rolling punk/non-indie underground 2012

it's not particularly unique but it's very catchy - alone & stoned is my favorite

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.

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

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.

wtf guys what bars are you going to?

OK, more like an obnoxiously-recorded third-tier '90s indie band.

New Bitch Prefect album on Bedroom Suck is great, here is the single/terrible film clip: http://vimeo.com/40087258

good song tho

there were parts of your set at The Lab that were super awesome - the parts with more rhythmic junk percussion type stuff were rad.

Yeah, I kinda gave up on the rhythmic stuff halfway through, since the synths were kinda drowning out the percussion

Haha yes they were!

man i forgot i love this thread

Edward III - tell me about Ed Schraders Music Beat

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!

rad! will probably catch them on tour next month

yeah you won't be sorry. abrasive art pop, weird, short songs/short set. sweet guys too, chat them up if f you can.

saw locals and friends DISPLEASURE last night. live show is off the hook.
