bands that i SHOULD like (from description, theory, and "what they do") but don't at all:
Lightning Bolt, Wolf Mother, Motorpsycho, Acid Mothers Temple, Boris, Charalembide (spelling?)...
I know how you feel! Although I have Boris'
Pink album and I rate it.
If you're looking for something heavy and stonery as per your list above, I highly recommend you check out the newly reformed
Carcass live. They'll be in San Fransisco in a couple of weeks. Get bent and stand in front of the mixing desk.
Having seen them previously in the early 90s (not a great gig), I didn't expect much when I went to see them last year but was
totally blown away. Hardly new by any measure but very good. And I love anyone who dedicates a song to "those who still believe in Satan, the Queen and Santa Claus"
My mate's getting into Justice. He played me their bonus live DVD which was a bit of a lads' own kind of deal - some nice/funny moments. Not sure what to think of them as a band yet though.
Cool thread. I've been thinking the same. Cheers all for the links to check out.
