Portland has some fucking crazy-ass bands. I think its because it rains all the time and people are inside and have all this pent up energy, so they just get manic and bang the hell out of stuff and scream. This link is for a flash video made by e*rock (the guy behind local label Audio Dregs) for one of my favorite of these crazy bands, Point Line Plane. It’s just two guys, one on distorted synths, screaming, and one on drums. And the drummer is awesome! Not sure if it translates to recorded music, but it is totally exciting to see live. And the video is cool.

So now you know what’s up round here.
