"New" Music - (4)

Eyehategod

Well, to me it's "new". For me, pre 1992 is old, post 1992 is new. They've been around since '88, but I've never listened to them before, so I'll call them new. "Punk" and "Hardcore" bands that formed after 1986 are all but completely alien to me. Too, many that were around before 1986 I never heard of. If they didn't hit Philly, have an album one of my friend's owned, or get mega air play on the local college radio stations at the time, I wouldn't have heard of them.

I really like the music, but the lead vocals? Ummm... sort of reminds me of bands like Bad Brains or The Germs... brings to mind sounds of puking. Not that it's a bad thing, just not my preferred vocal style. I do like the music though.
