Best Underground American Noise Act of the Noise-Punk Era (ca. 1998-2005)

we had this discussion upthread, where you pretty much dismissed most of the relevant Bay Area acts as "too rock"

lol

There was also a whole Chicago/Midwest scene that is somewhat included in this poll

The bands you mentioned — Burmese and Total Shutdown and Mae Shi — are all on here!

I won't deny that I do have an East Coast bias tho, because that's where I was at!

Yeah Pink and Brown/Burmese/Total Shutdown/XBXRX/USAisaMonster were too "rock band" for the poll,

plowing through disc 3 starting to feel like I need a break.

Fathers Day's "I Have So Much Respect For Women" oddly appropriate these days

also non-retro, also immune to being licensed and used in marketing/ad industry

Tylenols Ouch campaign

Ouch campaign was a real pioneer in what would basically be how the music industry worked from 2005 to present

Just blasting these bands all day. This is rapidly becoming my nostalgic happy place :O

as much shit as i gave you on this thread, thanks for yr mix.

axolotl was rly good

Can anyone Leonardo those Whiney mixes, pretty pls?

Guerilla Toss and Horse Lords are the only bands I can think of that formed after 2010 that belong in this class. I really miss the abundance of insanely great experimental/noise acts in the 00's.

I would also shout out
Divorce: https://divorce.bandcamp.com/album/divorce-2
White Suns: https://whitesuns.bandcamp.com/album/sinews
Palberta: https://palbertapalberta.bandcamp.com/album/bye-bye-berta

But, yeah, pickings are slim these days

My wife loved yr mixtapes btw whiney

:)

i know they were excluded from this poll but i just found this video of Arab on Radar playing in a boxing ring

they miss themselves too -- now everyone's older and is having kids and merch sales doesn't offset the cost of touring the way it used to, and now it's all about darkwave and minimal wave and live PAs

yeah it sucks

now it's all about darkwave and minimal wave and live PAs

painfully otm

dj martian always knew he would be vindicated in time

Full of Hell

what does live PAs mean

V disappointed I missed Whiney's mixes.

Idk why I never got deeper into this scene; maybe just out of fear that it would be exhausting to keep up with it all?

well it's over so it probably wouldn't be too exhausting

Well, yeah; I meant at the time.

it was fun- I remember there was a whole section at a record store here that was just CDRs and tapes spraypainted with like... leaves and twigs and shit glued to the packaging

Just combing thru the Wolf Eyes discography was exhilarating... RIVER SLAUGHTER is my favorite of all those limited shits I got

Wolf Eyes has been really good about keeping their Bandcamp robust, and I've been enjoying the ability to hear a lot of this stuff

Why does no one bring up Sun Foot, Human Adult Band, PC Worship, Kaleidoscope, FNU Clone, Timeghost, HOGG, etc. Tons of bands are plugging away. There is no one scene, but the bands are there. Some one should start a label to document it.

PC Worship and Timeghost rule

because the only thing less lucrative than being in a noise band is running a noise label?

this thread is a treasure. was sad that links to Whiney's mixes were broken. still... a ton of stuff to hunt down. was peripherally aware of some of the bands discussed here, but mostly just got into Wolf Eyes and Yellow Swans - though tbh the only Yellow Swans album I ever loved was Going Places which is pretty much ambient music (and released in '10).

yo this Universal Eyes (Aaron Dilloway / Gretchen Gonzales / John Olson / Nate Young) album is amazing

I miss the whole Hair Police/Air Conditioning/Sightings vibes where it looked/felt like a Black Flag show with dudes thrashing around on instruments and people sweating all over, but sounded like a garbage truck eating a smaller garbage truck.
