British 'noise-rock' bands which aren't Shoegaze or Jesus and Mary Chain... anyone?
 

Okay, so there seems to be loads of American noise-rock bands out there, and its all fuckingg great, but I'm really interested in hearing some British feedback now, and Shoegaze, as much as I love it, does get a little wearing sometimes. So, british noise-rock which isn't Shoegaze?

Suggestions please

Whitehouse
Skullflower

Not noise, but PiL are definetly worth checking out if you're into experimental music at all.

Ashtray Navigations
Birds Of Delay
Aufgehoben
The Wolfhounds

Not sure if I'd call those bands noise rock. Ashtray Navigations are more a psychedelic band to me than anything.

fuck buttons

Thanks for the suggestions, i will check them out. PiL I've been into for a while, at least early PiL with Jah Wobble.

whitehouse and skullflower are definitley where you wanna start though.

pil is a pretty cool choice too, they definitley made use of avant noise at times.

and since when are the stooges fucking british?

crass can easily fall into the catagory of noise rock.

How could PIL make use of avant-noise sounds when I doubt the term even existed at the time, I wonder? PIL isn't noise-rock but a great band nonetheless.

ha ha, i really don't know that much about them, i love 'we will fall' the rest is neither here nor there. i ought to delete that little slip up really.

Flowers of Romance is the most experimental of their work, almost completely led by percussion.

Giddy Motors

so the velvets never made use of "avant noise" sounds, and nihilist spasm band wasnt a noise band, right? jsut because a term didnt exist didnt mean the sound didnt exist. no pil wasnt noise rock but they most definitley had experimental tendencies, and yes they were brilliant.

There's a cool band called Rent Boy Assassin.
They sound like the Fall , but more thrashy and nervous ( anyway they have released just one split 7' as far as I know , you'll never find it )

Headbutt could also be labeled noise-rock , with a strong industrial touch , though.

I guess you could call McLusky noise-rock.

definitley

I have no idea of what you're trying to say there, sorry. I think that you also pretty much forget that The Velvet Underground certainly didn't come from avant noise at all. Unless, of course, this is the proverbial dilemma that crops up on this forum when a certain degree of ear-sharpness is required to tell what noise is.

Computer says no.
