Bands with rusty gravelly throat-destroying voices.

[Ugly Nora]

Killdozer rules.

[casecandy]

Wow, so many awesome fucking recommendations!

Here's what I think (based on cursory listens only, keeping in mind that music usually has to grow on me).

Bands I already knew and loved...

Tom Waits
Mötörhead
Howlin' Wolf
Bear VS. Shark
Gai
Captain Beefheart

I discovered Gai after Boris paid tribute to them on the "hardcore version" of their Vein LP. I also found out about Gloom and Confuse that way and fuck... does Japan ever do crust right!

Bands I was pretty meh about overall...

G.I.S.M.
Anti Nowhere League
Man Is The Bastard
Chaos UK
A.O.A.
blitz
Killdozer

Okay, lordgalvar, I totally feel you on every other street punk doing this voice. It's too much. I wasn't really talking about the "Oi" type rough voice, the Rancid voice. Got old in high school! So yeah.

Bands I really like based on the songs you gave me!

Ripcord
Amebix
Leatherface
Opal Foxx Quartet
Oi Polloi
The Swankys
Ghostlimb

Holy shit, Leatherface is exactly what I was looking for! What's the best record to go for IYO? And Ghostlimb isn't really what I had in mind but I fucking love it anyway. Reminds me of Josh Scogin at his best (The Chariot if they had riffs instead of random white noise and feedback). I'm gonna buy that Ripcord LP at some point, too. Phenomenal.

Hey, and I thought of a few more on my own. Can't believe I forgot Fucked Up, who are basically Titus Andronicus from Canada (well, I guess Titus Andronicus are Fucked Up from America).



And while we're on Canada, a great indie husband-wife duo is July Talk. Doing some really original stuff IMO.

[ThurberMingus]

I can post a link later, but Viet Cong does this. And I'm playing a show with them this winter

[neonblack]

Luckyyyyyy

Lemme come play with

[casecandy]

Ooh, I love Viet Cong.

They sound like a dark, Canadian Beatles.

[neonblack]

They get way post-punk too though. They're like the baby of The Beatles and Joy Division. With a little David Bowie in the mix.

+1, this is true

[D.o.S.]

Fun fact Viet Cong are fucking garbage and they're pussies who can't figure out if they meant for their name to be offensive because they're eunuched CIS librarians who have secret longings for varsity sports on network television.

I'm not even going to opine on the subjective truth or untruth of this statement (largely because I couldn't give a flying fuck), but it is one of the most beautiful things I have read this week.

[BoatRich]

Bear Vs Shark is fucking rad, Neonblack mentioned them earlier

[More_Divebombs]

Hot Water Music





William Elliot Whitmore



Pretty much any band claiming to be inspired by Hot Water Music, Jawbreaker or Leatherface, which equates to about five million bands.

[casecandy]

I do love BVS and Hot Water Music/Chuck Ragan

It just occurred to me, I love Million Dead, too... Frank Turner occasionally brings the growl, albeit in a higher-pitched way

[gnomethrone]

This dude is bonkers

[gnomethrone]

A few more
