Fun Stuff > BAND
This is the thead where share and talk about our own music
David_Dovey:
I believe Southern Lord are mostly pushing the backened crustthrash bandwagon these days: Black Breath, Trap Them, Nails, Lebanon, and so on.
KharBevNor:
Is that popular? My inkling was that they lost their finger on the pulse of the fickle beard-rock zeitgeist when Wolves in the Throne Room managed to somehow gather critical acclaim without inspiring practically anyone to listen to any other USBM.
ALoveSupreme:
calling that pop-punk does not seem to register in any way that would make some sort of sense, but neither is calling it converge/isis-esque. C'mon, guys!
Also, does Primary Tones have two drummers and two bassists? Very Saddle Creek - 2002-ish to my ear, but I think this is the thread where everyone classifies everything poorly so maybe I am guilty as well.
leftandleaving:
Sean -- Yeahh, Fireworks For Luna formed 2 years ago, but we only played a few shows last year. Primary Tones, however, formed last year and we haven't gotten past the practice-in-the-basement-forever mode that comes with starting a band.
Also, in regards to Fireworks For Luna: I guess I should've noted that he WANTS the music to be Isis/Convergely, but that's certainly not how it turned out. Not that it was written to sound that way, either. Regardless, I like how it sounds and I certainly hear the pop-punk vibe, even if I disagree with that appraisal.
And on the Primary Tones recording, I received help from a host of different musicians for different songs (including a few different bassists and drummers), but the actual core band is only a three-piece. I've just always wanted to pretend I have an orchestra at a whim, so I do what I can to maintain a healthy delusion. Also, being compared to 2002-era Saddle Creek is totally great -- I've got some serious love for Desaparecidos and Ugly Organ-era Cursive.
Also, checking out some of these links: Khar, I'm liking the literary-themed album titles. I named my band, Primary Tones, after a line in the same Lovecraft story that I'm assuming you named The Blasted Heath after. Pretty great stuff.
KharBevNor:
Actually the specific reference of the title of The Blasted Heath is Shakespeare's Macbeth, which Lovecraft makes some reference to himself in The Colour Out of Space. There's another reference to Shakespeare on the same albuim, 'The Close Contriver of All Harms', which is a description of Hecate. There is, however, a direct Lovecraft reference on World War Zero, 'A Plain Discourse of Evil Powers', which comes from the pseudo-archaic sermon against the strange noises in the hills quoted in The Dunwich Horror, and was originally going to be the first track on an EP called 'The Dunwich Horror' with the tracks named something like: A Plain Discourse of Evil Powers, None Presided at His Coming, Rhythmical Crescendos of Unholy Anticipation, The Dunwich Horror. One of my many projects that fell by the wayside.
