first time i heard them was on a mixtape this guy gave me cus I gave him some buckfast one night. It was unmarked, no listing or anything and only had 3 bands on it, nirvana, dead kennedys and this weird unknown band. the first few tracks I thought were interesting but not enough to warrant me finding the guy and asking him who it was, the 3rd however was the closest thing I'd heard at that time to the perfect music for me. "chewing george lucas' chocolate/goofy's concern." Real heavy, distorted guitar, rebellious-couldnt-give-a-fuck lyrics and that stupid "chewin chocolate, doggy dropped it" intro. I looked for that guy for a whole week to find out who it was. I bought locust abortion technician as soon as i found out but it was too crazy for my 15/16 yr old ears and I kinda forgot about them.
Then about 2 years later I was over at a friends and he had on Electric Larryland, that blew me away, in my mind these were songs that the beatles might have written if they were about in the 90s, poppy but weird enough to hold my attention. Since then I've learnt to appreciate the earlier noisey stuff just as much as the newer poppier stuff.
Screamingskull, if i were you I'd go for independant worm saloon cus it's kind of the midpoint between noise and pop... in fact, you can get most of the buttholes cds in music zone for £5 to £7
