Bands you can ONLY enjoy at high volume
 

Okay, so any bands which you only enjoy when played really loud. Not looking for the old rock n' roll cliche of "all music", rather bands where your listening pleasure notably decreases with volume. And lets face it, most bands you can enjoy just as much at low volume. These are my exceptions:

Dinosaur Jr.

Curve

Bleach

Daisy Chainsaw




Go!

One word: Swans. Check ou the "Cop" LP. Also (and I know you'll yawn at this, but...) any of the Whitehouse live concerts circa 1983 - pick up the official "Slaughterhouse" boot if you can - pretty wild. I would also add any of the stuff the No U-Turn label put out - I still regret flogging the NUT vinyl - damn.

I don't like listening to music at low volume....
Dino Jr

Sebadoh ( Gimme indie Rock !!!)

SY

Polvo

Shellac.....

All music should be listened to loud enough, at least.

But to answer the question:

Earth
Monarch!
Electric Wizard
The Goslings
Loop
High Rise
Part Chimp
Rapeman

Etc...
I can enjoy this shit at lower volume too, of course, but it definitely kills the thrill a bit.

High on Fire

all sorts of things. anything with balls.

I second that, I would also like to add My Bloody Valentine, Sunn 0))), Aphex Twin and any harsh-noise band.

a place to bury strangers, assholes.

we have similar (good) tastes.
"Look at me . I'm a plaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaane!":D

My Bloody Valentine is the truth.

Loveless at low volume=asleep by To Here Knows When
Loveless at high volume=complete unrivaled bliss

also, I'd add Lightning Bolt.


That whole "loudest band in NYC" junk is garbage. That album sounded like Psychocandy-20 years later.

loveless at low volumes is a good listen at bedtime

It's always a cure for a sleepless night.

hella
Jon Spencer Bues explosion
fugazi
big black

Nice call on Big Black.

I actually very rarely listen to ANY music that loudly.

Dinosaur jr.
MBV
SY
Jimi Hendrix
The Jesus and Mary Chain (especially Pyschocandy)
The Velvet Underground ,is there any other way to listen to White Light/White Heat?

Much likewise, as it happens. Except Happy Hardcore, obviously.

obviously!

you suck, they're not even taking this 'loudest new york band' seriously, its just some random shit spread over the internet.

yeah it does sound close to psychocandy and who the fuck cares? its better than anything you'll ever achieve.
