HIVE BENT - DYATLOV (2014)

Pretty killer, punch-to-your-mouth 2 piece noise-rock gang from Baltimore, MD who play a loud, cacophonous, highly erratic blend of noise and melody. I guess there's always the similar sound comparison you get with a 2 piece...a lil godheadSilo, a lil Dead, a lil Lighting Bolt, a lil Gay Witch Abortion. But thats pretty awesome company to be in.
This stuff is going great with my daily pots of coffee!! Thanks to friends over at The Elementary Revolt

BIG DAMN CRAZY WEIGHT - MIGHT AS WELL EP (1992)

This could be considered more grunge-y than noise rock, only cuz of the time era. And I always thought they had one of the cooler band names around.
Way back when Sub Pop and Amrep had bands that played together after school in that sketchy park that everyone said to stay away from because there were dirty needles and bullet shells found scattered around.
This quartet was one of those bands that some overlap into the noise arena, and I'm surprised they didn't make it on to a Dope Guns comp at some point. They only had a handful of singles and comp songs, and coulda, shoulda, been bigger. Damnit.

PLUG - BACK ON THE SKULL (2013)

So when I first saw this album cover, it made me think of early 90's heavy/industrial/noise type stuff. And it's that far off, sans the industrial aspect. And available on cassette too, so there's that.

This 5-piece from San Antonio, Tejas, recall the early sounds of Helmet, Tad, Melvins, and Unsane, with an updated style similar to Whores. This is their debut which they blast out plenty of originals along with a Discharge and a Fang cover. They also have a new 2 song EP on their Bandcamp, which is more southern rock/punk. Its ok...but I prefer this record!

SLUG - SWINGERS (1992)

More pummeling noise rock goodness from Slug for ya, as well as fulfilling requests.
This was originally a 10" and a CD release.
Yes, we do requests, birthday parties, bar mitzfahs.... No Skynyrd covers though... unless there's enough cash involved. Cha-ching!

SILENT FRONT - TRUST (2014)

3 piece hoodlums from London, United Kingdom, Silent Front is anything but. Surprising to me they've been around a while...since the 90s. So their sound isn't borrowed, but more so continuing and carried on.
They fling noisy-rawk with some mathy parts at you, like monkeys flinging poo, with unhinged, frenzied and angular style similar to Drive Like Jehu, Shellac, Future of the Left and even some Hoover parts mixed in. Damn, I need a change of clothes.

SLUG - HAMBONE CITY / KING OF GHOSTS EP (1993)

Solid early 90's noise rock from Los Angle-ees, Ca. 2 song single here, Slug had a couple albums, one of which you can get here, and a handful of singles. If you dig Cherubs, Unsane, Jesus Lizard, Cows, godheadsilo, then you'll be happy with this acquisition.

THE DEVIL - THE DEVIL (2013)

3 piece from the London, UK area. They have some Shellac-ery style, some Killdozer-y style, and some Mule-ry style, The Devil enjoy playing and recording music, but they also have external hobbies like playing in Country Teasers (Fat Possum, In The Red), Nought (Shifty Disco) and The Rebel.

NICE HOOVES - NICE HOOVES (2013)

These guys don't really make the usual 'noise-rock' ruckus that makes up the majority of this blog, but they're still ripping, heavy, and sludge punk enough stuff that they deserve mention. And don't let that new-age looking album cover sway you away either.

A fiver outta Detroit who kick out the jams (ha) in a pounding, crushing, booze fueled and sore neck from head-bangin' kind of way. If Coliseum, Sweet Cobra, Akimbo, and/or Doomriders are your thing, then these guys are right in your wheelhouse. Music to trash your buddy's house to. Wheee!

LOVE 666 - LOVE 666 (1994)

Ahhh. Good 'ol classic 90s noise rock. This was Love 666's first release before putting out a coupla albums and a single on Amrep.
This stuff will make you wanna get hopped up on hooch and ride a motorcycle naked, blindfolded and on fire through a dark backwoods field while people hurl Molotov Cocktails and fire paintball guns at your ass. Good times!!

EX WIVES - HOORS (2014)

Where the Hell did April go? Damn. Ok so the first release of May goes a little something like this:
I really like these here guys, Ex Wives and have mentioned them before here. This was a band submission of sorts...was contacted by them about this shiny, super sexy, spanking new release on cassette. They also have a split record in the works and hopefully... fingers crossed... an album as well.

If you dig Shellac, Scul Hazzards, Big'N, and most of the Albini library, you'll need plastic surgery to remove your goddamn smile from this.
