Anyone like this band? (Viet Cong Specifically), Saw them play a few days ago and they kicked ass. I know their later albums can be spotty but Viet Cong more than makes up for it. Anything else similar in style? Brutalist Guitar Noise. I'm familiar with Women, Cindy Lee and most classic Post-Punk.

That album is great but I lost all respect for them for changing their name. ˜Viet Cong˜ seemed the perfect name for a Post-Punk band.

>>126812396 (OP)
post your address pussyboy. you fucking ugly piece of shit fuck you.

>>126813368

>>126812396 (OP)
I don't remember what they sound like exactly but isn't this just a crummy This Heat worship band?

>>126813272
>˜Viet Cong˜ seemed the perfect name for a Post-Punk band.
It really is. was gonna put something in the OP about not discussing the name change but I get why it's a big thing for some people.
>>126813445
Maybe crummy in comparison to This Heat but as a modern band playing this kind of music, I'll take it.

Modern post-punk you have bands like Eagulls, Protomartyr, Iceage, Bright Channel. Classic post-punk The Sound, 1919, Wipers, Gang of Four

>>126815345
>Eagulls, Protomartyr, Iceage
I've heard of the last two but haven't listened to them, I'll check them out
>Bright Channel
Their first album's good stuff, kind of like APTBS before APTBS but a bit more Sonic Youth. Their previous band Volplane is good stuff too.
>The Sound
Great band, From the Lions Mouth is one of my favorite albums.

Never heard of them, Thanks anon.
>Wipers
Not very familiar with them.
>Gang of Four
I've only heard Entertainment, Didn't really think much of it.
Appreciate you Anon.

>>126813272
yeah, there was nothing wrong with their name, but they capitulated and looked stupid doing it, was a shame

>>126812396 (OP)
One of those albums that stayed in 2015 for me

>>126812396 (OP)
maybe check out My Disco?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRZ-lbJofFQ

it's like that record minus any catchy song element, if you want some grey sounding minimalist repetative guitar brutalism then try it out

>>126812396 (OP)
Yeah

>>126816050

Look up the song Chinese Town by Clockcleaner

>>126816050
Based on your response here it seems clear to me that you're very unlikely to have heard Gareth Williams' (from This Heat) Flaming Tunes. This is not in line with what you're asking for but if you give a shit about This Heat it's a no brainer.

>>126812396 (OP)
Saw them live last month. They were great, even if I haven't loved anything if theirs since their debut.
Check out METZ for something similar. Another Canadian noise rock / post punk group that hit the scene at the same time, though their sound is a lot heavier and more driving and especially their debut drew a lot of comparisons to Nirvana.
It's funny, Viet Cong / METZ / Women / Daughters / Protomartyr were spammed to shit on this board back in the day then everyone just forgot. The early 2010's really had a fucking kick ass burst of new post punk and noise rock.

>>126813272
Based.

>>126812396 (OP)
Great band and all adjacent projects are really good too, especially Cindy Lee/Women. Super rare.

>>126812396 (OP)
Did you see them play with Lavoro and Still Depths? Still Depths was most of my reason for buying a ticket.

And I'll rec Sofa and Enablers, though that's more based on tone, since they're both more like post-hardcore or noise rock bands.

They were losing gigs, and the gigs they did play were getting disrupted by woketards and making venues skittish. It’s stupid that it came to this but there are limits to how much a working band can resist political correctness.

>>126818487
I always confused and Mest.

Listened to these, Interesting side projects though within the context of the members main work, Doesn't do much for me on first listen. I like the atmosphere on World of Rubber. Thanks Anons.

I saw them play with Goon. Only caught their last 1 and a half songs since I was running late to the gig. I'll listen to your recs, Thanks.

>>126820401
>Goon
I'll check them out. I'd really recommend Still Depths if you haven't already listened, and they've got another album on the way. Lavoro is good too, but doesn't scratch the same itch for me. Still Depths has more of the post-punk edge of the two. Frenetic stuff.

Still on noise rock lines, but might do something for you: Vangas. Their self-titled is incredible, and I've seen it vaguely alluded to that they have something in the works.

Wow, an actual on-topic thread with legitimately good music recommendations. What year is it?!

>>126820120
It's funny that now there's a band called DITZ that sounds a fair amount like METZ

>>126822400
This is making me think of a more aggressive Welcome, and the vocals of Meneguar's.
https://youtu.be/06ClPlCz9zU
https://youtu.be/5uswRTQuXUI
Both of these albums are terrific, though I prefer Meneguar's first album; Welcome has some other good albums too.

>>126812396 (OP)
I loved this album when it came out but I lost a huge amount of interest in them when they let sjw faggots dictate their art.
>>126814465
>was gonna put something in the OP about not discussing the name change
Fuck you I'll talk about whatever the fuck I want

99.9% of post-punk is bland, mediocre shit with nothing to say, and this thread is more proof of that.

>>126820066
Still, posting Bandcamp links is based, so commendation to this poster.

>>126822891
>99.9% of post-punk is bland, mediocre shit
And who counts among the 0.1%?

>>126822852
While I agree they shouldn’t have changed it, this >>126820078 is also true, and “preoccupations” is 100% a dig at the sjws

>>126812396 (OP)
yeah this album kinda rules

>>126822643
Props for even knowing who Meneguar are, haven't heard them mentioned in ages if at all. I guess Woods was more well known.....

>>126822852
>no albums to rec
>nothing to say about the dozen other albums in the thread
Everyone already knows the name-change was gay. You're gay too until you rec an album.

>>126822951
lol every mention of Meneguar on /mu/ since 2021 has been me. I was listening to I Was Born At Night tons back then (and Sheryl's Magnetic Aura). I rec'd Meneguar to a guy who was telling me about the Marato at a show recently.
>Woods
Who's this? Fill me in.

>>126823023
Woods was at least 2 of the members of Meneguar (the drummer of Meneguar is the singer I think?), they were more well known than Meneguar. Completely different genre though, more psych folkish.

Yeah, giving it a listen and for a moment I thought I could hear a similarity, but it doesn't do anything for me. Looking at related projects like that always seems to be 50:50 great:disappointing. Sheryl's Magnetic Aura is proto-Meneguar, if you're not already familiar:
https://youtu.be/9gEofMxY4W8

And with the Marato on my mind, a cool follow-up band is Feuermusik following from Rockets Red Glare. Jazz from a math rock band. Their second album is up on Bandcamp
https://sffeuermusik.bandcamp.com/album/no-contest
but not their first, but the scattered tracks I've heard really make me want a copy:
https://youtu.be/6rxz8LZxi3A
https://youtu.be/0HvJrKglwyo
I emailed one of them a while ago and he said he'd email me the CD, but that didn't pan out. (I moved not long after and I really hope it didn't show up at my old place.)

Continental Drift is such a good song

>>126813272
I kind of knew the person that made them change their name and they were the same people that got Action Bronson banned from Toronto. Those were some heady sjw times in the early 20 teens.

>>126824461
Wasn't it one of the dudes from Heavy Lungs?

One thing I will say, as far as 2010's SJW's forcing punk bands to change their names goes, nothing will beat Girl Band.
People having full on meltdowns and waging a cancel crusade because a band named Girl Band did not have any girls in it is one of the funniest fucking things ever to me.

Primary Colours is a perfect synthesis of Goth & Shoegaze. I've been enamored with it for a bit, Specifically the B-side for Who Can Say
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxTjvSfZ8-A

Doesn't quite fit, but I saw the Preoccupations' last album was on the same label as Bleary Eyed, who are terrific. I'm looking forward to their upcoming album, and I've been listening to their album Guise a lot. They also play a great live show.

I really like chrome is lullaby by Her New Knife. Not too close to the Preoccupations sound, but might have some appeal here.

Was kinda surprised at how different Ill at Ease sounds. I don't think I gave it a listen before I saw Preoccupations last month, and I ended up pretty thrown off. Still a great show though.

>>126820078

The record's a bit New Wavey in a bad way for me but I thought the tracks from it sounded better live (as is usually the case).

No problem. Another good band touring around then is Wombo. Saw them live too and thought they were incredible, so keep an eye out for them as well.
