I like the idea of this thread, but the problem with it is that, unlike pop, dance, metal and hip-hop, music like this is by nature unhappy being categorised and lumped in with other styles so it's gonna be a bit difficult. Still, I'll make a point of keeping up and posting :-)
― besides Sunny Real Estate (dog latin), Friday, 25 January 2013 14:30 (eleven years ago) link
The music itself is unhappy? It'll do what I bloody say. Not like genre is being forced upon anything - this thread is designed as a loose convocation of as wide a variety as possible of interesting or challenging music. The irony is that only your post ascribes any uniformity of character to potential inclusions.

haha, no it's more that dance music, for instance, thrives on being categorised under banners, whereas a lot of rock-based acts don't like to feel they're a part of any scene and I think fans themselves might feel uncomfortable with "ah this new band i just discovered is ripe for the rolling rock thread". maybe not, i dunno... it's where the rolling thread format breaks down for me. I miss outloud.fm.

Some tracks I loved from last year that I would have been blasting you all with in Outloud (RIP) but few if any other people got excited about:
LA Vampires and Maria Minerva - A Lover and a Friend (hipster housey)Hiss Golden Messenger - Blue Country Mystic (folky, discovered from the EOY nominations)Yori Horikawa - Bubbles (bubbly)Discoverer - Personal Clone (bladerunnerwave)Starring - the best (psych/noise covers of MOR hits seemed to be a thing this year)Mark McGuire - Surrogate Channels ("Adrenochrome" was my Emeralds jam this year, but MMG's under-the-radar EP was also great)Tenniscoats - Hikoki (twee post-rock odyssey)Collarbones - Hypothermia (reminds me of that Autre Ne Veut song, not as catchy but still cool)Sexy Fi - Pequeno Dictionário das Ruas (RIYL Latin American hipster shit, most "indie rock" thing on this list)Philipp Matalla - Space Line (more of that space disco I feast on)Astral Social Club - FRWRKZ RMRK (with Katy Perry!)Thousand Foot Whale Claw - Phobos (deep space synths)

yeah I think this thread has some value for stuff that slips thru the cracks. like I've been wanting to talk about humanbeast for a while, but not sure where to put them? rolling noise/punk/indie/psych don't really fit what they're doing. they came out of the providence noise/experimental scene but like many have moved into more cold electronic beat stuff, I guess ppl call it fake techno now? dreamy/screamy. after doing a few tapes they've got a proper full length coming out this year, live show is great.

This seems like as good a thread as any for this...
Cool PR guy Howard Wuelfing got me into a show from a band Cinema Cinema this past week, which was super nice of him since I am pretty much retired from musical musing. But I wanted to give them a little hype because the group was pretty impressive. Playing a Monday night opening for a local and with only a handful of attendees, the Brooklyn duo - a bald, bearded, bad-ass guitarist/vocalist and a hyper-kinetic drummer (and they're cousins!) - acted like it was still a matter of life or death.
The group obviously digs Black Flag and it wasn't just the fact the singer/six stringer had a Flag tee on. Or that they apparently toured with Greg Ginn. Though those two factoids make me wish I could compare the band to someone else, it would be inaccurate given the frantic, riff-spazz-riff-spazz-spazz-riff style of the guitarist. To be sure, there are much worse bands to ape.
I picked up an EP and the last CD the band put out entitled "Manic Children & The Slow Aggression." You can stream the whole album on their website. The disc - produced by legendary DC producer Don Zientara at the legendary Inner Ear Studios and self-released - is not quite as good as the show was because Cinema Cinema stuck to the thrash-pop live. Frankly the slower, quieter stuff where he eschews screaming for singing pales in comparison to when the two guys just lose their collective shit. Fortunately they do that a lot more than not.
Here's the video from the album. Fortunately it's for an uptempo track (I think they know where their bread is toasted).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwQVFg3N3gY
Apparently the band will play anywhere they are allowed to plug in and they play out in NYC, Brooklyn and northern NJ relatively often. I recommend seeing Cinema Cinema if the description or recorded stuff is even a little appealing to you because they killed it live.

eh, it’s standard low-level bobbins cru carping about the elevation of noise and its corollary ~the degradation of groove~ together purportedly making the material sound like shit on sound systems + difficult to mix w/ standard techno fair. also, annoyance w/ the hype factor/crossover appeal that grants the artists greater coverage than veterans who don’t have a novel noise angle, which I’m sure is true but IDGAF. tbf I enjoy the label’s tunes more as lo-fi psych jams + I don’t have to mix this racket into crowd-moving sets.
