Interesting and highly relevant topic! I feel that the best noise acts and artists are walking that same thin line between the seriousness and humor or plain weirdness that TG did back in the days.

And i think that this phenomenon can be observed in current Finnish noise scene, where many artists might fall into "weird noise" category. I mean things like Testicle Hazard and the dual nature and tension of their humourous titles and album covers versus the actual sonic matter, same goes with Umpio etc.  I feel that most of time the weirdness and absurdity are in some way the manifestations of artists own personality.

Testicle Hazard is one of the best examples of what I like to see, that's the perfect blend of absurdity with relentless brutality. It's easier to take it however your mind is perceiving it because of that outward expression of absurdity with the name and album covers. Kiki & Krastor is one of my favorite noise albums because it's easier with the way it's presented when I see the cover and name to have more free association going than say if it was some shirtless angry man in a ski mask yelling nonsense at a crowd. When I listen to noise I tend to actually think of mundane places and situations. That tends to be how I enjoy extreme music in general, it's more of a psychedelic experience than a down to earth one no matter the subject matter. It forces me out of the realm of the concrete.

Nowadays I just order through NHFA directly. I don’t know what kind of blood pact Mikko made with the postal service but my stuff always arrives quickly… hell, even faster than domestic distros most the time!

Is there active US distros for rough noise anymore?

Direct purchase is the easiest, as shipping to USA until 500g weight is 7euro. That can include up to 4 jewelbox CD's, digipaks possibly more.  Even entire batch.

(Items can be found, UK, Germany, Japan, Italy, Finland, Canada,..)


Malignant Mailorder and Analog Worship (only tapes and vinyl) both stock rough noise.  Klaxon Records also tends to stock some.

We are pleased to present Evicshen as the headliner of Initial Shock. Victoria Shen is a sound artist, experimental music performer, and instrument-maker based in San Francisco. Shen's sound practice is concerned with the spatiality/physicality of sound and its relationship to the human body. Her music features analog modular synthesizers, vinyl/resin records, and self-built electronics. Eschewing conventions in harmony and rhythm in favor of extreme textures and gestural tones, Shen uses what she calls "chaotic sound" to oppose signal and information, eluding traditionally embedded meaning.
 
Her personal identity; her body; is the space her work utilizes to restructure sonic meaning. In her live performances, she proposes an exploration between meaning and non-meaning through the physical activation of noise tropes. Her probing into these melodic voids interrogate the ways we perceive value within aural experiences. The appendage-like instruments and objects she makes, exemplify Shen’s ability to embody through sound her interest in the tension created by opposition: control and chaos, the unique and the mass produced, the practical and the absurd.


Another of our American performers at Initial Shock is SHREDDED NERVE, the primary moniker of multimedia artist Justin Lakes. His recordings and performances incorporate found sounds, electroacoustic instrumentation, analog synthesizers, and elaborate handmade cassette loops. Originally based in Cincinnati, Lakes has operated out of Brooklyn since 2014 where he co-founded the record store Thousands of Dead Gods and subsequent tape label Dead Gods with Matt Boettke (Scant). In addition to publishing printed materials of collages and flyers, he also runs the limited edition CDr imprint Small Mercies.


Canadian-based Alan Bloor (a.k.a. Knurl)’s main inspiration came from working in welding shops, harnessing the sounds of grinding metal to create incredibly powerful harsh noise. Since Knurl’s debut release (and festival namesake), ‘Initial Shock,’ in 1994, Bloor has issued numerous titles on his own Panta Rhei label as well as many other labels including the legendary RRRecords, Self Abuse, and Entartete Kunst (to name a few.) Knurl has also collaborated with other artists including Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth.


Altar Boa has remained essentially reclusive since their inception in 2007. Maintaining a hidden and persistent hand in the mire of underground noise, metal, punk and electronic scenes throughout the last 20+ years, only recently has Altar Boa surfaced publicly through a variety of split cassettes and EPs. Inspired by occulist Dion Fortune, ætheric others, early industrial music and deep ambience in the interstice between the sacred and profane, Altar Boa calls the discomforted listener back to the body they are estranged from.

Tickets are on sale now. All advanced ticket sales include 1 entry into a raffle draw to win one of several prizes the night of the fest and a Scream & Writhe tote bag (while supplies last).

Wasn't there years ago a Projekt Hat LP (or tape?) for which you had to fill out some kind of questionnaire if you wanted to order it? I thought it was mentioned in some other topic but didn't find it with a quick search.

I've sent money in an envelope, paypal'd and made foreign bank transfers, but nowadays it's strictly CDs now and then from a couple of domestic quality distros for me.

I think it can be very easy to mistake absurdity and humor for a kind of slacker piss take "d00d it's just noise" attitude. I know I did when I first got into noise back in the day. I was very strictly into the more serious side of things, whether political, transgressive or artistic. Dramatic, not comic.

I have since learned to also appreciate the absurd and the comic, and can find those qualities in the serious noise as well. I still have no time for slackers or piss-takers. [edit: this goes to my general outlook of life as well, obviously I see things differently now that I'm 45 than when I was 20]
