Basically Tram with a different name but they never really caught on even in the already niche circle they established as Tram.

Didn't see any postings of Come. Don't consider slow core like Low, Bedhead, or Codeine. Bit more rocking but Chris Brokaw was in both so worth posting:

Also, pre - Seam, Bitch Magnet is a little rowdier but live in the same world as slow core to me. Love this one:

Bookmarking for @Olin's reqs (they're always solid). Hey Man, sorry for your loss this year (David Berman). This thread seems appropriate to say that.

Come are great, not sure I'd call them slowcore but who cares at all. New Coat is my favourite song by them.

Yeah Berman was a real kick in the nuts, I was supposed to see him play like two weeks later and was really looking forward to it. Losin' all me biggies.

My fave slowcore songs:

Bedhead - the dark ages
Bedhead - I'm not here
Pavement - here
Galaxie 500 - (all they're songs sound the same so one of them)
Duster - Reed to hillsborough
Low - Words

Roy Montgomery is post-rock / art rock but there are some sections, especially when he plays clean with a bassier sound, can sound like something out of a slowcore song.

Chris Brokaw is one prolific dude, I loved Codeine back in the day, the guy has done like 25 solo records, saw him play solo and got to meet him, super down to earth and friendly guy! He's also been in way too many bands to mention but a couple notables I didn't see mentioned here are the New Year which is him and the Kadane brothers ala Bedhead and Consonant which is Chris Brokaw, one of the Kadane brothers and Chris Conley of Mission Of Burma, good stuff! Check it out! I also love Seam!

The New Year were mentioned on the first page of this thread :lol:
I never really understand how any musicians are as prolific as Chris Brokaw, it takes me years and years to get anything together.

Here's my favourite The New Year song

Again, not quite slowcore, but (as with Rodan & Shipping News) probably close enough:
