Looks like they are reissuing Shallow.

― Brooker Buckingham (Brooker B), Saturday, 1 July 2006 23:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Orderd the "Shallow" LP from the label after hearing the Sub Pop 7" about 2 weeks ago. Still eagerly waiting for it to come in the mail.

I know they played with Flipper last month at Northsix, a show I'm regretting not going to. Have yet to hear that 7" that came out on Sub Pop, any good?

― mcd (mcd), Friday, 13 October 2006 15:16 (seventeen years ago) link

that 7" fucking rules, dude.

good god this band is amazing

― strongohulkington, Thursday, 19 April 2007 20:08 (seventeen years ago) link

some days i really think shallow is the best album i've heard this decade

― strongohulkington, Thursday, 19 April 2007 20:10 (seventeen years ago) link

is the new one out yet?

― M@tt He1ges0n, Thursday, 19 April 2007 23:20 (seventeen years ago) link

Shallow is fckng good. How's about that Clockcleaner album too? Forget the name of it. but,fckng good.

Are they buddies or something?

― Drooone, Thursday, 19 April 2007 23:39 (seventeen years ago) link

has anyone heard the new album? it's fucking fantastic.

i've become enamored.

― circa1916, Sunday, 22 April 2007 00:29 (sixteen years ago) link

Not feeling these guys AT ALL.

If this is a parody of c. 1984 soulsuck punk, it ain't a very funny one. Listening to "The Jogger" is like "BREAKING DISPATCH FROM PUNK ROCK: YUPPIES SUCK"

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 22 April 2007 00:35 (sixteen years ago) link

Hearing dude talk about his digital watch and stuff is like watching True Stories in slo-mo. LOL THE BANALITY OF MODERN EXISTENCE

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 22 April 2007 00:36 (sixteen years ago) link

My evolving (but yet not settled-on) opinion of the new album:

Speaking of neo-pigfuckers, though, the Pissed Jeans singer was pissing me off the other day by convincing me that my kid was watching some lame comedian on youtube in the next room when really the voice was coming out of my own stereo. Sounded very weak. My hopes for the album are plummetting, but I won't give up on it yet. Maybe it'll kick in. So far, Hilary Duff is blowing it out of the water.
-- xhuxk, Saturday, 14 April 2007 17:04 (1 week ago)

PISSED JEANS -- I'm liking the parts where they don't sing (like, what tracks 7 and 10 evolve into) more than the parts where they do sing, which parts inevitably seem to convince me that the singer has a champagne cork up his rectum (whilst rhythm section follows suit.) They're entertaining, though, when they just let the guitars go and get wacky. In other words, they make noise that is not merely noisy, but fun at the same time, not as common a trick as one might think. Songs, I'm not so sure -- Their earlier EP (mini-LP, maxi-EP, whatever the heck it was) convinced me they could write songs, oddly enough, but that one had a cool lyric sheet (I've got in only on vinyl), so maybe that was cheating. Either way, they're maybe one-tenth as good as Flipper used to be. Which is still not bad, as punk bands in 2007 go, I suppose.

Pissed Jeans are going downhill, too. Seriously wondering whether I overrated their first one. What do people think is so great about them again?
-- xhuxk, Saturday, 21 April 2007 01:20 (Yesterday)

― xhuxk, Sunday, 22 April 2007 00:40 (sixteen years ago) link

OTM. Dude is like Stephen Wright without punchlines.

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 22 April 2007 00:42 (sixteen years ago) link

Air Conditioning > Clockcleaner >>> Pissed Jeans

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 22 April 2007 00:43 (sixteen years ago) link

xp (Oh yeah, those were from the rolling metal thread.)

But I disagree with Whiney; the Cockcleaner stuff I've heard has been worse.

― xhuxk, Sunday, 22 April 2007 00:45 (sixteen years ago) link

― xhuxk, Sunday, 22 April 2007 00:46 (sixteen years ago) link

i don't know, can't say i really listen to the stuff for insightful commentary and the vocals are a perfect fit for the music IMO.

i do know that this sounds phenomenal coming out of my speakers right now.

― circa1916, Sunday, 22 April 2007 00:57 (sixteen years ago) link

who even pays attention to lyrics? i'm in fucking love with the guitar.

― GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ, Sunday, 22 April 2007 11:47 (sixteen years ago) link

word.

i like these guys.

for nu-pigfuck though i think STNNNG torches pissed jeans, and are more interesting.

― M@tt He1ges0n, Sunday, 22 April 2007 14:28 (sixteen years ago) link

I can't even understand the lyrics most of the time. I feel old and confused, like when my friend if we could turn the subtitles on when we were watching "8 Mile."

― Ben Boyerrr, Sunday, 22 April 2007 14:57 (sixteen years ago) link

the lyrics are great! what do y'all want, poetry?

― strongohulkington, Sunday, 22 April 2007 15:01 (sixteen years ago) link

I might not mind the lyrics (which I don't have anything against, really) if the vocals were better.

― xhuxk, Sunday, 22 April 2007 15:21 (sixteen years ago) link

And I just mean "better" in the sense of, like, Flipper (who wrote great songs, by the way).

― xhuxk, Sunday, 22 April 2007 15:26 (sixteen years ago) link

a dude who is in this band is great friends with another friend of mine. we were out for drinks (after a horrifying R5 show at the church-- Do Make Say Think Don't Really Sound Good), and he was all "we're playing here, here, here.." when i asked him what band he was in, he said 'Pissed Jeans,' and i was all star-struck for a minute. but he didn't play on the early releases i have, so it faded....

― the table is the table, Sunday, 22 April 2007 15:31 (sixteen years ago) link

i'm certainly not going to argue that pissed jeans are better than friggin' flipper, but that's a bit unfair, chuck.

― strongohulkington, Sunday, 22 April 2007 15:34 (sixteen years ago) link

Okay, well, then, what do you like about the vocals? Because right now, I'm basically convinced they'd be better as instrumental band. And nothing on this thread so far has much suggested otherwise.

― xhuxk, Sunday, 22 April 2007 15:43 (sixteen years ago) link

(Really not trying to get into a Pissing contest, har har. I honestly want to like this band. But the singer just keeps making me press reject.)

― xhuxk, Sunday, 22 April 2007 15:45 (sixteen years ago) link

I guess I could see whiney's criticism as valid for "scrapbooking" or "the jogger" but the lyrics on their more rockin songs are just nirvana-type "I hate myself and I want to die" yada yada and the guitars are SO HUGE

I'm with circa, the vocals fit the music imo ...

― dmr, Sunday, 22 April 2007 15:57 (sixteen years ago) link

Ugh, I forgot about "Scrapbooking." I can't hear all the lyrics, but I think the song is actually about scrapbooking. And, yeah, I would probably go to bat for these guys were they an instrumental band.

Thread on new Air Conditioning anyone? Or, hell, new White Mice!

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 22 April 2007 16:57 (sixteen years ago) link

some white mice chatter here and there:

-- M@tt He1ges0n, Sunday, April 22, 2007 11:58 PM (Yesterday)

TRUE.

i dont like the vocals either and i am not convinced comparing them to flipper makes any kind of sense, but i only heard the one album that was leonardoed. scrapbooking REALLY pissed me off. when he burped at the end of the song i basically wrote them off. what were they trying to do there? be 'noirish' or something? is that like a tom waits/breather track? i mean, it felt like he was trying to be a batman villian. i guess it makes sense in a way, but it was poorly executed.

which songs are like flipper?

― artdamages, Sunday, 22 April 2007 17:55 (sixteen years ago) link

For that matter, which ones are like Killdozer?

Red Swan remind me way more of Killdozer than these guys (and they are still ignored, for some reason.)

― xhuxk, Sunday, 22 April 2007 18:42 (sixteen years ago) link

"shallow" is an lp chuck.

― hstencil, Sunday, 22 April 2007 21:20 (sixteen years ago) link

two weeks pass...

OK the bit in 'The Jogger' where he just goes "FANTASY FOOTBALL" apropos of nothing has to be my favourite thing to happen on a CD in 2007. It's had me giggling all day

― DJ Mencap, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 20:17 (sixteen years ago) link

I just mentioned on the metal thread how much I don't like "Scrapbooking". I think its really awkward and ruins the flow of the album.

― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 20:18 (sixteen years ago) link

3.5 stars from Rolling Stone? Sub Pop what have you done to the jeans???? (Haven't heard the album yet, waiting to pick it up tomorrow)

one month passes...

so these guys are playing in Baltimore this friday at "The Bank". problem is i've never heard of "The Bank" and google's turning up zilch. can any Baltimoreans help me out here?

― circa1916, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 07:11 (sixteen years ago) link

Am I wrong in thinking that these guys are not to be taken seriously, ina Mclusky sort of way? Not as witty, to be sure, but "Scrapbooking" is funnier than anything on that last Art Brut record.

― Simon H., Wednesday, 11 July 2007 14:41 (sixteen years ago) link

I was thinking that "The Bank" was that place on the corner of Eutaw and Baltimore but then I realized that that used to be called "The Vault" and is something else now so it just had me confused. Now I have no idea where "The Bank" is but I feel like I've walked past it at some point. Jess?

I've never heard Pissed Jeans but I was going to try to check out that show for one of the local openers.

Saw them play a lot of these songs live a week or so ago and they sounded excellent. "Junktime" was for sure the highlight but "Moving On' and "Killing All The Wrong People" sounded great too. "(Stolen) Catalytic Converter" is another highlight for me. Great album overall. Reminds me a bit of Hot Snakes more than their others. "Moving On" reminds me of "Plenty for All" a little bit.
