I have to confess that all I know about them are the T-shirts. And trainers.

Let's soulseek...

Liked the fact that they could do all-out thrashier material, but still have a good pop sensibility - hearing a tune like Hybrid Moments, the melody starts you thinking it's an old 50's tune and then you listen to the lyrics and you realise just how twisted it is. Angelfuck was another gem on that level.

That reminds me of Big Black, that anihilating guitar, but always quite excellent pop structure.

Never really thought of Big Black as having pop structures to be honest, but they were a classic band. That's the sort of music that got me interested in US post-punk/noise. Thought Rapeman had some quite catchy moments despite the unfortunate name

Yeah the Misfits IMO are ace, got into them cos they sounded like a chunkier ramones, find them a bit anthemiac [is that a word] at times but good tuneful punk all the same.

gotta agree w/ shonky. i love everything Albini touches, not sure if id call any of it "pop"

and as a further side note, shellac just played in my town. i sadly missed it

and i know its their most popular song, but i just adore these lyrics

"I've got something to say
I killed your baby today
And it doesn't matter much to me
As long as it's dead

I've got something to say
I raped your mother today
And it doesn't matter much to me
As long as she spread"

fantastic!!

yep, that was them. their self-titled album is probably the best. most notable is the track rocket usa.

let me know what you think

Big ups to the Albini massive. Loved that Shellac tune Wingwalker - the bit where he's shouting out "I'm a plane" in such an unbalanced way is genius.

Trying to remember if it's the tune Trouser Minnow off the Rapeman album with the best lines in a tune EVER

"Remember what it used to be like,
When all we did was eat and fuck,
I'll let you shave my pussy,
If you let me paint your dick"

Can't see them making the Rock'n'Roll hall of fame yet though. No justice.
