United Nations

The "power violence" group (whatever that means) started by Daryl Palumbo (Glassjaw) and Geoff Rickly (Thursday). They uploaded one song to their MySpace tonight/this morning, but I can't seem to find it due to them completely redesigning their page. Oh well, I'm sure it'll be on the torrents later today. But, yeah, anyone else psyched for this album (September 9th)? I'm a big fan of Glassjaw and Thursday, so I have high hopes for this project.

That said, Glassjaw's new album needs to be completed and released, like, yesterday. Goddamnit.

I'm psyched for this. Glassjaw was/is amazing and I have high hopes for this. I'm not into this type of music but I've always enjoyed Daryl's bands.

 

There don't seem to be any tracks on their Myspace. Hopefully this is more Daryl than Geoff, anyway.

Can't wait, I'm so excited for this...

And Dean, it's not really more of one or the other apparently, it's just a collab.

 

I figured, I just said that because I don't really like Thursday.

 

Power violence? Genres can be way too specific sometimes

 

It's obviously a Nazi group, albeit one with a member who's usual band's other central member is Jewish.

 

If that was true, I'd expect a song title like, "Hitler Is My Baby's Daddy" or something...

 

Just to clarify, power violence is a sub-genre of grindcore. Yeah.

 

This band is going to be fucking mental.

 

I just realised; Daryl Palumbo in a grindcore band? Think of the possibilities!

 

Converge's drummer, Ben Koller, is also involved with the band.

That said, I'm excited for this. It'll be awesome to hear what they can do, since this is easily outside of their paradigms.

 

I have to hear this band right now.

 

Listening to this on myspace. Br00tal!

 

Holy shit. Daryl sounds more like Dan Weyandt than his usual screaming, haha.

 

wtf, this isn't music.

 

I can't decide who's screaming, Daryl or Geoff.

Either way, this is decidedly not grindcore at all.

 

Well yeah, it is, to a certain extent anyway. The only place referring to it as just grindcore is the article on Geoff from Wikipedia anyway. It does fit under power violence pretty well but I'm never using that term ever again because I'm not some pedantic hardcore fan.

 

Not that MySpace gives artists much choice, but their genre listing has them under 'grindcore'. There's really no significance to that, but yeah.

 

Then again, most of the tracks are at least five times too long to be grindcore.
