Hate to jump on the bandwagon, but these are not noise.
!Forward, Russia! is definitely post punk revival.
Q & Not U- indie dance punk
These Arms Are Snake- probably post-hardcore

If you want some good noise (and i mean noise, noise rock, not noise pop, etc.),
check out prurient (part of the providence noise scene, which is worth a look into).
also, i like wake up snake, a short-lived charleston band that fell somewhere between post-hardcore and noise

Least somebody else sees what I'm talking about here. Loz, it's as bad as some of those generic metal bands that add operatic vocals and then all of a sudden are considered neo-classical.

If a normal verse-chorus-verse pop song + a bit of fuzz = noise music, then as of 2008 we're in sad sad territory.

Rainard Jalen

Times New Viking isn't really noise. It's straightforward indie pop with all the settings wrong on the mixing machine. Very wrong.

enemyat_thesix

nope, it's called Noise-pop.

I don't care WHAT you've heard it's called, your show-offery with your names comes off as comical more than it does clued-up or anything else.

TNV are not a noise band. It just so happens that their sound is very noisey. This is due to an extremely, comically lo-fi recording "aesthetic", if you can call it that (it's actually just turning up all the wrong dials). Underneath all the torturous noise is simply an indie pop band making bog standard indie pop music.

If anything, I'd accept describing the sound as "Deathfuzz".

Expletive Deleted

Uh, you do know that that's basically what all Noise Pop bands are?

Of course Times New Viking Noise aren't Noise in the traditional Merzbow/Massona/whatever sense, but they definitely fall under the Noise umbrella.

Besides, there are a lot of bands mentioned in this thread that are a lot further from Noise than TNV.

Rainard Jalen

No - but that's what a lot of people seem to refer to as "noise pop", which I think is a mislabeling if ever there was one. Just because something is comically fuzzy does not in my mind prove a sufficient condition for associating it with noise music.

Same answer - I just do not see that most fans of real noise music would particularly want poor standard indie trash like TNV under the umbrella, so to speak.

I agree, though when reading that post in particular TNV stood out like a sore thumb as I'd been listening to them quite extensively earlier on in the year and saw it for, imo, what it really was.

But I accept that these sorts of classifications are somewhat relative and there's room for debate - I appreciate the discussion, and not the idiotic insults of a certain other individual.
