Played dozens of shows there in the 2010s and we have a video of the last one. I was wearing my Spiderland shirt that I got at one of the 2007 shows. Seeing this made my day

[@User-xw6kd]

This is awesome. I think the vocals do genuinely add something special to the instrumentals but they are great on their own too.

thx again leo fender for the telecaster..from hank to slint to soundgarden. the machine.

[@francescopozzi3290]

History in the making, music way ahead of its times. Sometimes I wonder why they call this math rock... this awkward, lyricless, spiritless execution reminds me why.

[@george9822]

Henry Chinaski not ahead of its time. Alternative/grunge was already becoming a thing. Moss Icon started that emo/screamo deal back in the 80s. This came just in time.

[@paukin9344]

It’s only called math rock retroactively. It’s closer to post rock in the original sense of the genre but who gives a shit

[@TheCallingInSilence]

G Puppy what does alternative/grunge have anything to do with them being/not being ahead of their time?

[@User-xw6kd]

@@george9822 This is nothing like typical grunge/alternative rock.

Yes, I know Slint were one of the inventors of Post Rock and all, but to me this is what should be labeled Grunge if anything

[@jasonmartin2043]

definitely not.

[@_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_]

Yeah totally. While we're at it , Sutcliffe Jügend should be smooth jazz , Abruptum should be easy listening , and Jean-Louis Costes should be Trip Hop.

[@barryscott1989]

There's definitely massive crossovers with Slint and Nirvana's sound... All of you people who deny that are too far down the Wormhole. Zoom out!
