rolling punk/non-indie underground 2012

my band was going to play a show with skoal kodiak last year but their drummer threw out his back and they had to cancel their tour. I was bummed.

ooh too band edward, they are quite a force of nature live.

people in mpls are way better drunk driving in snow than that

btw, another bunch of (former) locals Clipd Beaks have a new album out on Bandcamp:

(was recorded around the time of their excellent album To Realize)

if it sounds like the set they played live a week or so back, it's kinda a different sound for them.

yea heard nothing but good things about SK live show

and not to speak ill of them, because i like the records but frankly i would say that they are one of those bands that's not going to ever be totally captured on a record IMO

that's ok I'm sure they'll make more money from playing shows to big crowds than they ever will from record sales

the Slices album is pretty cool
the new Broken Water single is AWESOME

Looking forward to last year's Royal Headache album finally getting a US release.

great band^

happened upon a group on bandcamp called fake limbs. they're from chicago.

also, that slices album is the shit.

i dunno where else to post this but new merchandise

ha i kind of feel like that fake limbs album is designed for me - local dudes, love the band name, album name, album cover, song titles. the songs could be a little better but i like it.

they kinda sound like rye coalition before they went totally led zep

dang they opened for bottomless pit here last week :( wish i had known

chris thomson from the monorchid/skull kontrol/ignition/red-eyed legends has a new band called coffin pricks
http://soundcloud.com/coffin-pricks

ooooh interested

sounds pretty good, maybe a little more straight-ahead than his other bands but i always like to hear him singing. i think he posted on ilx once to correct my spelling of his last name

man i'd like to see bottomless pit again

I love Chris Thomson, but the Red-Eyed Legends sounded kinda lifeless to me when I listened to it, which was not something I would have ever imagined from a CT record. Maybe my memory is harsh. Coffin Pricks sound alright so far ...

yeah i could never get into REL as much as skull kontrol or the monorchid

yeah i saw red-eyed legends too and they didn't do much for me

I think maybe they just weren't good. Whereas Skull Kontrol, The Monorchid, and Circus Lupus were great.

feel like his bands always start out strong and then fade pretty quickly, maybe that's why he's in a new band every couple of years?

Yeah, maybe so. Don't know much about the dude at all, just like the records from those bands. Liked the first Skull Kontrol a lot better than the second though, so perhaps true overall.

I know a bunch of folks who weren't into Red Eyed Legneds much I always liked seeing them and dig the records, though I am admitedly biased.

Heard some of the Coffin Pricks stuff and I really like, though again I'm pretty much a sucker for any CT thing

<3 skull kontrol

That whole record rules. Played the hell out of it when I had a radio show. Plus, it's got Rick Froberg on it!

Man, what does Andy Coronado do now? That guy's playing hits so many sweet spots for me. Was he in the Wrangler Brutes too?

he was

Thought so, thanks (could have looked it up I guess). Gonna go listen to some Coronado.

new band from chicago called Football, one guy used to be in some great bands in mpls

http://soundcloud.com/football-chicago

initially riff reminds me of A Frames but then it gets a bit more garage but it's cool

Football were sort of ridic metal-y when I saw them but I think they have "evolved" since then, natch

haha really weird

I think it was their first non-Super Bowl show and everyone(me)was really drunk so that might have affected my preception of it

had no idea the split cranium (isis, circle, pharoah overlord) record had dropped: http://splitcranium.bandcamp.com/

Speaking of Wrangler Brutes related bands, there's a new band called C.R.A.S.H. that has Dean, from No Age, Michelle from Mika Miko, Cundo, from Nazti Skinz, and Brooks from Wrangler Brutes/Universal Order of Armageddon. REALLY good project. It's interesting to hear people from No Age and Mika Miko play straightforward hardcore.

Re Fake Limbs:

they kinda sound like rye coalition before they went totally led zep

That description alone really makes me want to check them out. Thanks!

ha that's funny because i said the same thing on facebook and one of my friends was making fun of me for using "early rye coalition" as a helpful musical description

so this is old from 2008 but it is awesome

I watched that like 20x in row yesterday

XD

wow, that dishwashers vid is great. 2008? would have loved to have seen them.

I know, right? I was all fired up to book them a pvd show but apparently one of the dudes had a baby and now they're semi-defunct.

haven't listened to it yet but coffin pricks have a live set up for free download/streaming on epitonic: http://epitonic.com/

what do you guys think of the WHITE LOAD LP "WAYNES WORLD II b/w GODFATHER IV"
