Hailing from Croydon, Sudden Impact enjoyed a rough reputation as being one of the few directly racist RAC from Britain. Aside from releasing stickers featuring hooded Klansmen holding up a black victim's severed head with the tagline "Death to Nigger Scum," the band would publish nasty numbers like "White Slag" under the pseudonym The Croydon Criminals. After striking a deal with Rock-O-Rama Records, these blokes dished out an appropriately named, rough shod Oi! album "Storm." Their music was fittingly spirited if a pinch awkward due to the clunky lyrics.
The band would hit the studio again to release a sophomore album "Rock & Roll Rebels." Eddie Stampton published a scathing review in "The White Nationalist Skinhead Movement," lambasting everything from the album cover to the music itself. While the songwriting is still as cringeworthy as before with the occasional off-key delivery to boot, a skinhead band trying their hands at ballad-driven Hard Rock has that inimitable charm characteristic of passion-driven amateurs which lasts long after the first listen.
The music here isn't far off from the band's idol Ian Stuart who was no stranger to ballads himself. The release of "White Rider" set a precedent for many to emulate, but if the interviews with Sudden Impact are any indication, Hard Rock was a natural framework for the band. They grew up on a steady diet of AC/DC, Black Sabbath and Motörhead, so it's hardly a surprise they'd incorporate these ideas in the development of their sound. Other skinhead bands would later turn to that sound to a much greater degree than these gents had.

A raw, buzzing yet faintly hollow blues riffs define the heavier tracks here with the occasional guitar solo belted out for good measure. The album opens with a punky but tepid "See You All in Hell" with made distinct by its shouted refrain and sweet solo which comes roaring in towards the middle. "White Heat" and "Quest for Fire" are much bluesier than the preceding tracks, but much similar in all other respects. "Hail the Warriors" stands out as the album's highlight. Full of simple, but energetic riffs to keep your blood pumping and keyboards to deepen the impact, the song achieves everything it sets forth.
The first real ballad is "God of Thunder," which opens with a soft acoustic before our vocalist proudly hails Thor, hopeful he will return to earth to deliver Europe from the red menace. Kudos to whoever thought it keen to add some delay to the vocals. The song electrifies midway for the refrain before returning to the acoustics. Horribly off-key vocals hinder the impact of "'til Your Dying Day" which mourns Adolf Hitler's last moments; a forgettable and worthless track. Towards the B-side's end is "Fight to the Finish." Full of keyboards and acoustic riffs, the singer boasts of Nazi skinheads marching through the streets, optimistic they will one day win. The instrumental "Anthem" closes the album with its wailing guitars and gritty riffs. The track drags on but belts out a memorable solo here and there.
The rest of the album more or less veers between Hard Rock and Skinhead Oi!, but even with a few duff tunes, the music succeeds on its own merits and those curious about RAC's transition from Oi! to Hard Rock will find this listen rewarding.
Highlights: "Hail the Warriors," "God of Thunder," "Fight to the Finish" and "Anthem"

The descriptions I read of RAC never seem to correlate to reality ot the genre's sound, unfortunately.
I go in expecting this really harsh, martial sort of primitive and minimalist punk music and I just end up with pub rock shite.
Ultimately, modern black metal bands taking a lot of influence from RAC music appeal to me more than actual RAC music does. The closest I came to enjoying proper RAC was some of the early Skrewdriver and Combat 84 stuff.

I used to be in conservatory for a performance degree, aimed to begin studying composition as I had begun composing at 16. I have not written or played music in now 4 years and I can't get started again.
I went from writing contrapuntal music to spectral music to a focus on electroacoustic and computer-assisted music.
I feel like my skills have deteriorated but I can't stay focused and hone them anymore. How do I get started again?

They've made some pretty good songs, seem to put on a good live show and have succeeded in what they set out to do (make a lot of money) even if I don't necessarily think that's a good band philosophy to have.

Early Kiss had a pretty authentic sort of grimy NYC street glam feel to it.
Strutter is a great song.

What's the worst music out there, /mu/?
I don't mean any of this meme shit that you guys seem to ride all day long.
I mean absolutely terrible music. Music that's so bad, it's not even funny.
Albums so cliché that copying and pasting bars from Amazing Grace into a granular synthesizer is far more original.
Artists so bad that blind amputees play better than them.
What is bad music?
>First rule: no meme crap. "HURR DURR GRIMES" or "HERP DERP DEATH GRIPS" or any crap that's perpetuated on here on a daily basis is fucking stupid. Unless you present a fucking thesis on why meme artists are bad, get the fuck out.
>Second rule: no limits on locality. They can be as local as your nextdoor neighbour or as international as you like.

Netlabel that release tonefield sub-genre albums
Tonefield is a music equivalent of colorfield Painting, made by converting colorfield characteristics to musical ones using logic, musical and painting skills
Genre basically is
1-Song is mono.
2-Song start/continue with a tone or silence.
3-They have at least 1 second, tone must have same volume, frequency and waveform.
4-End song or go back to 2
