I Have a New Favorite Band, and Everyone Should Care


Orgcore: (ORGcore) n: a subgenre of punk rock noted for its gruff, but melodic vocals and bearded band members. Made famous on the internet website, punknews.org, which is made up of fat dudes with beards who listen to Hot Water Music exclusively.


For the past five years, a band that very narrowly fits the orgcore tag has consistently been at the top of my list of favorite bands. But not today! Today marks the first time since high School that that hasn't been true.


So, congratulations Black Lips, you've usurped an entire genre. Keep up the good work.

Edit: I mean, of course, currently existing band. Even Black Lips would have to double and redouble efforts to get anywhere within miles of the Replacements.
