I recall reading a Lightning Bolt interview a few years back in which Brian Chippendale expressed something to the effect that he was listening to a lot of 'caveman rock.' I don't believe he went into much further description, or named any bands, but that phrase stuck with me.
Caveman rock. I really want to get into caveman rock, if it's anything like what I imagine it to be.
I picture it being simple, rythmic, loud, and dumb. And I don't mean dumb like a room full of Korn fans dumb, I moreso mean... obtuse. Blunt. The music isn't about ideas, poetic lyrics, or pushing boundaries. It's about beating on a drum, feeling it, and nothing more. I picture some Big Business sounding bass, some David Yow-like vocals.
Does this caveman rock already exist? If so, who are its main purveyors?
And, whether I like it or not, the SNES classic 'Chrono Trigger' has shaped my ideas of what caveman rock should be as well:
