Honor Role - The Pretty Song LP [1986]
A fairly unknown post-punk group from Richmond Virginia who are a forgotten or perhaps a never even known influence on post-hardcore, indie math rock etc. The likes of Drive Like Jehu, Rocket From The Crypt, Fugazi and Superchunk acknowledge their influence and you gotta think Slint, Don Cabellero, Polvo, Unwound maybe even Eddy Current Suppression Ring and many others benefitted artistically by listening to Honor Role.
Here's a few tunes from their 1986 LP on Eskimo/No Core Records which is more classic punky post-punk as opposed to their 1989 follow up Rictus on Homestead which was more on the experimental noisey math rock tip.
*I get there's some lazy, atemporal and reading history backwards zoomer retardedness going on in the snippet reviews below but for just one day only I don't care.
Throwing Rocks [1986]
Bringing you the lo-fi 90s in 1986.
My Place [1986]
That lost bewildered sound filled with regret and defiance, wait for exciting classic guitar bit at 1:37.
Six [1986]
Layers of gloom like if Rowland S Howard collaborated with Slint.
Present Conditions [1986]
Downbeat 80s eeriness with Galaxie 500 (who didn't even exist yet) amounts of reverbed guitar. Hard not to think this is a lost classic.
Care Taker [1986]
Sonically somewhere between Tactics and Chameleons.
