Lol sorry about my dick comment. I unwittingly absorbed ILM's stigma against usage of "rocks" a long while back and look where it got me.

Haven't heard much 2022 music yet, but the new Garcia Peoples definitely rocks at times. It also vibes and boogies and other similar actions.

On 1st listen, I'm actually liking the 3rd Secret song, featuring Krist Novoselic, Matt Cameron, Kim Thayil, and Bubba Dupree with two female vocalists (Jillian Raye and Jennifer Johnson). A bit Heron Oblivion.

the 90s-ness of Milly and Momma is really something to behold. i was familiar with tony molina so his 90s-ness is less striking.
― mizzell, Wednesday, 15 June 2022 14:11 (two years ago) link
Perhaps more specifically Chicago 1994.
I might be wrong but I believe a member from each of those bands (Momma and Milly) plays on this:https://larry187.bandcamp.com/album/ep-3

― na (NA), Thursday, 4 August 2022 16:16 (two years ago) link
i like how embarrassingly direct and emotional a lot of the lyrics are, it comes across as distasteful when most music is too tasteful, though this seems to be the sticking point for a lot of listeners (specifically the song "why")

I love it, too, and for me “Why” is the stand out track. I love how direct the lyrics are. The words are so perfectly chosen and delivered.
― beard papa, Thursday, 4 August 2022 21:08 (two years ago) link
Still waiting for my copy to get here, just got caught up with the comp of their two EPs. It's set my expectations for the full-length very high, "Rainbow Meat" is like the platonic ideal of my favorite kind of noise rock song, completely unhinged and off-putting but also deeply hilarious.
― a superficial sheeb of intelligence (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 4 August 2022 21:10 (two years ago) link
Somewhere between Scratch Acid, Pissed Jeans and S/T era Daughters is where Chat Pile sits for me. They do simple but powerful so well. “Why” is just the latest example but “Crawlspace” hit me in a similar way. Really great band.

Thanks for the tip on Momma slightly upthread. That nails a certain 90s vibe better than just about anything I've heard. Love the newest album.
― doomposting is the new composting (PBKR), Monday, 8 August 2022 12:09 (two years ago) link
Yeah, that Momma track is truly uncanny in how anachronistic it feels. Though the production is maybe a bit more 2020s hi-fi. Also one hell of an earworm, been stuck in my head for days.
― feed me with your chips (zchyrs), Thursday, 11 August 2022 17:02 (two years ago) link
grimace_smoking_weed.jpeg is fantastic but really haunting. also, good call on the Killdozer/vig production comparison. Still a bit surprised they have been getting so much more love than say the Bummer album from last year or pretty much every Pissed Jeans record, but I'm glad. Might also be timing, people being ground down, wanting some authentic noise and angry punk

Not from 2022 but new to me - I've really been digging this Japanese group the Cabs, like very tight 90s-informed math rock with both pretty melodic singing and screaming over it; distinctive melodies.

Yeah Heavy Psych puts out some decent stuff, but I reallllllly wish they'd get some good US distribution. Forced Exposure puts out some of their stuff, but not all, and often way after it comes out officially. Their shipping costs are pretty high ($10 for a $14 CD) and when they do show up in a shop, they are frequently priced nearly at old import level prices.
