Top 8 Bands On Hydra Head Records
8 groups that come out of a label that have been producing a lot of Isis knockoffs lately. |
| 1 | Torche
Meanderthal was a fantastic album. Songs for Singles topped it with the cherry and then some. Nobody misses Juan Montoya....just saying. And their live shows kickass....lots of it. |
| 2 | Cave In
White Silence is definitely the jewel here. I like all of their stuff, but White Silence is the best by far. |
| 3 | Oxbow
Fuckfest and King of the Jews are two masterpieces in modern hardcore. Absolutely fucking awesome. |
| 4 | The Austerity Program
In the noise rock category TAP definitely take it. Backsliders and Apostates was fucking cool. I also dig that these guys use a drum machine. Gives a lot more room for a creativity. |
| 5 | Keelhaul
Definitely a weird band, for sure. Triumphant returns and obscurity aside, their live shows sound like they're off the album and Chris Smith is a hilarious guy to meet and see. |
| 6 | Gridlink
Never really listened to these guys until Orphan dropped. Fucking awesome. I cannot believe I didn't listen to these guys earlier on in life. I feel like such a dumbass. But I'm making up for it by giving them a place on this list. |
| 7 | Kayo Dot
Toby Driver needs a few Grammys. It's only right. Choirs of the Eye and Blue Lambency are.....spectacular. |
| 8 | Nadja
This band fucking rocks. One of the first drone bands I ever listened to. Touched is a kickass debut and their splits and collabs with Moss and Year of No Light are just fucking killer. |
