oakland Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Man I miss this label. They put out so many of my favorite records. Hammerhead, Helmet, Janitor Joe, Guzzard, Killdozer, Helios Creed, Tar, Cows ... so many amazing records over the years. And who can forget the "Dope, Guns and Fucking in the Streets" series? Just awesome. Discuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xjustinxschwierx Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Count Me included in the old man noise rock club Most of the AmRep bands would eat the bands (that a lot of the people on this board adore) alive, anyway. UNSANE. FTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknroll76 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I bought plenty of Am rep records over the years. I still listen to those Dope, Guns and Fucking LPs once in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakland Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 I think it's odd that more bands haven't picked up on the whole noise genre. 16 did early on, but then got more metal. It seems that the stoner metal influence is very strong on heavy bands these days. I personally don't care for it. Give me overdriven, fuzzed out guitars and fucked up lyrics about losing your mind!

oakland Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 Calvin Krime would be a good add too. Better than that garbage he's doing these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafmx Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Calvin Krime would be a good add too. Better than that garbage he's doing these days. tell me about it. Dress For The Future was fucking classic. even the last little EP they did on Polyvinyl was awesome. i have to admit to liking some Har Mar Superstar songs, even some Sean Na Na but i'll never want anything more than to see Calvin Krime again and again.

lokithelion Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I feel like people in this thread might like this band Gravebound. I'm friends with them, but they're actually awesome. Much dirtier than a lot of Am Rep stuff, but got a similar vibe in their musical philosophies. http://www.the1stfive.com/news/say-hello-to-gravebound/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakland Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 Unsane!! I saw Unsane about two years ago with Mouth of the Architect. Unsane was so fucking loud and awesome it blew my mind. It was the first time I had seen them in about 15 years. They still had if for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deafmx Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 this shit just got real'er. One day after the Amphetamine Reptile Records 25th Anniversary Party in Downtown Minneapolis, we are bringing this show to Northeast. Never in our wildest dreams did we imagine a bill like this could happen in 2010, but it is going to. Check this shit out: Janitor Joe Calvin Krime Freedom Fighters Jet Legs Sunday August 29th | 1pm | Grumpy's Northeast Backyard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakland Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 Wow. I wonder who's playing bass for Janitor Joe since their bass player joined Hole and then died of an overdose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafmx Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 from wiki: Janitor Joe recruited Wayne Davis to replace Pfaff, and continued to write and tour. Amphetamine Reptile released Lucky, the band's second album, in 1994. Pfaff was tiring of Seattle by this time, and took a sabbatical from Hole to rejoin Janitor Joe for a spring tour. Her plans to return to Minneapolis and rejoin Janitor Joe permanently were curtailed when, in June 1994, she was found dead of a heroin overdose in her bathtub. She had planned to drive to Minneapolis the next day; her U-Haul stood, packed, in her garage. Janitor Joe split in 1994, in the wake of Pfaff's death. Breuer and Entsminger went on to form Gnomes of Zurich with Scott Hull, and the band released an album, again on Amphetamine Reptile, entitled 33rd Degree Burns, as well as singles on Reptilian Records and Sister Records.
