do you like sweaty math rock?.......2001-09-26

i shouldnt say math rock, cause thats probably the most over used term in the history of the indie scene, but goddam, these guys (along with breadwinner) were the pioneers of the sound. aggressive, emotional takes on rocknroll, good luck finding this puppy, its waaaaaaay out of print, try ebay. oh yeah, don cab cite these guys as a MAJOR influence, so if youre into the aforementioned, check these bastards out.

Not punk, not rock, Sing The Troubled Beast is a cross between the two. I used to throw this on in the morning when I needed a little boost to get ready for class or work. Atmospheric at times, straight up thrash at others, try and get your hands on a copy if you can.

PRE-POST-ROCK GEM!.......2005-03-07

It is great that these records are available again. I was turned onto Bastro shortly after they disbanded(much to my chagrin). Back in the day they were pigeon-holed as a Big Black wannabe but I think that is solely because their 1st ep had a drum machine. With the addition of John McEntire, they became a real noise-art-rock juggernaut. Although David Grubbs and McEntire went on to start the whole "post-rock" hoo-ha with Tortoise/Gastr del Sol/etc., this is not ringing snares and sparce acoustic noodling. Bastro is pure maximalist rock that was not afraid to throw more at the listener than they could understand. There is ample noise and the drumming in thunderous but it is never done in a way that doesn't serve the song. At a time when noisy usually equalled dumb, Bastro took the tools of dischord, frantic drumming, feedback and made something that was unique, rewarding and just as original sounding today as it did when it was originally released. I can't recommend it enough.
