Okay,slow day in work today..been going through a lot of old tapes and 7"s at home over the last while,and unearthed some stuff I hadn't listened to in a while.Kept thinking to myself how weird it is that some bands from the past are held up as almost iconic nowadays while certain other bands have been consigned to seemingly to the dustbin of history in spite of being way better.So I figured I'd start a thread for folks here to post about bands you feel have been ignored or overlooked in the past,that people should check out.
Underclass - This was Peet who went onto be in Narcosis and Hard to Swallow's old band I believe.Tortured screamy hardcore that kind of sounded like Born Against on crack..I have their s/t 7", not really sure what else they did,but it occasionally shows up on distro lists for cheap.Worth a listen if you can get a copy
Fuckface - pre Artimus Pyle I think.2 7"s and an Lp.The first 7" wasn't much use,but the second one "Bastard" I think it's called,is an absolute rager,the opening song is absolutely faceripping.The LP was on 6 weeks and dissappeared really quickly,I've never managed to get my hands on a copy..if anyone has it or anything,I'd love to hear it.
Gee Willickers - I completely forrgot about these until Ash was in my house going through tapes one day and I found them on the end of something.This was Padraic and Willie from DEBT's old band, total Senseless Things/Husker Du pop that was really catchy.There was a split tape with Vertical Urge (Byrneos and Burkie's old band) who were deadly as well..all I have left is 2 of the Gee Willickers songs though..
Enewetak - totally,criminally ignored yank brutality here,cut from the same cloth as bands like Unruh, Cattlepress and Creation is Crucifixion - in other words,brutal metallic grinding hardcore that was influenced by early Earache type stuff. This was long before production values,musical ability, emo clothes and being a poser came into it, when this kind of thing was the preserve of ugly,scruffy fuckers on tiny labels playing in basements. Discovered the first album via Glynn, and it still blows my fucking mind to this day whenever I listen to it.Second album was a bit shit though.Amazingly,they appear to be back together, but I can't hear the tunes on this computer www.myspace.com/supercrust
Fingerprint - French who I think were contemporaries of the better known (and equally godly) Anomie."Emo-crust" before "emo-crust" became a term people started using on message boards..Think a more melodic (I'm loathe to use the word "emo") Rorschach.There was a discography cd a while back you might still be able to get your hands on maybe? This band really are essential I reckon, but bizzarely they seem to be almost completely forgotten about.Listening to them now actually, some of the guitar work is almost like some modern black metal...weeeeiiird...
Harmony As One - These lads were the UK like the UK answer to Infest only darker and more metal in places,and the main guy Pete has since done Scalplock and Flyblown, both of whom are good,HArmony as One were something else.Two twelve inches and a post humous 7" called "Stranger in your own Land". I think there was talk fo a discography cd a few years back but it fell through..shame,these were amazing. If anyone has either of the two 12"s to get rid of,let me know.
more later....
