Noisecore

[Zeno Marx]

Andy Mortville's instagram got me in the mood for Billy Nocera and Steveggs noisecore skits.  It's funny how much Nocera hated the metal scene, yet double and tripled down on it.  After a couple Traci Lords Loves Noise tapes, I had to switch over to the CNP crowd and Rectal Pus.

Especially Pile of Eggs was very unique. I am not usually big fan of utmost fun noisecore, but POE was always funny and also quite unexpected listening. Usually C-90 tapes filled from start to finish with almost whatever. From insane rollercoaster rides that resembled almost like Masonna idea of invading karaoke to scream. In case of POE, steveggs would go to rollercoaster with walkman, and scream his lungs out during the ride. And next thing after such track could be some improvised shit-metal, erupting into noisecore.

I would assume there is AT LEAST 25 hours of published POE material? Complete tape box would be suitably ridiculous for the nature of project.

Nut Screamer was Steveggs's roller coaster project. Fun stuff. I also like some other bands he has been involved with like Minch and Schnauzer.

The Stupidity Records "roster" contained lots of interesting releases, mostly total shit and/or total retardation, sometimes brilliant. I need to dig out my tapes and revisit more than just Nut Screamer and Traci Lords Loves Noise.

I'd love to see a documentary on Nocera and/or Steveggs.  I think Eyehategod has one that is maybe fifteen minutes.  Something by one of those ambitious youtubers, interviewing friends and people who have a history of working and trading with them.  The kind of creative characters and presence in their little niche in the underground that deserve to be documented.

Any lengthy interviews with either of these fellas that anyone can recommend?  I couldn't find much.

I have really been wanting to learn more about noisecore (especially suggestions on how to play it!), and have liked some of the random bands that I have come across.  I especially liked Aunt Mary.  Any suggestions on where to start?

Your noisecore will sound the best if you start from nowhere and make it yours from the start. There's no rule in noisecore

Oh yes! My mistake! Nut Screamer, great.

Completely agree - don't emulate, there are no rules. Putting your own unique spin on things is crucial. No one wants another clone. Imagine what you'd want to hear and do it.

The second this thread gets bumped FOAD announce the SOUND POLLUTION discography. This is a band that definitely needs an archival release!

Thanks for the advice.  I guess that noisecore is a lot more open-ended than I had initially thought.  I will have to try out some stuff with a totally open mind.

In other news, I just started listening to some of the Nihilist Commando demos on youtube, and it's some of the best music that I have heard in a long time (and by far the best noisecore that I have come across thus far).

OK, for instance, here's some of my favourite noisecore that shows that creativity leads to good things.

Damn, Mental Hygiene Terrorist Orchestra we're not on my radar! Many thanks for sharing that. Just ordered their 10" from bandcamp, that sounds absolutely off the hook. Would love to find that 7" split with Adolf Shitter too, I love those releases.

The samples on the Vulgar Nausea were a really cool idea, and their songs flowed together really nicely.  I liked the heavy guitar tones too.  Thanks for sharing.

The Mental Hygiene Terrorist Orchestra reminds me of the music of a Brazilian (I think) musician that I had unsuccessfully planned to collaborate with.  He did some similar stuff with a saxaphone, but added some clean vocals and longer pieces.

You're welcome.

I think the VN recording is one of those particular instances where the recording and ideas just feel right, it all works. With a different sounds or different settings or means of recording it could have sucked (like a lot of noisecore to my ears) but on this particular occasion it is amazing.

It would have been really easy to let the samples come across as either really campy or totally random/disorienting.  It was quite an accomplishment for them to pull them off as they did.
