rolling punk / non-indie underground 2013

I always go back'n'forth on 'em a bit but yeah it's good isn't it

seeing Merchandise later. suspect the venue is going to be a sight bigger than the audience they'll attract but should be fun

new jacuzzi boys album is fantastic

into the new obits album too despite not really liking anything else i've heard by them

our local boys Blind Shake, who have been amazing for nearly 10 years now, have new record coming out on Castle Face (John Dwyer's label) and i hope y'all check it out

heard good things about jacuzzi boys

i'm going to see oh sees with blind shake opening in late october, considering going to see jacuzzi boys and king tuff even though they're opening for wavves

joanna gruesome and pottymouth albums seem promising too

blind shake hands down one of the great live bands around now you will dig it

Joanna Gruesome album is a fine example of the kind of thing that it is but in all fairness should never be discussed in a thread with "non-indie" in its title

fair enough but then you should probably discount everything else i posted today too. the problem is the rolling indie threads seem to operate on a more british definition of "indie" as twee wussy stuff which is not what i'm interested in.

lot of tweepop in JG's game is all. not heard Pottymouth but I thought they were an at least somewhat riot grrrl-derived thing as per their name, no?

Eh it's fine when I started the first thread I just wanted a place to talk about good new rock that wasn't like shins and the national and crap

DJ Asscap

DJ Thread Policecrap

thank god the famous punk rock spirit has returned to the thread, that was a pretty scary 15 hours or so

I LOVE what I've heard of the new Blind Shake. Completely unfair, but I do miss Michael Yonkers with them.

Speaking of Minneapolis, Sh@kedown, where do you fall down on Kitten Forever? I think that song is the most amazing thing to get regular-rotation Radio K airplay since I don't know when.

yeah they are cool

i kinda like any band that l@ura is in (baby guts, cadette, etc) she has a good feel for punk, kitten forever is a little poppier than baby guts bu

but i like it :)

cadette:

Yeah, I think Baby Guts was my last basement show (ashamed to say). I forgot to mention, I heard this at Hymie's and picked it up:

The first song, at least, is truly great.

haha i haven't been to basement show in years and i'm not ashamed at all

yeah i heard a few things from them...

rabbit holes seem like they are gonna b p good (ex tora tora torrance, voytek)

self otm

the new potty mouth is a really eerie recreation of 90s indie punk but they have good songs and can really play. bonus points for actually getting a good sound in the studio not settling for lo-fi

stnnng was fucking awesome btw, even in broad daylight in front of 20 people in a record store

yeah they bring it!

unrelated:

I never really like No Age before but this new album is pretty brilliant.

Still kiting off last week's Patti Smith/No Age show (at the old train depot in St. Paul). And Flag!

flag was so good

couldn't do both

sounds like the patti thing was way cool, ariel pink cameo i heard?

bonus pts for song lengths

It's a pretty punky weekend for me. Rival Mob/Mind Eraser/Violent Reaction tonight and D.O.A.'s last ever tour tomorrow night.

Anyone know where I might be able to get a copt of NASA Space Universe's EGM EP, or better yet the ICE/EGM tape? My Google-fu is failing me.

Wage Theft (great band name & like this crazy spazz punk)

I missed D.O.A.'s gig in D.C. But they were always fun live when I saw 'em way back when

Yeah it was just Joey Shithead + 2 randoms but it was a fun gig. Mostly the old classic stuff and a couple of new ones. Good crowd too, which made me happy cos a lot of the oldsters don't draw much of a crowd in London these days, especially at that venue for some reason. E.g. saw the Lyres there a few weeks ago, "classic" line-up, first time in London in 27 years etc, half empty.

That was a great couple of nights of gigs all round, the Rival Mob/Mind Eraser gig was awesome, one of the best hardcore shows I've been to in a while. Crowd was mental.

this Impalers album is pretty banging Motorhead punk so far. think I shall pay someone money for a waxy legal version in fact

Wage Theft (great band name & like this crazy spazz punk)

From the man who brought you Lard Mountain.

hahahaha hey JRN! :)

anyone else listened to Body/Head (the new Kim Gordon deal)...it's pretty awesome! really free form noise guitar but yet kinda mellow and meditative

hi, i'm a fuckhead for dodging this thread so far this year. i been listening to metal pretty much, plus other stuff. not much punk. but that impaler album is fucking rad. also love power trip and mastodon grinder, two other chris ulsh bands.

hoax!

and thanks a billion for radkey, first i've heard, loving the dogshit out of this

tried to listen to that body/head thing and couldn't get through it. then a song came up on shuffle a couple weeks later and I dug it so maybe best in small doses? lotsa ppl seem to dig it, then again lotsa ppl like late era sonic youth so idk

Oh Sees/Blink Shake/OBNIIIs was awesome last night. I admire Blind Shake's stylistic consistency.

yeah they've been so good for so long, some of the best live shows i've ever seen

I don't like any of the post-Sonic Youth spinoff albums :( Body/Head seemed like the best bet but I just don't have the patience for that kind of thing anymore.

I saw Body/Head live earlier this year -- it was kinda meandering I just didn't have the patience for that long a set of that kind of thing. Maybe if I liked guitars more?

Really liking Wage Theft and the Curved Dog links posted upthread

Dude from Truman's Water/Soul-Junk has a new garage-rock band called Octagrape that is pretty awesome despite the shitty name: http://octagrape.bandcamp.com/ nice and fuzzy and hooky

yeah this is really good!

dang, "real light" got me on board in like 15 seconds
