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

                paperhose Eat Skull are one of the best.

                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!)

                          ETA: Ahaha that Jimmy channel is even listed in the Wikipedia entry

                          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??

                              Uranium Club might be a great (the best?) example of good songwriting breaking a band out of genre prison. They have all the sonic ingredients of the average egg punk shit sandwich, but they do so much structurally, so much with production, so much with the dynamics and ranges and voices of a four-piece punk band, that they didn't even come to my mind since this thread started.

                              Uranium Club = objectively cool and good.

                                  I viewed Pink Noise more in the weird punk camp and I really liked Dream Code when it came out. By the time of the second album the weird punk bloat was really setting in and I was tired of the whole thing. I think that had more to do with it than them being Canadian. Gonna go back and visit a bunch of the weird punk heavy hitters again this week.
