DEATH TO PIGS - LIVE AT KARACHI (2012)

Damaged, dirty, and noisy as fuck. Death To Pigs (France) play a pounding, buzzsaw and gut wrenching style of rock similar to Pissed Jeans, Jesus Lizard, Cop Shoot Cop, and Swans.
This record has some no-wave and experimental elements, which is different from their past shit, but still remains as ugly as your step sisters friends.
Also, this is not a live album, as states, but 13 studio songs for your displeasure. Killer shit.
(213 Records - 2012)

SCUL HAZZARDS - COUNT LESS DEAD (2007)

Required, fucking great, listening if yer into this noisy rawk we love here at the blog.
Scul Hazzards were/are from Melbourne, Victoria Australia.
This is a 5 song EP that fans of Shellac, Jesus Lizard, Dazzling Killmen, Unsane, Hawks will enjoy the shit out of.
(Valve Records - 2007)

DL: COUNT LESS DEAD

BAKAMONO - THE CRY OF THE TURKISH FIG PEDDLER (1994)

Here's some cool angular, mathy, weirdo noise rock from Bakamono...not all that dissimilar to Fugazi, Sonic Youth, Hoover, Nation of Ulysses, Steel Pole Bath Tub, and Cherubs... all in a boozy, fuzzy-eyed pool party.

Just make sure you warmup and stretch the muscles before listening to this. Don't want to pull a hammy while getting down, doing 'The Jerk' to this in your living room, basement or backyard.
Must-have stuff.
(Priority Records - 1994)

DL: TURKISH FIG

ABRAMS - LUST. LOVE. LOSS. (2015)

Good new debut shit from Abrams, a 3-piece from Denver, Color-RAD-o.
Gnarly, heavy, angst driven, guitar riff rawk in the vein of Doomriders, Coliseum, Ladder Devils, Baroness, and Disappearer.
That's quite a mouthful eh? Get on it fools.

TANTRUM - TWISTED IN ANGUISH (1997)

Goddamn this shit is good!!!

You like Helmet?...Of course you do.
You like Cop Shoot Cop?... Yep sure do.
You like Glazed Baby?... I've been known to blast them annoyingly loud.
You like Cows?... Duh!
So this is what you get when you mix those bands into a flammable liquid pool full of fireworks, and drop lit matchsticks into it. K-boooooom!

DL: TWISTED IN ANGUISH

GODHEADSILO - BOOBY TRAP EP (1999)

Hee Hee. Booby.
Ok I love being 8 years old sometimes.
I wasn't listening to godheadSilo when I was 8 though.
Well, they weren't around yet, but thats beside the point.
Here's a 4 song ep you need to make you feel cool amongst your peers. Believe me, it works.
And you can fill them in on your musical knowledge when you tell them there is a Uriah Heep cover here.
Now, that's a band I probably was listening to when I was 8.
(Sub Poop - 1995)

DL: BOOBY TRAP

ISIS - SAWBLADE EP (1999)

Remember when Isis used to CRUSH everything in their path?
Their later stuff is still good...Hell, even new stuff like Sumac I am digging.
But this earlier stuff just pounds you into dust over and over and over.
And how do you go wrong with Godflesh and Black Sabbath covers that are heavier than the originals?
4 songs here on this early EP. Bashing. Merciless. Brooootal. Blow after blow. 
(Hydra Head - 1999)

DL: SAWBLADE

NIGHTSLUG - LOATHE (2015)

Here's some trudging, heavy-ass sludge rock from Nightslug outta Montpellier, France.
7 songs in the vein of Brainbombs, Hey Colossus, Fetish 69, and Rectal Hygienics that will flatten you like a pancake. Maybe some Sleep in there too? Sure! Ready to get whomped?!
(Lost Pilgrims Records - 2015)

DL: LOATHE
BANDCAMP

YEAR FUTURE - YEAR FUTURE EP (2003)

Year Future was around (as far as I know) from 2003 to 2006 ish and this was their first single and release.
4 songs chocked full of post-hardcore / indie-noise with some gothy undertones. Right off the bat you should (yes? no? maybe?) recognize Sonny Kay from The VSS and Angel Hair, and also features band members from Dead and Gone, Creeps On Candy, The Fucking Angels, and more. You can google more info if you're less lazy than I.

If you're into...The VSS, The Birthday Party, Future to the Left, Bauhaus, Drive Like Jehu, Wire, Monorchid...this should titillate your tubes.

BERT - BIG BOX SCHWING (1996)

Off kilter bashing, raunchy and gnashing...Bert (Montgomery, Alabama) attacks with a brutal sounding slab of commotion on this 15 song noise-rock-action pulverizer. I realize there is a 23 song version of this circulating out there, but this is what I got.
If you dig Jesus Lizard, Helmet, Don Caballero, Shellac, Unsane, old Amrep shite...you know, the usual suspects found here at the 'ol blog...there is no reason you wouldn't enjoy getting your head squeezed and schmushed in by this. Who doesn't want their head distorted for free I ask?

DL: BIG BOX SCHWING

BUZZ RODEO - SPORTS (2015)

I was on a short (very short) vacation for a bit.
Then I dropped everything else to watch the Chicago Blackhawks kick all kinds of ass and win the Stanley Cup!...Again! Fucking amazing series!
So I'm back to the blog now.

And speaking of sports...this was sent in by staticfraction's good friend and comrade, Ralf...this being his band.

Buzz Rodeo are a post-punk noise rock Trio from Stuttgart Germany, and Sports is their new, debut effort. Aggressive, powerful, frantic, scratching and clawing rock. 
Pure energy thwacking you in the skull and kicking you in the stumps!
You'll find some buzzsaw sounds on this tasty treat similar to Shellac, Sonic Youth, Drive Like Jehu.
So if'n yer into to those bands and good things to make your day better, then chug this down pronto.

UDARNIK - MOMMY SHOOTS A REINDEER (2013)

(band submission)

This album really grew on me fast.
Really great, noisy, grungy rockin shit from Udarnik (Nijmegen, The Netherlands).
A good mix of Hammerhead, Cop Shoot Cop, Nirvana...I guess.
What I really keep hearing in this recording, could be compared to the Smile 'Maquee' album...which is an amazing record.
They have a new 2 song ep worth checking out while you're at their bandcampground too.

Heeeeeyy....thats not a rabbit on the cover.

I was label hopping (get it?) with that last post and discovered this.
This is the same Rabbits band that did a 7" split with Whores, and have a new album (featured somewhere on this blog) on Chris Spencers' (Unsane, Cutthroats 9) label Lamb Unlimited.
How's that for some noise rock name dropping?

BLOOD DRUGS - S/T (2015)

Ever leaned on an electric fence after sledgehammering a watermelon?
This is the sensation of Blood Drugs. Feel the voltage flow and wallop through you. The shock, the shot of pain, then pleasure from the pain. -The Stranger

Blood Drugs are from Seattle, Wa-Wa...and this is their new, debut 10 song blaster.
You get some Young Widows / Pissed Jeans sounds happening here, with shots of Hot Snakes and Fugazi mixed in for extra sauce. I'm good with it. You should be too.

WARHAMMER 48K - UBER OM (2004)

Damaged, bombastic, frenzied, hurricane art rock from Warhammer 48K.
This is their first release. 6 songs...some getting into the 8 and 9 min zone.

If yer into Drunkdriver, Hey Colossus, Lightning Bolt, Noxagt, spinning in circles through a room made of high powered magnets with a metal bucket over your head...then this should do you right.

Ex-Monsterbator dudes (Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada) new project and new album, out in June.

FIGHT AMPUTATION - CONSTANTLY OFF (2015)

Fight Amputation changed to 'Fight Amp' ...then back again.
Kinda like when little Bobby down the street got older and now wants to be called Robert.

Mature.
Maybe that's what Philadelphia, PA's noise rock power trio is getting at on their new album 'Constantly Off'. Its heavy. Grungy. Sludgy... Mature?...Yes. But only in the sense of kicking up the riffs and locking in the rhythms with the addition of more focused, melodic vocals. Its still a shredder.
Fans of early Melvins, Nirvana, Torche and Eyehategod will dig.

KEN MODE - SUCCESS (2015)

Winnipeg Canada's KEN mode is back with a new record. Taking a different approach from the previous releases. Both the album art and actual musical recorded.
They've brightened their artwork (if you have all your records aligned in iTunes. Am I the only one who still does this?)
But more importantly, have seemed to move towards a more commercial and easier to digest for the masses sound. Its still heavy, noisy, sludgy...its just...different.

For me, their 4th record, 'Venerable' was their best...such a fuckin' killer, blueprint, and high point record, and being one of my favorite records from 2011... this record seems lacking a bit. I know bands need to try new sounds and things, but I feel this falls a little short of the mark. It's still a good record, and with multiple listens, it may grow on these ears....but doesn't knock my face to the dirt like 'Venerable' does.

TRUCK OR DEAD HORSE - S/T (2013)

Chicago mathy/noise rock from Truck or Dead Horse.

They have a sort of mix of early 90s Chicago rock like something on Touch and Go... Tar / Don Caballero / Hoover (I know, not Touch and Go) parts.
Mixed with later 90s / early 2000s Chicago rock like stuff that was out on Thick records or Divot Records...Haymarket Riot / Brass Knuckles / Neutrino / Braid? type stuff.
Good Schtuff.

HEAVY BREATH - SYNTHEMESC DREAMS (2010)

This was the debut EP from Hamden, Connecticuts Heavy Breath. From back in 2010.
Is it heavy? Damn skippy. Better be with that name. 

After you get past the weird, Queen/Flash Gordon sounds with Clockwork Orange sample first song, the rest of this 5 song EP punches you in the gut, jaw, eye, ear, teeth and neck with post-hardcore monster riffs and hooks. 

They have some other releases on their bandcamp page worth checking out while your there as well.
I honestly haven't had time to go through any of it yet... But you should. Let me know what you find.

TODAY IS THE DAY - WILLPOWER (1994)

So I'll admit, I'm not super into the newer Today Is The Day stuff.
I know alot of you will probably disagree. And that's ok.
We're all allowed to our own tastes and opinions....So leave yours to your damn self. (Haha..just kidding).

But this early stuff is fucking incredibly insane. Harsh, noisy, brutal.
Steve Austin and Co. were the shit.
This schtuff is definitely filed under the 'Essential' card. Duh.

Anyone see that new Amrep documentary? The story about Steve Austin getting his eyes cooked...fuckin crazy.

Building old skate ramps back in the day. Hammer comes down. SMACK!!
You wave your hand around trying to 'swat' the pain, and dance around in a circle yelling 'Shit! Shit! Shit!".
Black thumb.

SORES is guys from Black Elk, The Roller and Wet Lungs outta Austin, TX.
If you're into eyehategod, Cavity, Thug, Buzzoven...that sorta heavy, sludgy noise rawk, you'll be into this.
