at http://www.noiseforobama.org Those of us in the underground/DIY arts need to consider what is important for the future of the US just as much as any other citizen. A climate of tolerance, a strong economy, and a world that inspires us to do greater things are all things that make it easier to be a noise artist. A vote for Barack Obama will encourage these things. This website collects statements from different noise artists, noise rockers, underground show promot... MORE

This month, my sampler turns it's attention to what happened in American undergorund music after the advent of hardcore. Bands started to drift away from the high speed of hardcore, while still maintaining it's aggression and volume. Hardcore punk was the most prevalent underground rock scene in America in the late seventies and early eighties. The music on this cd is an example of a necessary extension and evolution of hardcore. While hardcore still maintains a loyal fan ... MORE

- If you had to call your band "Does It Offend You, Yeah" then no, you have not offended anyone, but you're at least aware that you're making sterile pop music and must desperately try to seem edgy.
- Phoenix has convinced me that All-Ages shows make kids soft. They just show up to be there, not to hear a band they love or heard was great. Sneak in to a show by surreptitiously grabbing a piece of a band's equipment and pretending to be a roadie when you're a teenager. You'l

Lightning Bolt out Boredoms the fucking Boredoms. Seriously, the Boredoms may have pioneered the art of noisy riff played over and over rapidly, but Lightning Bolt takes it even farther. Hypermagic Mountain is a headache on speed, like banging your head against a wall at 200 bpm, and I mean this in the most positive of ways. “Riffwraith,” the name of a track on the album, may be the perfect way to describe the album. The problem with Hypermagic Mountain is it gets repe... MORE

Lightning Bolt - Hypermagic Mountain (Load Records) Lightning Bolt's 2003 album Wonderful Rainbow just kept getting bigger and bigger, like a 16-ton amplifier falling out of the noon sky. Its bass tone squashed round heads into wrecked ellipses, and the drums chattered away as if on a chain drive. The album was the opposite of Excedrin, a tension headache in ten movements. Lightning Bolt have done it again with 2005's Hypermagic Mountain. It's hard to say this is accessi... MORE

for the past few weeks ive been into a lot of mellow music that chills me out (i.e. thelonious monk, portishead, animal collective, massive attack), but i woke up this morning wanting to hear some heavier repititious rocking: stoner rock, if you like. so i put on lightning bolt's hypermagic mountain, and let me say that this album is sick. the ever-intensifying guitar riffs and frantic drumming just mesh so well together. on a side note i was reading somewhere that one of ...

Question: What happens when you mix a spastic drummer who, instead of using a regular microphone, uses a microphone from a standard telephone handset which is either held in his mouth or strapped to his face with a home made hoodie and a bass guitarist who tunes his bass to standard cello and has replaced his high A with a banjo string? LIGHTNING BOLT is what you get, an experimental noise rock group consisting of Brian Chippendale and Brian Gibson, both from Providence,... MORE

Here's one from the Lightning Bolt show at the Echo, 10/13/2003.
I haven't heard this song before or since. Thought it might turn up on Hypermagic Mtn., but oh well.
Sorry if it gets too crunchy, the SPL's were overwhelming my SPOtterbox.
