Black and Doom metal, Mika (The "singer") left recently so the future for Gallhammer is uncertain but some of their stuff is unbelievably heavy.


One of the best bands in the world right now. I cannot get over how good these two girls are, looks like that new permanent male drummer can actually keep up too so now they have a drummer worthy of them.


A bit modern Emo for me, but damn I fucking love this song.


There's a video for this but they cut out the swearing and the bass is a bit muted and OH MY GOD that bass line and that guitar attack... one of the best covers ever recorded.


A little heavy in the morning perhaps, when a more melodic sensibility hits math.


I've thought a time or two of just spamming this thread with everything Elvis Costello ever recorded. I haven't yet. For the record to mind this is the only Elvis ever worth shit.


This band formed the back bone of genuinely good (third wave) emo in the late 90's early 2000's. I wish "Emo" now sounded this good and yes I'm still in love with Caithlin.


On the point of Nostalgia:
This singer from this band was in one of the most avant-garde and important bands of the 90's. This isn't that band but fuck do RFTC rock.


Lump and Peaches may be more popular but nothing brings a smile to my face like Kitty from 1990's Seattle's forgotten sons. Fuck you kitty your gonna spend the night outside.

Gang of Four - The post punk revival all sounds like weak versions of this one band (or joy division). Love Like Anthrax is still the best name for a song I've ever heard and its still one of the best songs I've ever heard.



Wire - Reuters, Horrifically ignored if never underrated. I love that build to that feedback laden riff that seems like release but just adds more tension.


Can - Mushroom, Tago Mago was the first album I got stoned to, this song was the first song I played the last time I got stoned too... its now a trip on its own.


Neu! - Isi, Minimalism at its very finest expression in music, Post Rock bands obviously spend a lot of time listening to this though few ever match its beauty.


Public Image Limited - Rise, not as noisy as the early PiL template but I swear Lydon never hit back so eloquently as he does here.


Bauhaus - Bella Lugosi's Dead, we had the cure the other day, I figured we should have one of the other cornerstones of the post punk movement that became Goth... not that goth ever sounded this good again.


Mission of Burma - That's How I Escaped My Certain Fate, comming from a scene and lineage that produced nothing but stunning bands and music Mission still stand as a high watermark.


Fugazi - Waiting Room and Repeater, What happens when hardcore punk got hold of post punk, one of the most inspiring bands of the last 30 years, containing members of some of the best bands of the time too.
