| The Fall Mansion This Nation's Saving Grace Beggars Banquet 1985 Hello!
|
10:04 PM |
| Josef K Sense of Guilt Entomology Domino Recording Co 2006 Scottish post-punk band from the late 70s. Heavily influenced by the writings of Franz Kafka, the band name itself taken from the main character from the author's work "The Trial". |
10:07 PM |
| The Feelies Moscow Nights Crazy Rhythms Domino Recording Co 2009 1980 debut LP from this New Jersey post-punk band. Commercially overlooked in their time but certainly influential with many college rock acts that would follow later that decade. |
10:11 PM |
| Bauhaus Dancing Bauhaus - 1979-1983 Volume One Beggars Banquet 1986 "Dancing" was first included in the band's second studio LP "Mask" from 1981 and saw the band incorporate saxophone on select cuts. |
10:14 PM |
| Isolation Ward Illusions Point Final LTM Recordings 2009 Belgian post-punk band formed in 1979 and heavily inspired by Joy Division. Lumped into the Cold Wave movement of the late 70s and early 80s used to denote European bands that recorded chilly post-punk. |
10:17 PM |
| The Lines Bucket Brigade Flood Bank Acute Records 2008 Late 70s/early 80s English post-punk band. Not to be confused with the late 2000s indie rock band by the same name. Seriously overlooked post-punk; thank your deity for these Acute releases collecting the band's works. |
10:26 PM |
| Minimal Man Two People The Shroud Of LTM Publishing 1980 Debut LP from this haunting experimental San Francisco-based post-punk band. Line-up at one point consisted of members from Tuxedomoon. |
10:28 PM |
| Tuxedomoon Fifth Column Half-Mute / Scream With a View CramBoy 1987 More experimental San Francisco-based post-punk from 1980. Originally released on The Residents' Ralph Records label. |

10:37 PM |
| Burnt Skull Harm Sewer Birth 12XU 2014 Only full-length release from this Austin noise-rock band. C'mon, were you expecting something else with a cut titled "Harm" from the album "Sewer Birth" by a band named Burnt Skull? Sunshine and lollipops. |
10:39 PM |
| Daughters Long Road, No Turns You Won't Get What You Want Ipecac Recordings / Liberator Music 2018 One of my top releases from 2018. Rhode Island noise rock band that incorporates elements of sludge and grindcore with hopeless lyrics to create a suffocating feel (at least on this release). |
10:50 PM |
| The Fall Monocard Ersatz GB Cherry Red Records 2011 28th studio LP from Mark E. Smith and company, which would turn out to be one of the most consistent versions of the band he'd put together. |
10:57 PM |
| Glenn Branca Structure The Ascension Systems Neutralizers 1981 Avant-garde guitarist and founding member of the No Wave band Theoretical Girls. "The Ascension" was his debut studio LP partly influenced by John Coltrane. In turn, this album would go on to influence Swans and Sonic Youth (Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth is credited on this release). |
11:01 PM |
| Qui New Orleans Love's Miracle Ipecac Recordings 2007 Collaboration between Los Angeles noise-rock duo Qui with Scratch Acid/The Jesus Lizard frontman David Yow on vocals. Missed out on a chance to see them many years ago at Club Congress. One of the few ragrets in my life. |
11:05 PM |
| Shellac Disgrace Terraform Touch and Go Records 1998 Second studio LP from Steve Albini, Todd Trainer, and Bob Weston, self-described "minimalist rock trio". |
11:07 PM |
| Zeni Geva Dead Sun Rising Desire for Agony Alternative Tentacles 1993 Heavy noise-rock from Japan. Recorded by Steve Albini, noted member of Shellac. |
11:10 PM |
| Big'n Like a Killer Spare the Horses - EP Africantape 2011 Illinois noise-rock band heavily active throughout the 90s and disbanded in 1997. Reunited a decade or so later and started recording again. |
11:14 PM |
| Deftones Rx Queen White Pony Maverick 2000 Yes, it's the Deftones, a cut from the band's experimental third studio LP and one heavily influenced by The Cure. |
11:18 PM |
| Godflesh New Dark Ages A World Lit Only By Fire Avalanche Recordings 2017 Experimental industrial metal (or whatever labels your prefer) band formed by Napalm Death founder Justin Broadrick. |
11:28 PM |
| Iron Maiden Hallowed Be Thy Name The Number of the Beast Parlophone UK 2015 You hear about that principal in Canada that some parents wanted fired because she posted a pic of herself wearing Iron Maiden gear outside a stadium prior to a Maiden show? What's up with that? |
11:36 PM |
| Living Colour Funny Vibe Vivid Epic 1988 So Living Colour is now associated in the mainstream pop culture with wrestler CM Punk, as "Cult of Personality" - a great song in its own right - has been Punk's entrance theme for years. Don't sleep on other Living Colour cuts, |
11:40 PM |
| Melvins Suicide in Progress Nude with Boots Ipecac Recordings 2008 Another band that rolls through Tucson on occasion. Following my move to Tucson, kept missing the Melvins live. Finally got a chance to see them and my penance is to never miss them moving forward. |
11:48 PM |
| Oneida Captain Bo Dignifies the Aligations With a Response Secret Wars Jagjaguwar 2004 Experimental band based out of Brooklyn. |
11:50 PM |
| Tiger! Shit! Tiger! Tiger! Forever Young Forever Young To Lose La Track 2013 Quirky Italian band whose band name you can't say on American radio (maybe some other countries, too; we're pretty puritanical here). |
