The wall of sound guitars are pretty incredible, the songs themselves are tight, and the chord progression are totally unique.ĭavid Bowie - Station to Station: I can’t elaborate with anymore quality than what has already been written about this album.

It is a real shame these guys broke up because they took the format of black metal into something very transcendental and smart. These guys are without equal in terms of raw technical ability, and the ability to make me feel something.Ĭastevet - Mounds of Ash: I am a metal guy at the end of the day through and through. Meshuggah - Catch 33: What an album! Really showed the possibilities of what could be done with programming drums, and thematically I love the album. This album opened the door for sounds and drama in my brain. SWANS - Soundtracks for the Blind: What is there to say? It is hard to pick a particular album from SWANS because they are all really good, including The Burning World that M. He has mastered the format of pop without really trying, and he still writes some incredibly complicated riffs that are pleasing to my ears.

Mac Demarco - 2: This album change my ideas about song formats and tone. Oh geez… my influences are SWANS, Soundgarden, Mac Demarco, Ariel Pink, David Bowie, MBV, NIN, October Project, Smashing Pumpkins, Type O… the list could go on! I don’t have the gravitas to make music as awesome as I imagined guilt rock to be. This was to be some form of Type O Negative music that was awkwardly dark and sexual, however it morphed into shoe gazer/rock format it is now because I am a dad, husband, and a neckbeard. Thank you Henry! As far as the name the last couple of months I had been kicking around a band name called “the pleasure holes” and imagined a new genre of music called guilt rock. This motivated me to really clean up the songs and make them something more palatable. Fortunately for me a random guy emailed me and bought a track which floored me. I would use email to send mp3’s, but that become cumbersome in comparison to the Bandcamp process.

I harass my friend Nick that, probably only out of friendship, bothers to listen to what I do. The Pleasure Holes started about two weeks ago as a project, but I have made music consistently through my life… mostly heavy metals. When did The Pleasure Holes start? Tell us about the history…
