is a series of petty humiliations" thing, but with more hardcore matinee arrangements. 26 minutes of dumb brilliance. "WHOOOO I FEEL ALRIGHT, I WILL SURVIVE". Gloria Gaynor for the stuck upstate set.

well, i guess no one else read that zine. it was really good!
i've been listening to the BROWN SUGAR "Sings of Birds and Racism" LP from last year a tonne lately. i didn't really get it when i first heard it, too chaotic or something and the vocals seemed too low in the mix--anyways, i'm glad i returned to it because it is a WILD WILD RECORD. i've listened to it maybe eight or ten times so far and it still not only grows on me with each listen, but totally fucking blows my mind EVERY TIME. it's like, super /punk/, too. unlike my other fav 2011 punk lp wiccans - skullduggery it's less likely to appeal only to the fan of hardcore punk; it's really fast and has breakdowns but it's much more a guitar rock record. it's got a lot of hot licks, every once in a while you can hear a saxophone (?) wailing away. i can't stress how important it is you dudes listen to this record. it's relentlessly creative, manic but not spazzy, full of surprises, totally over the top and addictive. and honestly the amount of ENERGY that is TRANSFERED INTO YOUR BODY when you listen to it is actually insane

yeah, but you like iceage, the men, ty segall, circle pit, sic alps, labels like ss, etc. lot of that stuff exists at the intersection of punk & indie (in my mind, anyway), which makes the thread title kind of funny.

haha i totally embrace the indie, dude. i mean, part of the reason i didn't keep "pitchfork GTFO" from last years' title is because i don't share that attitude. i was just saying that i feel like there will always be wonderful punk bands who are shitty enough that no one will care about them & so no matter how much of it is absorbed by indie media there will always be something to keep this thread going

yeah pitchfork gtfo was a joek bros, you indie types are so earnest
being as old as mr contenderizer I agree w/ his take on indie starting out as a broad umbrella term. in the 80s it just meant bands on independent labels getting college radio airplay, which could be anything from black flag to yo la tengo. the distinction was mainly economic/distribution related, similar to the way any weird bands used to get thrown in a bin called "imports" at the record store no matter where they were from.
if I think about the evolution of the term, the roots go back to late 70s punk bands flirting with major labels - after the labels figured out they didn't know how to sell it and the punk scene discovered it could thrive without big capital requirements, they moved down separate paths. punk got extreme and unmarketable as hardcore emerged. then hardcore bands discovered pot and started getting weird (black flag, dinosaur, husker du, butthole surfers). what I dismissively called "jangle rock" was getting big as well (REM and their progeny - tho in truth I do like a lot of that stuff), a wing of the underground more influenced by the velvets 3rd album and 60s folk rock than the stooges and no wave.
by the mid 80s major labels started coopting the scene. I know that's a loaded term but eh, sympathies are sympathies. husker du signing to warners in 85 was the big turning point, once they went over the wall many followed. this excerpt from wikipedia sums up the cycle for the next 25+ years:
Flip Your Wig became the first album released on an independent record label to top the CMJ album chart, and at year's end, both New Day Rising and Flip Your Wig ranked in the top ten of the Village Voice annual Pazz & Jop critics' poll.
During the recordings sessions for Flip Your Wig major label Warner Bros. Records approached Hüsker Dü and offered the group a recording contract. The band felt it had hit a sales ceiling that it could break through only with the help of a major label. The promise of retaining complete creative control over its music convinced the band to sign with the label.[13] Mould also cites the distribution problems with SST as a reason for the move, mentioning that there would sometimes be no records to sign when the band would show up for promotional events.[14] Hüsker Dü was not expected to sell a large amount of records. Rather, Warner Bros. valued the group for its grassroots fanbase and its "hip" status, and by keeping the overhead low the label anticipated the band would turn a profit.
things got strange in the post-nirvana 90s as major labels snapped up anybody with indie cred, and this was when indie became a code word in certain circles for "biding your time until a major signs you". bands with no hopes of getting signed in the 80s (the wall keeping the rabble out was huge + insurmountable) were suddenly commercially viable. a lot of indie labels were now major label fronts, the same way huge beer companies started putting out pseudomicrobrews. I guess I could've saved a lot of typing and just posted this
then the alternative/grunge wave crashed and the scene limped back to its basements and warehouses, and that's when things started getting interesting again to me. indie nowadays is a loaded term with a patina of aspirational baggage. from an 80s perspective pissed jeans and bon iver and sic alps are all indie bands. but if I was headed out to a pissed jeans show and a casual music fan asked me where I was going, I'd be doing a disservice by replying "going to see some indie band". cause they'd probably expect deer tick or arcade fire. you know, that jangle rock stuff. now beat it kid, grandpa's leg is asleep.

OTM on history of "indie" semantics: I distinctly remember one critic friend describing a band's sound as "indie rock" circa '00, and me replying that indie isn't a sound but a DIY business ethos--she was younger and from Portland. Not long after another Minneapolis friend put out the K-Tel Gimme Indie Rock compilation (about a third of which I'd consider punk), and I had to admit that the term had gained some general currency as a replacement for "college rock." Then it narrowed further as a bunch of bands came along sounding like Pavement and dressing like the D.C. Embassy kids (fashions brought to New York by Jonathan Fire*Eater, I reckon), so "indie" in the '00s came to mean '90s-hipster (read: ex-punk) fashions and '00s Strokes-y guitars.
I'd stuck to "punk" so stubbornly as an umbrella term for the whole independent music culture that I remember interviewing Mark Robinson circa '93 and asking him if Unrest was punk and him saying that word meant nothing to him. We used "underground pop" a lot in the early '90s to demarcate from the commercial ambitions of "alternative rock" and the perceived narrowness of "punk," and I still stuck to "indie" as a business description until critics started using it to describe bands on major labels. Now "independent" works just fine. By the mid-'00s my old '90s bandmate informed me he was into punk rock and disdained anything "indie," so I can see where the exclusive embrace of "punk" comes from.
But many punks (I'm thinking of another influential Minneapolis acquaintance) took it to ridiculous extremes: Suddenly anything that came out on Dischord after Marginal Man was indie-rock-not-punk by definition. When I saw Fugazi in 1990 at Turner Hall in Madison, WI, it was very much a punk show: same venue, cost, poster-style, slam-dancing, fashions, and by and large crowd as the one seeing Black Flag or Naked Raygun in '85. To me alternative, indie, undie, local-music, whatever scenes of the '90s were largely just the old punk crowd expanded by demographics (more kids every year) and embracing rap and metal more freely.
The revelation for me of getting into these threads and hardcore and Maximumrocknroll Radio over the past year has been to discover just how much great punk I've missed, partly because of my own prejudices, partly because traditional new-music outlets have ignored so much punk, and partly because so much punk has ignored traditional new-music outlets right back.

SHREDS is a good word to describe it, but it also doesn't emphasize how great the song-writing is. i find w/ a lot of popular hardcore acts these days, i can get behind the sound, but they really lack in the tunage department. not here. stream the LP here:

Hell yes, I love those Tronics reissues. Sic Alps tribute to Tronics 7" also good but not as good.

speaking of What's Your Rupture this band may be old news to some non-U.S. peeps but they just put out the Royal Headache record here ... so fucking good. search turns up some touts for it on last year's punk/non-indie/pitchfork gtfo thread but I never heard it until just now.
― dmr, Thursday, 14 June 2012 21:29 (11 months ago) Permalink
not crazy about the royal headache stuff - i like that they have a singer who can actually sing a little (good gimmick) but the songs aren't there
― congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 14 June 2012 21:30 (11 months ago) Permalink
I really love it but also recognize that a lotta the regulars in this thread may not like Ted Leo and early Strokes as much as I do (and the bands that those bands are influenced by, obv)
that's kinda what it reminds me of but more raw and soulful

and though i'm so tired of lo-fi it sounds good on this one for some reason

I've been listening to the Royal Headache a lot lately. It's very addictive. At first I thought the songs kind of fell off a bit in the second half, but even those are starting to catch on with me. I do think sometimes lo-fi can be an annoying affectation (see Times New Viking) but with these guys it sounds totally natural and is not really a bad production choice for this kind of music. I like the singer's totally unselfconscious way of embellishing the lyrics with old-school "oooh yeah"s and "baby"s.

The new Nu Sensae album is streamable right now. INSANELY good. The 3 piece lineup works ok on the old songs they redid. Not worse or anything, it just sounds exactly like the old songs, but with the lead parts played on guitar. The new songs though, are AMAZING! Highly recommended, and it should silence anyone who doubted if they would still be as good as a 3 piece.

not pigfuck per se, but dope body's 'natural history' is giving me some cows/jesus lizard vibes - along with some flipper/melvins plodding along the way. and helmet's notion of groove, i guess?

Went to Power of The Riff yesterday. Finally got to see this AWESOME San Francisco band called COPS. Members of XBXRX, Death Sentence: Panda!, and Total Shutdown among others. Gnarly as all hell hardcore with the occasional synth thrown in. You can find links to their songs by clicking on the pictures on their tumblr. http://nobodylikescops.tumblr.com/ . The other bands that played were really good too. Retox killed, Bio Crisis were really cool post-crust from Mexico, and I had never seen Noothgrush live, and they were WAY more awesome and energetic than I expected.

Peace from Vancouver also played, killed it. their records sound kind of like Sonic Youth: http://peacevancouver.bandcamp.com/ . also, Straight Crimes (Erin from High Castle/Sister Fucker/Child Pornography with Brad from Huff Stuff Magazine) played and they're probably the best new Oakland band of 2012.

Any of you guys have/hear the new Guinea Worms? I loved the 2xlp from CDR last time, but am seriously curious how they have gotten since then.

Any love for Drunk In Hell here? Have knocked me sideways both times I've seen them, they might just be my favourite band in Britain.

yeah that's a nice little drunks with guns/flipper fixation they got there

Looking at their gig history, they've played very few times outside of the North East. I think they're in Glasgow at the weekend?

me and other ppl had some cloud talk going at the weekend about setting up a UK tour w/ them and other bands (specifically, ones featuring the participants) but idk if it would be that practical. they seem to genuinely not care about getting more widely known and have had a debut album planned for at least two years, plus a split single w/ Kilslug. but yeah they completely floor me

nu-kilslug still an unbelievable thing to me. played a show with them last year and they went 90 minutes, basically doing every song they knew because the crowd wouldn't let them stop. they also put out a pretty demented record this year, 11" red vinyl that plays from the inside out, in a hardcover leather sleeve embossed w/ gold lettering. the label's selling them at a loss, total labor of satanic love.

after I sent out a mixtape to my friends with music by a band named Diarrhea Planet on it I lost all compunction for that kind of thing... sounds pretty good

RIP pat dzieweczynski of TVBC, legendary underground band here in minneapolis, he was in the original 80s lineup alongside paul metzger and freddy votel (votel was later in the cows, now in skoal kodiak)....but they were amazing, still play sometimes w/different lineup...but definitely flew the flag for weirdo punk funk jazz post punk improv in the 80s
you can listen to their classic album Ex-Cathedra here:

I feel like a weasel asking this every year instead of keeping up with this thread, but are there any consensus best punk/emo/noise-rock/hardcore/post-hardcore albums I should be checking out this year before making my EOY list? I feel so out of the loop, and the recommendations I get here are always so good

hank wood & the hammerheads, fnu ronnies, and white load are probably my top 3 of the year

just stumbled across these guys but BITS OF SHIT from Melbourne are kicking my ass as I type, this is a late contender for best punk LP of 2012 I think: http://homelessrecords.bandcamp.com/album/cut-sleeves
loud monotonous knuckledragger bar brawl blooze punk. don't think I'm projecting when I say it sounds deeply Australian. this is probably gonna be silly expensive for me to try and buy on wax, I might just spring for the download

xp that album is awesome. There are some quality live vids on youtube of them, I posted a couple previously

That FNU Ronnies album is very silly. The Converge record is great; one of the few I've actually heard this year. That Bits of Shit album is a hoot, too. Exactly what I want from an Australian punk band.
Couldn't find the White Load album online (Googling it produced the expected problems). Know if it's streaming anywhere?
― Evan R, Friday, 9 November 2012 15:54 (6 months ago) Permalink
it was released by the record label "load" if that helps

this band WOLFBAIT from Ireland could go in rolling noise or metal equally reasonably but I think folks here will dig it the most. it's been streaming a few weeks but I think a tape now exists, physically. should be graduated to LP at some point, imo. really REALLY killer grindy industrial bleakness ffo Swans/Buttholes/Today Is The Day/Shit & Shine while not sounding much like any of em. good review by ILX's MacDara here: http://thumped.com/music-reviews/wolfbait-wolfbait.html

Just saw the link to my review, thanks! Wolfbait is one of my favourite records of last year for sure; I'm sad I missed them play last night.
