Rudimentary Peni VS Flux of Pink Indians

actually I need that one too.

holy shit

tt has introduced me to rudimentary peni. death church was really good but CACOPHONY oh my giddy fuck

Peni is the best band of all time.

this album/band is just...i can't even

incredible

carnivores are like tombstones

It's too bad Nate C doesn't hang out anymore-- he wrote an entire in depth treatment on cacophony which he submitted to 33 1/3 one year

Never got published?

Peni is one of those bands from the first Sublime album that I kept meaning to check out but never did.

Xpost not by 33 1/3 but maybe he placed it elsewhere

imago I am very glad you are getting yr head ripped open by this masterpiece

keen to see what you make of the RP album about the imaginary pope

it's great and the songs are intense as hell, it would be improved slightly by curbing that fucking papus adrianus thing, but i guess you can't fuck with the artist's vision idk

aaaaactually it's just as good as cacophony p much, which makes it one of the best things ever

I HATED that record, I guess I will try again

it ain't no Cacophony, though, chill dude :)

it's beautiful, furious, quite quite mad but also perfect for midsummer

quite apart from anything else the instrumentation is monumental, possibly his best riffs ever underpinned by a seriously and understandably pissed-off rhythm section. and like all the best heatstrokes all the songs linger on and on until you're entranced & damaged beyond repair

....and now I'm listening to The Fucking Cunts Treat Us Like Pricks

fuck me it's AWESOME

'The Falklands War' is...monumental

Pope Adrian 37th Psychristiatric is firmly ensconced as my summer solstice album :)

Peni is one of those bands from the first Sublime album that I kept meaning to check out but never did.

lol tbh I'm not really sure if I've ever heard a song by Sublime, but I gather they are somewhat different to Rudimentary Peni

this thread reminded me of the sad fact I missed seeing my friends' Rudi Peni cover band last year because I was sick and depressed.

POGO POPE, POGO POPE, POGO POPE, POGO POPE
POGO POPE, POGO POPE, POGO POPE, POGO POPE
POGO POPE POGO, POGO POPE POGO
POGO POPE POGO, POGO POPE POGO

I don't think I'm ever going to "get" that record, I still find it unlistenable :(

love all the rest of course

WHEN YOU'RE IN A MARTIAN CHURCH

I won the Flux of Pink Indians’ 'Strive to Survive Causing the Least Suffering Possible' album in a KUSF radio contest in the mid 80s. I had no idea who they were at the time. It was one of those records I ended up loving more because I had to stretch to grasp it. The LP itself is a beautiful object

I wish Death Church would get a repress, I missed out on the last one.

The paperback version on amazon might be a bit different. Newsletter said something about a new paperback version but I can't remember.

New ep and reissues on the way from Sealed Records!
https://www.punknews.org/article/74088/sealed-records-to-re-issue-rudimentary-peni-discography

awesome

Sealed records is a side-label of La Vida Es Un Mus, this is really good news because Paco the guy who runs that label is a total lifer and this isn't a reissue for money he really loves this stuff

Excellent news! Southern records reissues seemed a bit dubious quality-wise.

Southern were a pretty shitty label for a lot of reasons towards the end.

I wonder if this means the Alternative LP on Corpus Christi might end up getting reissued at some point, Sealed have already put out a reissue of the Omega Tribe LP. I know Overground records were planning to reissue Alternative but Southern wanted too much money to license it.

love all those pics of the OG Ampex tapes in that Insta

It would be super cool if they reissued the first 2 EPs in original 7" packaging

awesome news! I'm hoping they reissue Archaic 10", I missed that one.

So is this yet another mastering to compare?

yes but I have a lot more faith in this one tbh

missed getting the last batch. so hopefully catch up with these.
& the Crass titles are reappearing in more comprehensive fashion too.

Rudimentary Peni has a new album 'Great War' out today (and on streaming services)! Quick listen tells me it's a bit more varied than the last few releases and the singer uses his voice a lot more. Apparently this was recorded several years ago but shelved until now.

wait WHAT

it's another EP tbf!

Just read that someone is wearing a Rudimentary Peni t-shirt in Oscars nominated movie Sound of Metal

The rule with RP is: if it's an EP it'll be decent hardcore, if it's an LP it'll be earthshattering brilliance

xp that is correct, a Cacophony shirt, he also wears Youth Of Today and Neubauten shirts, total hipster bait and a pretty good movie

reissues of old stuff are coming this year too starting with Death Church!

WHEN YOU ARE A MARTIAN CHURCH

listening to a bit of the new one atm. some excellent guitar tones

I'm into it. just bought a copy from LVEUM

Yeah, I just assumed this had to do with Sound of Metal.

I've never heard them.

Peni is great
