Keep forgetting for ages we recorded this back in the day. https://cementimental.bandcamp.com/album/transpose-jam-20th-june-2003

We probably should have continued this into an actual band. Or genre for that matter. Kuso-prog?

Drunks With Guns.

They appear to have popped up again in 2018, wonder if there's more to come in regards to shows or new music?

Surprised to see no mention of Uniform (ex-Drunkdriver) from NYC or Daughters (I like their latest album a lot). The latter was ex-members of As the Sun Sets and played that screamo/grind stuff from the late 90's and early 2000's. They came back after being away for nine years and dropped a great album called "You Won't Get What You Want" on Ipecac. It's meant to be listened to in its entirety. Check it out here:

As someone who worships the Drunkdrive S/T LP I can't explain why I haven't taken the dive with Uniform but I keep ignoring them. I think part of it may be I just assume I'll be unable to avoid comparing them to Drunkdriver and be disappointed as a result. And also it might be that they're on Sacred Bones which I have mixed feelings about as a label.

I feel like Uniform tick all the boxes "on paper" and I should be picking up their albums and then I stream a little and I'm just not interested.

Spencer from Full of Hell is in a noise rock band called Eye Flys and that seems to be something that I'm pretty into from what I've heard

Everyone loves the last Daughters album but I thought it's kinda ok-not-great-good-job-feels-safe .

Sign me up on the "Uniform tick all the boxes but I just can't seen to enjoy it".

And you are crazy, The Body is awesome, the vocals are fantastic.

i have several, and i like them all, but i groan every time i purchase a record on sacred bones.

What's so bad about Sacred Bones? They did that killer Vex reissue, those sick Killed by Deathrock comps, Pharmakon, John Carpenter LPs.... I think there's probably a lot on there I have no interest in though but I like some of their stuff.....

their visual aesthetic, specifically putting release and label info all over the goddamn cover drives me nuts. the rest of it is just a feeling that some Brooklyn hipster is selling me on perfectly marketed swill to appeal to my "terminally unique" tastes.... except it's not swill and they put out a lot of good records. it just feels wrong each time. probably just envy, elitism and insecurity all wrapped into some tiny whispering voice in my head. does that make any sense?

Oh totally. That makes sense. My only caveat for stuff like that is is the guys like, a rapist or something like that....

Trying to think back on what my first exposure to 'noise rock' bands & I'm guessing it was Big Black. Their work still holds up pretty damn good today. Lovely subject matter, as well.

Also, Butthole Surfers as they were pretty noisy live with the two drummers, lots of droning feedback and effects on the vocals. Way more fucked up than the fucked up records.

Kilslug, too, but they're more sludge n' shit.

I guess they were my first exposure, too. The Pig Pile CD just blew me away back then. Was a bit too young to know their records from the 80's, but after listening to Pig Pile I tried to get them all. Only some weeks ago I bought most of them on vinyl again.
And after Big Black or at the same time I think I discovered Unsane (The Singles 89-92 CD), and then various AmRep records like the Dope-Guns-'N-Fucking In The Streets CD compilations with nice bands like Today is the Day or Love 666. Still like them all.
