BASTRO - DIABLO GUAPO (1989)

Well you had to see this comin'.
How could I talk about Diablo Guapo, and not put 'er here for your consuming pleasure.
It was either this or a "Weird Al" Yankovich album. Seriously...who doesn't love Weird Al?
(Homestead - 1989)

*Anyway, also, not that anyone but me pays attention to this shit but me, this is my biggest, by volume month doing staticfraction so far. Past months I hovered around 25-30 posts a month, averaging a post a day.
Weak sauce! This post will put us at a cool 50 posts. (Quantity over quality?... Probably). But that means I'm working hard for you mo-fos! (It's all downhill from here). And I may as well crank out the posts now cuz, you know, I'll probably get burned out down the road and stop doing this. That seems to be the nature of blogging, right?.. But for now there's no stopping in sight....I may not hit 50 every month, but let's keep cranking!!

BASTRO - SHOOT ME A DEER 7" (1989)

There really needs to be more Bastro up in these bloggity parts. I put one album up here. But I can do better. Here's a 7" single from their "Diablo Guapo" album, with an exclusive B-side. Oooooh. B-sides!...for all you nerds out there. (Myself included).
The formalities: Bastro features members that were in/around/drank, and were part of Squirrel Bait, Bitch Magnet, Gastr Del Sol, Seam, Red Krayola, Tortoise, etc, etc. Bastro was the earliest, rawest and rockin-est stuff from all those bands. They actually borrowed alot from Albini/Rapeman/Big Black to influence their sound and style. Why not right? Get it nerds!

TAD - GOD'S BALLS (1989)

(by request)
Actually I have a few requests I need to get to.... but up first...

So this month was a big 'ol month for our big man Tad. With all the singles I posted here and here. Oh, and here. I was getting around to this eventually, the first Tad album. The Tad wristwatch album. Big arms. Big sound. Little watch. There's probably a story behind it. But I never asked.
Anyway, Seattle way back in 1988-89 (pre-grunge era) Sub Pop had balls!...so they released more balls!... God's Balls...And this was some of the heaviest shit out there. Shit that wasn't metal anyway. I heard stories that Tad would stage dive every once in a while. That does not sound fun. I'd rather watch the big man stay on stage and blast our faces off. Behemoth!...muthafucka!!

TRUMANS WATER - SPASM SMASH XXXOXOX OX AND ASS (1993)

Trumans Water (San Diego, CA) is/was one of those bands that has put out like 20 albums, yet always seems to fly under the radar and get lost within those gagillian other 90s indie rock bands. But they are not just another average indie rock band. No sir. This is their 2nd album, and this shit gets experimental, and noisy, and awesome as shit my friend. Like a chaotic noise rock concoction, taking parts and pieces from Sonic Youth, Fugazi, Unwound, and Space Streakings. Or who knows, maybe they're bigger than I realize. Either or, take the manic ride for yourself without protective gear and get ass spasm smashed. Xoxo.

DŸSE - DAS NATION (2014)

So apparently these guys are pretty big. Not 'Weird Al' Yankovich big. But big in the loud, aggressive indie noise rock spectrum big. I'm just hearing 'em for the first time, and I'm diggin' it.
This is the new album from duo, 2-piece, what-have-you, from Germany's Dyse. They have quite a few records out actually, which I've been checking out. If you're unfamiliar, this is a great record to start with. Vocals go back and forth between English and German, and the music is tight, full and solid, like a Helmet record. Because of the 2 member thing I could compare Gay Witch Abortion or Lightning Bolt, but the record is diverse, getting math noodly at times, but mostly, they lay it down and blast through your skull and chest. Like a mix of KEN mode, Whores, or Black Tusk maybe.
And its on Cargo... What's that?... Cargo?.. Didn't realize they were still around. Well I'm getting old, and still think of Rocket From the Crypt on Cargo. So there ya go. I need to get out more.

LUSTRE KING - SHOOT THE MESSENGER (1999)

Experimental and mostly instrumental meld of straight-up spine-tingling body-shaking rock and ambient moods, loops, and encircling blips beeps and screams. Math rock infused science, combining beautiful noise and all-out aggressive indie rock from Chicago's now defunct Lustre King.
These guys were around in the 90s and put out a few releases before moving on to other things. Mainly Mike Lust has a recording studio (Phantom Manor) and records lots of bands I'm sure you've heard. He also plays in Tight Phantoms as well. This record is pure genius.

COLOSSAMITE / WHITE TORNADO SPLIT 7" (1998)

2 bad ass noise rock kicks to the solar plexus on one slab 'o wax. White Tornado was from Italy. Colossamite was from Minneapolis, MN and had a bunch of stuff on Skin Graft records. If you dig U.S Maple, Dazzling Killmen, Big'n, Arab in Radar, then chances are you'll be into this. Whoo-waaah!

GAZER - FAKE BULBS EP / PHONE COMMERCIAL EP (2013/2014)

2 EPs with 4 songs each from Gazer out of Cincinnati, OH. So count 'em. That's 8 songs.
Good heavy hard ass-kickin shit. Part post-punk, part hardcore, part noise rock. Thick, furious bass, distorted and strangulated vocals, and hyper-ripping drums with whiplash transitions.
Apparently there is a christian rock band called Gazer as well, so don't make that mistake.

MUSHMIND - ADULT INTERESTS (2014)

4 piece from Tampa, Florida, Mushmind deliver their debut LP of weird and almost dark, brand of noise punk to your earwax canals. The vocals are low and growly. And the music is just snotty (in a good way. Not like my nose last weekend with the cold I caught). I can hear Black Flag in there, only without the Greg Ginn guitar plucking...and add a strange mix of Pissed Jeans, Shaved Women, Die Kreuzen and something on Skin Graft. Yeah, that should do the trick.

PYLONE / MAGNETO SPLIT (2014)

Split 10" record from Pylone and Magneto, 2 bands out of France. 4 songs. 2 songs each.
Mid-tempo, angular post-rock/ minimal noise rock type stuff. Magneto leans almost to the dark wave side, while Pylone gets in there with some New Brutalism/Shellac kinda stuff. You come here, you know the drill.

STEEL POLE BATH TUB - UNLISTENABLE (2002)

Had to do it.... Still riding that Steel Pole Bath Tub train.
This was their last record. They signed a contract. Recorded. And submitted it to their label. The label refused to release it calling it "Unlistenable". So it was released on CD on 0 to 1 Recodings in 2002, before Permanent Records realized how good it was, and gave it a proper vinyl release in 2010. That's the story & I'm sticking to it.

KING SNAKE ROOST - THINGS THAT PLAY THEMSELVES (1989)

Have always been a fan of these fellers, but haven't listened to this in a while. Still holds up. Dirgy, dirty, greasy and grimey noise rock...just the way you like it (or not) ... from Australia's King Snake Roost. This is there 2nd full length album. The bass in this is ridiculous good. And the album art is spot on. Features members that were in Lubricated Goat, Bushpig, Bloodless and Grong Grong. So there.

KUDGEL - CHIMP IS DEAD (2000)

Kudgel were a criminally underrated/unknown and short-lived noise rock band from Boston, MA who broke up in 1994. With only a handful of EPs, this is a compilation of basically everything. Amrep style 'chimp-rock' with unmistakeably and recognizable strained vocals, and spastic, overblown numbingly loud guitars. 
Get your primate action swingin!

STEEL POLE BATH TUB - WE OWN DRRRILLS EP (1987)

OK so most of you probably know by now, I'm a huge Steel Pole fan. Although I'm still relatively slacking on getting all of their shit up here on the blog. But I aim to fix that...starting from the beginning. This is SPBTs very first EP, We Own Drrrills from 1987, and a word of warning...it sounds very different from what they eventually evolve into. If you're new to them, I would start with Tulip or Butterfly Love first. But for die hard fans with a completest nature to have 'everything', then this needs to be added to the collection.

U SCO - TREFFPUNKT (2014)

Instrumental chaotic nuttiness from U SCO, a 3 piece from Portlandia, OR. These guys have all the start/stop, off kilter time changes, and...well...chaotic nuttiness, that would make the biggest Don Caballero fan shit his/her favorite math formula pajamas. Punk noise that's mathy-er than a roomful of mathematicians at a number theory and calculator convention. Luckily you don't need an abacus to figure out how many times to click to acquire this. Go on, add it up.

BEWITCHED - BRAIN ERASER (1990)

Bewitched was a project formed by former Sonic Youth drummer Bob Bert who was also in Pussy Galore and the Chrome Cranks. You can read more here. The album actually features a drum machine, and has an experimental and industrial noise sounding thing going on, not unlike Distorted Pony, Big Black, and/or Cop Shoot Cop. Despite the cover art that you would have skimmed right past in the $1 bin at a jazz record store, this is pretty obscure and an 11 on the cool shit-o-meter. You'll get this if you know what's good for you.

WHITE SPOT - FATHER SONGS (2015)

So I admit, the first time I listened to this 2nd album by Mansura, Louisiana's White Spot I was like, yeah its ok. Maybe cuz I was preoccupied with my animal cadaver stuffing hobby on the weekend. The formaldehyde really gets to you.
Anyway, with a fuzzy head and rubber gloves, I threw it on again. And when the 4th song, 'Counting Steps' came on, I was like, damn this is totally a Steel Pole Bath Tub sounding song. Now the rest of the album doesn't sound like the Steel Pole fellers per se, although the songs vary from experimental and trudging like Steel Pole, to hardcore/noise pounding, similar to KEN mode or Dillinger Escape Plan with almost metal vocals at times. Crrrush!

PACHINKO - EL DIABLO EN SENORITA 7" (1996)

Continuing with more 90s rock!! Pachinko from Madison, Wi, put out a slew of 7"s on a bunch of random labels before moving on over to AltTent (ha) to do this 3 song, ear-pummeling shredder. Dirgy, distorto-noise punks, kicking your ass sideways, round and round and upside-down! Bend over and take yours!

PENCIL - EL TORO (1995)

So all I should really have to say about these guys, is that they did a split 7" with Big'n and that ought to be enough to perk those odd shaped ears of yours. But I will tell you that this mathy/post-punk/noise band from Indianapolis, IN was active in the early to mid 90's and put out 2 full lengths and 2 singles. That too could be enough. But I will also tell you that if you dig, Big'n (duh), Shellac, Killdozer, and Mule, then that should most certainly be enough for you to want to schnnnaaag this up. Essential!

OVIPOSITOR - EVERYONE HAS THEIR TIPPING POINT (2011)

More rock from Oakland, CA. This one is actually recorded by one of the dudes from Replicator, you know, those dudes from a recent post.
Anywho, Ovipositor plays a mix of avant-garde, and experimental noodling, to straight on, angular indie noise. Like a mix of Hot Snakes, Silkworm, and any number of bands on Skin Graft. Who-yaah!

DL: TIPPING POINT

SWEAR JAR - CUSS (2011)

Swear Jar (Cincinnati) play bombastic, hardcore rock, garnished with unexpected transitions. A trio that exude intensity and play with the subtlety of a blunt object to the skull. The band’s rhythm section plays a prominent role in their sound: heavy, jangly, ropy bass lines are set to a unique hybrid of George Hurley and Todd Trainer drumming styles driving counter-intuitive song structures. This foundation underlines chaotic guitar-work which dynamically veers on and off the rails, sparking dissonance and ingenuity. For fans of Amphetamine Reptile’s noisiest and most abrasive work, NoMeansNo, Shellac, Minutemen and Crucifucks.

Replicator was a killer noise rock band from Oakland, CA from the early 2000s to 2008 before they hung up their spurs for different projects. They have a slew of releases which I think you all will like and are all worth mentioning. Sonically, they are a hefty mix of Tar, Distorted Pony, Glazed Baby, and Shellac.

So I have music in the queue for posting usually. Either a draft saved or just a note in my small little noggin, (Self, you should post that cool record you just heard. People would dig it). Yes a weird twisted little order of things that sometimes goes that way, and sometimes not.
This is one of those cases where I had been planning to post this, but somehow a 1000 other albums said,
"Hey, look at me!", and distracted me.
Anyway I'm here to rectify. A suggestion from a fine visitor in the comments section reminded me from this link, to get THIS, balls out, no-nonsense, punch to the gut, noise rawk record on the blog pronto!! So I did. Enjoy.

FASHODA CRISIS - ALMOST EVERYONE IS ENTIRELY AVERAGE AT ALMOST EVERYTHING (2014)

Southend on Sea, England based indie-noise punks, Fashoda Crisis, album from 2014, has a pretty long album title. Takes me back to my punk days as a youth when all the SNFU albums titles had 7 words. This beats those by a few. But not quite as much as Chumbawumba which has 865 characters. So there you go...the one to beat.

So having just heard of these guys, I'm pleasantly surprised to find they have quite a few releases to check out (and with shorter album titles). And they're all worth your time. Musically they have a Minutemen, Future of the Left, Mclusky thing going on, with almost Pixies style vocals spazzing out.
So don't be entirely average. Go on...click away!

BERLINE0.33 - THE ABYSS WILL GAZE BACK (2014)

So here's another one of those bands and albums that I heard a while back and meant to post, but somehow my slack-ass dropped the ball. Must have been when I was training for that hot dog eating contest. Ah well, doesn't mean this thing expired or anything. You can still enjoy it now the same as if you did 6 months ago.
So that being said, Berline0.33 are from France and make a solid noise ruckus. 'The Abyss' is their 4th release and 2nd full length mambo-jambo which hits that sonic sweet spot. Guitars buzzsawing back and forth, and bass and drums swaying and rolling in a way that would make a Shellac cover band sweat with envy. Get this shit now. I'm gonna grab a hot dog.

This was submitted by the band, and if my sketchy memory serves, I'm pretty sure I had it in the queue ready to post at some point. But somewhere along the way I spaced out, and forgot to do so. So here's to fixing shit.
So Missiles of October (Bruxelles, Belgium) lay it down and blow you away from the git go! Loud, angry, dirty, sludgy with some hardcore overtones! Gruff vocals, and chunky, Helmet-like riffs bash you over and over, as each new track continues an assault as soon as the previous track ends. 
And when track 10 "Dead Body" starts a-chug-a-chugging, tell me you can't help comparing Judas Priest "You Got Another Thing Comin". Yeah!!. Get your armor and hotties with artillery, its time for battle!!

DOG FACED HERMANS - TOO MUCH FOR THE RED TICKER (1990)

Dog Faced Hermans were Anarcho punks from the UK who played angular and unorthodox instrumentation. They were around from 1986-1995, releasing a bunch of albums and a handful of singles before moving on to other projects like Rhythm Activism and The Ex.
This 2-song single definitely has that late 80's/early 90s punk sound, but with some added jangly-noise, similar to Birthday Party, Wipers or X (not the LA punk band with John Doe and Exene) the Australian X.
Must have stuff.

From Paris, France, comes Enob (Bone backwards?) and their newest effort "Demer Dezvous' released right towards the end of 2014. Wasn't familiar with their stuff before but I like it. They blend spacey/shoegazery guitars like Young Widows, with industrial tinged textures like a Distorted Pony, with chaotic feedbacking and caterwauling spasms like a Arab on Radar or Ed Hall mix. Electrocutes the nervous system...in a good way.

Split 7" from noise rock hitters Tunic and Conduct, both from Winnipeg, Canada. Apparently there are 500 copies of these bad-boys floating around, but I haven't been able to find a physical copy. Maybe you have to live in Canada to own one.
Anywho, this is Tunic's first recording, a killer noise rock blast-o-rama. And the Conduct song comes from their 'Fear and Desire' album, due out early 2015 on Public Tone. Oh, and its recorded by Mr. Steve Albini too, so you know the noisy/post-rock action you're getting into. Capturing the spirit of 90's Touch and Go and Dischord sounds, this makes me excited for the new album and more. Krack-ka-pow!
