Unwound by a damn sight.

Early Unsane w/Charlie Ondras drumming and Pete Shore on bass was just furious and relentless. (I don't care much about the more standardly heavy, tough-guy stuff that came later.)

Unwound always just sounded like an indie rock band to me.

Unsane.

Snarky 3rd answer- Unrest

Honestly, I’ve probably listened to the first couple of Unsane records way more than Unwound. Not sure why Unwound never stuck to me. Seems like I should like them.

Unsane

Unsane.

~YUP!!! except that my inner metalhead dig records like "Scattered..." and "occupational hazard" quite a bit... Unwound did little for me and has aged badly IMO like most of that post-fugazi/post-hardcore 90s stuff (see also:Jawbox, Drive like Jehu)...

Me too. Would go Unsane but the bass in Unwound is too good.

No vote.

"Remember that time the guy from Human Impact predicted the future?"

I like that this is a contest between a band defined by restraint and one with a determined lack of it. It's like a thunderdome between Low and Coalesce if their names shared a prefix.

I suppose they both use a fairly limited palette to great effect.

Still can't vote, both are too awesome. All waffles.

wft happened to Unsane?



"Unsane". Chris Spencer and 2 Scabs more like. Their new live bits I heard on youtube sounded feeble too. FFS.
