All top musicians. Their first LP encapsulates just how concise and phenomenal they were. The double taps on the snare kills me. I’ve never heard any other punk drummer play like that. Each member of this band carved their own unique style and sound.
as much as I respect Sonic Youth, they had no business butting into the black metal scene via a cokehead. the scenes of indie and black metal should stay separate, mutual respect is fine but that's it.
that being said they inspired a lot of bands, including Voivod. apparently Kubinski was a fan of early White Zombie from the same no-wave/no-core scene of mid 80s NYC. now Rob is a director although he should put the band back together and go for their older sound.
Man, if only I'd been born about 13 years earlier, u probably would've caught them in Oklahoma! Oh well, im glad i discovered them at age 13 when this was 13 years old. Changed my life.
Still sound as killer today as when I bought those first 2 records (Cows And Beer 6 song 7" ep and self titled first album). Classic stuff, and love this video from their prime era. Thanks for posting.
Too bad there is no cable content like this anymore. Internet has been a blessing however I think people have become a lot more closed off to new ideas. Never stop rebelling against the norm and keep on playing for the sake of play! Cheers!
Moulding the minds of children around the planet.(myself included). Die Kruzen set the bar very high, very early for every other band on the planet to aspire to. Their recorded music and beautiful living colour videos will remain that way forever. 🤘 👉🇨🇦🌎♥️🎶♾
So many songs on this cable show, im from so cal and was in the scene back then and i heard of them and a couple songs i heard of some where...Wish i had acess to the records back then.it was hard to find new bands if they were not from,LA,SF OR NY.
I made my best music at their age here. But I get what you mean... like how do you have the wherewithal and context at such a young age to just play like that. Pretty cool stuff.
Am I surprised these guys actually have some intellectual depth? The slow-paced interview seems so ironically opposed to the energy of their work, but then again, how excited can you get over a silly interview on cable? Love their eponymous album.
These guys were literally the snartest thing going on in hardcore at the time. There's a smart accuracy only rivaled by the Bad Brains. Voivod owes their sound to them
