Well first off, hello new to the forum. Just read this entire thread, surprised to not have seen Elliot mentioned. False Cathedrals is one of my favorite records of all time. Very happy to see Slint mentioned, most people I know have mysteriously never heard of them, and I hang out with the type of kids who name drop bands as matter of course. If anyone remembers Doghouse records, I worked there in the early 00's, will have to dig out some of the rare stuff I have on vinyl and post some pics. Speaking of which, as I am currently in Bloomington Indiana, and worked at Doghouse, Chamberlain anyone?
Just dug through the records I brought with me, had to put the rest in storage during my PhD.
Again shocked to see some bands omitted:
Portrait
Envy
Arab on Radar
Combat Wounded Veteran
His Hero is Gone
Milemarker
Then stuff that I listen to that sorta fits with this thread, although not to the letter:
Forstella Ford
Saetia
You and I
Racebannon
Mara'akate
Neil Perry
Usurp Synapse
Holy Molar
Swing Kids
Hot Cross
Melt Banana
Light the Fuse and Run
The Assistant
Orchid
Bucket Full of Teeth
Clickitat Ikatowi
Transistor Transistor
12 Hour Turn
and many many more...
I really don't know where to place these bands, genre naming conventions stopped making sense to me after I heard someone call something "emo violence art noise" I always just called it emo, but I guess that word is probably a pejorative around this forum.
Well, that is it for now, love to talk music hit me up.
HI, hope to learn a lot from everyone here, so far it has been daunting but informative.
