Motionless was a great album

which I picked up by chance. Nice scratchy guitar.


I heard Chokebore the other day

thanks to AmRep tag radio on last.fm. I was really impressed.


Motionless

is the only album I own, but I haven't listened to it for many years. From what I remember, it was tense with choppy guitars, but much less in the AmRep style than what was typically associated with the label. This thread is a good reminder to dig the album out.


Chokebore

were pretty cool - Anything Near Water was a great album as well. A band I was in supported them years ago, and they were quite amazing live as well.

AmRep had a few bands in a similar vein, like Cows and Today Is The Day. In fact I think I'm going to have to start pulling out a few albums myself.
