This post is mostly inspired by what was possibly the best weekend of gigs of I have experienced in my relatively short life. Without getting into it too much, I had the pleasure of seeing Thee Nodes twice, and experiencing the wrecking ball of debauched madness that is this band live. Oooooh boy.
Anyway, Thee Nodes are a four piece punk band from Montreal, Canada and basically they sound like The Mummies on a combination of mind altering substances. Lead by 'vocalist' Mr. Node's warped, screeching vocals - the band play a hyperactive, chaotic re-imaging of garage punk. Over the span of their four (current) releases, Thee Nodes have honed their craft into a boisterous, energetic maelstrom of overdriven, noisy punk that's a bit too chaotic to be called catchy but too catchy to be called chaotic. I wasn't able to pick their latest cassette up at the show (F.R.E.A.X is a compilation of all their releases so far), but here's the next best thing - a download of all their releases so far for you to get your grubby mitts all over.
As good as their music is recorded, it seriously pales in comparison to the live show these guys put on. Seriously - if you ever get a chance to see Thee Nodes live - do it.
