and then they would write a song about it.

dont be so emo Servo!

What's music without emotion?

Posted by Adstar I'm into emo(violence)/powerviolence/screamo/grindcore and most of that is pretty underground. Examples: Orchid Amanda Woodward Apoplexy Twist Orchestra Caught in the fall 1905 Yaphet Kotto Union Of Uranus Portraits of Past Analena Palatka A Day In Black And White Circle Takes the Square The number Twelve Looks Like You Iron Lung Quattro Stagioni Trencher Orthrelm Bucket full of teeth Locust La Quiete Daitro Raein Just to name a few ...

I said just to name a few, eh ;) But yeah, Rites of spring is absolutely great.

Nice selection of bands you've got there BTW, and I can't fail to notice you noted every band Ian Mackaye has ever been in (which is a good thing ).

<3 the Dischord kids.

Adstar, I suggest you check out the bands Cap'n Jazz, Books Lie, and The Kodan Armada. I think you may like em. And if you like math-rock at all, check out The Red Light Sting...they're pretty crazy, in fact I'll post a couple samples here.

ftp://67.48.110.33/Cap'n Jazz - Analphabetapolotholgy (cd 1) - 01 - Little League.mp3

ftp://67.48.110.33/Books Lie - 01 - Empire Maker.mp3

ftp://67.48.110.33/02 no has never had 3 letters.mp3

ftp://67.48.110.33/Red Light Sting - ...And Then I Grew Pubes.mp3

I know all of those already :p, but thanks anyway

I don't like cap'n jazz all that much, but they're ok.
Books lie is great, I've got 2 7"s and an lp by them.
The kodan armada was great too, too bad they split.
The Red Light sting is cool, I like their album "hands up, tiger".

I should have known. =þ

I've seen the bands I bolded... that's an awesome list. based on what I've heard, iron lung is possibly the best active band in hardcore right now.

screamo:
textbook traitors (kinda like orchid)
comadre (similar to kodan armada, but with more fast parts)
funeral diner
envy
since someone mentioned powerviolence, spazz, capitalist casualties and charles bronson bear mentioning.

I've been digging on crusty/sludgy stuff lately...

funeral for rosewater (rip)
kylesa
artimus pyle
his hero is gone (rip)
six shots fired (blast for a bit, then get sludgy. d-beat patrs on occasion as well)

and some thrash:
defend means attack
hellnation
brody's militia
municipal waste
crucial unit (rip)

Posted by Servo I thought if you punched them they would just turn to mush and cry...?

skinny kids are suprisingly tenacious.

I haven't heard of Comadre, funeral for rosewater, artimus pyle, six shots fired and defend means attack yet, I'll check them out, thanks.

I've been listening to a lot of Charles Bronson, Limp Wrist and early DRI lately.

Edit: And yeah, Iron Lung is plain great, absolutely amazing.

Opeth is awsome.

I dont know what qualifies as 'underground music', but il list a few bands anyway.

Otep is also cool, one of my favourite bands.

my favourite los angeles based underground bands:

babyland: live, on albums, whatever, they're fucking amazing. who knew 2 guys, a bunch of steel 55 gallon drums, old pipes, and an Apple computer could make such amazing music.

midnight laserbeam (okay they're from san francisco, but whatever): not emo, not electro, not like anything you've ever heard before. also great live & on albums, and very nice guys.

the 400 blows: a bunch of guys who dress up like cops and thrash out some of the best music around.

EMA3: picks up where Devo left off

other than that I listen to a bunch of electronica which no one around here seems to be into anyway...

I think I did a show with them once, back when I was performing with Insecto Circus.

A great band (That I'm listening to as I type this) is Sleepytime Gorilla Museum.
Faun Fables isn't bad either, for that matter.

But the one of my all time favorite local underground bands is Ego Plum and the Ebola Music Orchestra. When I get the clear, I'll post the video of theirs I was in. good stuff.

So,is there anyone who got into UE listening to dark ambient stuff besides rock/emo,punk or metal?I for myself first come across the whole urban decay concept by a swedish ambient artist called Raison d'être and their album"requiem for abandoned souls"not only features some magnificent photos by www.abandoned-places.com ,the music itself is for the dark soul as the cd title said it all.I have been listening to so-called underground music for 6 years now,ranging from dark ambient,industrial,power electronic,neo-folk,darkwave to extreme black/doom metal.

Anyone is interested in these kind of stuff,please follow the link http://raisondetre.coldmeat.se/
