Best snotty garage guitar music of the last fifteen years...

sartana [Edit] [Delete] 54 replies 09:52 September 28th, 2012

I guess there was a bit of a garage revival at the end of the nineties, which has kept some momentum, and has resulted in some pretty great records.

This is the post where you list them - then I might put a playlist together.

Mainstays welcome, but obscure gems especially sought (it is a genre that lends itself well to obscure gems).

Eddy Current Supression Ring "Primary Colours" (2008)

Just love this record. It just sums up the devil may care recklessness of snotty guitar, but without forgetting the hooks and catchphrases. This also a nice humility to it - "I admit my faults", "I still don't know, which way to go".

"Which Way To Go" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIX6YbpJ5wM

The Ponys "Laced With Romance" (2003)

Wonderful egocentric, nihilistic garage ("Let's Kill Ourselves", "I Love You Cause You Look Like Me"). Again, ringing with fantastic hooks all over. Pony's second album, Celebration Castle was also great, but then Ian Adams, guitarist and keyboardist moved on, and they were never quite the same again.

"Sad Eyes (live)" http://youtu.be/xM1j-HV562c

The Black Lips "Good Bad Not Evil" (2007)

The Black Lips present their garage in an authentic sixties mold. This album is pretty varied - it even has a country number.

the Obits - Moody, Standard and Poor?

Awesome Color?

- Hot Snakes - "Audit In Progress"
  
  was better, they had more energy. The Obits sound strangely tired in comparison. Average drummer maybe?

Obits are great

Marked Men - Fix My Brain is even more great. Seriously.

The Ty Segall Band album Slaughterhouse is awesome

It was only released a few months ago but a great example of loud, fuck-everything garage

Puffy Areolas

Their In The Army 1981 LP is awesome. Bit more on the blown out and psyche-y side but still fairly snotty!

Tyvek is also great (the guitarist in Puffy Areolas was in Tyvek first). Their two main LPs are great but my favourite is Skyin' which is a collection of really early recordings
