operative451 Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 Hello rhythmically low oscillatory humans! So yeah, been away, went a bit mad again as one does occasionally, got better, got bored, went on forum. In between i've been listening to a load of grunge again... Particularly the more riot grrl end - Hole and the Breeders, stuff like that. Good wasn't it? And there's a new Breeders record out!! Oh, ok, that's how you do youtube now. That was easy! Its got the same 'sound'! That sort of muddy but clear tone, kind of almost phasey... See also Hole's 'Violet'... I suspect it resulted originally from everything being recorded on a portastudio held together with duct tape, but if anyone has any clearer insight onto how they got that sound, i'd love to hear...

Daz39 Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 Ooh, Breeders! Cool. good to see you back, btw. 1 Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Yeah great era and some cool bands with that sound. We're off to see The Soap Girls this weekend which could be interesting, definitely a touch of Hole about them. Quote
Monkey Steve Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 love the Breeders - booked a trip to Dublin for my 40th and they just happened to be playing that night...everything is a bit hazy after an afternoon of being guided round the pubs by one of the natives, but I'm pretty sure they were excellent Quote
operative451 Posted November 15, 2017 Author Posted November 15, 2017 Ooh, i've not been aware of the Soap girls - like those a lot, thanks!! 1 Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Certainly different from your normal pub band! I'll let you know what they are like. Quote
Cato Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Have you ever listened to Drugstore? Or Belly? I don't know if they qualify as grunge or riot grrrls, but it was definately an influence on them, plus they're two of my favourite bands from that era. Quote
MoonBassAlpha Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Such a rich seam of great female fronted bands, Echobelly, Elastica, Curve, and loads I've temporarily forgotten the names of. Quote
MoonBassAlpha Posted November 19, 2017 Posted November 19, 2017 Just listened to the Wargs music (they are advertising for a bass player on here), and there's more than a touch of the Breeders about them too. Quote

HowieBass Posted November 19, 2017 Posted November 19, 2017 Oooooooohhhh! Time for me to introduce one of my faves in this genre, namely 50 Foot Wave... Quote
Rumple Posted November 19, 2017 Posted November 19, 2017 I had a soft spot for Belly back in the day, haven't they resurfaced recently? L7 will never be forgotten, mostly due to their performance on The Word Quote

MacDaddy Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Never really 'got' the gunge thing. Horses for courses and all that... Quote
