Boredoms - Pop Tatari

Genre: Noise, Experimental
Year: 1992
About: This might just be one of the most adventurous albums i've ever heard, and that's saying something for this Japanese group. It has a punk energy to it. I warn you that this is a thoughtfully written, delightfully disgusting mass of chaos that I can totally dig. If you're looking for something new to add to your mix, maybe with a few wild shrieks thrown in, try this out. This one's a trip; a maniacal trip through your conciousness.

Wavves Discography

Genre: Lo-Fi, Noise, Pop Punk, Indie
About: Wavves are a lo-fi pop punk band from San Diego, and are led by lead singer/guitarist Nathan Williams (pictured above). Wavves were originally a two-piece band consisting of just Williams and Ryan Ulsh on drums. This line-up was consistent through their first two albums, until Williams experienced a public breakdown in mid-2009, in Spain, due to being fucked up on X and valium (psssssssh). He proceeded to get into a fight with Ulsh and insult the spanish crowd, who then pelted him with bottles and shoes. The next day, Williams apologized and admitted to being addicted to alcohol. Ulsh shortly left Wavves after the incident, and was replaced by Zach Hill (Hella, Team Sleep) for a short time. In November 2009, Hill left and Williams recruited Jay Reatard's former band members, which turned Wavves into a 3-piece band for the first time. Their sound is often considered to be just a noisy blink-182, and while sounding very much like the pop punk gods, Wavves still have enough creative energy to give themselves their own unique sound which should not be missed out on. Any lover of lo-fi jams or catchy noise punk tunes should definitely give Wavves a good listen.
