It's 2011 so Witch House & Chillwave move over because Grave Wave is here?

1. These New Puritans – Orion
3. These New Puritans – White Chords (Stalker Remix)

^^ this band is great but they've been going for 3-4 years now, amirite? not sure how they'd fit in w/ "gravewave" or watever this shit is

how did "gravewave" leapfrog "haunted house" as the next silly microgenre title?

"haunted house" makes sense, people!

she unnerves me more than any "gravewave" act

pete burns is looking pretty hot these days

srsly trying to ride the coattails of These New Puritans to the palace of non-suck

also, after wading through reams of horrible misogyny, I found out the answer was "marmalade"

Ew, it's one of those pay to download crappy things. Or at least I couldn't get it to download.

I just had to wander through the gross youtube comments

lol this is some rar this guy put together for his blog u know that right

this is ilm u know that right

The Jokers of the Scene remix of Asia by Salem was one of my favourite tracks of last year and I think Gatekeeper are amazing.

That said, most of these tracks are pretty dire. Cult Of Youth, for example, sound like mid-period New Model Army. Utterly without merit.

soft metals are completely awesome, the rest of this music can fuck off imo

More into gravy wave tbh. Chicken Stock Aitken and Waterman, stuff like that.

gatekeeper are ace

The Sauce ft. Candi Staton?

lol grave wave is cool..... if its march 2009

Anything worth listening out of these?

soft metals
memory tapes (probably not that remix though)
like some stuff by Jokers of the Scene (new Shit Robot rmx of them is good)

uh yeah that's about it

This is so stupid, how is there any connection at all between most of these artists

I mean you could draw a pretty solid TriangleWave line between five or six of these bands but otherwise this is basically a useless comp

We are literally forcing shit into genres now, there's not even an attempt to make anything concrete

That said, Blessure Grave are awesome (as are Gatekeeper)

downloaded gatekeeper from emusic today. THANKS TO YOU, GRAVEWAVE COMP.

Didn't Ben Is Dead magazine, via I Hate Brenda newsletter, invent grave wave by name in the early 90s, via the Rump CD?

"Brenda Brenda B-B-B-B-Brenda"

I was calling this giallo disco....

but everything gotta be a wave these days....

yeah. surf-punk should be waves-wave.

still laughing at the fact there is a witch house/grave wave band called Nowa Huta

Oi! should be shave wave.

Neo-classical = Stave Wave.

Norwegian Black Metal = Cave Wave.

Bowie = Dave Wave.

Cold Chisel = engrave wave

There's actually a lot of really interesting bands in the Witch-house scene when you dig around past Salem and oOoOO. Have any of you heard the Creep mix on FACT? Really great spooky sounds on both sides of the pond!

Can't say I've heard many people mention grave-wave before now!

Ah this is a classic "made up by 90s NME staffer in lunch hour"-style fake genre. It's always nice to see there are people who can be bothered to corral a load of bands no one cares about together purely for the sake of it. These New Puritans being the structurally necessary band that people actually listen to.

^otm

Kerr with all respect you are kind of a mark when it comes to this thing - anyone who is invested in music culture enough to make up a damn genre name and try and tell people about it is probably also gonna know how much it winds ppl up, and to a large degree be doing exactly that

new wave of new grave

have you guys heard dj tripmode squad? it's screwed and chopped chillwave.

you know like trapp snarrres over square wave bass

Anyone heard the new Gatekeeper?

Kind of aghast, honestly. It sounds like a cross between 90s Planetary Assault System tracks and the Propellerheads.

Maybe with a little Front Line Assembly thrown in, its frickin weird.

I was scared off after reading a few reviews, that said it was neither an accomplished or enjoyable listen.
