Non Metal Now Listening

[Yung Led Zeppelin]

Waxahatchee - Tiger's Blood

Reminds me of the kind of stuff you'd hear on soundtracks of teen movies in the American Pie era. Kind of laidback, radio indie-pop. Catchy though, and the lyrics are good.

Yeah, she's great, been following her stuff since about 2014 I'd say. Hell of a performer too, but haven't seen her live myself yet.

Right Back to It off that one is the current earworm plaguing me, particularly the Tiny Desk version

And an excellent Lucinda Williams cover, she has solid country cred like

It's just all Killing Joke for me for the most part this year and a lot of it is non-metal so I'm here and also in the main thread with it. Fire Dances this minute. Great.

Did you ever see them live? Saw them in the Academy after they released Pylon, fairly mixed bag, the 80s stuff sounded fantastic but the moderm heavier stuff was a bit muddy.

Class band though.

I go on a solid buzz of them around once a year and each time it's like I forget how great they actually are and find myself focusing on different albums/eras each time too. The variety and uniqueness of it all is just brilliant
Had a ticket for their cancelled gig in I think it was the Academy back years ago but never got to see them after that. Had hoped to catch them at Sunstroke in 2020 as well but the less said about all that the better!!

I was very late to hop onto the KJ train but, when I did, I hopped on hard. I managed to see them twice, in the end, went to Hamburg for whatever anniversary tour it was in 2019, they started with Love Like Blood and played all the hits from there, fucking deadly. Saw them in the Academy a few years ago, again, very lovely. Great, great fucking band. Are there any other bands who were still putting out genuinely superb albums after 40 odd years?

[Ducky]

Thirty eight years between Rush's debut and their final album (which was genuinely great), but fuck all bands managing that sort of longevity.

[Bürggermeister]

Good call.

The Fall were still releasing great albums up until Mark E Smith passed away. Some people would argue that their last good album was in 2003, but those people are cunts.

Been on the post punk buzz now after talking about it the other day. The Wipers, The Gun Club, Egg Hunt, Wire, all class.

I've got Is This Real? by The Wipers, great stuff. I'll admit to being led to them by Nirvana's covers.

The first 3 albums are great. Youth of America and Over the Edge are even better than Is This Real?

I discovered a rake of bands through Nirvana covering their songs or Kurt referencing them in interviews. Probably wouldn't have heard of the likes of Meat Puppets and Melvins if not for Nirvana.

[Yung Led Zeppelin]

Found a copy of Youth of America second hand at a local record shop, knew absolutely nothing about it sound wise but heard of the name, knew it was probably quality so I had a quick check for damage etc and went for it.

Best impulse buy ever, fucking unreal album.

Two bands I couldn't get into - Melvins have some decent stuff but overall I'm not a fan - but that reminds me: The Vaselines are playing in March, I'm tempted.

I never got the appeal

Youth is a belter of an album. I can't pick a winner between that and Over the Edge, they're both perfect.
