Khruangbin is my new favorite band. I love Mark Speer's guitar playing. Plus, they just got a great groove going.

"Khruangbin" means "airplane" in Thai.

Is this what you play when you have guests over the house? :lol:

They were definitely signed by the right record company.

Rob with the Converge avi and Knocked Loose drop. Nice!

Im sure you also like some stuff by Botch, Pig Destroyer, Dillinger Escape Plan, Poison the Well, Wormrot, Between the Buried and Me, Nails, Cave In, Discordance Axis, Every Time I Die, Daughters, The Chariot, Gaza, Napalm Death, Power Trip, Nasum, Zao, Norma Jean, Counterparts, Vein.fm, Today is the Day, etc.

So many cool hardcore, metalcore, grind, powerviolence and such bands out there.

Rock includes punk, metal and all the other “extreme” subgenres. Death, Black, Sludge, Doom, etc.

For anyone who cant get into screaming/yelling/any type of harsh vocals, you gotta treat them as more of a percussion instrument part of the rhythm section, just adding more heaviness and primal feeling. You’re not goin to understand 90% of what they’re saying lol. Once it clicks then it makes sense. Some bands will throw in some panty dropping catchy clean sung choruses and melodies too though.

Personally I like when vocals are varied the best. Think Mike Patton of Faith No More and many other projects, who can do every type of vocal technique out there. Heavy, soft, high, low, crazy, and all in between. One of the last concerts I saw before the pandemic locked everything down was one of Patton’s other bands Mr. Bungle at Brooklyn Steel.

I'm liking this one, I've started getting into some old school tunes that were before my time.

Ian Dury always had great musicians playing with him. He sorted of merged punk, rock and roll and english dance hall (like from the 1930's) all together. Or at least the ethos of that dance hall music.

In this case though, the primary backing band is Sly and Robbie, who I don't think toured with him.

I like listening to music from all era's. Good is good, if you keep the mind and ears open.

I used to be a bass player in a couple hardcore punk / metalcore bands from 2001-2008ish. We mostly played in our local area (Kentucky, where knocked loose is from) but we also went to other southern states here and there. I’ve seen maybe 75% of those bands live because I used to do nothing but go to shows for fun. We played a show with Daughters before they got too popular as well as Norma Jean right as they as they were releasing their album Bless the Martyr and Kiss the Child which just turned 20 recently and we tried to rip off heavily. And then we started to do more like a Pantera type southern metal thing when that became popular. But from the early 2000s I started to get more into bands like Bane, Have Heart, Verse, Terror, Hatebreed, Madball, any straight edge band because I was at the time, NYHC bands even though I’d never been to New York etc.

Converge was/is probably my favorite band from the time, I did see them live a couple times in the “No Heroes” album era with Modern Life is War and a couple others. I have a lot of Jacob Bannon’s artwork and some I have hanging up in my house and have a tattoo related to it

Knocked Loose is one of the few current bands still putting out music that I listen to they caught my attention in 2017-2018 the vocals sounded a lot like another band I used to like (the warriors, set the stage) and I really related with it and they’ve just kept getting better, I’ve tried to get into Turnstile who got really popular, Code Orange, don’t go to shows much anymore, I’m old, back pain, permanent mosh retirement etc

I listen to a lot of other genres as well, pretty much anything really. I have a lot of vinyl records but I don’t have a discogs trying not to get obsessed and waste all my money

Now I mostly listen to the screams of my sick 3 year old

Ha thats pretty awesome Rob. You should post the bands you were in if you have recordings. I dig all those ones you threw out too. Was gonna mention Have Heart, Turnstile, Madball, etc but I can go on forever as Im sure you can.

See this is cool learning about eachother like this outside of the damn Knicks. We don’t agree on Julius Randle, lol, but music is universal breh.

I saw Daughters with Health and Show Me the Body as openers a couple years back too after they blew up.

One of the most gangster songs ever:

it's pretty wild how that band has evolved and transformed over the years and still popular. when I saw them (at some public library basement maybe 30-40 kids there) they sounded like the below videos, I dig the evolution

i'd post my band's recordings, but this was back in early 2000s on a **** equipment. it's terrible

we had a video recording of us during a battle of the bands (about 16 bands showed up). we came in second.

we weren't going to win anyway, but our bassist was high as ****, and cranked his bass up louder than everyone else. when we listened back to the video of our set, it's pretty much, "and here's the bass, featuring the rest of the band." it sounded **** horrendous.

definitely acquired taste; i akin his voice similar to michael poulsen from volbeat. took me a while to get used to his voice, and eventually my band, back in NY, had Still Counting and The Devil's Bleeding Crown in our set list.

Bonus fact: Mike Patton is one of the only guys who has a wider vocal range than my boy, Corey Taylor (Stone Sour, not so much Slipknot).

my life goal is to get over to Rock am Ring over in Germany. That **** look like a blast. I may be close to 40, but I want to do it before some of my favorite bands get too old.
