rolling punk / non-indie underground 2013

kinda arty trash rock

missed a show with them tonight

also these dudes

like psychy dark funk punk

CONCRETE CROSS (a name which feels like the perfect intersection between interesting-sounding and generic-sounding) from NYC have made the best brickwall hardcore record that I'm aware of this year. the singer was in some bands in the 90s that passed me by like Indecision and Milhouse. anyway this rips and you can hear it here https://soundcloud.com/man-in-decline-records/sets/concrete-cross-self-titled-lp

Flopson,

Did you see Blank Realm or Total Control recently? Thinking after the fact that I shoulda gone to those 2 shows. Not sure if those Down Under groups fit here exactly but maybe they do.

I finally got around to listening to the crazy spirit LP that is some proper snotty hc. Tonight was a who's who of bristol hc, disorder, Fuk, lunatic fringe, plus.the varukers headlined (west midlands represent) . Fuk clearly the best of the lot tbh

u mean at chaos in tejas? i didn't end up going... or... did they play montreal?!

(xp curmudge)

So jealous of chaos in tejas

yeah,...

yeahhhhhh

i'm not sure where else to post this, but it rules super hard. 10-minute album jam-packed with huge riffs and hooks.

x-post to Flopson

Oh, I thought you were in the W. DC area like me. Blank Realm and Total Control were here

Weird, both of the bands I posted there are on SPIN today. I love predicting the future.

there is lots of good stuff at this but the Zigfrid Von Underbelly stage is worth the admission price on its own

despite actually passing through London on this day I can't go :(

never pass up an opportunity to see wtf dave thomas does at a pere ubu show!

when i saw them it was so amazing, in the middle of the set he got mad at the band and marched them offstage in the middle of the set to go yell at them.

then he was so mad at the crowd at the end he forbid any merch sales!

Don't call him "Dave."

Would he be upset if you asked him to sign an 8x10" of the founder of Wendy's?

Somehow I'd manage to completely avoid hearing about East End Live. Usually stuff like that turns up on my RSS feed from last.fm but I guess nobody added it yet, or they did this week when I haven't got around to setting up new RSS post google reader shutdown. I was going to go to see Despise You that night but this might well be a better choice. I've never seen Pere Ubu before. Trouble is with stuff like this I expect a lot of bands I'd like to see will clash with each other but there are no stage times as yet. I can live without seeing Comet Gain and Monochrome Set cos I've seen them before so it's not a big deal.

So anyway cheers for the heads up DJ Mencap.

i found out about this band a year ago through someone posting on this thread and man, they`re so good... really taut high energy punk with cool kinda minutemen-ey interludes. think you guys would really like em

also this whatever brains album on sorry state is a fun listen: http://sorrystaterecords.bandcamp.com/album/whatever-brains-2013

Just got into Whore Paint. They get a lot of Arab on Radar and Doomsday Student comparisons, but I don't hear it. I think MRR described them best "babes in Toyland meets Christian Death."

their record's dropping soon. sounds like they captured the weird muscle/space/force of their live show so I'm psyched.

MHV were fucking rad. They're kinda done now tho. The twins in the band (Wyatt and Fletcher, drums and bass, respectively) have a two piece drum and bass band called The Garden that are amazing. Kind of a mix of post punk, garage, surf, and experimental. They have a few albums available on bandcamp. They're kind of blowing up. I booked them at the last show I put together. In addition to that, each member of MHV has a solo project. Fletcher does the synthpop Puzzle, Wyatt does the straight pop Enjoy, and Rex (the singer/guitarist) does this awesome acoustic+drum machine emo project called Rexx.

this gas rag demo is one of the best punk releases ive heard this year http://gasrag.bandcamp.com/

Been kind of obsessed with this song:

smash bash howl, sound good

I saw Radkey open a show last night and they bowled me over. These kids are the real deal.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5K0ZOH-koY

saw these dudes open for hunx & chain & the gang last night, immediately fell in love with front lady

i dig how she and the guitarist are in the same register so when they sing together they just sound like one of them is being chorused

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ViiJy_2vEU

ugh i will never understand how youtube works here i swear

just don't leave the 's' for 'secure' at the beginning of yr url, it won't git auto-embedded

So I got the promo for the new/old BL'AST! record, BLOOD!, which is supposed to be a long-forgotten session of the songs they recorded for It's In My Blood! that they found the tapes for, etc etc. But I'm playing it, and the guitar tracks sound identical to the SST album. And the sloppy drum hits are in the right places. If I was a betting man, I'd wager this was actually a remix of It's In My Blood!. Hmm.

iirc it was pretty badly mixed but I guess that goes without saying since it came out on SST

Just weird that they wouldn't sell it as a remix of the original album. Legal issues with Ginn, perhaps?

I could be wrong, and I don't have any fancy software to compare, but the guitar tracks are identical to my ears. I'm not even sure where William DuVal's supposed second guitar fits into the mix.
