noise rock

[Rongi]

i've been listening to sonic youth lately and would like to hear some other noise rock bands. i particularly like the guitar freakout noise bands

[Mad Melvin]

Try The Melvins.
Houdini is a good album to start with, I think.

[Krythor]

Guitar Wolf, Melt Banana, and maybe all of the no wave No New York bands - DNA, Contortions, Teenage Jesus and the Jerks and Mars.

I second the Melvins too.

[Protoclown]

Bass Wolf :(

i'm gonna go pour out a forty

[GADZOOKS]

I don't know what noise-rock is but early Pere Ubu is noisy, but I doubt you would dig them, they are a hound band.

[EverythingWillSuck]

Big Black is pretty essential.

Pailhead (Ian McKaye/Al Jourgenson) has a similar sound too, but a bit more industrial anyways.

Rudimentary Peni, while not exactly in the 'noise' genre or whatever, has that kind of 'out-there' sound in some songs.

and Saccharine Trust, check them out.

[Rongi]

i used to listen to Shellac and Big Black back in the day. Songs About Fucking was excellent

[glowbelly]

i second pere ubu

[noob3]

hahaha

[funkyamunky]

arab on radar maybe

[WorthlessLiar]

The Jesus and Mary Chain - Psychocandy

Pop melodies and walls of feedback.

Kinski

Kind of like an instrumental Sonic Youth.

[BlueOatmeal]

I'm gonna second The Melvins!

[Dole]

Rudimentary Peni, while not exactly in the 'noise' genre or whatever, has that kind of 'out-there' sound in some songs.

absolute mentalists - that concept album about H P Lovecraft is amazing. NIGHTGAUNT NIGHTGAUNT. Insane record covers too:

[Black Flag]

yellow swans!

[Courage the Cowardly Dog]

THE LOCUST!

The locust featuring members of Some girls and the swing kids are THE wierdest sonding noise rock band in HISTORY.

I personally like At the drive in, Sparta, and some earlier mars volta. I think judging from your taste you'll like earlier at the drive in when they were noisey art rock befor they went all hardcore.

[noob3]

locust are more like retarded grindcore :0

arab on radar are the best band ever. any of the post arab on radar lottery bands are good too, ie made in mexico, the chinese stars.

if you dig chinese stars see: six finger satellite. which is the band that pretty much started all this lightning bolt, arab on radar shit.

[Krythor]

noise rock is the new funk metal.

So your thinking closer to Jawbreaker, Fugazi, or Dinosaur Jr as noise rock? I would still say The Impossibles and At the Drive in are the best noise rock. If you don't mind the whiney emo voice Glassjaw is pretty good, do they even count as noise rock?

Pretty much anything on Gold Standard labs or dischord falls vaguely under noise rock.

[noob3]

noise rock should not even be used as a genre, because it is very misleading and almost every band in exisistance fits it.

i mean, feedback, interlogues, wacky pedal hijinks.

you might aswell call most emo bands noise haha. and shit like the mars volta. barf.

all i'm saying if i want to hear some fuzzed bass, wonky guitar lines, and somone singing like a girl about cocks, semen, wombs, retards & periods, i'll listen to arab on radar.

[Miss Modular]

Blonde Redhead
early Stereolab

and

[Krythor]

I already mentioned no wave six months ago. ;_;

If you like Lightning Bolt you might want to look up Ruins too. Also, "Pop Tatari" by the Boredoms.

[noob3]

lol how does lightning bolt relate to 2 japanese bands

[Black Flag]

yellow swans! >:

[noob3]

who are the yellow swans

[Black Flag]

download bring the neon war home

[Black Flag]

and the answer to your question is they are awesome

[noob3]

so its like the swans

but they are yellow swans

[Krythor]

Ruins because it's bass/drums. Boredoms was unrelated! Although they do put a huge emphasis on the rythm section so it's not that far off.

[noob3]

hey dischordance axis is guitar/drums so maybe lightning bolt fans should check them out, too. even though LB is bass/drums, it dosn't matter rofl

[Krythor]

I see a natural progression from Boredoms -> Ruins -> Lightning Bolt. Listen to them both side by side and superficially they sound different but fundamentally I think they're part of the same circles of influence.

But regardless they're all noisy and all rocky so HAVE AT IT.

[noob3]

NO: listen to BLACK DICE and then listen to lightning bolt.

and then take note what city each of those bands are from.

THEYRE FROM THE SAME DAMN CITY ;x NOT FROM JAPAN ;x

[Krythor]

I didn't mean the scene they're from, I just meant the musical influences are the same, regardless of what nationality or what decade they're from.

But I've put off listening to Black Dice for a long time so I'll try downloading some now actually.

[noob3]

ah YI YI YI YI YI YI YI YI YI YI YI YI YI YI YI YI YI YI YI YI Yi

numnumnum num num num num num num

num num numnumnumnumnumnum num num

i <3 black dice

[Krythor]

I don't wanna be a dick lol but ;x http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_Bolt

[noob3]

well i've never even heard either of those bands i just can't take it to heart because all i know is they are japanese

[Black Flag]

guys you're missing the point

yellow swans!

[noob3]

dude what is a good cd/song?

[Black Flag]

i told you man!

bring the neon war home!

[noob3]

i am bringing it home right now

[Rongi]

Black Dice are fucking awesome

All the japanese crazy bonkers bands are pretty cool, especially melt banana

[iron mitchell]

threads like this make me do what helm did.

[Emu]

what did helm do

[iron mitchell]

quit coming here.

[Rongi]

why is that?

[Ihach]

i totally figured this would be mitchell's thread, and he'd have a huge list of bands at the ready

[noob3]

pink floyd are a noise band my mom says

[Fathom Zero]

Noisy Band is more like it.

[Rongi]

i totally figured this would be mitchell's thread, and he'd have a huge list of bands at the ready

that's why i made this thread :(

[iron mitchell]

my soul is still healing from from the thread i posted in a few days ago.
i may compose a brief list after i'm out of weed.

[iron mitchell]

the only bands mentioned that i'd even fathom being noise rock are d yellow swans (good pick, really), sonic youth (first few albums only), the boredoms, and lightning bolt.

most of the other stuff isn't noise-y at all.

noise ROCK (remember, it has to rock?)...

hair police (particularly earlier stuff, whereas the newer stuff leans into more creeped soundtrack vibes)

live skull (an old fave.)

ground zero (well, if the boredoms are fair game...)

harry pussy (the official noise-rock band, dudes)

no docters (particularly live, when they're less controlled. their cover of bruce springsteen's "jungleland" is to die for.)

white mice (maybe noise-metal would be more appropriate?)

vibracathedral orchestra (much more psych/drone-influenced but also definitely appropriate for the list)

the goslings (a newer band, also sometimes dipping into psychedelic waters)

unsane (i don't think i've listened to these guys since high school, but i'm going to trust my memory.)

hijokaiden (overrated, in my opinion, but definitely a good band)

the coughs (playing with these dudes and dudettes soon. can't forget them.)

fushitsusha (a little less rockin', but a necessary listen)

mindflayer (much more noise-oriented than LB)

parts & labor (they vary from time to time, but overall i'd fit them in)

wolf eyes (when they're not doing creeper jams)

acid mothers temple (i'd say some of the more searing AMT material would fall under this genre)

zeni geva (another i haven't heard in at least 7 years)

magik markers (even though i'm not terribly fond of them)

[Emu]

I've been listening to SY's Bad Moon Rising lately and I don't care what anyone says it's great >:

[noob3]

iron you suck if you think six finger or arab on radar arn't noise.

calling zeni geva noise? haha you're a fucking pompous idiot you might aswell list isis

[iron mitchell]

either you haven't heard these bands outside of an mp3 or two (likely) or you don't have half a clue of what you're talking about (obviously).
and stop calling any of this noise, faggot. it isn't.

[noob3]

i have three zeni geva cds that i bought in like REAL LIFE

desire for agony, 10,000 light years & total castration. it's like metal with psychadelic tendencies man

if you're going to call zeni geva noise, i can list a 1000 bands that also go under "noise"

[noob3]

hey guys any metal band that has nosies is a noise band lol

converge is a nosie band lol

omg yanni has "noises" it's a NOISE BAND GUYS

[iron mitchell]

seriously, i should be able to ban people. that's all there is to it.
if you still think "noises" (or nosies?) have much of anything to do with "being a noise band", then you're fucking lost.
end thread...
er, end board.

[noob3]

i hope to god you're really leaving, because we really don't need pompous assholes like you calling bands like zeni geva a noise band.

why don't you go listen to your "noise bands" you patsy fuck. and i'll listen to my good, obviously not noise bands like arab on radar. and thank fucking god they're not classified as "noise" by fucks like you, i don't think i'd like them nearly as much :lol

[executioneer]

it's threads like this that make me appreciate putting all music in proper categories rather than just enjoying it

[noob3]

primus is noise rock :lol

[Krythor]

I LOVE the Goslings but I really wouldn't consider it something Rongi would be looking for if his starting point is Sonic Youth. It's too slow and droney (not that it's drone) to be that ROCKING, I think.

Noise rock really doesn't mean anything, but from Rongi originally mentioning Sonic Youth you kind of know what you're in for, and since Sonic Youth are influenced by No Wave you can start off by listing those bands to begin with.

Since Arab on Radar and Melt-Banana are also largely no wave influenced I think they're fair game too.

Still, I know what iron is saying and I appreciate his contributions. There's a few on that list that I'll be looking up.

[Jomb]

The noise band i've been greatly enjoying lately is Cock ESP. I got the Super Noise Penis ep playing. They are more noise than rock though.

[iron mitchell]

i put out some cock esp material and must say that even i can't make it through the majority of their releases.
an experience best left live and unrecorded.

[Jomb]

I saw them live once on accident, i did'nt even realize it was a band, i thought it was just some guy messing around with the PA system before the show started! I actually like my 7" of them much better.
My all-time favorite band, Caroliner, could be considered noise-rock, at times. I dont think thats an adequate label for them though.

[executioneer]

primus is noise rock :lol

NO THEY ARENT THEYRE ROCAKBILLY FUSION JAZZ

[iron mitchell]

i adore caroliner rainbow. i've played many a show with them.
i'd actually say caroliner may fit somewhere into noise-rock, just not sure where. those guys are way too "out-there" to even bother describing.

[Jomb]

yeah, any label you try to put on them falls short. I saw them live twice, and those are by far the best 2 shows i ever been to. I wish i knew if they were touring again ever because i would drive great distances to see them, but information on them is so hard to come by.
What band are you in?

[iron mitchell]

i suspect caroliner will tour again considering they've released some new stuff in the past year or so, but i haven't seen any dates.
as for what bands i'm in, there's a thread i started just below this one that goes on and on about the subject.

[Miss Modular]

Oval.

I haven't thought about them in awhile, but they might be worth looking into. They did a killer remix of "Happy Ending" on Pizzicato Five's "Happy End of You" album.
