A-Frames - 333


Genre: Robot Punk
Sounds Like: The Intelligence, Mclusky without the yelling

Whenever the Rapture happens (wasn't it supposed to be a few days ago?) I'm going to spend my last moments sitting on the beach, staring directly into the sun and listening to this band.

The A-Frames were a really great band that put out a couple awesome albums about 10 years ago. Their whole schtick involved monotonous vocals laid over gross, distorted basslines. Add some detuned apocalyptic guitar, a little noise, and serve chilled. I would recommend all of their albums (especially Black Forest) but the one I'm posting is actually just a compilation of a bunch of singles and demos. It's as good a place as any to start (although it's a little long and drags on in parts). Standout songs include Shadows and Satellite Around You (linked below).
