Unsane - Against the Grain

[EnigmaticOranmentV6]

Can't believe I just found these guys, oh well. Better late than never \m/

[MrSupercruel]

I have been an Unsane fan since 1991's s/t. Before I heard Unsane I thought Slayer was the most evil sounding band ever to record. Its funny because Slayer fans always love to say things like......" Slayer is the only band who never changed their sound but somehow always got better." I would Respectfully Disagree. While Unsane's production value in terms of recorded output has changed since earlier recordings They remain one of the most menacing sounding acts in heavy rock. Truly talented.

Saw them in Courtrai this year. OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Fucking good

[NC96000]

Visqueen was an amazing album, my favourite track is Shooting Clay :D

[OSSELBORNC]

Best noise band ever bar none!

[imyourmama123]

to fucking good

[bogslug]

Grunge ain't dead.

[Lollonestyle]

@bogslug what the heck are you talking about?

[christlicker]

@bogslug I will fuck you in your grungey ass. I promise. :) :|

[VertigoHarvest]

Il brano è strepitoso; il filmato non mi piace. ... Comunque, GRAN' PEZZO!! B-)

[breatherslayer]

Made ? Was? They still doing it man!!!

[thecrikster]

@breatherslayer Got a new album this year I think.

[WetWalnuts]

Unsane made REAL music about the darkest aspects of American life. They weren't about shock for its own sake. There was real emotion behind their music.

[ryanboller13]

I fucking love this band! And they don't focus on themselves unlike most other bands. I grew up to these guys, we called Punk-Metal



[skorast1001]

fuck yeah!

[yoyoing]

fuckk great song matherfucker...!!!!

[nikkilightbrigade]

unsane 4 thanksgiving in sf yummy

[Stereotest]

@TheAntiPop777

:-)

[shannonstamey]

It sounds like Chris Spencer has a chainsaw in his throat. I'm going to see them in Chicago on the 24th..

[digherbones]

all hail unsane da sikest eva cheerzzz

[Stereotest]

Am I the only who thinks that the intro sounds a bit like "This Love" by Pantera? I mean, otherwise those two don't sound anything like each other, but still...

[Offspringfan64]

Isn't the drummer now drumming for Foetus?

[christbait]

Vinnie's worked in various incarnations of Foetus off and on for years now.

[rewyurre]

Great song!!

[Pugaciov]

Love 'em, but does someone know the lyrics for this song? Can't really understand Chris singing.

[angrypunk666]

@Pugaciov "I saw the things that could be. And now they've gone to stay. You know that I can't take this, I cant watch this go away. It's not the things you told me. It's not the times you stayed. I know I fucked up, I can't make this go away.

[angrypunk666]

@Pugaciov (not sure of the first part of the chorus) ..it's gone astray...against the grain..It wasnt what it should be, It wasnt all the ways, I know to watch what's coming, now I know it comes my way, and now we lost it all and all the times it could have stayed. We know we fucked up and now we know there's just no way...(i'm counting all the ways...its sitting in today...you say there is no way...it was against the grain...) {repeat first verse} it's not perfect, but it's the best i could do.

[angrypunk666]

@Pugaciov keep the faith, brother! I saw these guys about 3 years ago in philidelphia with mouth of the architect (an amazing band) it was truly a reason to live....keep a'rockin! :)

[Pugaciov]

Thank you man. Considering that English is not my native language I find very hard to understand Chris, so thanks again.

I know Mouth of the Architect too, I've got their 2006 album. Nice band.

[drozdal]

I saw things that could be / and now they're come to stay / You know that I can't take this / I can't watch this thrown away / It's like those things you told me / it's like times we stayed / I know I fucked up / I can't make this go away / She kneels to pray / Things gone astray / Against the grain / It wasn't what it should be / It wasn't all the ways / I would not watch what's coming / now I know it comes my way...

;)

[angrypunk666]

thanks man! i had a feeling i was a tad off! keep the faith brother!

[Icantunderstandyou]

This is one of those song you just can't help listening to twice! This stops at the river is my favourite on the album though!

[44eelz]

sounds like something ed gein would

listen to when he plays golf ;-)

[Icecreamman727]

fucking awsome vid.! unsane rules NY noise! dont you forget it!

[ranalanis]

UNSANE is the best, they do not need crazy solos and fast beats on drums, they just play with anger. Hope to see them in a show but I guess they will never come to Mexico. Anyway I love them.

[seethootss]

yea its great 90's skate rock..

[tholden84]

definately beat the piss out of someone music!

[emcmw]

UNSANE has 2 much balls for your average "music" fan its a shame they don't get the credit they deserve.

[lookingatcrap]

chris is my guitar hero. not a sherdder but he has the sickest tone i like guys that make ugly noise on the guitar. though i do like george lynch and alex scholnick. chris is my influence

[THRASHFKINFILLETS]

@lookingatcrap He's very good creating soundscapes,if you know what I mean.

It takes you somewhere .....insane.

[Berzerker83]

Awesome band. Reason why I got into the whole AmRep stuff.

Glad to see them on Patton's label.

[pivonzsolt]

eszméletlen.....

[kidmongo1]

Music reminds me of Soundgarden. Vocals don't obviously, but it's cool to hear this kind of music.

[sattfield]

Not sure why you've got 3 thumbs down for this comment. There's defo a little there. That's not putting Unsane down, fanboys.

[kidmongo1]

Yeah, I guess Soundgarden is a curse word here. Even though they helped expose the existence of independent music by being one of the most successful independent bands before signing to a major.

[thecrikster]

are you saying they sound similar? I love both soundgarden and unsane. but I can't say i hear much in common.

[kidmongo1]

Not so much with other songs, but this song really reminds me of old school Soundgarden. Especially the early guitar lead over the sludgy bass driven opening riff. The production reminds me of it too. Vocals definitely don't. But the music does.

[thecrikster]

Fair enough. I imagine the vocals were the only thing that prevented it from being labeled grunge by the press back in the early 90s.

[Whatupwidat]

Man, I this is the first song I've heard from them since Occupational Hazard. Damn, they've changed if the songs sound like this, but I like it.

[Fatallethal]

Goddamn...Why haven't I heard fromt them untill Now.! These Guys Fucking ROCK.!

[redshaftedflicker]

Unsane, Oxbow and Today is the Day. The only three bands that I know of who still own after all these years.

[d0us]

oh I have never agreed with anything as wholeheartedly as I agree with this!!!!!!!

[fatmanosman]

Good call, but...Neurosis??

[redshaftedflicker]

Hells yeah Neurosis! I should have mentioned them in my original post as well. Through Silver In Blood.....still sends shivers down my spine.

[Kaleb0h5h1t]

Whoa.. the chick in the beginning looked like a witch from Left 4 Dead.

[birthmachinerocks]

heard of these guys for a long time but had a hard time getting hold of their stuff...finally got their whole catalogue...fucking amazing band...sooooooooo fucking heavy

[44eelz]

who made this video???

[AARONRULES666]

in an age of fey boy bands pretending to have feelings, unsane are the last important band.

[dlohtreb]

Awesome!! I saw Unsane 3 times live. So fucking great! First time in 1996, when they played with Neurosis. One of the best and heaviest evening of my life.

[stabyourcat]

I'm quite jealous of you.

[nightowl4064]

god that'd have to be fucking awesome. my two favorite heavy bands (besides swans)

[Avaxt]

[DixieVideos]

AWESOME VIDEO,

[shannonstamey]

If sandpaper and formaldahyde had great rhythm and melody, it'd be called UNSANE. These guys have been around for years and they haven't lost a step.

[tlm315]

[drewgordon]

[civilright]

[devonpenner]
