not sure where to post about this so I'll just put it here, really been liking the Tronics reissue on What's Your Rupture
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtKg9LA4pC8
"Loved Backed By Force" LP and the Shark Fucks / Time Off single

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.

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

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
― dmr, Thursday, 14 June 2012 21:33 (eleven years ago) link
listening now, pretty good...like if the early oblivions were a power pop band

i'm really digging this royal headache!
i def hear the ted leo/pharmacists vibe in the songs
and though i'm so tired of lo-fi it sounds good on this one for some reason

I listened to it 3 times yesterday

the king tuff album has been scratching my pop-punk itch
― congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 14 June 2012 21:55 (eleven years ago) link
Royal Headache is really good through the first few tracks.

was really excited for this after hearing "bad thing", but the rest of it sounded bad to me on one listen
― mizzell, Friday, 15 June 2012 15:33 (eleven years ago) link
i do not understand the fuss over king tuff
― wack nerd zinging in the dead of night (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 15 June 2012 15:54 (eleven years ago) link
it's not particularly unique but it's very catchy - alone & stoned is my favorite
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 15 June 2012 15:55 (eleven years ago) link
haven't heard much fuss about it. seems like a less obnoxious alternative to girls and jay reatard. listening again to bad thing right now. it's great.
― mizzell, Friday, 15 June 2012 15:59 (eleven years ago) link
Shit, I LOVE that new King Tuff album. The HAppy Birthday album he did on Sub Pop was totally underrated, too! "Subliminal Message" rules.

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.

ha yeah i thought that too about TNV until i saw them live and w/o that they were a fairly sloppy unremarkable bar rock band
― wack nerd zinging in the dead of night (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 15 June 2012 20:26 (eleven years ago) link
That's funny. I think I might like them better as an unremarkable bar band. On the albums I've heard, they sound like an obnoxiously recorded unremarkable bar band.
― o. nate, Friday, 15 June 2012 20:38 (eleven years ago) link
wtf guys what bars are you going to?
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 15 June 2012 20:44 (eleven years ago) link
OK, more like an obnoxiously-recorded third-tier '90s indie band.

there were parts of your set at The Lab that were super awesome - the parts with more rhythmic junk percussion type stuff were rad.
― sarahell, Sunday, 8 July 2012 21:48 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, I kinda gave up on the rhythmic stuff halfway through, since the synths were kinda drowning out the percussion

Edward III - tell me about Ed Schraders Music Beat
― sarahell, Friday, 13 July 2012 19:52 (eleven years ago) link
i saw them they were good....imagine like noise dudes tried to form like a "beat combo" a la the monks...but it's sort of incredibly punishing live! but catchy and fun!
― wack nerd zinging in the dead of night (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 13 July 2012 20:23 (eleven years ago) link
rad! will probably catch them on tour next month
― sarahell, Friday, 13 July 2012 20:24 (eleven years ago) link
yeah you won't be sorry. abrasive art pop, weird, short songs/short set. sweet guys too, chat them up if f you can.
