i've been listening to sonic youth lately and would like to hear some other noise rock bands. i particularly like the guitar freakout noise bands

Mad Melvin · #2

Try The Melvins.
Houdini is a good album to start with, I think.

Krythor · #3

Guitar Wolf, Melt Banana, and maybe all of the no wave No New York bands - DNA, Contortions, Teenage Jesus and the Jerks and Mars.

I second the Melvins too.

Protoclown · #4

Bass Wolf

i'm gonna go pour out a forty

GADZOOKS · #5

I don't know what noise-rock is but early Pere Ubu is noisy, but I doubt you would dig them, they are a hound band.

Big Black is pretty essential.

Pailhead (Ian McKaye/Al Jourgenson) has a similar sound too, but a bit more industrial anyways.

Rudimentary Peni, while not exactly in the 'noise' genre or whatever, has that kind of 'out-there' sound in some songs.

and Saccharine Trust, check them out.

The Jesus and Mary Chain - Psychocandy

Pop melodies and walls of feedback.

Kinski

Kind of like an instrumental Sonic Youth.

Black Flag · #14

yellow swans!

THE LOCUST!

The locust featuring members of Some girls and the swing kids are THE wierdest sonding noise rock band in HISTORY.

I personally like At the drive in, Sparta, and some earlier mars volta. I think judging from your taste you'll like earlier at the drive in when they were noisey art rock befor they went all hardcore.

locust are more like retarded grindcore :0

arab on radar are the best band ever. any of the post arab on radar lottery bands are good too, ie made in mexico, the chinese stars.

if you dig chinese stars see: six finger satellite. which is the band that pretty much started all this lightning bolt, arab on radar shit.

So your thinking closer to Jawbreaker, Fugazi, or Dinosaur Jr as noise rock? I would still say The Impossibles and At the Drive in are the best noise rock. If you don't mind the whiney emo voice Glassjaw is pretty good, do they even count as noise rock?

Pretty much anything on Gold Standard labs or dischord falls vaguely under noise rock.

noise rock should not even be used as a genre, because it is very misleading and almost every band in exisistance fits it.

i mean, feedback, interlogues, wacky pedal hijinks.

you might aswell call most emo bands noise haha. and shit like the mars volta. barf.

all i'm saying if i want to hear some fuzzed bass, wonky guitar lines, and somone singing like a girl about cocks, semen, wombs, retards & periods, i'll listen to arab on radar.
