rolling punk/non-indie underground 2012

man i'd like to see bottomless pit again

I love Chris Thomson, but the Red-Eyed Legends sounded kinda lifeless to me when I listened to it, which was not something I would have ever imagined from a CT record. Maybe my memory is harsh. Coffin Pricks sound alright so far ...

yeah i could never get into REL as much as skull kontrol or the monorchid

yeah i saw red-eyed legends too and they didn't do much for me

I think maybe they just weren't good. Whereas Skull Kontrol, The Monorchid, and Circus Lupus were great.

feel like his bands always start out strong and then fade pretty quickly, maybe that's why he's in a new band every couple of years?

Yeah, maybe so. Don't know much about the dude at all, just like the records from those bands. Liked the first Skull Kontrol a lot better than the second though, so perhaps true overall.

I know a bunch of folks who weren't into Red Eyed Legneds much I always liked seeing them and dig the records, though I am admitedly biased.

Heard some of the Coffin Pricks stuff and I really like, though again I'm pretty much a sucker for any CT thing

<3 skull kontrol

That whole record rules. Played the hell out of it when I had a radio show. Plus, it's got Rick Froberg on it!

Man, what does Andy Coronado do now? That guy's playing hits so many sweet spots for me. Was he in the Wrangler Brutes too?

he was

Thought so, thanks (could have looked it up I guess). Gonna go listen to some Coronado.

new band from chicago called Football, one guy used to be in some great bands in mpls

http://soundcloud.com/football-chicago

initially riff reminds me of A Frames but then it gets a bit more garage but it's cool

Football were sort of ridic metal-y when I saw them but I think they have "evolved" since then, natch

haha really weird

I think it was their first non-Super Bowl show and everyone(me)was really drunk so that might have affected my preception of it

had no idea the split cranium (isis, circle, pharoah overlord) record had dropped: http://splitcranium.bandcamp.com/

Speaking of Wrangler Brutes related bands, there's a new band called C.R.A.S.H. that has Dean, from No Age, Michelle from Mika Miko, Cundo, from Nazti Skinz, and Brooks from Wrangler Brutes/Universal Order of Armageddon. REALLY good project. It's interesting to hear people from No Age and Mika Miko play straightforward hardcore.

Re Fake Limbs:

they kinda sound like rye coalition before they went totally led zep

That description alone really makes me want to check them out. Thanks!

ha that's funny because i said the same thing on facebook and one of my friends was making fun of me for using "early rye coalition" as a helpful musical description

so this is old from 2008 but it is awesome

I watched that like 20x in row yesterday

XD

wow, that dishwashers vid is great. 2008? would have loved to have seen them.

I know, right? I was all fired up to book them a pvd show but apparently one of the dudes had a baby and now they're semi-defunct.

haven't listened to it yet but coffin pricks have a live set up for free download/streaming on epitonic: http://epitonic.com/

what do you guys think of the WHITE LOAD LP "WAYNES WORLD II b/w GODFATHER IV"

just to say that the grindcore band MRSA are fucking badass and remind me a bit of Capitalist Casualties.

yep.

what do you guys think of the WHITE LOAD LP "WAYNES WORLD II b/w GODFATHER IV"

great album

in the process of watching that Dishwashers thing 20x in a row

Free live Coffin Pricks set to download... pretty into it:
http://epitonic.com/features/epitonic-saki-sessions/coffin-pricks-epitonic-saki-session/

wow I had no idea Epitonic was still going, I downloaded a ton of free mp3s from there... 11-12 years ago?

(also that Dishwashers thing is rad)

That Dishwashers thing rules! What was the story with those guys?!

from NYC, don't think they ever released anything, apparently they did record some stuff tho. now defunct but I'm trying to inveigle something.

yeah, i looked all over for any word of anything officially released, no dice

wow I had no idea Epitonic was still going, I downloaded a ton of free mp3s from there... 11-12 years ago?

lol me too - in fact I could've sworn I looked at that site a few years ago and it was frozen in 2003, either I am mistaken or they managed to reboot it recently?

chiming in love for that dishwashers youtube

hmm man i don't know if i can hang w/the vocals in screaming females

hmm ok maybe i'm getting into the vox, if i think in x ray spex terms kinda

love that album, had "rotten apple" in my head the entire day the other day

ok i am now completely charmed by screaming females :)

so whats been going on around portland/olympia/spokane/seattle? who should i check out from that area?

This may violate the 'non-indie'ness of this thread to some extent, but from Olympia, you should scope:

- Milk Music
- Gun Outfit
- Broken Water
- Weird TV
- Son Skull
- White Boss

Milk Music just played up the road from where I was doing a show tonight (in the UK) which obv meant I didn't see them - they have a groundswell of publicity on their side tho so it probly did OK

my show had a pretty crappy turnout but featured London ensemble WOOLF who are relevant to the parameters of this thread and were triffic in a no wave riot grrrl standup drummer Skinned Teen way

http://woolf.bandcamp.com/

I love the First Four EPs and lurve last year's "Rotten Apple," but am I the only fan who finds the production on the new Off! album a little... off?

I haven't heard the new Off!...as much add I loved the 7 inch box, and seeing them live, I kinda don't wanna mess with it....it was this perfect little blast from someone I'd never expected to care about again

Not sure I want off to be around like a career band

Yeah, totally! It was just this out-of-nowhere surprise thing; it would kind of be cool as a standalone curiosity. What's wrong with the production on the new one? I thought the Pitchfork review pretty much said "more of the same," tunes-wise.

I like the new one a good deal more than the EPs collection - there's very little demonstrable difference btwn them other than (imo) the songs on 'Off!' are better and earwormier
