Just wondering...
what part of "well, sorta in a way" don't you understand, Cardinal Rob?
I included those words as a disclaimer to alert others that I was going out on a limb a little. I guess I should know better by now.
Scratch Acid are harsh & noisy, unmelodic, etc.
(no part is solely electronic instrumentation though; I suppose that's the line of demarcation)
...& are classified as "post-punk" but they are still sorta industrial, at least as much as Ministry is "industrial rock"...so are many "math rock" bands...Sims & Yow were in it...but do Scratch Acid sound like their later The Jesus Lizard? Fuck no, it doesn't sound like The Jesus Lizard a whole fucking bunch. Both bands are surely confrontational. Scratch Acid is far more out-there and abrasive-for-abrasivesness' sake
(tantamount to the industrial creedo, by the way, I'll remind)
whereas The Jesus Lizard overwhelm the listener with heavy fucking confrontational rock 'n' roll. Both bands are technically classified as "post-punk" but it shouldn't take a genius to realize that the earlier Scratch Acid was influenced by all that was hardcore...which means by goth and industrial as well as punk. Whereas, the Jesus Lizard is post-punk influenced by punk, hardcore, math, and indie rock and by the special vocal talents of David Yow finding his voice.
Case in point: if you know, say, someone that has Skinny Puppy's Bites, then chances are fairly likely they also have Scratch Acid's s/t.
oh yeah...before I forget...
people suck
they just can't help themselves
they rarely agree (if you look me up in a post search I agree a lot with people, although one may tend to just remember the clashes)...
one can never assume that they will understand anything you are relating unless you spell it out from several points of view...(& then if you do that...they call you "pretentious" or "condescending")
Damned if you do...damned if you don't...
and they just cannot refrain from sucking...it's something that they (people) are rather adept at doing.
I never wrote that Scratch Acid were technically an industrial band. That would be nonsense. Thanks for grasping the contextual meaning of my words so very concisely. Thanks for stopping by and gracing us. Just hope we're clear now.
