Wolf Eyes

If you're a fan of noise, then you'll know Wolf Eyes. This American noise group are as punk as noise can get, with trashy vocals that you have to strain to make out, loud crusht noises, and heavy HEAVY bass that actually tore my speakers apart, and an awesome use of effects. Knob twiddling vocalist Nate Young, guitar fucker-upper Aaron Dilloway and free-noise stylist John "Crazy bastard with the mace" Olson make up the trio, and have managed to churn out about 150 albums, like if Zappa took more drugs and kept on playing weirder and weirder instruments.

Wolf Eyes appeared around 1997 when Nate Young quit the music groups he was in at the time. His musixal style was always experimental, and he started to experiment more, making louder and more violent sounding noises, making instruments out of bits of crap and broken instruments. After that came Dilloway, who was previously a guitarist for the Ann Arbor based droup Galen. Together they'd make some pretty awesome noise, but the band really came together when John Olsen joined up. At the time, he was playing saxaphone with an improv-noise group called Universal Indians. He met Young and Dilloway at a show that they were performing at, and from there, Wolf Eyes was born.

Wolf Eyes record pretty much every thing they play, so there's an abundance of records out there for you to add to your collection, and it's well worth it. Even a few friends of mine who aren't particularly into noise music agree that Wolf Eyes stand out from the crowd, and make some pretty hardcore music worthy of a listen.

For your pleasure, here's Wolf Eyes perforing at Analog Shock. Enjoy!

Prurient

For those noise fiends out there, or to who ever is reading this, I bring you Prurient.

This fucker is the most well known noise musician out there, and I think one of the best. His music revolves around the theme of anti-technology (Obviously disregarding what he uses to make his music, of course). Using objects like scrap metal, live wires, feedback and shotgun shells, it’s really some thing amazing to hear.

He now runs his own label, Hospital Productions, which churns out some of my favourite noise music. From there you can order his albums and what not.

While I realise that noise music isn’t for every one, I do think that it’s well worth a try. Broaden your horizons, bitches! So, here’s my favourite video of Prurient doing what he does best, screwing with stuff and making awesome noise!
