fatal flying guilloteens
 

Anyone a fan of this band?

Got into them a few years ago... I actually heard them the day I heard "nurse" for the first time.. I loved get knifed.. lights out has one of the best riffs ever..

Anyway, they kinda disappeared for a few years and they returned with the terribly-named new album "quantum fucking" on les savy fav's record label, french kiss records. All that combined meant that I was fearing the worst, but it's actually really fucking good!!!

Imagine an artier Jesus Lizard that's less restrained but has weirder riffs (taking a page from Beefheart territory at times...). Great record.. For fans of stuff like Drive Like Jehu and such.

Oh, and they're interesting because the guitarist messes up a LOT on the record (the riffs are usually pretty difficult, so it's understandable) but they don't try to fix it or anything and they just keep going. I love shit like that.

OH, and worth reading is the tinymixtapes negative review which makes me question if he's even heard the record:

Hmm. I'll have to check it out. Thanks, Adam.

No problem.

i like 'get knifed' but thats it. they just sound too garage rock revival-ish to me, i could be wrong but thats my conception of em. awesome band name though.

actually, yknow, i just put them on again, they have the perfect amount of garage rock, i like noisy stuff with blues smeared on top (royal trux being a long time favorite), ill buy more of their shit when i have money again

should check them out.
