Noise rock describes one variety of post-punk rock music that became prominent in the 1980s. Noise rock makes use of the typical instrumentation and iconography of rock, but incorporates atonality and especially dissonance, and also frequently discards usual songwriting conventions.

Visual and conceptual elements

Many noise rock groups have a confrontational performance style which mirrors the aggression of their music. This reaches back to the Who and Jimi Hendrix, who were famous for destroying their instruments on stage, and Iggy Pop, of the Stooges, and Darby Crash, of the Germs, who lacerated their bodies in a spectacle comparable to the performance art of Chris Burden and Vito Acconci. Acconci was also a significant inspiration for no wave.

1980s noise rock musicians tended to adopt a Spartan, utilitarian mode of dress following the hardcore punk ethos and in partial reaction against the more ostentatious elements of punk fashion. Steve Albini articulated a ethical stance that emphasized restraint, irony, and self-sufficiency. The Butthole Surfers were an exception in their desire to dress as bizarrely as possible. Several bands also made public reference to drug use, particularly LSD (Jimi Hendrix, the Butthole Surfers) and heroin (the Velvet Underground, Royal Trux). Many contemporary noise rock musicians, such as the Locust and Lightning Bolt, have a very theatrical mode of presentation and wear costumes.

History

1960s

The origins of noise rock are in the first rock musicians who explored extreme dissonance and electronic feedback. This begins with commercially successful figures like Jimi Hendrix, the Who, and Neil Young. Underground rock musicians such as the Stooges, the Velvet Underground, and the MC5 incorporated elements of free jazz and minimalism. More obscure musicians, such as the Monks, San Francisco's Fifty Foot Hose, and Japan's Les Rallizes Dénudés, also incorporated the effects of dissonance. Audio feedback (also known as the Larsen effect after the Danish scientist, Søren Larsen, who first discovered its principles) is a special kind of feedback which occurs when a sound loop exists between an audio input (for example, a microphone or guitar pickup) and an audio output (for example...

1970s

The German groups described as Krautrock are significant influences on later noise rock, particularly Can and Faust. Lou Reed's 1975 album Metal Machine Music, which entirely eschewed song structure in favor of a minimalist wave of guitar feedback, also anticipated and influenced many later developments in noise rock. The classic punk rock groups (the Sex Pistols, the Clash, and the Ramones) tended to avoid extreme dissonance, preferring a more traditional, straight-ahead approach to rock'n'roll. One exception was the L.A. punk group the Germs, who pursued punk rock with an amateurish, free-form tenacity. Subsequent post-punk groups delved much deeper into noise. Krautrock, also known as Kosmische Musik, is a generic name for the experimental music scene that appeared in Germany in the late 1960s and gained popularity throughout the 1970s. ...

The New York No Wave scene, featuring such artists as Mars and Teenage Jesus & the Jerks, which coalesced around 1978, was also an essential development in noise rock. While no wave included a variety of post-punk experimental tendencies (different groups incorporated elements of free jazz, soul, and disco), the most abrasive groups would find their innovations streamlined into noise rock tradition. Chrome, from San Francisco, produced their own style of psychedelic punk, which shared some common ground with the No Wave groups.

Australian noise rock also developed in the late 1970s.

1980s

A number of noise rock bands emerged from many different scenes in North America in the 1980s. These included the Jesus Lizard and Big Black (Chicago), Butthole Surfers and Scratch Acid (Texas), Black Flag (Los Angeles), the Melvins (Montasano, Washington), Sonic Youth, Swans, and Helmet (New York), Fugazi, Pussy Galore and Royal Trux (Washington DC), among many others. These bands were initially referred to as "pigfuck" by Robert Christgau, in a reference to Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris, though the increasingly melodic tendencies of many of these groups quickly rendered the tag misleading. The Minneapolis label Amphetamine Reptile released a great deal of music in this tradition. The Jesus Lizard was a rock music group formed in 1989 in Chicago, Illinois. ...

British noise rock included the Birthday Party (who had emigrated from Australia), This Heat, the Fall, Scritti Politti, the Pop Group, Swell Maps, and the Jesus and Mary Chain.

The Birthday Party, Lydia Lunch, Diamanda Galás, and Foetus all expatriated to West Berlin in the early '80s, where they developed their own noise rock scene, along with the native German group Einstürzende Neubauten.

Many of these bands went on to temper the initial ferocity and amelodicism of their approach with an appreciation for rock history. Sonic Youth spoke highly of the Beatles, Pussy Galore covered the Rolling Stones, Black Flag drew inspiration from Black Sabbath, and the Butthole Surfers worked with John Paul Jones and emulated Jimi Hendrix. Nick Cave, the former singer of the Birthday Party, continued his work with noise rock, but also explored ballads and literate, complex songwriting in the tradition of Leonard Cohen.

Other noise rock groups strived to further distance themselves from rock tradition. Beginning in 1986, the British group Napalm Death created "grindcore" by melding the noise-rock of the Swans with crust punk and thrash metal. While later grindcore groups tended to move in the direction of death metal, American bands such as Anal Cunt extended the dissonant, free-form tendencies of grindcore into the noisegrind style.

A similar scene also began to develop in Osaka, Japan, spearheaded by Hanatarash and the Boredoms, who composed extremely short, fast "songs", marked by blasts of rhythm (reflecting an influence from grindcore), screaming, and overloaded guitars. Boredoms singer Yamantaka Eye also worked with the New York City jazzcore group Naked City. The Boredoms eventually evolved towards a far more meditative sound, taking inspiration from Krautrock. Gore Beyond Necropsy, Ground Zero, Zeni Geva, Guitar Wolf, and Melt-Banana extended the Japanese noise rock style. These bands also reflected the impact of the Japanoise scene pioneered by Merzbow.

The British shoegazing groups developed an entirely distinct form of noise rock. Taking equal inspiration from the dream pop groups, in addition to aggressive rock like the Jesus and Mary Chain and Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine produced a warm, feminine, but also dissonant, formless and psychedelic genre that belongs in the noise rock tradition.

The '80s noise rock bands were formative influences on Nirvana and Hole, and as a result had some mainstream currency during the period when so-called grunge was played on the radio. Nirvana's album In Utero is particularly evident in its debts to '80s noise rock, and was produced by Big Black frontman and noise rock icon Steve Albini.

Some hardcore punk groups associated with Born Against, such as Rorschach also took on associations with noise rock. The subsequent power violence scene was similar to noisegrind, with Man Is the Bastard eventually dissolving into unstructured noise music. Contemporaneous groups like Neurosis and Today Is the Day began to further blend noise rock with extreme metal, including the emphasis on tremolo in black metal. Much of the resulting innovations have been incorporated into the more experimental practitioners of metalcore, such as Integrity, Rorschach, Converge, Botch, and Dillinger Escape Plan.

Beginning in the mid-90s, Providence became the center of a new crop of noise-rock bands, largely a product of the RISD scene. These groups tended to owe less to traditional rock song structures, and were more minimal and drone-like. These included Lightning Bolt, Arab on Radar, Landed, Six Finger Satellite, Men's Recovery Project, and Pink and Brown. Black Dice were originally part of this scene, but moved to Brooklyn, where they aligned themselves with groups like Gang Gang Dance. These groups were also related, in part, to the San Diego scene that emerged from screamo, most famously the Locust, and to Wolf Eyes, from Ann Arbor.
