I've been thinking that for over a year myself.
As for the genre - I really can't remember why I called this 'avant garde jazz hardcore'. Really I always just lumped them in with noise rock put out by Skin Graft in the early 90s.

Then again, that's just from this video. I think it's the dull percussion. Frankly, it's hard to do a Last Exit or Naked City type thing without a Ronald Shannon Jackson or Joey Baron. Feels kind of PG in comparison.
Sorry, man, I know you like it raw. I'll try to post about something more R-rated next time.
