Tonight / 206 Four Bands From the Sludgier Side of the Northwest Punk Spectrum

Posted by on Fri, Feb 15, 2013 at 11:23 AM

(Black Lodge) Brace yourselves for another gleefully noisy night at the Black Lodge with four bands that fall on the sludgier, heavier side of the Northwest punk-rock spectrum. Cascadia may be the most gentle of the bunch, with Sleater Kinney–style breaks of melodic vocals between bursts of slashing guitar and drums. Weed have a more droning, dreamy (you might even say stoned), wall-of-sound approach, with syncopated rhythms to keep things interesting. Olympia's Naomi Punk are a minimalist-punk threesome and clearly a branch off the classic K Records family tree. I confess I don't know much about Wasted USA and can't find any tracks online. Wild card!

Wasted USA is the former drummer of My Goodness, who is guaranteed to be involved in something good.

cascadia's sound is neither "gentle" nor at all like sleater-kinney. lazy, lazy, lazy.
