Boris

[40footwolf]

Anyone here a fan of these guys? They're a power trio from Japan-wildly experimental, they cover every genre from doom metal to hardcore punk to ambient-as in, Brian Eno type ambient. They're one of the most interesting, forward thinking bands in music today, in my eyes.

I bring this up because they've started releasing a string of singles-I don't know about the first one and the third one, but the drummer's is really great-I'm pretty sure it has their first attempt at dance music on it. Give it a listen, if you care to: http://www.imeem.com/artists/boris/musi...-original/

And here's what they sound like when they're doing pop rock/noise rock, which is also pretty great: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_GgowniQWk

i do know Boris they are one of the few metal bands i like, you should check out the their albums Pink and Akuma no Uta. Pink will be showing up in my 50 favorite albums of the decade list for sure.

Boris is great. I would like to add Flood and Absolutego. Their collaborations with Merzbow are very good also, and for that one I would recommend Rock Dream

Yeah I caught their last tour when they hit Chicago, great drummer, high energy. I like their faster numbers more than their moody slow ones, but all of them share a sonic assault that destroys most of the limp wristed indie bullshit I usually see.
