and clockcleaner's great, esp. live. i don't think the 7" or the lp do them justice. they have a 6 song demo for new stuff that totally blows the earlier stuff out of the water.

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.

Tractor Sex Fatality were working this angle a couple years back, as documented on the excellent "Black Magic, White Pussy" LP, but they've streamlined their sound/membership since.
What about Todd? More ex-Hammerhead stuff that's right in line with the soundz of yore. Nowhere near as interesting/catchy as Vaz, but funier, and they arguably rock harder.
I'm kinda questioning the "pigfuck" nameplate, too. While I hear a lot of bands aping the sound of late 80s Midwest post-hardcore, I don't see the same kind of confrontationalist creativity. If there are pigs present, they aren't really getting properly fucked.

Also thinking: Was grunge just what they called pig fuck in Seattle in 1990?
― filthy dylan, Saturday, 21 November 2009 06:14 (fourteen years ago) link
grunge was what we called pigfuck in 86 - by 90 it was something else
― a dimension you can only access through self-immolation (contenderizer), Saturday, 21 November 2009 06:22 (fourteen years ago) link
in the 80s grunge was anything with dirty/heavy gtrs... kilslug, dinosaur's 1st album, scientists.
seattle grunge was pigfuck minus the filth, desperation, & degradation. they took the sound but dropped the demented arty flourishes, being generally more trad in their rock styling. tad and the thrown ups were the closest seattle got to pigfuck.
I guess it starts looking like splitting hairs and narcissism of small differences if you weren't there, but at the time these equations were pretty clear:
sub pop 100 = pigfucksub pop 200 = grunge

have you ever seen them (tinsel teeth) live, edward? i ask not only because of their singer is a dildo-wielding blood covered goth freakazoid but because they're one of those bands that really blew me away live but were painfully boring on record. i only heard their demo though, hopefully the album will be an improvement.

i agree; a lot of the pressure/responsibility being thrown around is on a friend-basis. it's really weird that it's mostly playing out on the internet, but i guess it would be like if some regular ILXor did something really bad like this.

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.

not pigfuck per se, but dope body's 'natural history' is giving me some cows/jesus lizard vibes - along with some flipper/melvins plodding along the way - and helmet's notion of groove.
tho, in this case the confrontational posture of some of these bands is put aside for some welcoming goofiness...
