paperhose Eat Skull are one of the best.

For reasons unknown, I mixed up Eat Skull with Little Claw. I'm not sure I've ever heard of Eat Skull, although I've been aware of them since the Termbo hype days. Will check em' out.

Randall "the worst band I ever saw." Tyvek

For a second or two I thought Tyvek were the worst band you ever saw, but I read too fast. Tyvek are the absolute best, killing it live and on record for almost 20 years now. Put on my fourth show with them last year and they are as good as ever. Such a nice bunch of people too, always a pleasure to hang out with them.

    Gimmie Sopor for sure. I have never seen them anything less than stellar. Their set at the Corporate Retreat last year had me feeling about 15 years younger

    I definitely would not have described Nothing People as shitgaze. They were like glam rock or whatever. Regardless, to paraphrse Casca, it was Termbo Rock to me.

    As for NP, I like all of their stuff, but this is still to this day one of my favorite seven inchers of all time

      Josh Hineni, hineni. Sadly, can't access the link to the article for some reason. I'm really curious though

        I had forgotten about the autocorrect "clowning on bitches." genius. also, hilarious it actually made it into the article

        TNV, Eat Skull, Psychedelic Horseshit are all great. Does anyone have an opinion on the Pink Noise? I thought they were exciting, there was a real well done interview back in the day where RK got Mark to talk through every song on an album. Are they only a footnote cause they were from north of the border? or some kind of Sacred Bones stink? I put out a latter day LP that was far from shitgaze to very little fanfare, but i thought it was fantastic, still have like 20 copies.

          I actually think some egg punk bands (DEVO, coneheads, cheater slicks) are pretty good

            Preach. Asked Rod a couple/few years ago about any new music and he made it sound as if something was slowly coming together. Here’s hoping.

            yeah before anybody jumps to conclusions, i had plans to change the name of my site and head into a different direction for a while now - it has zero to do with Marty's opinion piece. I came up with "Hot Sounds" back in 2022.

              Wasn't it originally called "Jimmy Rock" after this YT channel? I discovered it a bit late I think - probably when looking for Coneheads stuff but thought, "uh no, I'm not wading through all that crap to try to find a few diamonds..." (This channel appears right above a "Johnny Sick" channel in my subs list!)

              fwiw I think Uranium Club is definitely a stand-out of the genre - rising above and beyond it...Were ISS considered Egg? I fucking love them - what are they or members up to thsese days??
