Foetus is hands down one of my favorite musicians of all time but I wouldn't really describe him as noise. A handful of his songs would fit in that category but that's about it.

I personally would, though he is primarily seen as industrial he's so experimental its difficult at times to see him as anything but noise rock. Different strokes though.

I also forgor the great Japanese band Zeni Geva.. they need to be checked

times new viking are just a white boy indie band, but they are charming and fun and therefore i like them. i'm also going to see them live in May, but i still haven't heard the new record so i'll get on that ASAP! "Present the Paisley Reich" was very enjoyable to my ears though. some throwaway tunes, but some bitchin sh'it as well.

I saw them in November, they're really good live. They introduced every song by saying, "This song is about drugs". They did that at least 6 or 7 times.

There's just something about the whole bad production thing that bothers me. It just seems a bit fake to me , like they're desperate for a gimmick. I don't see how it adds to the music in any way.

The reason I feel TNV being lo-fi adds to their appeal, is because after years of listening to Pavement, Neutral Milk Hotel, Guided by Voices and 70's punk, I have the opposite mentality on music production of your average listener. Something lo-fi has a much better chance of making an impact as something well produced on me. There are countless bands I am introduced to that take a long time to get used to because they're not lo-fi (for example, Born Ruffians). It's a different story for genres that dont neccassarily lend themselves well to lo-fi (electronica) I'm basically reffering solely to simple guitar bass drums pop/rock groups (like TNV).

My best friend's sister is dating the Asian dude in HEALTH. It's actually kind of funny because she constantly denies that they're "popular," even though they're clearly getting pretty big.

They arent popular, although a free magazine in my area namedx them the best new band from California. Theyre kind of popular in the underground.

Does anybody have any Neptune stuff? Im intrigued by their instrumentation.
