Bands that remind you why Rock & Roll is a life-affirming force

sean [Edit] [Delete] 31 replies 19:29, 9 November '13

You know, sometimes you get a little lost in rhythms and digital landscapes or epic post-rock, and you forget about that primal punch that comes from a punk-rock. Or how great it is to hear a riff that sounds like it's tearing the inside of your speaker.

For me, it's usually the opening bassline to Doolittle. It always happens when I hear Pretty Girls Make Graves, Blood Red Shoes or The Icarus Line. What has done it to you over the years or more recently?

p.s. Just announced, a special DiS relaunch party kinda event thing...

  • The incredible bassline of Primal Scream - Kowalski

    Also Accelerator, Kill All Hippies & Swastika Eyes; powerful songs that sound like a nuclear blast when they're played live. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXQ0Wrh_bjg

    Also the superb & fierce Fait Accompli by Curve: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9Plourz3Xs

    Also my favorite Pixies song, Monkey Gone to Heaven: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mK3iSglbZUM

    Or the unstoppable energy of a The Birthday Massacre song like Happy Birthday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NPgVESNjPg

  • Killing Joke - Requiem

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7WPI4TJImo

    I can't believe this song was released in 1980. It still sounds so fresh. Amazing!

    I am completely torn.

  • where are they playing?

    You can afford it - go

    Body_In_The_Thames @lemonbrickcombo | 9 Nov '13, 21:17 | X
  • I have a bit of a thing for the intro to Industrial Estate by The Fall.

    And I'm fully seconding Japandroids (Wet Hair) and The Stooges (1970) as they were my other joint-first-choices.

  • 1.2.3.4.

    Doesn't matter who says it, or what song is coming. It just works.

    Big arena tour. But they are such a force of nature live. Heard they've been playing Mexicola and The Bronze live as well.

  • Ok this setlist may have just edged it

    In The Fade, Long Slow Goodbye and Better Living Through Chemistry!!!!!... Fffffffffffffff

  • I'd pay €50 for that

    Body_In_The_Thames @lemonbrickcombo | 9 Nov '13, 23:22 | X
  • IF they cut the Era Vulgaris tracks for Autopilot and You Can't Quit Me Baby and brought Lanegan out

    I'd sell my kidney for that.

  • Came in here to say Brainbombs

    Also, The Ramones. If Rockaway Beach doesn't give you an adrenalin rush, you're probably dead.
