About Me

Joyful Noise is the thin cellophane wrapping protecting you from the rotten sludge of the decomposing mainstream since 2003. Releasing everything from psychotropic ambience to mathy-prog core - hyper-experimental rock to symphonic noise; this is music that is heavy, beautiful, clever, moving and absurd.


My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 11/12/2004
Band Website: joyfulnoiserecordings.com
Band Members:

Abner Trio

Extremely off-kilter indie-pop for fans of shifting time signatures and spoken word wisdom.



Child Bite

This is disco for the undead: solid, consistently danceable post-post-punk with a brazenly psychotic, progressive edge.



Grampall Jookabox

Experimental sound-collage explorations of genuine Americana songwriting - in an end product which they dub "Jungle Folk."



LAFCADIO

Prog and Math rock combine within the boundaries of extreme technical metal.



Man at Arms

The spastic muttering of a primeval brit-punk record meets the more contemporary arrangements of modern math-rock with this Michigan based guitar/drum duo.



Melk the g6-49

All the traditional melodies and musical conventions have been stripped away leaving the bare bones of an epic noise-rock opus. It is relentless, it's loud, it's mathy, it's symphonic without being rigidly structured.



Push-Pull

Imagine Cream's pop structures arranged for the Mahavishnu Orchestra, probing areas untouched by The Wipers, King Crimson, Big Star, or Shellac.



Receptor Sight

Receptor Sight has developed as a vehicle to push musical boundaries. The northern California duo creates astonishing soundscapes reminiscent of everything from Can to Sonic Youth, to early Floyd and Coil.



Stationary Odyssey

A unique and unpredictable blend of noise-rock. Aggressive guitars, atmospheric sounds, electro beats, noise, and pop melodies all find their way into the music of Stationary Odyssey.
