rolling punk/non-indie underground 2015

Going to rep for a couple of friends' things that people on this thread might be interested in:

1. Scrap Brain - their demo tape is properly great.

2. Decolonise Fest - festival for punx of colour, by punx of colour. They have a couple of fundraising gigs coming up and the actual festival will happen next year.

I've been meaning to check out the Scrap Brain demo! I sort of know one of them from going to gigs.

Here is some stuff what I have liked this year:

Pheromoans - I'm on nights
Glitter - Joy of a toy 7"
Sheer Mag - III 7"
Strutter - s/t 7"
VA - La France a Peur! Inedits punk francais 1976-1980!
Chaos UK - Shit man fucker 7"
Gaucho - Desplazados 7"
Lock - The cycle 7"
Blazing Eye - lonely corpse 7"
Framtid - The horrific visions 7"
Lumpy & the Dumpers - Huff my sack
Primetime - Going places 7"
Bad Breeding - s/t
G.L.O.S.S. - Trans day of revenge 7"
Heavy Metal - Anti-music anti-sense anti-you
In School - Cement fucker 7"
Anxiety - s/t
Arms Race - New wave of british hardcore
Paranoid - Punkdemonium hell EP

New or out-soon stuff I like:

Fake Limbs - Matrimony
The Blind Shake - Celebrate Your Worth
The Sueves - Change Your Life

lol @ Fake Limbs' last.fm bio:

Dogfuckers.
Handsome dogfuckers, but dogfuckers nonetheless.

I've been meaning to check out the Scrap Brain demo! I sort of know one of them from going to gigs.

Ha, which one? The singer is a good friend of mine, but I don't know any of the others.

I don't know what he plays in that band, but on their bandcamp pic he's the guy at the back.

Fake Limbs have been on these threads before, they're very Jesus Lizard-y skronk punk. Blind Shake have been around a long time and are garage punk with touches of surf and Devo-y nerd twitchiness. Sueves sound a lot like the Makers, a little like the Peechees - the singer has that classic whiny brat voice.

Band name is hard to search for on ILX but I'm loving Pill a lot. One EP and one album in August - they're noisy and funny and sound amazing turned up to 10 in the car, plus there's a sax.

More post-punk than punk but this Subnormal Girls compilation that came out this year is fucking fantastic, one of the best comps of this kind I've ever heard.

Oh wow, it's got Boys Boys on it!

I was only familiar with the Liggers (from Messthetics - same track included here) and the Petticoats and Morbid Opera (from Killed By Death - different songs) before but I don't think there's a bad song on this comp.

I only made this connection quite recently because I don't usually read sites like the Quietus unless someone links to something from here, and didn't know the ilxor who writes this column's real name (I assume he's too modest to link it here himself? so I won't mention who it is just in case... :)) but this series of articles is highly recommended for punk/non-indie underground fans:

Like, I'm going through some of the columns from this year and it's all good stuff that I've often been finding out about from blogs, this thread, following certain labels/distros (mostly La Vida Es Un Mus tbh) and will definitely be reading this regularly from now on.

nice! quite well-written, too.

it's me

thx both

Ohhhh, that's you? For some reason, despite me reading that column and it featuring a bunch of my friends and actually meeting you at Supernormal, I had failed to make that connection also.

well I don't make a big fuss abt it and a lot of the bands are fairly indifferent to being covered I think, esp in an arena like tQ, but it's an enjoyable thing to do either way

The band I am in is giving away our second record for free because it just turned ten on our bandcamp site

nice

Just downloaded the 2015 demo by Remiso, band from Malmo but could've fooled me they were from early 90s Japan tbh. Great hardcore with a bit of metal (some soloing in some of the songs basically) does not sound like a demo tape.

bad noids

new Career Suicide album is really good

I can't find a more recent thread (RIP search) but so the band I play in, STNNNG, has a new record coming out and you can listen to the first song

https://modernradio.bandcamp.com/track/the-last-nostalgia

RIP Load records

Is there not a 2017 version of this thread?

Anyway, new Thoughts of Ionesco tune: https://corpseflowerrecords.bandcamp.com/album/thoughts-of-ionesco-skar-cymbals

i like what i've heard of this US Weekly album: https://nightmoveslabel.bandcamp.com/

RIP Load records
