Punk/Hardcore

[absurdexposition]

Been anticipating that one. Will wait for the physical before giving a listen.

[Decrepitude]

Found this to be a real fun listen.  LP version is coming soon.

https://theundesirable.bandcamp.com/album/holy-money-the-language-machine-undesirable-013

Holy Money's The Language Machine is a sonically and conceptually heavy monolith that defies the "sludge" and "stoner" monikers lazily attached to most slow, metallic bands. Realistically, Holy Money play death metal , but with rhythmic and hypnotic songwriting that borders on psychedelia instead of violence, gore, or aggression. To be sure, this album is brutal – but more like a J.G. Ballard novel than a Bolt Thrower record.

Strongly recommended for enthusiasts of Corrupted, Bastard Noise, and DMT.

I love Holy Money so will check this out. Thanks!

First song from a fast hardcore/powerviolence band I play in called Circling The Drain is featured on this label mixtape, tape demo will be available later this year. https://judaschaircollective.bandcamp.com/album/mixtape-mmxvii

Saw Acrylics a month ish ago in a sweatbox basement and loved them, one of the few new hardcore bands i've actively been interested in following

Una Bèstia Incontrolable - Metamorfosi had me thinking of Die Kreuzen - October File in flow, Contropotere in energy and tribal progression, and some surf riffing. I'd normally want something longer because I'm enjoying it so much, but I think 21 minutes might be plenty. I wonder how much influence the rich, prolific tradition of progressive rock in Italy and Spain plays into something like this coming out of Spain.  Everyone in this band is good, but the bass player is one of the better ones I've heard in a while.

found this cool video of UBI playing some of these new songs:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxfw8DLG8K8

As far as I know, there wasn't much of a progressive rock scene in Spain in the '70s because they had Franco as the dictator until 1975. I have heard about some, but not much. Later on there was an alternative/punk/underground scene with bands like Esplendor Geometrico, HHH, and Toreros After Olé, of course.

On the other hand, Italy and the neighbouring country to Spain, France, had a lot of great bands and artists...

Thanks.  It never occurred to me to check into the political landscape.  From various discussions, I had the impression that the late-70s was a fruitful time for prog in Spain, but I didn't know why it was limited to the latter part of the decade.  Atila - Reviure 1978 is the first to come to mind.

Was taking to someone else where on here (where else?) about these two so I figured flag them up here too.

Wayne Kramer has been uploading early MC5 footage to YouTube, the Tartar Field footage and DNC Riots stuff is amazing.

Of course this reminds me how much I want to see the Stooges doc when I start seeing stuff like this.

RIP Gas Chamber.

Single greatest band on earth.

Crisis interview with Tony Wakeford:

[Euro Trash Bazooka]

Up until 1975 (when he died), Spain was under Franco's dictatorship and he was a narrow-minded and nationalistic individual who believed in social casts and got famous through his military career. After his death, art creation exploded in Spain. There's even a name for that, la Movida.

I wouldn't lump EG, TAO and HHH in the same bag. I'm not sure EG had the same mindset regarding the government at the time as HHH and TOA either. Based on their lyrics, I'd say HHH are much more involved in politics than TOA. Also, if I remember well, TOA came from Madrid (like EG) and HHH from Catalunya, which, like the Southern Basque Country suffered a much harsher fate during Franco's dictatorship as they were forbidden from living according to Catalan culture (they'd go to jail or worse for speaking Catalan, etc... Which is also what happened in the Basque Country.) I know for a fact it had a very strong influence on the growth of the punk scene in the Southern Basque Country (no reason why Eskorbuto got so big.) I'm less familiar with the scene in Catalunya, although I know and love the classic bands from there such as Grb, Subterranean Kids, Kangrena, etc...

And I can't stand UBI, although I really enjoy a bunch of the bands these guys come from. I think the Tokyo Sound System bands have been doing the same kind of psychedelic experiments with punk a loooong time ago already. I also think the current Barcelona punk scene is overstaying its welcome (I love Ultra though.)

I guess I was just mentioning some random names from that time. I can see that EG weren't a political band, but they weren't very conformist either. The punk bands were obviously very political and anti-.

Picked this up today. Haven't had a chance to spin the full LP yet but the bandcamp tracks sounds GREAT.
