Which one? Ugh. I fucking love Pigface. Sometimes finding that stuff is like finding gold. I know you can order it all online, but it's more fun to hunt. lol

To this day, any time I pick up a guitar, one of my defaults is to start playing the intro to A Housewife Love Song.

That's the one... I saw them live once on a lil stage on Baylor Campus cause they were supposed to be pw at the time cause of their label... It was incredible, they played most of Silver and Gold to about 13 people...

That sounds like it would be great. So much good shit got lumped under this P+W type of thing simply because they were signed on Tooth and Nail. Starflyer 59, Roadside Monument, Frodus, all great shit that seem perpetually ignored just because of that association.

I've also been on a failure kick recently. Running a DOD 250 into the Hoof side of my HoofReaper gets me there.

While we're talking about awesome bands... 90s/early 00s...

Common Children anyone?

I mean... The Inbetween Time is a hell of an album

Ooh I know... speaking of the DOD 250, running that into Ibanez BB9 is a fantastic, maybe a bit Failurey tone for bass.

didnt get into inbetween time, but i still spin delicate fade and skywire twice a year.

Back to failure / mr edwards you can have a pretty good shot to his board circa 2010

I don't know, I just know that I've been hoping for a reunion for years and now that it's happened, it feels pretty damn good.

I think Greg's probably done more to influence my sound in the last couple of years than anyone else. I just wish I understood that massive alien spaceship he calls a pedalboard.

That sounds like it'd work pretty well, I've been using a homemade Colorsound Overdriver going into an IC Big Muff plus my POG and it's been going pretty well. I figured something on the side of a Russian/IC Big Muff should do well since that's what I seem to see Greg use everywhere he goes.

I've been incredibly out of touch with other Music sites/forums so I don't know what trending or anything. But exactly what you said, I only just discovered Failure 6 months back and i've been honestly tracking down 90s music that I've never heard of. Australia is pretty shit at archiving music.

Funnily enough, the shit that I play on guitar sounds a lot like all of the music i've missed.

People who dismiss Christian bands just because they're Christian are so annoying, and thankfully, I think that that's on the wain. I say that because in recent years there have been some Xtian bands that got a lot of popularity and acclaim with secular listeners. But I still encounter some of these shitheads in the scene that will get pissy about the fact that Dustin Kensrue is a worship leader. I'm like, uh, half the people you buy pedals from are worship leaders or associated so suck it. Anyway I definitely think Starflyer were dismissed a lot back in the day, people thought "Xtian punk" and wouldn't even listen

Tooth & Nail are one of the great American punk labels IMO

Frodus are great. I looked into them after Thrice covered "The Earth Isn't Humming" and was pretty thoroughly impressed
