rolling punk/non-indie underground 2012

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:

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

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

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)

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.
