Noise rock

[Andrew McIntosh]

Have to concede with Rectal Hygienics, both albums sound strong and sick. A lovely sense of personal despair and self-hatred with some solid sounding riffs.

Raspberry Bulbs tend to shit me, on the other hand. Apart from having an appalling band name, the new album sounds like they want to be Rudimentary Peni. Personally, I'll take the original any time over Raspberry Bulbs. I always thought Bone Awl was over-rated.

Try this. Fucked up, miserable sounding noise/scum rock from down here.

[holy ghost]

Hmm, I bought Nature Tries Again and RB Tries again on tape when they came out, but they didn't really grab me. That's sample posted was pretty cool though, I can definitely dig on the Rudimentary Peni influences.

I'll have to check this out a little more.....

back in the 1990's as a young lad of the northwest I was introduced to such bands as Barkmarket and Chavez by folks I met from the midwest and were told that was noise for them.

I had already gotten into Antioch Arrow, Clikatat Ikatowi, Heroin, Swing Kids, Universal Order of Armageddon (still in my mind an insanely great band),  The VSS, Rye Coalition, etc And those bands changed everything between my relationship to my guitar and sounded amazing, especially for the time period (massive grunge NW)

I still have most of all of those precious records in my collection. To me that was noise early to mid-1990's

Just put Oxbow's 'Let me be a woman' out of my shelves. Haven't listen to it for almost 20 years, I think. Still like it a lot. Especially 'Gal' and '1000' (first song I ever heard from Oxbow). I remember being really impressed when I saw them live back in 1996. Eugene Robinson, dressed only in white pants, destroying the microphone stand, cursing and spitting all over the place.

Oxbow has always been kind of hit and miss for me, every now and then I've tried giving them a new chance, but just don't seem to get into them. It's been a while since I've listened to them, so maybe I should give them one more try.

To plug my own shit here, Throat's new mini-album "Short Circuit" is out now on Kaos Kontrol/Reptilian Records. CD/digital is available already and the vinyl will arrive in about a week:

Looking forward to the vinyl. Throat = bestest!

Oxbow is immense. The Narcotic Story and An Evil Heat are among the most powerful albums I've ever heard.
One of those rare bands where there's no one member who's just treading water and keeping up with the others, everyone involved gives it their all.

US Maple's another favorite. The album Talker in particular is a major achievement, stuck somewhere between Beefheart and The Jesus Lizard.

Shorty, the band that preceded US Maple, is also pretty great although a lot closer to the standard hardcore-derived AmRep/Touch & Go sound.

HEBOSAGIL this is really good!

HEBOSAGIL this is really good!

Hell yes! They have a new album coming this autumn, not necessarily as "rocking" stuff as the last two records, but still heavy and ominous sound. Spent the first week of June listening to the new stuff live every night, excellent stuff.

U.S. Maple and especially Shorty gets the thumbs up from me!

Shorty gets the thumbs up from me!

Absolutely.  Shorty were superb.  As were Big'N.

I'm a big fan of No Trend. Like Drunkdriver, straddling the fence between noise and hc. The vocals are pure hate.

Just released the debut tape of a new Finnish band, Sleiveen Hostess. Might appeal to people into the filthier side of noise rock: Brainbombs, Drunkdriver, Rectal Hygienics etc...

Always liked Unsane since I first heard "Urge to kill" in the early nineties and followed their releases- sometimes with more, sometimes with less attention.

In a couple days I will see them live for the first time. What to expect? Anyone already heard the new album "Sterilize"?

[absurdexposition]

Intensive Care from Toronto (ex-Column of Heaven, The Endless Blockade, Ride At Dawn, etc). First tape is basically power electronics done as a noise rock band.

The other releases are on this Bandcamp as well.
