Slint

Slint is one of the earliest post-hardcore, math rock, emoish band from 1986 the band did 3 releases about 17 just like the band Saetia. There first release is Tweez which is a nice classic to me but there second release spiderland is far more of a classic in my opinion even one of the songs from Spiderland "Good Morning, Captain" was featured in the movie Kids (By the way its a fucking epic mid 90's film about teenagers from new york engaging to sex, drugs, alcohol, and sadly aids.) The band broke up in 1994. They lastly released a 2 song single 10"/CD the 2 songs were unreleased songs that were going to be on a 12" after the release of tweez but never happened. Im happy I came across this band last year I believe. They did a reunion in 2007 but it was impossible for to even go since it was in a different state. I am a stoner and enjoy shit that sounds like this. You kids should check it out. Lately I also been on Slint's balls listening to Spiderland getting high on pills (which isn't normally what I do, but fuck it) I love the guitar dynamics and odd tune of the guitars. It isn't your typical green day cliche band. You can also hear where Kolya got there influence from as well.
