i know enough people to count on one hand who share my love for bands with this sound.

i am quite partial to the locust, i have just about all of their annoyingly-small releases (mini cd's, 5" lps)

anyone ever listened to these or similar bands?

No, I haven't, but I am intrigued now. Hook us up with a sample or clip?! ?

I'm a Fantomas whore. Well, more a whore for most anything Patton is involved with.

The Locust seems a little weird-for-weird's-sake but I only listened to two tunes posted on YouTube.

I tend to like this sort of stuff when it has one foot in convention - like 'Director's Cut' or Venetian Snares' "Rossz Csillag Allat Szuletett".

Not heard the daughters. Don't really see much of a connection between the Locust and Fantomas but I like them both. Locust tracks that I remember liking are "practiced hatred" and "anything jesus does I can do better".

no kidding? no connection at all? i find them to be in the same family for sure. the songs are very fast and short, feature screaming, lightning fast guitars, incredibly fast tempo changes and stop/starts. i was just listing a few bands i felt were in a similar category (no idea what to call it) of experimental glitchy thrash.

Haven't really kept tabs on Patton's work since the self-titled Mr Bungle album - the quite twisted subject matter and those crazy cartoon style interludes made it really disorientating to take in - but that's the sort of stuff I like, so can't complain. Will have to check these out though, sounds quite intriguing.

now that i think of it, the daughters rival the locust for me, after seeing them live.

incidently, if you like patton, he did an album with this great band called The Dillinger Escape Plan and on it they cover "Come to Daddy" by Aphex Twin. It's incredible.

unfortunately, the only decent clip i could find was on youtube, and its not the best, but you get the gist anyway

They seem pretty different to me. Fantomas is more metal, the Locust is hardcore. A lot of Fantomas stuff isn't short thirty second tracks as well, like the album of movie covers they made. You might like dillinger escape plan if you like this stuff, they're kinda math metal type thing, they did an EP with Mike Patton and their early stuff is legendary, although their newest stuff is a bit dud.

LOL, read above post im really into dillinger. you dont like miss machine then?

i agree with the metal/hardcore difference. i suppose it is the "math metal" thing as you mentioned that i find similar. like i said, i place them in the same family only. a fantomas show with locust opening up would rock my socks

Heh, how did I miss that? I like Miss Machine ok. But I think Under the Running Board and Calculating Infinity completely wipe the floor with it. I liked the Patton Ep too, especially the third track, but I'm not too keen on the Come to Daddy cover.

'When Good Dogs Do Bad Things' is my favorite rock n' roll song since....well, 'Caffeine' by Faith No More.

http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=dokusaru My YouTube favorites are chock fucking full of Patton/Fatomas/Bungle movies.

Calculating Infinity is officially one of my favorite albums in the territory of extreme rock'n'roll. It was so ahead of its time when it came out and I find it still fresh nowadays (unlike Miss Machine, I'm afraid).

Never really been into the Locust. I really loved the Swing Kids, and still do, but the Locust's stuff never did much for me. I saw them live some six years ago and found it kinda boring. Besides their clothes, they didn't have anything to offer others hadn't done before them. But what was worse about them was the countless bands that *followed* them

Mike Patton is a totally different thing to me. Fantomas are amazing and so are Mr. Bungle and FNM. Oh, and Tomahawk! I wouldn't call Fantomas metal tho, but I wouldn't call the Locust hardcore either, but who cares...


All hail the noise!!!

yes! two of my favorite bands atm

if this is the stuff which used to be referred to as Spazzcore or Power Violence, then count me in.

hehe, I thought The Locust sounded familiar... I think I might have had some of their stuff on one of those mad 7" comps on Slap-A-Ham which had about 50 tracks on each side (try ripping one of THOSE to CDR... lol)... though I haven't bought any of that kind of stuff since about 1997, but I used to love hardcore/powerviolence/fastcore, whatever you want to call it haha... Larm, Infest, Spazz, Capitalist Casualties, F*** On The Beach, Charles Bronson... that sort of thing. lol.

Yeah Spazzcore is a good name too.

BRAP !!!!!
daughters album is still among my favourites

does anyone know the story with this fantomas "pages" thing i found online? it's crazy good...the only way i can explain it is "metal cut-ups" with very cool melodic tangents.

probably one of the most refreshing things i found last year.
