Blake is a Math rock band ofthe late 90s from Canada. their sound was intricate, noisy and ahead of its time.
This eponymous release serves to bookmark Blake's career, in presenting recordings from 1996 (at the apex of naive intensity) and 1999 (the most introspective moments of Blake's "blue period"). Blake though driven to collapse by their always-explosive inner tension, was variously reincarnated as Rockets Red Glare. If Okara and Shotmaker mean anything to you, you'll love this.

The Stabs - Dirt (2006) + 7'' (2004)


Imagine Laughing Hyenas meet Jesus Lizard, but bored.
from their last.fm profile
They have the honour of clearing the ‘Airport Lounge’ at Monash Uni faster than any other lunchtime act, with only three diehards ending up braving the wall of noise for the whole set.

Swallow were an early grunge band that didn’t make the major label jump. They cut some of the earliest Sub Pop records, shared bills with some future star bands, and broke up before the Alternative Nation frenzy. With two front men, Swallow also had two kinds of sound: Chris Pugh was more pop-grunge, and Rod Moody leaned more towards heavy grunge rock. At some moments, they also had a bit of an early Soul Asylum (and yes, that band used to be cool, too) feel to them.

Imagine the Butthole Surfers, Jesus Lizard/Scratch Acid, Birthday Party and Fungus Brains all stuck in a blender.  Turn on blender and the stuff that comes out the other end would approximate the sounds that S.P.U.D. were creating at the tail end of the eighties/early nineties.  The lead singer sounds like he just woke up after being in a drug induced coma for 100 years!
