Me too, I have heard there name off and on, but I have never heard them... someone get me a copy please...

Shit, man, ask around in Milwaukee sometime and someone will let you hear em'. Start with Cacophony or Death Church...

IRON LUNG!

This thread should be about how awesome Jon & Jensen are.

i love this band. especially cacophony. i wasn't to into pope adrian, though. some dude that posts here put death church on his blog. http://lifesabummmer.blogspot.com/search/label/Rudimentary%20Peni you should buy all their records, though.

Here's a few of my thoughts about or relating to Rudimentary Peni

*I'm a big fan, great band.

*I really wish I had a copy of Pope Adrian 37th on vinyl. I've heard that there are a few copies floating around, test pressings or something.

*The new album is a pretty big letdown. Echoes of Anguish is the last album I can get into.

*Is it common knowledge that they sped up their first few albums?

I have often heard RP categorized as "crust-core". Regardless, I like their sound and have a bunch of their stuff on mp3's. I suppose I could zip together a bunch of albums and post them on Megaupload. PM me if you're interested.

Got the new one. Best RP record since Cacophony. Nick's voice has "aged" really well.

I have Death Church, Cacophony, The EPs of Rudimentary Peni and the new one, No More Pain.

They're all pretty good.

The artwork looks much better when you have the record in your hands, trust me. Iron Lung rules.

You can almost certainly tell he's mentally unstable looking at that. That kind of horror vacui hardly comes from someone who isn't.

"Crust-core" might be the worst description I have ever heard for RP. They have a crust-punk aesthetic, but you can hear elements of everything from doom metal and psych rock to noise and goth-rock (the good bauhaus kind) in their stuff. All over the map musically. Especially for a punk band.

I fucking love this band.
