I think the term “noise-rock” is pretty dumb, but I can’t seem to get enough of it these days.
This album is pretty great, a little heavy on the song intros, but good.
Go can download the entire album for “Name Your Own Price” from the band’s bandcamp page or buy a vinyl copy.
New Whores. I’ve listened to nothing but this single song for the last 30 minutes.
Go buy it, and while you’re at it buy their last album too. It just got a vinyl repress on clear with gold haze.
I wasn’t as into the album this song is from (Rotten Thing To Say) when it came out as I was the band’s previous releases. It just didn’t sound the same, so I forgot about. Listening to it again, I think what probably turned me off was that the production (by Kurt Ballou) didn’t sound like shit.
Listening to the two albums back to back, Songs For Burning Lovers sounds like it was recorded on a boombox. Its still a great album, there is no question about that, but the production can’t touch Rotten Thing To Say.
Go buy things and see them live every chance you get, you will not be disappointed.
Everytime I think I’ve got a song picked to post, the next song on the album plays and I have to rethink what I’m putting up. The entire album is great. It reminds me a lot of the hardcore/metal of the late 90s/ early 00s. This song is on the fast side, but they have plenty of sludge on the album. Go buy the album, it is fantastic.
Torche turns the dial from pop back to sludge. Crusher.

I need more of this. Go buy it.
New Ladder Devils.This things crushes. Its from a new split 7" with Helms Alee.
I’ve got mixed feelings about the title of Drug Church’s album, “Paul Walker,” but the songs are fantastic.
I want to dislike this band so much. Their name is terrible and so very long. They have Tim Kinsella-ish barely listenable vocals at times. There are like 8 or 9 people in the band. They are just so goddamn earnest. And of course the whole “emo” thing, it was an uncomfortable label in 97 and it should be now too.
But damnit, I can not stop listening to this song or the record its on. You hooked me you sons of bitches. Nice work.
Former members of fantastic French band Daitro, turning down the yelling and turning up the 90s indie/emo thing.
There was a time that Milemarker was one of my absolute favorite bands. I always overlooked this song though. Its nearly eleven minutes long and there is no shouting, so I skipped it. But listening to it again (and again as it turns out) its every bit has heavy as anything the band ever did.
