Ricaine. Midget. Mark of Cain. My Disco. Blacklevel Embassy. Scul Hazzards. Am I wrong in assuming that this is an Australian tradition?

You'd have to look at the figures worldwide per country per capita to determine if it is particularly Australian or a worldwide trend.

I'm erring toward the latter.

I have Albini worship, but I'm not in a trio. Make what you will of this information.

The trio I was playing in had its first rehearsal in 5 years. It fits the above criteria.

The Mark Of Cain actually predated a lot of the bands they were later compared to, like Big Black and Helmet. They started in 1984, though their first recordings didn't come out until 88.

My tenuous memory of those early Mark of Cain recordings was that they were a lot more like Joy Division than Big Black. Haven't heard them for a while though, and those latter albums do sound a lot more Albini-like.

It's a tradition...of being awesome. (Or trying to be).

How can they predate Big Black?

Big Black was an American punk rock band from Evanston, Illinois, active from 1981 to 1987.

Ha! I was in that band for a little bit.

Oh, and SWORDS.

Velodrone  said about 3 months ago:

I only played two shows with them. I wasn't ''good enough'' and was kicked out so the drummers girlfriend could join.
