Lovely Noise Needing Love

Here's some noisy stuff that I really like but doesn't get much love here. A few of these weren't even listed so I added them and figured I'd make a list for others into this kind of shit.
1Tape Eater
Bleeders


Noisy post-hardcore/screamo thing, not amazing but cool. Free on BC: https://tape-eater.bandcamp.com
2Irk
Bread and Honey


Bass-only noisy sludgey post-hardcore thing meets Meshuggah. Whatever, they're great. Free on BC: https://irkband.bandcamp.com/album/bread-and-honey
3Quartier Rouge
Les Années Lumières


French Daughters, but with a bit of their own thing added. Fucking aces. Free on BC: https://quartierrouge.bandcamp.com/album/les-ann-es-lumi-res
4Pretty Mouth
Fears


Canadian Daughters, but with a lot of their own thing added. Free on BC: http://prettymouth.bandcamp.com/album/fears
5These Monsters
Call me Dragon


These guys are underrated as fuck, even their Sputnik page shits on them. This album is a bit more proggy and jammy, Heroic Dose is a bit more punchy and straight forward. Both are great. Free on BC: https://thesemonsters.bandcamp.com/album/call-me-dragon
6Blacklisters
BLKLSTRS


Another good British band, although I'm a bit more lukewarm on them. Kind of Harkonen meets Pulled Apart By Horses. Free on BC: https://blacklisters.bandcamp.com
7Ari Ari
There's a New Sheriff in Town


Super unknown and almost disappeared from the internet; really lame because I love what they did, even if it was only 5 songs. Kind of spazzy (but not poppy) post-hardcore with manic female vocals. Stream full thing here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wxxBaWEtVA
8For the Mathematics
We Impend


Canadian band that does At the Drive-In via The Mars Volta with post-punk on top. Kinda derivative but not bad, vocals might put some off. I prefer the first album but the second one's on BC: https://yearofthesun.bandcamp.com/album/for-the-mathematics-we-impend
9Lessergreater
TubDrugs


Not much info on this, but seems to be a one-man bedroom project, yet surprisingly good. Guitar-less, scuzzy and dirty post-hardcore/screamy with a few surprises up it's sleeve. Free on BC: https://lessergreater.bandcamp.com/releases
10Inside The Beehive
Drink Bleach; Live Forever


Grindy and delicious, not exactly reinventing the wheel but very well done; love these guys. Free on BC: https://insidethebeehive.bandcamp.com/album/drink-bleach-live-forever
11Tellusian
Collision


Pretty much Crowpath 2.0, so you should know what to expect: dirty tones, great riffs, gritty vox and mini-prog excursions. Stream on BC: https://tellusian.bandcamp.com
12Shora
Shaping the Random


These guys mostly get love for their proggy post-rock album Malval, but their metalcorel days were great as well. IMO they perfected the Converge sound before Converge did. Stream full thing here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAUfxiiACVs
13Morkobot
Morbo


Groovy as fuck, two-bass doom/stoner/sludge/psychedelic band from Italy. Side-project of Ufomammut. Stream (a bit) on BC: https://morkobot.bandcamp.com
14The Mumzees
Heavy Desert


Lucky random find on BC. Makes me think if you took old Kings of Leon and drowned it in sludge. Stream (a bit) on BC: https://themumzees.bandcamp.com
15Weed (Van)
Deserve


Dirty and chilled, makes me think of Sonic Youth and No Age and a bunch of 90's indie. Stream on BC: http://weed.bandcamp.com/album/deserve
16Horse Lover
Neon Cannibal


Great band from Canada that sadly broke up with very little material. Noisy guitars full of effects and throaty lazy talk-vocals ala Jesus Lizard and Daughters. Free on BC: https://hrslvr.bandcamp.com
