Minor Threat didnt stand for anything other than being pissed off disilusioned yet clever. the straight edge thing, ignore it, thats a song not the band, its been ruined by idiots.Thomas wrote:I like some punk, but im more into Ska Punk.
Operation Ivy, Mad Caddies, capdown, sonic boom six, Spunge

Yes to Slowcore. Add Low to that list, even newer Jesu, the silver EP espescially.

My favorite music of all time was made by Godspeed You Black Emperor! But I also really dig bands like A Silver Mount Zion, Slint, Mogwai, Explosions in the sky, Do Make Say Think, Tortoise.
I'm in the same situation. Although I hope I'm wrong I think the whole Post rock thing has past its prime a while ago, I find the majority of records that blow my mind where created 5+ years ago. I dream of Hearing something as earth shattering as the first time I heard Godspeed.fliPPo wrote:This shit is the goods.

oh man, I remember throwing on Slow Riot for the first time and just sitting through the whole thing gobsmacked. I was into 90% metal at the time, so it was a big deal. And then when lift yr. skinny fists came out, fuck. First time I listened to that was walking through the bush and up and down an old abandoned quarry at night on the diskman, an experience!Mohan wrote:I'm in the same situation.

As pretentious as it sounds (but then many things about this type of music can be viewed as pretentious) this kind of stuff can be almost like a drug, used to supplement and alter an experience. I remember walking through a very high end shopping mall in Seattle Listening to BBF3 surrounded by all these yuppies preoccupied with their next Channel purchase, and it being such a perfect moment. Also walking around the grimy parts of Vancouver (where East hasting gets its title) In the rain listening to F## A## OO.fliPPo wrote:oh man, I remember throwing on Slow Riot for the first time and just sitting through the whole thing gobsmacked.

Godspeed did kinda drindle a little bit after that. Admitedly I haven't really been following the scene to strongly last couple of years, just been hanging onto the older stuff. Still get everything do make say think release though.
Aye, Im not really arsed about genre titles, as long as people know what Im getting at.Joe C wrote:Virus human race wrote:Yes to post-punk (even veerring into new romantic stuff on occasion)

Slowcore is the dumbest name ever, but it means a certain sound, and that sound is good. You ever heard Bedhead? very minimal picky guitars similar to shoegaze stuff but without any production!
yes I am very interested! totaly right about it being like a drug. I recon when I was listening to a hell of alot of this kinda stuff I was a little nuttier than usual, to be perfectly honest. Rides this amazing balance between extreme menalcholy and uplifting, peaceful and anxious.Mohan wrote:As pretentious as it sounds (but then many things about this type of music can be viewed as pretentious) this kind of stuff can be almost like a drug, used to supplement and alter an experience.
