How long has the board been going? 16 years? I can't believe we don't have a thread for this already....
Post links to relatively new bands you come across who to your ear have some SYish qualities, whatever they may be. Me first! LA Witch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SXQ71YT3Es These guys are from LA and sound like fans of Bad Moon Rising LP, along with stuff like the Cramps. The girl who plays guitar can really play guitar, and the rhythm section are strong too. I saw them tear the roof off a packed out small venue in London earlier this year, I don't think they are a band who will be playing that size of show for long. If you are too impatient to watch all 30mins of the video I linked fast forward to the song starts around 10m 30s. |

Black Spirituals
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJFfeEt35Bs It seems these guys from Oakland have been around for a few years but they only came to my attention last October when I saw them at Cafe Oto. If Thurston and Lee's improv records are your thing then I would strongly advise you to dip in here. Super duper next level shit, some of the highest level of improvising I've ever seen. There was staggering depth and sensitivity in their playing. |

Silver Dick
https://silverdick.bandcamp.com/ I'm looking forward to seeing these guys play in a couple of weeks, if you like the looser moments of Sonic Death I'm sure you'll find plenty to get a boner for with the three mancunian humans. |

I'm pretty sure we talked about something akin to this not too long ago. Maybe it was "Most SY-esque albums" or something. But it probably involves discussion of artists that were already either broken up (Women), painfully well-known (Deerhunter), or had long since turned to absolute butternut shite (...Trail of Dead).
Anyway, I agree. This is a very good idea for an ongoing thread, and it should probably be stickied to the top of this forum. That said, I can't think of anyone new(ish) off the top of my head who sounds like Sonic Youth in 2017. So this might sink like a stone too. I will give it some thought though, and return with hopefully a recommendation or two. |

Arab on Radar is not even new-ish-ish though. There’s some SY in Zen Mother, I’d say. |

Tomorrow Syndicate sounds like Joy Division ate Sonic Youth. Decent stuff.

I would say it certainly counts. I am really, really liking these tunes. Good thread to keep alive. I am discovering some nice stuff through it. |

Posted before, by lack of the real stuff, this has been a nice placebo now and then:

My silly band is pretty much trying (and failing) to rip off SY and Helium

surely Women's album Public Strain has been discussed here before.. I'd recommend it wholeheartedly, to anyone unfamiliar with it.

The intro on this ep has a nice SY dissonance quality before descending into lo-fi death metal: Spectres & Teeth. I'm not sure what the rest of it is like past the third song.

Girl Band has some pretty SY-esque moments, especially the vocals on The Talkies.
Also, this year, the new Cindy Lee album has a lot of very SY-reminiscent stuff. Kind of like Evol-era mixed with The Shangri-Las, or something. |
