rolling punk/non-indie underground 2012

first king tuff album is wonderful

don't try to outflank me elitist!

I am enjoying everything by Psychic Feline right now. Are they this-thread?

Holy shit they played with Animals & Men in Portland. POOOORTLAAAAND!!!

psychic feline sound like some 80s NZ velvets throwback sure why not

psychic feline are from portland, they played at my old house last year opening for Nucular Aminals

The new Nu Sensae album is streamable right now. INSANELY good. The 3 piece lineup works ok on the old songs they redid. Not worse or anything, it just sounds exactly like the old songs, but with the lead parts played on guitar. The new songs though, are AMAZING! Highly recommended, and it should silence anyone who doubted if they would still be as good as a 3 piece.

I guess I could google but where

copied from the nu-pigfuck thread :

not pigfuck per se, but dope body's 'natural history' is giving me some cows/jesus lizard vibes - along with some flipper/melvins plodding along the way. and helmet's notion of groove, i guess?

tho, in this case the confrontational posture of some of these bands is put aside for some welcoming goofiness...

Saw them again a week or so ago and they were great, though w/r/t to Thomson he seemed distracted and unapproachable before they played and the second they got done he was totally normal, easy to talk, etc.

They forgot to bring any merch though so I didn't get a single

the standard quality of the recording here betrays how awesome this band were last night: http://marychrist.bandcamp.com/album/mary-christ

they're on a US tour, go see em.

also, agreed with Izzy re the new Nu Sensae.

in the new MRR, they give it a totally substandard review, and i totally almost want to write a damn letter. eugh.

MRR gave a substandard review, how unusual

naomi punk from portland! good stuff!

Went to Power of The Riff yesterday. Finally got to see this AWESOME San Francisco band called COPS. Members of XBXRX, Death Sentence: Panda!, and Total Shutdown among others. Gnarly as all hell hardcore with the occasional synth thrown in. You can find links to their songs by clicking on the pictures on their tumblr. http://nobodylikescops.tumblr.com/ . The other bands that played were really good too. Retox killed, Bio Crisis were really cool post-crust from Mexico, and I had never seen Noothgrush live, and they were WAY more awesome and energetic than I expected.

finally saw Hasps (2/3rds of Gay Beast), and they are amazing

xp COPS is 2/3rds of Death Sentence: Panda!

naomi punk is great! seeing them in a couple weeks!!

new black pus out today

http://blackpus.bandcamp.com/

this Bits of Shit album is getting a bit of interest down here. Looks like they put on a pretty awesome live show!

Black Pus is online only right now by the looks? I would spring for a CD(R) cos he packages em nicely

I like that he tweets as http://twitter.com/AhaFan88

I would buy most of these records based on the band names alone

lightning bolt's about to go on the road and have a new record coming out at the end of sept, so no physical copies of the new black pus, think he's just blowing off steam tbh

but he's got others in varying states of availability including one on load. that new one's pretty stupefying tho - "play god"!

also, all recorded on a tascam cassette 4 trk

it is bafflingly tricky to buy Load releases in the UK atm - they don't deal with any bedroom distros that I know of but they don't turn up in eg my local store either (and they used to)

there's probably some big online place that has em idk

are you in london? I know they switched distro's a while ago. amazon maybe? plus I think they take international orders on their website if you wanna order direct.

Wiccans' 2nd LP, "Field II" will be available tomorrow from Katorga Works

here's a track - http://soundcloud.com/katorga-works/kw-018

tomorrow? hasn't it been out for a while? i bought a copy off them live earlier in the summer, it's good but not as good as the debut

iirc it's getting released by a Euro label around now so maybe that's it? I did mean to buy it when that happened

i'm in the band. the tour copies were 110 test presses that were done for tour because it wasn't ready in time.
these are the final copies.

it's out in europe on Hardware as of a few weeks ago.

brain tumors is some serious hardcore

http://derangedrecords.bandcamp.com/album/fuck-you-forever

it's been quiet in here... too quiet...

http://divorce.bandcamp.com/

lol winning sperm party

going to see hank wood & the hammerheads next month :-D

yeah they're good them

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esG22B5-Ozs

^ think i quite liked this lp iirc

Loving Divorce

child abuse killed it in pvd a couple weeks ago, hope they play a show w/ divorce if they come to the US, the flyer will look like a social services ad

great Nu Sensae show on friday at a squat in Oakland. Peace from Vancouver also played, killed it. their records sound kind of like Sonic Youth: http://peacevancouver.bandcamp.com/ . also, Straight Crimes (Erin from High Castle/Sister Fucker/Child Pornography with Brad from Huff Stuff Magazine) played and they're probably the best new Oakland band of 2012.

http://soundcloud.com/straight-crimes . they've gotten much tighter since these posts.

New Sex Church 12" pre-order ends today:

http://instantpleasure.bandcamp.com

Any of you guys have/hear the new Guinea Worms? I loved the 2xlp from CDR last time, but am seriously curious how they have gotten since then.

Since Edward suggested it...

Any love for Drunk In Hell here? Have knocked me sideways both times I've seen them, they might just be my favourite band in Britain.
