Bedhead would not count Slint as an influence.

You mean Slint predates Bedhead but did not influence them, or Bedhead came before or at the same time as Slint? I don't have a timeline on it. It just struck me that some bits of Transaction De Novo seemed very Slint-like.

Bedhead needs some more votes. Down 20 to Beefheart, among groups with no Crap votes

Slint (87-92) was a bit before Bedhead (92-98 ), though as I understand it, some of the songs on WhatFunLifeWas were around in varying forms for quite a while before the record came out in '94.

Cheers...in that case, and in the absence of any in-depth knowledge of the band, I have to say it sounds like Bedhead were quite influenced by Slint, to my ears. I don't mean any harm.

The only influence I hear in Bedhead is the 3rd Velvet Underground album.

Bedhead is of those bands you cannot never get tired off, its twingling of guitar playing makes a universum of its own. The mood seems a dreamy state. Codeine was the closest I found when it comes down to sound. This is my cup of tea, noisepop.

Only because I can't decide how to vote. Bedhead are a null set for me.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but I never thought Bedhead sounded anything close to Slint. I mean, their last album had a triangle on almost the entire album.

I never heard any noisepop, and only about 2.3 seconds worth of music that might qualify as Slint in Bedhead's work.
