90s Indie Rock • Page 12

Discovering Bikini Kill in 8th grade literally changed the entire course of the rest of my life

 

This thread is my jam

Shit, my own band makes 90s indie rock in 2018 lol

 

omg. ive been on such a hard pavement/stephen malkus grind. this is coming at the perfect time!

 

Can we talk about how underrated Ride is and how Nowhere is easily one of the best shoegaze albums of the 90s

 

reunion album was great too

 

New EP in like two weeks as well. I've always been more partial to Going Blank Again

 

Get out, Ride is releasing something new too??? This whole scene of music is having reunions haha

 

they put out a full length last year haha

 

SAME lol. Such a market for it amirite

 

okay so super depressed version of me went to bed at 9 PM and just woke up at 3 AM to this message. Two songs in and holy SHIT. Could not be loving how this record opens up more. I needed this music in my life in the middle of the night.

 

yay! excited for this!

Wowee Zowee is one of my all time fav albums - such a glorious mess

 

new Jicks song rules

loved the two most recent albums so count me in for a new one

 

ya this is stephen malk at his best. i love this

 

It does. Moment I heard it I did a double take.

 

Every now and then an artist not departing their trademark sound all too much doesn’t bother me even over a multiple-decade career. Stephen Malkmus is a perfect example

 

New track is sick as hell, of course

 

Wait is it a new Pavement song or SM song?

 

Jicks

 

My band got to open for Malkmus and The Jicks a couple years ago in Boston, and it still feels like a dream. I flipped out when I got the email asking if we could.

I never thought I’d ever get to meet him, but him and the band were super nice and welcoming. I can’t wait for more new music from them.

 

Guys for real that latest RIDE album is where it’s fucking at. Anyone in this thread who hasn’t heard it needs to listen. Thank you @primavera for telling me about this, had no idea.

It’s better than the Slowdive reunion. I thought Slowdive put out a great record but it didn’t match the magic of Souvlaki... but I thought this RIDE album is legit their best. Don’t even need to listen more times to come to that conclusion. It rocks hard and also has smooth atmospheric sections, plenty of both.

 

i said the same exact thing and got fucking roasted online for it lol

 

I just started getting into Ride as a matter of fact.

Tho I adore the newest Slowdive album.

 

new Slowdive is the best Slowdive record

 

Nahhhh, once the midsection of Souvlaki hits it’s just so spectacular. One of those records that gets better as it goes. The new one is smooth and beautiful but idk that it reaches the same peaks of just, outright jamming over spacey riffs and driving bass lines.
