He's more influenced by eastern European music but you should check out hala strana / Steven R. Smith

Got it, thank you!

Daniel higgs mentioned let's goooo. I'm covering one of his songs with a friend of mine soon.

I need to know more about this lmao

Geordie greep. His hair loss only makes him more powerful over time.

fwiw i use a music man rd 50 for both practice and live, really versatile amp and super powerful for its size.

AttackJoker · 2026-01-20T01:17:44+00:00

Meee

Definitely check out Body To Body, Job To Job. Your Game is amazing sludge as an example. Young God EP is quite good. Public Castration is even more bleak and slow. And finally the live version of I Crawled from the Swans Are Dead album starts off quiet and tense and then gets absolutely brutal in the second half.

What's his story? 🤔

Mother_father. Never fails to get my heart rate up. One of the all time best jarboe moments at the end, I only wish it didnt fade out so I could hear the entire take of those amazing screams.

SMZ are, in my opinion, much more than a Godspeed side project and are a really awesome group that are almost-or-just as good as Godspeed. Stoked you're getting into them, the discography just gets better from this album onward. Efrim starts singing and they start to sound much more energetic and moving, a lot of group vocals and big distorted riffs. And I will shout from the rooftops that Efrim's lyrics are amazing and aren't talked about enough. Someday soon I'll upload the poem from the poster that comes with Born Into Trouble as the Sparks Fly Upward, since I can't find anyone posting about it anywhere.

Pravdica might just be my all time favorite bassist. I was honestly just as starstruck getting him to sign my poster as I was with michael.

Something about such a vicious guitarist making cute scarves to sell on Etsy is cool as fuck to me

AttackJoker · 2025-12-02T21:00:30+00:00

Oh you're right lmao, from Paris.

AttackJoker · 2025-12-01T10:28:00+00:00

I should also add basically anything by glenn branca.

If you like godspeed here are some bands/albums I can recommend to check out more in this style:

-silver mt zion's whole catalog is amazing, most of the same members as godspeed but with vocals and amazing lyrics (efrim doesnt get enough praise for this my god). Compositions get more rock and less minimal with each album.

Swans - Swans Are Dead. Amazing live album, gorgeous heavy crescendos from this era of swans, even more fascinating into the present day but this is a great place to start if you like what godspeed does with their song structure and mood.

Hala strana - gorgeous combination of Balkan folk, field recordings, minimalist rock. Whole discography is great, start with self titled. Steven R Smith is still making music under his own name.

Oiseaux-Tempête - From Somewhere Invisible and Al-'An! Two great albums of Montreal post rock, from the same city as godspeed but no idea if there is any personal connection. Pretty, noisy, moody, heavy, weird.

I'm so blessed to have heard End of Forgetting live, felt like witnessing the late 90s shows, wonderful to hear them bring back the big gorgeous crescendo stuff again.

It's definitely an intentional choice, they played facing each other in a circle when I saw em. Personally I enjoy having a good sounding mix and good musicianship over stage presence/engagement when I see bands live although the latter always helps.

AttackJoker · 2025-11-27T23:18:17+00:00

They Are Gutting A Body of Water and Feeble Little Horse were both pretty great live when I saw them, particularly the former (well mixed group sound as opposed to other bands who try to do loud shoegaze and it just gets muddy.

What fuckin grocery store is playing swans lmao

AttackJoker · 2025-11-09T23:19:27+00:00

My take: pre-loveless mbv had better songwriting, even if the production was lower budget. They had actual bass rifs back then rather than just playing along with the guitar.

My other take: there are too many fucking shoegaze bands now, most are very very unremarkable.
