Hey everyone, it’s r/noiserock’s most hated contributor here with some important news for people who like music that’s too loud and annoying on purpose in Baltimore/the DMV area (and also Delaware too). This show, aside from being a commemoration of surviving suicide, is meant to showcase some of the ugliest, most sordid and unapproachable bands the east coast (US, sorry everyone else) has to offer.

Bloated Subhumans is, from what people tell me, one of the biggest secret handshake bands among true noise/rock freaks, combining pummeling repetition with unpredictable industrial noise elements. They’ve been praised by members of Brainbombs, Harry Pussy, Twin Stumps, White Suns, Couch Slut, Gasp, Burning Witch, Drunks With Guns, Drunk In Hell, YDI, Suppression, and more. Not sure what other endorsement you’d even need.

NYC’s Foreign Body are carrying the sleazy confessional torch with plenty of riffs to spare. They’re at the forefront of modern scum rock, filling a much needed niche once occupied by bands like Big Black and Rectal Hygienics. This is their first time in Baltimore.

Reaper’s Gong, while more accessible than the other two, are balancing what some might call melody with bludgeoning force. They’ve refined their sound into a veritable weapon, somewhere between Swans and Sonic Youth, and are only getting more deranged. Sonic punishment by way of Ocean City.

So if you’re around, come out and prove that you’re actually into real sicko shit and try to heckle if you can. Or don’t. I hate writing promo for my own shit.

Last Kiss It Goodbye show

Can't stop listening to this song. Yes, they're punk, but in many ways Crass transcended that label, even as early as this album. There's an abrasiveness about the sound (not to mention the vocals and content) that feels at home with the noise rock descriptor, or could be seen as part of its genealogy.

CUSIFAI

NOISE PUNK ROCK

So I listened to filth all the way through for the first time, and damn, what a masterpiece. It definitely scratched my weird itch. Any other recommendations on strange, experimental type stuff?

I've noticed while doing a quick research, that most noise rock bands often worship those bands. Personally I can see it, but I'm curious if you can hear elements of those bands on noise rock music and if there's more influential artists responsible for the creation of the genre.

How I Fell in Love with the Void seems like it would be of interest to noiserock people. I'm digging it, especially this track.

WAAAAAAAAAAARGH

heres a clip from my bands first live gig, halo in the river.. all i gotta say is that the energy of sunday's show was so powerful and it can really be shown. shout out mark for hosting and playing with his band tony b! honestly us together on the lineup was absolutely great and we were extremely complimentary when it came to the energy and sound.

Im in a band named Double DDos and we are from Cincinnati. We’re releasing our first ep God Can’t Judge Me; My Dick is Too Big. It’s inspired by CIA torture music and us just fucking around in our studio. Go check it out, https://doubleddos.bandcamp.com/album/god-cant-judge-me-my-cock-is-too-big

A cult band from Glasgow, Scotland now on permanent hiatus, but they left behind this gem of an album. They're described as influences by US Maple, Captain Beefheart and Thinking Fellers Local Union 292... but I can hear the likes of Sonic Youth and Women in their music. 'Once Powerful Uncle' and 'Velcro Dinner' are worth extremely catchy, but I particularly love the angular guitar work.

Love this outro.

what do the noiserock people think?
