Do you dig any of these bands?

[BotchtheLocust]

Is anyone into any of these bands?:

If so, we should talk about music.

Botch
The Locust
Give Up the Ghost
The Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower
Orchid
Swing Kids
Drive Like Jehu
The Mars Volta
CAN
Fugazi
Minor Threat
The Blood Brothers
Off Minor
Ampere
Robotosaurus
Akimbo

[FullCollaspe]

From those I like Botch, Orchid, TMV, Fugazi, Drive Like Jehu, Bloos Brothers, and The Plot....

[jbertclassic]

Fugazi, Drive Like Jehu, Mars Volta, but where is At The Drive-In??

[Jumpoff]

I love how Can found its way in there

[BotchtheLocust]

I like At the Drive-In also. Haha, I love CAN. Sweet, what other music do you guys like?

[FullCollaspe]

Since you like Some Girls and Botch, some of the members made a new band called Narrows. http://www.myspace.com/narrows

[BotchtheLocust]

Yeap, I've heard them. It's cool, not as good as either of the previous bands though.

[FullCollaspe]

Well, it's pretty hard living up to a band like Botch

[BotchtheLocust]

Yea, it is. Narrows is good though. Thursday, eh? Full Collapse is a really good album.

[Jumpoff]

I like At the Drive-In also. Haha, I love CAN. Sweet, what other music do you guys like?

Mammoth Grinder. Should listen.

[FullCollaspe]

It's a great album

[BotchtheLocust]

You also like Orchid? Have you heard Ampere?

[BotchtheLocust]

Mammoth Grinder, eh?! I'm gonna check that out bro.

[FueledByFrodo]

I'd venture to guess that most of those bands have official threads.

[FullCollaspe]

Yeah, are they going to release something this year?

[BotchtheLocust]

Response to FueledbyFrodo: A lot of them are broken up. Including: Some Girls, At the Drive-In, Orchid, Swing Kids, The Plot, Drive Like Jehu, Give Up the Ghost, CAN, The Blood Brothers, Minor Threat... So, I just assumed none of them did.

[BotchtheLocust]

I'm not really sure, I think Ampere releases most of their stuff on vinyl first. And then people eventually just have to record their vinyl to digital. But to answer the question, I think they released a new one on the tour they're on now.

[c_rob2700]

Geoff Rickly, is that you?

[IWasHerHorse]

I like all of those orginal bands posted except Can and Robotosaurus, who I've never heard of.

[Jumpoff]

I like all of those orginal bands posted except Can and Robotosaurus, who I've never heard of.

Can is a progressive krautrock band. They are pretty much THE krautrock band. They don't really fit with the list at all though haha

[FullCollaspe]

Their earlier stuff was better

[BotchtheLocust]

Haha, yea I know CAN doesn't really fit in the list. Those are just the bands I've been listening to a lot lately. Yea, I think Ampere's first album is their best. Have you heard Off Minor?

[BotchtheLocust]

And Robotosaurus is a grindcore/mathcore band from Australia. www.myspace.com/robotosaurus

[TeamAllison]

Sometimes I listen to The Locust when I don't give a fuck and want to yell at people, but I still want to seem smart by listening to technical drumming.

[BotchtheLocust]

Haha, I love the Locust whenever. I've just been real into anything that has interesting usage of time signatures lately. And anything abrasive yet creative.

[TeamAllison]

While it infuriates me and I hate it, The Fall Of Troy changes their time signatures every three seconds if you're looking for that. Abrasive...hmmm...do you like Converge? Dillinger? Those kinds of bands?

[IWasHerHorse]

The Locust rules, Plague Soundscapes is a great album.

[BotchtheLocust]

It actually irritates me that still so many bands just play in 4/4. As both a musician and a music enthusiast I enjoy to hear bands change things up. Not that I don't listen to bands the play in 4/4, everyone does. I don't really know where this is going...

I like all three of those bands. I didn't like how poppy TFOT made their last 2 albums. Their self titled and Doppelganger are bitchin imo though. I don't really like Converge's new stuff. Or Dillinger's new stuff. Calculating Infinity is my fav Dillinger album. Have you ever heard Genghis Tron?

Hell yes, I love the self titled Locust LP also. I just got it on vinyl. :D

[Regards]

I used to listen to almost all those bands a year or two ago, but not so much anymore.

[GoWaitInTheCar]

Quite a few of those I like, yes.

[PenThrive]

The Mars Volta & Fugazi

[xerickx24]

[mht]

Geoff Rickly, is that you?

[SwiftSilentDead]

Botch
Give Up the Ghost
Fugazi
Minor Threat


I like those ones.

[inuewiwedem]

:nod:

Only correct post so far

[BotchtheLocust]

and the others... either i don't like, or haven't heard enough to have a good opinion.

you ever seen the locust live?

No, I've really wanted to for a while. I've never seen their dates include my area. They don't do clear channel venues and like all of the venues around here are clear channel. Kinda sucks.

[bard]

yeah, i understand why they do that, but it sucks for the fans that can't help that there are no good venues around.

either way, i'm sure you know that you HAVE to see them at some point. they were incredible.

[BotchtheLocust]

I dug Headwound City, wish it would have been a long album.

Oh brother MHT, your comment doesn't even merit a long response.

[BotchtheLocust]

Oh yes, their live show looks way sweet. I'll have to venture out to another state to see them.

I tried liking Drive Like Jehu once.

[Losing Streak]

ADTI is the greatest band ever to come out of my state. Anyone who likes them is a cool person to me no matter how much of a douche bag they might be in any other aspect of life.

Minor Threat is classic too.

[kbi the crowing]

not really that related to this forum but since Botch is on here...
I have a chance to go see These Arms Are Snakes next month, are they worth going to see live?
I haven't listened to them much

[Neo Cassady]

No.

[Jordan_Huyser]

I've actually never heard of any of those bands. What music genre do they fall into?

[Charles777]

The Mars Volta are amazing and Blood Brothers are awful

[Jumpoff]

I tried liking Drive Like Jehu once.

Should try again. Awesome band

[myplanforescape]

I listen to The Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower, Drive Like Jehu, and Blood Brothers regularly.

[EastCoastLights]

give up the ghost rules

but i like to call them american nightmare

[Poe-tryGirl]

I like The Mars Volta.

I dig these bands. Some of the others I haven't been too familiar with to have an opinion of (I did listen to a Can album once, but that was a long time ago).

[chipdip18]

Should try again. Awesome band

Where to start?

[xAnti-Violentx]

I used to love Minor Threat... but right now they're just some band i used to listen to. Can't somehow relate to their music anymore.

[llwilliamsll]

You break edge?

[Jumpoff]

Where to start?

Yank Crime.

[chipdip18]

Yank Crime.

Is that their only one?

[Jumpoff]

Is that their only one?

Nah they have a self titled too. Yank Crime is essentially "the" album though. I really hated it the frist time I heard it though.

Haha well then i'll try to be patient.

[Jumpoff]

Haha well then i'll try to be patient.

Haha I'm not much of a patient person to be honest. I hated it two songs in and turned it off. Waited a year, and checked it out again. THen started loving it.

[shit stroll]

i don't know what the fuck this thread is about but i saw an akimbo name drop so i'm down.

[Jumpoff]

i don't know what the fuck this thread is about but i read an akimbo name drop so i'm down.

Did you like Jersey Shore? I personally hated it.

[shit stroll]

Did you like Jersey Shore? I personally hated it.
actually that is the only akimbo album i haven't listened to but i've heard negative things.

[SwiftSilentDead]

No more Husker Du avatar? :-(

[chipdip18]

I see, well i'll let you know what i make of it in a few minutes.
