26/05/2020 List Thing

Wassup lads? This is a top whatever list of shit I like.

1# Suicidal Tendencies: a fairly well know cross-over thrash band, I prefer their early punk albums such as the self titled album and Join the Army, they're pretty good if you like a guy being really over the top and some good solos. (PS: AVOID STILL CYCO IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY RECORDED ON THEIR FIFTEEN MINUTE LUNCH BREAK)

2# Wavves: a really good lo-fi/rock band and a really ok pop punk band, listen to Wavvves and the unrealesed Babes (Also front man Nathan Williams is a landlord, so fuck him)

3# Dead Kennedys: They need no introduction, everyone even slighty into punk knows them, if you somehow don't know em I would recommend any of their albums, but Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables is probably the best.

4# M.D.C: M.D.C (Or Millions of Dead Cops) is an absolute classic punk band, I'm a fan of their first 2 albums, I haven't got around to listening to all of their stuff yet, but I'm working on it. Listen to the self titled album and Smoke Signals.

5# Bad Brains: Despite these guys being legendary in the punk scene, I've only heard their first album recently, but I did really like it and as such is on this list. I'd recommend an album or two here but I've only heard their first (self titled) album so go listen to that.

6# Conclusion: I'm bored of this now so I'm gonna stop, I know most/all of my recommendations are well known but what do you want from me the most obscure band I like I did an article about anyway so eh. I won't deny it though I do mainly listen to the same few albums on repeat, this is getting rambly now so bye, hope someone gives a fuck about this.

BONUS ROUND: I wasn't that bored clearly. This aint really a recommendation because it kinda sucks but the Wavves landlord guy did a demo in 2005 called TNDRNSS and I'm quite fond of it, it's probably mixture of Wavves was the first band I really liked and TNDRNSS sounding really nostalgic to me for some reason. He was also in a band in 2007 called Fantastic magic that only released one album called Withc Choir which I like a lot too, but it's an aquired taste. (aquired taste meaning you have to be an idiot) You may wonder why I know so much about this guy who I aint a fan of, because as said before I used to like this guy a rather lot for whatever reason and I listend to what I think is every song he's had a part in when I was 14, before I had much of an issues with landlords. Yes it was a weird and creepy obsession.

13/05/2020 Designerboys

Wassup lads? Recently I found this band called Designer/Designerboys/Desig69ner while looking for the de stijl pressing of the album Wavvves (By the band Wavves), instead I found an EP called wavvves and at first I thought it was a wavves release I hadn't heard of before, then I realised it had nothing to do with them and promtly listend to it. The EP contains 2 songs, Slowpoke and Magic C, the first being a fast distorted attack with impossible to understand lyrics, the second, while still fast is slower and is way easier to understand, although I still can't tell what the instruments are (maybe I'm an idiot who knows?) the EP is great imo I love how ballastic it is, it may have been better than the thing I was looking for in the first place.

I've heard their other stuff too and it's great, with their compilation cassette TOUR being my favourite. Sadly the last I could find them doing anything music related (and I couldn't even verify it) was way back in 2015, I would love more from these guys, but they've probably moved on. If you wanna check em out here's their bandcamp.
