They keep their tempos speedy, like HC, but the crumbling disaster of their guitar sound matches some of the bands already mentioned.

The last one definitely has a Jesus Lizard feel to it. Lead singer sounds like he's drunk now instead of on fire, songs are longer, slower. It's the best thing they've done but for some that might be faint praise...

cockcleaner EP = this shouldn't be so hard to like. just six songs; four of them under two minutes each. fairly decent (and decently sized) big black-minus-roland guitar and drum churn. hey, i lived in the midwest in the '80s, i'm allowed to be nostalgic about that stupid kinda pigfuck shit. (the typography and album art even look like big black. though the "without the roland" would be better WITH the roland -- maybe this is rapeman or shellac nostalgia rather than big black nostalgia*? haven't listened to a rapeman or shellac record in eons, so i have no idea.) but the vocals are rigid and humorless, and unlike albini's in big black they don't push the songs into your face, and mixing them so low makes them even more annoying. fuck it.
* -- CD insert thing also compares them to flipper, which is baloney. are pissed jeans this shitty, too? if so, i'm not missing anything.

In other news, I have decided that I sort of like Pissed Jeans. The 12-inch EP on their own label is better than the Subpop 45, though.
-- xhuxk (fakemai...), September 15th, 2006.
(Though then again, the people who compare Pissed Jeans to Flipper really overstate things. They're nowhere near that good. Possibly as good as Scratch Acid or Killdozer though, which is no insult. I guess the people who say Flipper are concentrating on their guitar sound, and the fact that their lyrics about being sick and desiring boring girls and cigarette butts on the ground at the mall and being ashamed of their own cum and having an ugly twin seem to have some semblance of vulnerabilty and neurosis [the substance, not the band] and heart to them. Which is good. But Flipper were a way catchier.) -- xhuxk (fakemai...), September 15th, 2006.

although they are friends of mine, I think STNNNG is operating at about as high a level both recording wise and live as any currently active band...for me at least...they had their CD release party for their new CD yesterday at the 7th St. Entry....Shellac actually came up for Chicago for the all-age early show to be a surprise opener, I know Albini and Weston are big fans....I just heard that Shannon Selberg from the Cows was up front watching right in front of the stage for the entire late show...so they seem to have the stamp of approval from some of the big wigs in the genre...
but yeah anyway their new album Fake Fake is really specular...as is their one from last year, Dignified Sissy (scott I believe I sent you a copy once, not sure if you liked it or listened to it, but I think they are well worth checking out...
http://www.myspace.com/stnnng
has some traxx, including one - hybrid animal - off the first album.
if you have a chance to see them, they are absolutely killer live.

the band i was in got a lot of jesus lizard comparisons... i think i'll spare myself the embarassment.
amrep resurgences have been around for sure. start with vaz or arab on radar. (vaz are ex-amrep.)
also, today is the day = amrep. (the good records at least.) and the daughters latest is very amrep noise rock.
battleship are great, but the clear sound of the bass thumps align differently.
not all t&g = pigfuck right?
fuck embarassment, here, the band i was in:http://www.myspace.com/noparty "reclusive"those vocals are not me. my vox were way more nerd weird. songs about magic the gathering, d&d, rock crit, and the alphabet but to this toughish music. this new singer guy was all pals with unsane and all and wrote more disturbing lyrics. insert laff track.
rambling aside... pigfuck to me has more 'tude than anything, right? not so much the quantity of distortion in your bass's hoo haw, but the amount of toilet floor lint on your teeth. m.

for nu-Am Rep, I like The Blind Shake a lot...their album came out last year....they have now partnered up with Michael Yonkers and have an album coming out of new Yonkers songs where they are his backing band....heard a song off it, and it sounds fucking devastatin' percolatin'....

Yow, that actually sounds more interesting to me than Pissed Jeans, or pigfuck (nu- or old-skool) in general, despite my affection for the Stunning and some of what I suppose could count as PROTO-pigfuck (per xhuxk above -- Flipper esp). Cheers.

it's probably for the best they broke up, writing or talking about or even going to the record store to buy their new record (if it even gets released) it will be forever awkward. i certainly won't be smashing my drunkdriver records any time soon, but it's a weird space between not wanting to say something off-colour about a rape and being sad one of your favourite bands broke up.
Though I pretty much think at this point, no one is gonna touch it with a 10-foot pole.
in some ways this is a real shame, especially for the rest of the band. blegh this is weird.
