Eric Baylies Top 10 in The Noise
Top 10 New England Bands
1. Doomsday Student: Doomsday Student is one of the best live bands in the world and put out incredible skronky post-everything albums.
2. 6 Star General: 6 Star General have been one of my favorite bands for about 10 years. The pride of Warren, Rhode Island, they consistently put out fantastic albums almost annually.
3. Lazertuth: the pride of outer space and southesatern Mass. Lazertuth is a modern day Magma.
4. Goon Planet: Providence has produced a lot of great noisy bands over the years, and Goon Planet is the latest in a long line of geniuses.
5. Pyramid: If Blondie or the Pretenders were a little more punk, but kept the great hooks, they would sound like Rhode Island’s Pyramid.
6. Sick Pills: Chris Evil and company have been cranking out punk gems for a long time, but Sick Pills add touches of The Modern Lovers and Cars to the mix.
7. Picniclunch: Picnic Lunch is the new kings of no wave.
8. David Carradine: Providence thrash punks have been destroying stages world wide for over a decade.
9. Ioneye: Newport, Rhode Island’s Ioneye is the solo project of Stephen Lepre, one of the greatest shredding guitar players on the planet.
10. Olneyville Sound System: OSS has been one the pillars of the Providence noise scene for 20 years, but is set apart a little due to the fact that they happen to also write great songs.

Baylies Band release their new album of all new material and third album for 75orLess. Recorded in Miami just prior to playing the International Noise Conference at Temple Of Bon Matin Headquarters. This record is an instrumental tribute to Terry Riley, John Cage, and the Flaming Lips. Songs 1 and 2 are the same length and in “C” like the Terry Riley classic. Song 3 is songs 1 and 2 combined, so instead of 4 keyboard players, a drummer and bassist, you double your fun. For fans of Blind Idiot God, Saccharine Trust, Faust, US Maple, 6 Finger Satellite, Sonic Youth, Acid Mothers Temple, and Tortoise. Put the two 23 minute songs together (for a third song) and you get a 69 minute sonic orgy for your listening pleasure.

Baylies Band – Fort Thunder Flashback
75OL-080 Baylies Band – Fort Thunder Flashback CD
$7.00 S&H Included
Fort Thunder Flashback gets away from the band’s math and krautrock influences and back to it’s noise and experimental roots, a mix of instrumental improv with sound collages and noise. Previous releases have been described as “screeching down the track like a broken locomotive with their ugly riffs and diseased vocals, kind of like if Lemmy and Leslie West had gotten together and taken some really bad shit. Genius sound deconstruction, a reckless train of musical styles with flayed and reverb guitar noise, plunging off a cliff into a pit of explosives.” Featuring members of Temple Of Bon Matin and humans who have played with Arthur Doyle, members of the Stooges, Acid Mothers Temple, and Sun Ra.
