hahahaha

try:

los llamarada
howling ghost proletarians
sick llama
you probably know them but: the goslings.

i don't know them, congrats to you too

it only works when the shit quality results situationally (ie the band has absolutely no money for recording)
when people try and sound like shit on purpose...no.

I agree.

I don't really like anything I've heard after Rock Laahausta Vastaan and Terveet Kadet II. Keep in mind I haven't heard everything they put out after those two. But, they're definitely two of my favorite things to listen to.

one of my all time favorites right there. just ordered a shit load of their vinyl off amazon.

Time to bump this shit.

Here are some awesome old shitty sounding band from the 90s, i guess they slipped under radars at the time.

Shit-Fi. com and agonyshorthand are a good read.

Do you have any records by The Brentwoods?

Absolute awesomeness.

I remember seeing Medicine open for White Zombie in the late 80s. That was just pigfuck central.

here's some more shit love for you:

The Phantom Pregnancies
http://www.myspace.com/phantompregnancies

Haha, that was great!

Did anyone around London in the late 80s get to catch Bone Cancer doing that gig in a sewer? Heard they positively oozed into the pigfuck that night.

harry pussy was amazing, cant stress that enough. all their records, even their fill lenthgs, what was music?, ride a dove, sound like loud as fuck live shows with non-tuned instruments. they definitley straddle the lines between noise rock hardcore and harsh noise for a sound that is absoutley fucking brutal.

depending on the music, i absolutley love dirt poor zero plished grimey as fuck recording. meaning, like hardcore, grindcore, noise rock, some black metal, half japanese type-indie punk, noisecore, etc., are all better off with cheap recording. but i woudlnt wanna listen to 'pet sounds' if it wasnt for that crisp production.

more nice no fi/grimey shit:
royal trux (duh)
shearing pinx
venom-black metal
bad brains-ROIR
agnostic front-victim in pain
black flag-nervous breakdown
brainbombs
dropdead
charles bronson
spazz
early napalm death
crass
gg allin
conflict
nausea
rudimentary peni
suicide-s/t (more lo-fi but whatever)
springsteen-nebraska (se above)
anti cimex
disfear
s.o.b.
the crucifucks
ex cocaine
teenage jesus

If anyone has the album by The Brentwoods and would be so kind to up it I'd really appreciate it, thanks.

it seems it goes for £20 or £30 on ebay

No-fi or lo-fi should never be used as an excuse to make something that sucks. With bands like Times New Viking and Tyvek and Eat Skull and Psychedelic Horseshit getting more interest from people now, I'm anticipating a wave of second-wave mimicries that are gonna fail, but still try to pass themselves off as passable at least...just like what happened following the wave of acclaim for Pavement and Guided By Voices so many years ago, resulting in "lo-fi" becoming recognized as a genre by the media.

The point is that you do the best with what circumstances you have, and even if you're broke, you make do and hopefully find awesome results. And even if you are rich and you choose to be lo-fi on purpose, if you know what you're doing, you can make it sound excellent regardless.....just so long as you don't suck in some other aspect of record-making.

Hopefully your label will at least pay extra so as not to have Aardvark master that shit. Or else your cymbals are gonna sound like radio static, and that's not a sound that works for many bands. That's squandered some potentially great records.

I'd make you a list of what's good here now, but I already do that every week with the AFS playlists. Most of that's pretty budget or downright slummy.

I'll check ebay for that record.

DJ Rick, when are the Pink Reason 7'' singles going to be reissued? Also, when is/are Pink Reason going to tour the UK again?
