Roll over Zeni Geva: TWIN STUMPS

[ONE]

ZG rolled over some year ago, alas, and have become a poor pastiche of who they once were.  Out is Eito and his ferocious drumming to be replaced by the chap who drummed or still drums for Ruins (technically excellent, but the limp-wrested jazz sensibility simply doesn't work: he won't or cannot hit the drums hard enough and there is no sense at all that he is driving the sound - a shameful position for a drummer to adopt).  Gone is Tabata, and his curious, if not impenetrable, seering solo's.  Null being the only constant member left and the only guitar in the outfit.

I could've cried (when after 25 years of trying) I finally saw them live ...

Anyone have a 'definitive' Brainbombs record? By that I mean one that encapsulates their sound well and ideally has no filler. Haven't really traversed their discography but been listening to the Singles Collection and I like it very much.

Their first album (Burning Hell) has the darkest riffs and I believe a lot of their best tracks (Burning Hell, Danny Was a Street Whore, Urge to kills and Tired and Bloody)
On each of their albums they have very different distortion on the guitars and here they are the least 'noise rock' which I quite like in context.
Certainly my favourite album of theirs I don't know if it is their definitive though, I think with the variety in sound all you can really say is it's their darkest.

the second LP Genius and Burtality, Taste and Power is imho the best album the band did. heavy vibes of a more demented stooges slow jam. highlight tracks for me are graveyard kitchen, right side of hell & fuckmurder

"Obey" and "Fucking Mess" are the ones I return to the most..

both singles collections are essential, imo.

i'd say their best material is obey overall, but other than that you can't go wrong with burning hell/genius and brutality - taste and power/urge to kill/fucking mess/singles collection. it's hard to pick an overall definitive album because each album has its own identity

Thanks everyone!

I keep coming back to the most recent output by Sister Iodine, "Venom"

Whoa! This one was really great, actually. I'd say it has lots of surf rock in there as well as the no wave / post-punk influences. I particularly love the bass, and the production is perfectly fit. I'd say this might be my favourite 2018 release this far, ha! Is there a physical release? Is this your first? What is your contribution? So many questions.

New album by Bummer is out. My favorite currently active noise rock band (along with Throat and Drunk Dad) at the moment. https://bummerkc.bandcamp.com/album/holy-terror

Thank you for your kind words! There's no physical release of the demo and it is indeed our first. We have studio booked in November for recording an EP that will be released in physical format.

Will try to remember to have a look out for it at the end of the year then. Sweet!
I wish you good luck with everything

along with Throat

New THROAT album is very good!
I have yet to get the CD/LP, but been listening it online for few times, and band has taken into new realms of innovations. I think more of oddity, more noise, more abstraction, more experimental edge to it. Yet, hard hitting noise rock nevertheless!

I like how experimental elements like metal junk bashing and strange effects blend into songs that border nearly "pop" ballad approach. Throat goes easily from Swans type of bounding brutality to more rocking material, to melancholic tunes. Certainly recommended! Also for those who may not always check noiserock albums:
