After hearing both of their albums (self-titled + remixes), I must say I need to see this band live, like now.

i should be seeing them in the next two days. they are pretty awesome, i feel we really have gotten to the stage where accessible noise makes perfect sense.

I've never really seen them as a noise group to be honest, just some nice harsh electro. It's the live drums that are the selling point for me, they're almost tribal and give them that unique feel.

these dudes are total noise, dude, courtship is such a crazy song, such awesome screams

I just downloaded their S/T, will give it a listen sometime.

New album is pretty badass isn't it?

New album is most definitely badass. One of the best albums I've heard lately.

get color is pretty good, more electronic/less abrasive than the s/t

they're doing this hilarious give-away in 66 copies of it when it comes out

Pitchfork: HEALTH Give Away Totally Insane Stuff

I may have to buy the album now.

I recently got sent Get Color and I remember I wasn't overly impressed by it, but that's more due to the fact that I didn't bother to read the bio on the band and expected something a bit different. That said I still kept the album because I believe in more than one listen (unless it truly doesn't agree with me).

Hi there I'm going to add to the HEALTH thread because out of all the newer bands I have been listening to these guys just totally stand out as powerful. Like they actually make me feel like I am being lifted to a higher place haha I just love the song We Are Water and Die Slow and Nice Girls man oh man.

What are your guys' opinions? Those who've heard the album, should I listen to Get Color or is it a waste of time?

In my top 5 for 2009 fer sure. 'Get Color' is everything I wanted their self-titled to be (not to say that that album doesn't have it's merits-I love it as well).

I only just heard about this band. They're good but it's hard to find them.

I've only listened to Get Color so far. I think it's great but i get what you mean about melody.

Just started listening to this band because of this thread. Good balance of melody with abstract sounds & great drums throughout. Really interesting. Hard to buy though - I guess if you're commercial & want to be easily found you dont call yourself Health!

Noise rock band from Los Angeles. They've only released two albums and did the soundtrack for Max Payne 3. I enjoy them quite a bit





And this one's from Max Payne 3.


Any love for Health out there?

Thanks.
