The Locust ( anyone like these guys?-- What are your thoughts on them? )

Fuckin' get it ASAP man! if there was a Locust lp around here, I would snatch that shit up quicker than... an eagle!

John Violence · 10.26.2006, 09:16 PM

I saw them play about a year ago. They were really good.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 10.26.2006, 09:34 PM

When the Locust CD was in the bin at wrct (at radio stations, the bin is a place for keeping new music, you have to do 3 bin cuts an hour at WRCT) We'd play it to get a bin cut out of the way since every song was about 15-30 seconds long. Other than that, I don't think any of us were a big fan.

I've heard Plague Soundscapes, but it didn't/doesn't impress me much.

HaydenAsche · 10.26.2006, 10:27 PM

That LP isn't that great. Plague Soundscapes is their best and they are fairly childish and boring.

Everyneurotic · 10.26.2006, 10:36 PM

i love them, but of course, they should be taken in small doses. plague soundscapes is awesome, all aggressive, with odd time signatures and keyboards galore; safety second body last is kinda like dark ambient with little jolts of spazzy punkiness.

Blah. Not to sound hip, but this band was great about 6 years ago. Now.. eh.

Adam,

It's okay to sound hip when you are hip.

they suck giant assssssssss, i saw them in 2004 and they were crap.

dazedcola · 10.29.2006, 12:31 PM

my friend turned me onto them last time he came up here. From what i heard i really liked. in fact there was this great song they did that was 45 seconds long that started off noisy but then had this great rock melody to it, but i cant ever find it and it drove me crazy for a while.

I love them.

noisemachine · 10.29.2006, 02:46 PM

I saw them at the 2005 San Diego street scene festival. They were one of the first acts to play and a lot of people not knowing who they were were at the stage before they went on. 2 minutes into their set, about 90% of the people there had left. Very very loud, and really not my thing. Kind of interesting but not a band I would rush to see again.

i love 'an albatross', i need to hear more of them though.

HaydenAsche · 10.30.2006, 09:44 AM

Seeing them live is the only reason I consider them decent. Their records don't come close to their live performances.

Everyneurotic · 10.30.2006, 09:52 AM

again, an albatross and xbxrx are very different. it's like comparing big business to lightning bolt (same format, different music, uncomparable).
