Noise Rock

[John Kimble]

I had started a thread on this on Metalireland, and many of you were gracious enough to give me some great recommendations, but alas, MI is no more and I neglected to take note of much of what was offered. Oops, my bad. Anyway, please feel free to make some suggestions as to decent Noise(y) Rock offerings in the mould of classic AmRep material. Contemporary is preferable as I'm familiar enough with older stuff of this ilk, but that said, I may have overlooked some gems in the past so feel free to throw in whatever tickles your fancy...

Working on something vaguely in the heavier end of this spectrum currently

Really impressed with the standard of irish noise rock over the last few years - would love to see them play alongside metal bills as they seem to have their own isolated scene, gigs in Dublin are usually in Whelans, Drop Dead Twice or Bellobar.

Shifting and Gummidge, two Irish bands that did a split together who are class IMO:

Shifting side of split: https://shifting.bandcamp.com/track/voted-most-popular

Gummidge side of split: https://gummidge.bandcamp.com/

Shithatt are unreal too: https://shithatt.bandcamp.com/

and these boyos: https://vaticanii.bandcamp.com/releases

There's a lot of cross over of band members in these bands!

[Pentagrimes]

Gummidge and Vatican II are great alright. Shithatt always just struck me as more of a straight up grunge/Therapy? style thing than noise rock per se but they're cool, haven't actually heard Shifting but it's Matt from No Spill Blood/Hands Up so I really should.

I wouldn't have thought there's much of a scene for this kinda thing here really though. Are Crowhammer still going? They were pretty good

[John Kimble]

Great stuff lads, plenty to check out there

[THVS]

gonna be shameless and pimp the band

Sorry haven't logged in on this for ages! Aye Crowhammer are still going. Caught a gig of there's in Whelans back last May!

No Spill Blood and Hands Up Who Wants to Die, two savage bands in that scene. I would definitely consider it a sort of scene unto itself, usually a pretty good turnout at any of those gigs. A4 Studios seem to be another spot they play. The 'Scene' from what I gather,  is comprised of a lot of the bands that record in Guerilla Studios in East Wall.

Some other class bands that would be in the irish noise rock scene would be:

Ten Past Seven  - https://tenpastseven.bandcamp.com/album/highest-bands-in-ireland-split-7in

Video I took at one of their gigs about two years ago, hopefully they get into the studio to record this stuff:

Jogging - https://jogging.bandcamp.com/

Ger Mangan is on drums with the two last bands, unreal drummer!

Guilty Optics - https://guiltyoptics.bandcamp.com/

Ireland - Not really a noise rock band, but will play at some of the gigs, sometimes play random gigs up in Anseo. Can't find any links. Catch them live if you get the chance!!

Callous Crows - Big fan of these. On the grungy side of things, wouldn't be part of the scene at all, just two young lads around 20 or 21 who are really talented. They'll sometimes play gigs in Whelans or The Underground, and sometimes Fibbers. Awesome band to watch live, 2 members is all they need. Their latest release was class:
https://callouscrows.bandcamp.com/album/daisy-brain


There's probably some other bands I can't think of at the moment, will post here at some point when they come to me.

While most do record in Guerilla most of them also share a practice space with us (Wild Rocket) next door. We also share a rummer with Hands Up who Wants to Die who are also now fronted by the guitarist from Ten Past Seven. Incestuous stuff.

Jamie's new band Electricals will be worth catching when they start gigging.

Would people here count Girl Band as noise rock?

[Pentagrimes]

Jamie's new band Electricals will be worth catching when they start gigging.

Just confirmed for Siege of Limerick in October. Figuring out recording currently, should have a little demo up mid summer. If anyone wants to hear stuff in the meantime I'll happily fire on practice recordings

[Eoin McLove]

I listened to Brainbombs last night for the first time which was quite the experience.  Not at all what I was expecting.  I enjoyed two songs but not sure if I'd survive an album. Very unique sound.

[Pentagrimes]

Which album was it Andy?

[Eoin McLove]

Obey

I'd be interested in having a listen if you can stick them up somewhere!

[Smythsonian]

Also interested, the wee instagram teaser sounded like a nirvana & drainland hybrid to these ears

[Pentagrimes]

I'll pm them to ye later but I'll hold off uploading music publicly until we have a proper recording in the can.
