That album is badass. La Grima is the earliest recording I could remember featuring really noisy, distorted guitar work.
But European Echoes exceeds it in sheer heaviness. And there's Derek Bailey somewhere in there.

Yup, Bailey's got a righteous solo that's pretty clear in the beginning but he gets lost in the madness like everyone else does.

Back on topic, I think that punk's ideals have grown to be something of a cliche at this point with teenagers picking it up every generation. I don't think that it's a bad thing necessarily, but when a punk band sounds like 98% of the other punk bands in his area, it's hard for me not to laugh when they start to use words like "unorthodox".

I kinda meant "unorthodox" more along the lines of emracing taboo subjects. How relevant that is in today's punk is questionable though.

The majority of the punk I listen to is post-hardcore though. Not a lot of generic bands there.

It's just about the music and the fun you have playing it.

Also very true

I mean yeah, it didn't turn out exactly how I wanted it to.

It's fine though we covered interesting topics enough.

Punk is old and dead, it's philosophy belongs in the graveyard with the genre.

I was a skatepunk when I was younger listening to Black Flag ect, but it's time has long passed, kids today have their own stuff. Let punk RIP

[The Batlord]

Now you're a boardpunk?

[GuD]

I was a punk but now I'm not therefore everyone who thinks they're a punk is now not.


For seers though you people ****ing depress me.
