[kj] Soundgarden

[Brendan Quinn]

When did they claim to be the new punk
I think you’ve got your lines crossed
on that one. This is one of their few forays into the punk ethic:

Ben Shepherd who wrote the above song, the bassist, was more into the punk
side of things. He defended mixing hillbilly and punk on this track as a
completely natural thing to do because of the energy of the music, nothing
to do with genres at all. Most of the comments I’ve read from them mention
staying away from being pigeon holed into any genre at all. If you want I
can forward you a link to a site with dozens of articles and intereviews
from their whole career, a bit of an irrational domain, but with more (all
lyrics, tab, articles, discography etc etc
quite an amazing site). 

 

To me they share with Killing Joke a certain darkness and intensity, their
lyrics both deal with personal demons, politics, philosophy etc.

 

I can see how some people would find Cornell a bit screamy, esp early on.

I despise Soundgarden (esp. the Led Zep/JudASS Priest vocals), but i
listened to that song "Nothing to Say" or whatever that was just posted, and
I did hear a rather Geordie-esque guitar part...I guess that's why the site
the Joke as an influence (don't they?). I still don't get why they always
claimed to b the new punk though...
