Hardcore (Void, Minor threat, SSD, DKs...)

Early US punk (Voidoids, Television, Pere Ubu, Talking heads..)

Emo/post hardcore (Moss Icon, Native Nod, Fugazi...)

Post Punk (Devo, Essential Logic, Wire, Throbbing Gristle..)

Anarcho (Crass, Rudi Peni, Flux of Pink Indians, Antisect...)

Shoegaze/"slowcore"/noise pop (Pale Saints, Red House Painters, Swervedriver, Slowdive)

Noise/Math Rock (Slint, Polvo, US Maple, Shellac...)



lets chat!

I like some punk, but im more into Ska Punk.

Operation Ivy, Mad Caddies, capdown, sonic boom six, Spunge

Couldnt handle the song legnth for Minor Threat, not to mention i didnt really like what they stood for.

dead kennedys gotta be my fav punk band of all time, back when punk was the goods

Yes to post-punk (even veerring into new romantic stuff on occasion)

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


And everyone should be down with Slint and Shellac

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.

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!

Slits are fucking tremendous.

For sure!
Some of my favorite bands include;
...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead (so fucking good!)
Gorilla Biscuits, Fugazi, Minor Threat, Early Black Flag, Japanther, Boris,

But the stuff that really caught me was Post Rock, Math rock etc.

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.

This shit is the goods. I'm into this more than dubstep, it's just not as much fun.

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.

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!

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.

NEGATIVE APPROACH!!

also Black Flag, Flipper, Le shok, The Misfits, Bad Brains, Cap'n Jazz, Black Eyes, + newer school: Trencher, Mika miko, Gallows, Liars, Lovvers...etc etc

yes yesss good thread

MOSS ICON huh? Good mention.

Yeah, been listening to lots of different sounds/eras with peeps @ work in the past months, playing old stuff to younger peeps who've never heard some greats, and being turned on to newer bands like Gallows, The National, etc. Even got me to go dig up shit i hadn't listened to in like forever.

Jesu
Mastadon
Universal Order of Armageddon
CIRCUS LUPUS - arguably, if i could list a "fave band"
The EX
Breads and Circuits
lots of Killing Joke
Jr. Ewing
Tiger Army
Shotmaker
Palatka
Red Light Sting
Nation of Ulysses / The Make-Up / Cupid Car Club
A Minor Forest
Desaparecidos
PlanesMistakenforStars
Los Crudos
xLimpWristx
Propaghandi
I Spy
Bob Tilton
Pailhead
Rodan.. remember them? Pre-June of 44
Bastard Noise
Le Savy Fav - prefer the earlier joints
The National - great band
Storm and Stress
the great CODEINE
Garden Variety

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.
Oh, if your interested PM me cause I’ve got some pretty nice GYBE bootlegs of unreleased material.

Aye, Im not really arsed about genre titles, as long as people know what Im getting at.

Yea my mate who's in a (proper) emo band have a song called 'Bed' which is partly like a tribute of sorts. I think I remeber him palying me some Bedhead once. Ill ask him to burn me something off like, hes always gettin me into stuff Ive never heard of, Saetia, Envy, Pissed Jeans etc

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.

Fly Pan Am - L'espace au sol.... etc Remember demo'ing this in a record store on headphones and just totaly forgeting where I was for a good 10 minuets.

fuck it I'm breaking out the guitar tomorrow, heh.

apparently the new fridge album is pretty nice, might have to give it a go.

Have you heard Triosk?

slint were and are the best band of the post rock variety
