Inspector_71 posted:Wait Pianos made you think of crust? Slow melodic dirge-like songs and tense vocals. It's not much of a leap from Pianos to some neocrust stuff like Ecocide or vestiges. Sure the lyrics are more nihilistic than self agonizing, but screamo->crust isnt that big of a leap in my opinion. Killsion posted:From there you can really go anywhere. I mentioned The Secret earlier so check out them and All Pigs Must Die. From Fall of Efrafa you can go more into dark neocrust like Dead to a Dying World or atmospheric sludge like Light Bearer. Dead do a dying world yesssss. I would also have to recommend nux vomica, vestiges, insuiciety, URO, witch hunt, Young and in the way and maybe omkara, depending on how krishna-y you like your crust.

Quantumfate posted:Fall and efafra and PBtT make me beg the quesiton: How do you feel about crust? I enjoy crust although I'm not entirely sure what defines it as a genre. I like Amebix for example, and Doom, but I'd be hardpressed to name other crust bands I like off the top of my head. In short, I don't feel I can answer your question, simply because I am not knowledgable about the genre. Light Bearer/Fall of Efafra/Momentum are all fantastic bands. I guess I forgot to mention loads of bands because I have already listened to bands like All Pigs Must Die, Botch, Trap Them and Narrows. Converge's new'un is by far one of my anticipated of 2012. I think I love that band a little too much.

I wouldn't really know how to define crust either. There's only one crust band that I really like, and that's Antischism. Not sure if they even count.

duck monster posted:Good news: The marjinal documentry got funded. Looking forward to a pretty amazing doco on one of the kings of third world punk. This is great news, keep us updated. bowmore posted:If I was just getting into listening to Punk/Hardcore/Emo music what would be the first 5 albums you would recommend me? This is a bit of a vague question as those categories cover an incredibly varied range of musical styles. As far as hardcore is concerned, you can't go wrong with a couple of solid discographies. I recommend getting started with Minor Threat's discography, which is basically what got me into American eighties hardcore. Other worthwhile hardcore bands of this time period are Black Flag, Bad Brains, Articles of Faith, Government Issue, Negative Approach and Uniform Choice (only their Screaming For Change album, though). In a somewhat similar vein, I'm partial to the late eighties band Insted, though they don't seem to get much love here. They also have a complete discography, called Proud Youth. Finally, for a recent hardcore example, there's Government Warning, which I've lately become enamoured of. Note that I generally want metal to stay out of my punk, so I don't know much about the heavier stuff. If you're looking for more traditional punk/Oi!, I would recommend mainstays like Stiff Little Fingers, Angelic Upstarts, the Oppressed, Sham 69, Cock Sparrer, the Cockney Rejects, Infa Riot and Funeral Dress to get you started.

bowmore posted:If I was just getting into listening to Punk/Hardcore/Emo music what would be the first 5 albums you would recommend me? Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit for Rotten Vegetables Propagandhi - Todays Empires Tomorrows Ashes Various Artists - Fat Music For Fat People Bad Religion - Stranger Than Fiction Pennywise - Full Circle (or Straight Ahead) I might cop some flak for including a Fat Wreck sampler but volumes 1 and 2 of the Fat Music series are two of my absolute favourite CDs, they introduced me to a lot of great bands and basically shaped my entire musical tastes. Any punk samplers (Fat Wreck, also Epitaph's Punk-o-Rama series) are generally very cheap and a great way of getting exposure to a ton of different bands and punk styles. Todays Empires I consider to be Propagandhi's best album (with Supporting Caste very closely behind it), their earlier albums were a lot simpler in the songwriting but the melodic/metal/hardcore elements they introduced from Todays Empires onwards really defines the band as a unique musical entity instead of being just another skate punk band.

Is this the part where I rattle off some ridiculously rad pop-punk albums that only two or three other people here have listened to? Because I"m gonna pretend it is. The entire Steinways discography (two albums and a comp of their singles) The Ergs - Dorkrockcorkrod The Hextalls - Call It A Comeback Sass Dragons - Bonkaroo and then not pop-punk at all but Dillinger Four's Midwestern Songs of the Americas. All ridiculously awesome albums.

It's one of their "Yeah go girl you can make it!" uplifting songs and I've never been the biggest fan of those tracks, this one appears to be no exception. I haven't really clicked with any of the albums after Home from Home, I like the darker sound of the earlier stuff and the only song in recent years that I have liked is Farewell My Hell which does resume a little of the dark guitars and lyrics. The happy stuff I don't mind if they're singing about scooters and poo poo like that, and they have always had a couple of soppy "your mum died, don't feel bad" positive songs but now it seems the balance has shifted to it being their primary output if this is the single they tease the album with.

This is strange, it is definitely a good album but I'm just weirded out by the change in singer. For me a very big part of Pennywise's sound was Jim's vocals, they just fit the lyrical content so well, especially the more reflective stuff like What if I and Alien, and while the new lead's vocals are still impressive it just doesn't (for me) give the band that slight edge that having Jim as a frontman provided. Before there was no problem identifying a Pennywise song even if I had never heard it before but now it could be any of a dozen punk bands in my playlist. It might become more familiar and identifiable with repeat listens and further output but I'm not sure, this is the first band that I have had to deal with a change in vocalist instead of a less prominent instrumentalist member being replaced which can be unnoticeable if they keep the same writing style. Have there been any other bands that you guys consider "big" in your own collection that have changed their singers? a) How did you react to the change and b) did the band last from that point onwards both from an overall fanbase view as well as your own?

It's true I wish they'd have gone with another name other than Pennywise for all the same reasons. I was also worried what we'd get was just an ignite album thankfully Zoli seems to have changed his vocal style to fit pennywise rather than the other way round. I think the 2 biggest frontman changes I've known would be The Misfits and The Gallows both bands that were identified by there singer, in The Misfits case it split there fanbase(I personally enjoy both Graves and Danzig material) and the jury is still out on The Gallows ...

Zoli's kind of a 180 degree change away from Jim, I had to re-read the newsstory back then at least twice until I my brain really processed the informations. He's pretty good with Ignite, but he just dosen't really fit in with Pennywise, event though both bands are playing pretty much the same kind of punkrock and both are tackling political issues... Perhaps I'll get used to it, just like I did with Tony as the new singer of Turbonegro. Speaking of, Turbonegro's new song's pretty great, makes me really look forward to the band's next full length record.

It was better than I expected it to be and it's because Zoli didn't do some of the crazy opera vocals he pulled with Ignite. I dug a fair amount of the riffs from Fletcher and that was good enough for me.

Should I discuss their music here or the indie rock thread?
