rolling punk/non-indie underground 2012

I think Wichita put their stuff out in the UK so I kind of think of them as a mnstrm-ish indie band but no it doesn't really matter

best new (relatively) hardcore I've heard in a minute - LONG PIGS from Brooklyn who are just complete OTT chaos on their 7" - there is a lot of that kind of thing right now I suppose but they do it really powerfully

no relation to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZW04NmOf7g </LBZC>

Ah I just downloaded that off some blog - amongst 70 billion other things, but I might actually listen to it now.

the men just put all their out-of-print stuff up on mediafire

I'm not a regular to this thread, but I came across this. Don't know if you guys know of or even like it, but:

I like how the singer sounds like he's just been woken up from a horrifying dream

dude who ran negative guest list zine out of australia died last night! RIP

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=SEge-g6mTu4

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

Anyone going to see The Men in London on the 23rd?

https://www.facebook.com/events/260350067367173

Probably, yeah

mega bummer abt BA ngl ;_;

xpost

Other stuff coming up which is punk-related in some fashion:

Agathocles (tonight)
The Lyres (next Monday)
The Authorities (27th Feb)
GiftGasAttack (15th Mar)

I will probably be going to all of those, money permitting

Oh yeah and anarcho-punk festival on first weekend of march.

the men are sooooo good

Is this referring to live show, or just generally? A friend is trying to get me to go see them (The Men, that is), but it would require travelling over an hour, which I don't really do too much any more.

oh just go

c'maaawn

I guess that is the answer!

i missed them live this summer actually, my band was asked to open but our guitarist was out of town and i forgot about it :-(

seeing them in a month or something, though, really stoked

feeling these new Slices traxxx http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2012/02/slices_are_stii.html

assumed "someone call fucked up's lawyers" in the comments was just some typical Brooklyn Vegan cretin child but um it's not as far away as I expected

i like this single by California X a lot

http://thesoundsofsweetnothing.bandcamp.com/album/sucker-mummy-double-a-side

Is the new thing inventing band names specifically for google?

Weird story:

http://www.scotsman.com/edinburgh-evening-news/bnp_chief_wades_into_city_bondage_punk_s_tribunal_1_2123362#.T0Ad-1BqtCQ.facebook

Mish Bondage from Sado Nation turns up in Scotland working for the BNP. Her current band just kicked her out of the band since this came out.

Woah that is odd

feel like I've read something abt that band having far right links or w/e in the 80s, not that that means it isn't weird

They also had John Shirley as a member. So thread connection with the Blue Oyster Cult thread there.

really digging the new ceremony record. the songs are catchy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNYVFDgM0HE

i like what i'm hearing from gary wrong

I like some of the Ceremony album but they seem to be deliberately inept at times?

retox is like noise rock for fashion models

i vogued to their live show just for you E3!

listening to "rohnert park LP" by ceremony on spotify, assuming its the same band as posted above?

anyway it's good! real snotty!

yeah, rohnert park was their last one, new one is called zoo. "sick" on rohnert park is so great.

haha yeah the sick one has that classic brattiness, almost like circle jerks group sex or something (not really musically) but yeah i dig it

btw this isn't really kool dude underground hxc or noise punk or w/e but i have a big big soft spot for dillinger four big boned anthemic burly pop punk, and Blood Sweat and Beards does it great

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Blood-Sweat-and-Beards/108216532575735?sk=app_178091127385

attn: hoos

lolol that name is like the ultimate parody band name for that whole scene

haha yeah it's intentional for sure, one of the main dudes is the booking agent at the tr1ple r0ck soc1al club which is the bar that the D4 dudes own in mpls

cool thx, how was doomsday student

Doomsday Student slayed. Three friends and I agreed that they are the best of the post-Arab on Radar-bands. We also agreed that we miss Arab on Radar.

yeah not to rub it in or anything but that AoR reunion was phenomenal, it's too bad those freaks can't get along

haha, yeah, that's what I heard from other East Coast friends

but i also want to put in a plug for the local opener at the Retox/Doomsday Student show -- they are a newish band called Stillsuit, all-female, a bit no-wavey, really cool.

I love Stillsuit! Their tape is so fucking rad! I caught em in Socal with Rind. Got some gnarly photos of them, too. I actually have a lot of underground noise/punk photos on my artist page, if you guys wanna check em out! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Graphic-Garrett/302014879820158

also, this

lightning bolt put a 20 minute 4 track recording on bandcamp today, hit it while it's hot

http://lightningbolt.bandcamp.com/

This is the home of the official Lightning Bolt Practice of the Month club. Probably more like Practice of the Every 6 Months Club, but the plan is to post some of our best home recorded jams for your listening pleasure, or displeasure.

Stillsuit is a rad band name

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.

this is really great! like nation of ulysses meets joy division

Ex Nuns - Piss/Shit Mountain EP (i know...i know)

http://exnuns.bandcamp.com/album/piss-shit-mountain-ep

no apologies for scatology on the rolling punk thread

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:

http://tvbc.bandcamp.com/album/ex-cathedra

http://drunkinhell.bandcamp.com/

Okay I'm really wishing bandcamp had a built-in volume control right now. Goddamn.

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

haven't heard new uv race yet but i'm stoked for that

CONVERGE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFWESHoTgE0

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

that sounds amazing

love the vox, just my style

haven't heard new uv race yet but i'm stoked for that

― flopson, Thursday, November 8, 2012 6:38 PM (1 hour ago)

ha I was just abt to ask if anybody's heard this yet

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?

it was released by the record label "load" if that helps

i'm at work so i don't know if these streams are still live but giveitashot http://builtonaweakspot.com/post/20914579366/white-load-waynes-world-iii-b-w-godfather-iv-lp

i am seeing hank wood & the hammerheads tonight. is it true they killed a chicken on stage?

ha bleeding hearts, i meant EXPLODING hearts

new STNNNG video from the upcoming album (recorded w.Albini & mastered at Abbey Road for vinyl)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mc7AZMOO35Q

anybody heard the new tyvek

yep, love it.

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

digging the wolfbait

p.s. rolling punk / non-indie underground 2013

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.
