Wall of Mouths

Sure i’ve seen Bossk a few years back, it was certainly a band called Bossk, just maybe not the same one, metal were they? with Grrrrgh vocals? (they were on the same bill as Latitudes (fucking awesome) and Devil Sold His Soul (Complete shit, couldn’t / can’t stand them, walked out of the gig 30 seconds after they started).
If it was the same one i thought they were good untill the singer opened his mouth, but that’s just me.

Yeah that’s them, they also played my local venue with Negura Bunget and Ephel Duath as well as the gig i mentioned (just been checking online).

I like Ascent of Everest too. And I like *Shels, who formed the *Shelsmusic label - who woulda guessed it?? Speaking of which, *Shels are a great band, but I’m not sure if they count as UK or American - the singer who was in Mahumodo moved to America and then started *Shels… hmmm… if you count them as British, then they can be in my list as well! :-)

Well, my top 5 are pretty concrete, though I’d probably change the positions from one day to the next. Then I think the next 3 would always be in the top 10, but then there are other bands, such as *Shels who maybe should be in there, so I’d get rid of either Crippled Black Phoenix or Tindersticks. 3 Colours Red were good (and now Basskniv3s, if they ever get round to releasing the album.) Then there’s Headswim (and now Black Car). And Terrorvision and Laika Dog. Bible Code Sundays. The Pogues.

So, replace Tindersticks with *Shels for my top 10. And then all the other ones I mentioned are contenders as well, who might have got in on another day :-)

I’ve never heard of Earthtone9 (well, until I saw them on the Damnation poster in another thread). Might have to check them out.

How could I forget ‘And So I watch You From Afar’?

Ok, thanks Hoppy, I will check Latitudes out. I’ll check out a lot of the other bands that have been mentioned too, so this should keep me quite busy :-)

And welcome to the boards, Runestone! Swervedriver have been a band I’ve been thinking about checking out more for a while.

Hooch: have a listen on myspace, it’s much more gentle, the energy / anger isn’t there and whilst it’s well done (his voice hasn’t got any better tho) i don’t enjoy it as much as 93 -95 stuff. I saw them live in 2006 and they were excellent, they were playing all the old stuff as they hadn’t written much of the new yet. They’re now not really playing much as Salv (bassist) kept pulling out of gigs due to work (or so i heard), but Ed and Rob are playing S*M*A*S*H stuff with the former bassist of the Otters (who’s original drummer was Robs’ (SMASH drummer) son). Can’t remember which name they’re under but will find out and post it.

Cool it Jobrok. If you’d take the time to read the original post, it said include RoI bands.

I’m Irish too & I really don’t need a geography or history lesson when talking about music thanks very much ;-)

Yes, I was including RoI bands - Paradox are an Irish grunge band :-)

Thin Lizzy
Therapy?
Cyclefly
Black Sabbath
Judas Priest
Iron Maiden
Motorhead
Queen
The Jam
The Kinks
The Beatles
Rory Gallagher

and Spinal Tap for the laugh :-)

That’s why it’s for a laugh :-D

Oh and I forgot Discharge and The Sex Pistols.

Some classic bands mentioned here. Glad to see Sabbat mentioned; i missed out on them in my teenage years but glad I bought into them later. Carcass, well, whats to say what hasn’t been said already. Bolt Thrower, under-rated, nuff said. Can’t think of anyone else right now, but Xentrix are on my mind as I write this. Okay, they might’ve been a little brother version of Metallica, but when I first heard them in 1989, they were class, and a cover of Ghostbusters to boot.

Gawd I feel old thinking about it.

got me thinking about acid reign and Reanimator now…gee, there was some under-rated UK thrash around at the end of the 80`s. I do think Sabbat were the best tho, dont think black metal lyrics would be the same now if it wasnt for that band (not that im a huge BM fan)

also forgot to include the classics like Sabbath, maiden, motorhead, Lizzy, Beatles, clash, pistols…man, we have produced some good s#it over the years
