Speaking of bands people never got into... How about Sonic Youth? Anybody into them at all? Where would one start with them? Daydream Nation?

I don't know...Goo might be the safest starting point and then if you are into Goo, go back through the SST catalogue? YMMV (obligatory TB opinion ender)

I love finding bands that I never heard of. Get to experience something for the first time. Better yet, new genres or pioneers of new genres. Example, I really hope all you guys know who Botch is. If not, do yourself a favor and start youtubing! They are great. I had no clue that type of music was out there. So much better than the watered down version of the genre that I had heard (all the Victory bands circa 2002).

That sounds killer. Really heavy, but not too muddy or overly compressed/glitchy sounding. What's the basis for the design, is it based off something existing or were you just mucking around?

Cool enclosure there as well.

I always wanted to get into Sonic Youth but the only album I ever bought was New York City Ghosts.
I like the record. I`m not sure how it sounds tho compared to the rest of their stuff.

JoeVictim · #**225** 11-20-2012, 01:51 PM

So, we got Eyeball on art duty, Corey is our master engineer, Dunwich builds it, now all we need is someone into screen printing and into vinyl pressing and we got our own little network of doomers!

Holy fvck balls! I love Botch!!!!!! One of my top bands of all time!! I got super into them right before they broke up. Great,great band!

I was super thrilled to see that the bassist from Botch joined Russian Circles. Killer bass player(I`ve been Gasing over a Gibby G-3 because of him).

It`s cool to see some one mention Botch here!!!

Goo is to Sonic Youth, as Dookie is to Green Day (sorry for the comparison, but I feel it's valid).

Both bands had several indie releases. Both records mark the turning point as the band's major label debut. Both records still have some elements of what made the bands famous, but you can feel some new production on it. Both records were pretty successful and still recognized by the underground following.

Goo was my first exposure to them, so maybe it just has the special place for me.

Cool. I'm halfway through Daydream Nation right now. Then I'll check out Goo. It's not bad so far. Not digging the Lou Reed vocal style on some of the stuff.

And Botch fvcking destroys!

matter of fact screw this I'm listening to Botch now haha
Then maybe some Snapcase, Candiria, HHIG, Fugazi...

Botch is fvcking killer, but Snapcase has a very dear place in my heart, ever since the first time i heard the intro to Caboose I was stuck on them.

My band finally recorded a new demo, its on a compilation from the label that put our our last record. Track 6 on the compilation, this was recorded live in my moms basement. Few little things i wish we could have fixed but for a live demo its ok. some other sweet bands on here like vulture, hollenlarm, and gaul.

Most company's never started from raw wood. Parts and pieces like the 3 I've hobbled together

Cool, I have a Meathead Dark clone, used to have one of the original early Meatheads before they went to a wait list. I had it cloned, then eventually converted to "dark", once they resale went craaaaazy. They all have that great tone of being insanely heavy, but you can still pick individual strings and palm mute without everything turning to mush. I hate them all on bass, but love it on guitar. My favorite fuzz of all time for guitar is the vintage FF clone my buddy threw together, just because he had leftover parts laying around and had made the PCB learning while learning how to etch.

I wouldn't say master, but I have a pretty good grasp of the fundamentals and a lot of free time to practice.

Fugazi!!!!!!!!! I love Fugazi. When I bought In on the Kill Taker I became a instant fan. I bought most of their other albums soon after. If you haven`t watched their dvd,I highly recommend it. I remember watching it with my buddy. We were sitting on the floor of my living room,drinking some beers. Just listening to Ian Macaye talk made us want to start a band.

I really like Snapcase. I wish I would have gotten into them a bit more before they broke up. Plus it`s always cool to have a good band from your home town.

JoeVictim · #**238** 11-20-2012, 02:35 PM

So, anyone hear what ever happened with our boys in Weedeater? Keko and Dixie still at it?

And Corey, don't be so modest. Everything you have ever posted sounds dope.

I'll have to check all these new links at home, but I am getting anxious!

Cool stuff man. You guys definitely took a different direction.

Same here, I never got to see them. I know the hometown feel bro, that's how i feel about Pig Destroyer and PG.99. I remember being 15 seeing both bands in the taylors (mike & chris from pg.99) basement packed with 80 people, it was a life changing experience.
