Seminal noise rock duo Lightning Bolt—bassist Brian Gibson and drummer Brian Chippendale—play their bone-crunching live shows on the floor of whatever venue is crazy enough to allow it, using only volume to push back the churning crowd of future tinnitus patients that surrounds them. Fueled by Gibson’s two refrigerator-sized speaker cabs pumping out over three thousand watts of distorted bass alongside Chippendale’s drumstick-shattering rhythms, Lightning Bolt’s elusive concerts—frequently announced only days or hours in advance?...
...written franchising agreement that set royalties at 6 percent. She said that it was a standard contract with lower royalties than major ice cream chains, and that she hoped there were no hard feelings between Stanett and herself.“He marches to the beat of his own drummer,” she said. “If he decided to remain a Herrell’s and pay his royalty and move forward with our company, we would love to have him.”For now, the Square’s assortment of ice cream and frozen...
...band that made records under its own name for just eight years, at the bright high noon of rock 'n' roll, and broke up nearly four decades ago. Another anomaly: only in their earliest gestation, playing in Germany and in Liverpool's Cavern Club with Pete Best as their drummer, were the Beatles truly a Rock Band.

...vibrant songs that Hart has ever released. “Round Again,” the album’s centerpiece and a top contender for its catchiest song, layers guitars and bass over a wall of fuzz and relentless drumming by Jeff Mangum (OTC’s original drummer, later of Neutral Milk Hotel fame). Hart’s vocals, sedate throughout most of his tenure with Circulatory System, suddenly take center stage. “Do you think we can lift this shadow?” he asks, following this question with urgent repetition?...
There was something different about the resurrection of Dinosaur Jr. even from its abstract beginnings. Before Pavement brought the slacker ethos to its natural, albeit eccentric climax, the reformed hardcore punks J. Mascis and Lou Barlow, along with drummer Murph, sculpted murky, long-range guitar workouts for the laid-back and the incidentally employed. Mascis’ twangy intonation rendered the kind of vocal performance that seemed as surprised as the listener with the craggy and uncompromisingly melodic. Not unlike the generation of grunge bands it inspired, it never seemed meant to last. Well-beloved but critically understated in general...
