rolling punk/non-indie underground 2012

would see

dunecore

Yeah, badass look right there. I imagine a post-punky Mummies kinda thing.

In re dunecore, see also Weirding Module.

The band, Dunes, is awesome. I think they may be a little poppy for this thread, but theyre pretty good

these are incredible!

best new (relatively) hardcore I've heard in a minute - LONG PIGS from Brooklyn who are just complete OTT chaos on their 7" - there is a lot of that kind of thing right now I suppose but they do it really powerfully

mutators!!!

I saw them the other night with Surgeons, Nasa Space Universe, Crazy Band, Forever Baby, BRANES, The Garden, The Coltranes, and Meow Twins. Everyone but Crazy Band and Meow Twins fucking ANNIHILATED the evening. Meow Twins were good, but not as apeshit crazy as everyone else. Man, that show was a test of endurance.

Such a great set.

has anyone heard the new fnu ronnies lp yet?

only heard the one track

http://soundcloud.com/load-records/fnu-ronnies-saddle-up

omg albini recorded screaming females??

Yep, "Ugly" out April 3.

i did got to ed schader's music beat they were pretty pummeling! (but kinda poppy at the same time!)

yeah they are weirdly equal parts noize abrasion and hummable accessibility, almost like some 80s LA new wave theater type band with the theatrical starkness and artpop

yow, psyched for new FNU ronnies & screaming females. can't watch the ESMB clip here, but will check it out when i get home. feeling super out of the new music loop here in tacoma. boo.

Anyone in the Bay Area should check out this new noise fest that's coming up called The Dissonance Party. The lineup is rad so far. Should be a great time!

confirmed acts so far:

Riververb (San Diego)
Pulsating Cyst (LA)
Kawaiietly Please (Santa Cruz)
Shortwave Surfers (Oak)
Darph/nadeR (Santa Rosa)
Das Blut (SF)
Nuclear Death Wish (Oak)
Xome (Sac)
Medicine Cabinet (Tracy)
Toe Ring (ex members of Chrome Genie) (New York)
Moe Staiano (Oak)
Lektricman (Oak)
Rubber Cement (SF)
Torn By Teeth (Inland Empire)
Liver Cancer (Sac)

this thread is funny because the tectonic plates of indie are shifting is this shit is becoming one of the major landmasses of indie

i dont think that's anymore true now than in like, 2007 or 2008

lol @ ex members of Chrome Genie -- that's like one guy

game changer

yeah when I see child abuse or nu sensae or tinsel teeth on the front page of pitchfork I'll start to believe this

if you'd actually deny good, hardworkings bands the chance to reach bigger audiences, sell more tickets & albums just because yr like "ooh indie rock has cooties" that's profoundly stupid.

but i guess i dunno i'm from the 90s when bands like Cows or Jesus Lizard could sell out big clubs and shit so

it would be awesome if those bands got more attention! I'm saying it's not likely to happen.

but I guess I dunno I'm from the 80s when you couldn't say the words "butthole surfers" on mtv

not from the 2010s, when you can't print "pissed jeans" in the new york times

I mean, I know of a prominent noise rock label that was told last year they couldn't do a SXSW showcase because that type of music "didn't have a place here", and this was after years and years of hosting successful showcases

so it's not just some too cool for school fuck indie attitude on my part, from what I can see the engines that drive the indie media machine are just not that into pushing these types of bands

ok i agree w/that, ultimately i just don't think this type of stuff appeals to the hongro in ppl

Man, that's strange. They let small-stakes dudes from my town set up showcases, seemed like they let anyone who wanted to do it (and could find a venue) set up a showcase.

i think caulk meant like iceage, the men, total control, cloud nothings, and not the kind of bands you mentioned edward

i really want to like the Men more than i do, same w/cloud nothings

I still wouldn't call iceage, the men et al "major landmasses of indie"

boots on the ground perspective: 3 of the 4 bands you mentioned played PVD in the past 6 months and those shows weren't even in legit spots, while major indie acts are booking at the 1000 capacity clubs

yeah, assume caulk is/was referring not to the tiny little noise bands izzy mentioned, but to the kind of stuff generally discussed in this thread (pissed jeans, for instance). and i agree that it's one of the major landmasses in indie. but i disagree that this is the result of any recent "becoming". indie rock and noisy punk shit have been closely related since the 80s, since indie came into being. that relationship waxes and wanes, comes in and out of focus, but it's never ceased to exist.

yeah - like wasn't Jesus Lizard and that Albini stuff a major part of what constituted indie when that term first started being used?

british ppl have established that indie rock started with the release of oasis's "definitely maybe" iirc

i also disagree that it is a major indie landfill or that it's only now becoming so. like to me this thread isn't about a certain aesthetic that is or isn't absorbed by indie but the shitty bands i like that probably won't ever be

yeah, but you like iceage, the men, ty segall, circle pit, sic alps, labels like ss, etc. lot of that stuff exists at the intersection of punk & indie (in my mind, anyway), which makes the thread title kind of funny.
