| Bustin chops is my jangle. Step aside mr chimp. p.s. millions of other bands, even some that play music that's not really indie. Soz to guy who posted loads of links at the bottom of last page, getting round to checking those out. Currently experiencing bands influenced by the Pixies overload. |

There's also one where they all died 20 years ago and everyone thinks they would have gone on to make millions of great albums. They are revered more. On another one Frank Black is the president and Kim Deal gets abducted by aliens. My favourite one is the one where Joey and Dave record an album inside a volcano on the moon. |

Another one. Splashh. Can't say I like them that much so far, vocals are a bit shit, but the music is Pixies as fuck on track 1, total rip off of Wave Of Mutilation.
http://3voor12.vpro.nl/luisterpaal/albums/Splashh.html
I wouldn't bother with the rest of the album, it's wank. Might be slightly more listen-able if it weren't for terrible vocals. The guy can't sing for shit. |

Rattlesnake by the band Crystal Antlers sounds great and has a definite Pixies influence...

I actually thought Colours by Grouplove might be the Pixies the first time I heard it. I also thought Shake Me Down by Cage the Elephant was them at first too. Only briefly. Thinking you might just be surprised by a new Pixies song debuting on the radio is just a sign of my hopeless optimism.

Probably been posted before but first time seeing this for me. Bring on the Wiggie-giggie by Frankie Folds & The Demigods.
I'd say this could be even better than the original?

There are no bands that sound exactly like the Pixies.
I mean, even the Pixies don't sound exactly like the Pixies.

Man, Nameless Faceless by Courtney Barnett borrows un-apologetically from the Pixies. Guitars, female harmonies. Ammi right?
I'd rather be anywhere or doing anything |

Heh. I was meant to go to the Biggest Weekend festival in Belfast today but alas I'm too sick. Anyway, I'm watching it on BBC4 now and guess who pop on stage to accompany Courtney on Nameless Faceless? Kim and Kelley Deal. They were having a blast. |

He probably deserves his own thread here. In terms of Mclusky/FOTL albums I'd rate them as followed:
8) Mclusky - My Pain and Sadness is More Sad and Painful than Yours (7/10)
7) Future of the Left - Travels With Myself and Another (8/10)
6) Future of the Left - The Peace and Truce of Future of the left (8/10)
5) Future of the Left - The Plot Against Common Sense (8/10)
4) Future of the Left - Curses (8/10)
3) Future of the Left - How to Stop Your Brain in an Accident (9/10)
2) Mclusky - The Difference Between Me and You is That I'm Not on Fire (9/10)
1) Mclusky - Mclusky Do Dallas (10/10) |

I never got into FOTL that much, I thought they sounded more mainstream, straightforward shouty punk as opposed to something more high brow.
I think I'd say (as far as Mclusky is concerned)
1. My Pain
2. The Difference
3. Mclusky Do Dallas
Controversial I know but The Difference is the first album of theirs I heard and I rate their last album because I just fucking like it and it's got Lucky Lucky Jim Jim on it which I thought was nicely experimental of them to include a more or less death metal song in there, at that time. Bear in mind at this time that the whole pure unadulterated death metal thing was just surfacing into the mainstream world so it was still quite edgy. Nowadays it's a regular feature at the OAP disco.
My mate, who I think can probably be credited with introducing me to McLusky and also Pavement didn't like their 3rd album at all! This is despite me lending him it in good faith only for him to pawn it for a 4 pack of Stella. It was a nice cardboard sleeve as well. I have forgiven him and he gives me a free CD every time I visit now because he feels guilty about it, which he should.
Not as bad the time I left two limited edition 6" THICK vinyl single specials of The Kills - Love is a Deserter with a mate in good faith though. |

Some Pixies / FB sounds like early Dream Syndicate.
https://youtu.be/tH_76jpCe1s
I was listening to Steve Wynn song This Deadly Game and reminded me of This Old Heartache (even though it precedes it). There was something very familiar about the song then I found out Rich Gilbert played on that album!

My favorite Pixies soundalike band is Metal Flake Mother. They put out one album in 1991 called "Beyond the Java Sea" and they sound like they listen to "Doolittle" all day. They swipe as much as they can, and smartly so. They channel the weird yelping frontman, the meaningless songs and the sexy rhythmic backbone. It's a cool album. More people should hear it. It's all on Youtube.
This is the first song. It's called "Tongue Long". I also recommend the songs "Dance for Nails" and "Mr. Flavor".

Uh, is it possible Iggy Pop isn't mentioned in this thread?
He's a massive influence on Frank. I listened to an early album and my reaction can be summed up as "holy shit, it's the Pixies." |

Which album? I'm curious because I'm an Iggy Pop connoisseur and yes, if you pitch down a little Iggy Pop's voice it does sound like Frank Black but I never felt like any of his work nor The Stooges sounded like the Pixies.

I am not sure. I just listened to some of his first albums. My youtube history says I heard this one. The first track sounds exactly like the Pixies to me. The chorus sounds like Rock Music (the song.)
https://youtu.be/1OedEgzDl_I
I also listened to this one. The track I'm Bored sounds like the Pixies to me:
https://youtu.be/txzAFbb9XOY
This track has that Pixies beat with Iggy talking over it just like Black Francis. And none of this is to even point out the lyrical similarities too. Plus the discordant guitar chords, etc.
https://youtu.be/NIUZjSIXmyg
Ok and literally his voice just sounds like it's Frank singing here:
