I am genuinely blown away by this genre.

I have no idea what “no wave” is. I’ve seen it used to describe both The Ramones and Swans.
Nicholas Mitchell
I've seen No wave described in filth by swans.
That album too I loved, with its heavy bass.
Jeremiah Thomas
Glenn Branca - The Ascension is the pinnacle. There's not terribly much of it because it's limited. The first couple swans/sonic youth albums fall into it but they took it elsewhere. Contortions and DNA on that comp have their own albums (Buy and DNA on DNA respectively) although they all get kinda samey. Also you can go back to Beefheart if you feel so inclined.
James Martinez
what. ramones are not no wave at all.
Juan Scott
Branca always seemed the quintessential to me.
Dominic Sullivan
No Wave is just a scene of New York underground musicians who didn't like Punk becoming commercialized. It's sort of like Post-Punk but more noisey and extreme. Ramones don't qualify, Swans early stuff does along with some of Sonic Youth's early stuff but their most famous albums don't qualify.
John Lee
God bless James Chance for punching Cuckgau in the face.
Jayden Nguyen
Why did he do it?
Colton Hughes
DNA is essential
Swans' first EP is probably my personal favourite no wave release, it's a shame they abandoned the scene after that EP. I've never heard another no wave release with a saxophone, but it fits so well
Brayden Johnson
Literally that comp. If you weren't part of the scene it isn't worth getting into it. Join your own local scene. If it's shit, make it better.
Anthony Brown
Christgau doesn't like No Wave and Noise rock
Isaac Sullivan
holy fuck
based if true
Daniel Gutierrez
>I've never heard another no wave release with a saxophone
What a fucken pleb
Parker Ortiz
it was a movement and not a specific sound, like this user summed up
Christian Price
listen to Mars
based if true
the absolute madman actually did that?
Aaron Wright
>I've never heard another no wave release with a saxophone
Isaac Foster
Christgau went to one of his shows, and in true Christgau fashion, picked a fight with him.
Ryder Taylor
DNA are essential, of course. love their EP. and the no wave compilation by Soul Jazz is a very good primer (but you've gotta go with the first version).
Jordan Harris
surprised nobody has said Teenage Jesus and the Jerks yet
Cooper Lopez
I don't like trout mask replica.
I feel like No wave improved on what trout mask replica started.
Jayden Jenkins
Performance at Artists Space in Soho on May 3, 1978. Christgau maintains that he actually won the fight.
Juan Watson
the absolute madman actually punched his pregnant gf
Adrian Sullivan
how one man can be this based
Sebastian Garcia
That story seems a little misleading since Christgau has been married to his wife since the mid-70s and they don't have any biological children. I understand it was just a friend of his he was with.
Dylan Cook
Michael Gira once sent his semen to Christgau in the mail. I think he tagged it with something like "for oral consumption"
John Gutierrez
>tfw James Chance aborted Christgau's child
Eli Hughes
Theoretical Girls, but you really only need to listen to the live version of their self-titled song
Benjamin Gomez
I fucking love the Stickmen, they're slightly more funky than some of their contemporaries but god damn they're great cuneiformrecords.bandcamp.com
Aaron Cooper
holy shit
Charles Foster
>DNA
>primer
I really hope this was intentional
Mason Wright
In addition to these check out Mars, and Tennage Jesus and the Jerks.
I've literally never seen anyone call the Ramones no wave.
Juan Sanders
Jason Myers
At 1:10 is that Christgau??

Nathaniel Nelson
Probably not everyone’s cup of tea but this is one of my favorite No Wave albums. Glenn Branca/Twyla Tharp ballet on side one. John Giorgio poetry set to music on side two.

Ayden Torres
Is it possible to say that no wave is american post punk?
Gabriel Ross
There were a number of Americans that were involved in Punk-Punk. It was a global movement.
Dominic Cooper
Americans literally started post-punk, just like punk, and the Brits took credit for both.
Colton Perry
Post-Punk*
Justin Robinson
They definetely influenced No Wave along with free jazz.
Jaxon Hall
>Americans literally started post-punk
lmao mutt cope
Jacob Wright
Ramones influenced Free Jazz?
Cameron Turner
I'll give you a list of bands that haven't been posted yet that you'll probably never listen to:
>Circle X
>Blurt
>Milk From Cheltenham
>Rosa Yemen
>Suicide
>Arab On Radar
Eli Cruz
I don't know if I would consider Arab On Radar No Wave.
Jacob Morris
They weren't part of the scene. They were later, but they did have a similar sound and way of making music. But then again, you're probably right. You kind of have to stretch the definition in order to consider them.
Connor James
I guess it depends on the definition of No Wave. I agree that they do have some characteristics of No Wave, soundwise, but they came out in the 90s. No Wave was pretty much over by the early 80s. There is also the revival of the 2000s era of "No Wave" bands, as well.

Both Thurston and Gira both played in Branca's band and were on his albums. Branca also released Sonic Youth and Swans early records.
