Food For Animals - Belly (2008)

One thing I love to see in Hip Hop is an incorporation of Noise or Industrial music to the production, unfortunately acts like those seem so few and far between. Groups like dälek will be remembered for their brave and caustic production, and there are more newcomers like clipping who are trying to forge a name for themselves with frantic Harsh Noise being incorporated into his music. Food For Animals is another one of those rare bands. They are a Noise-Hop trio from D.C. who released their first, and as of now only, full length album in 2008.  Their tendency to incorporate Glitch and Harsh Noise into their Hip Hop creates a really stunning sound.

Wolf Eyes - Always Wrong (2009)

On occasion, a scene will vomit up a deranged, screwed up band full of strange strange people who will make strange, strange music that will make you question where the line between pointlessly edgy or insane and ingenious is. Or make you question if there's even a line at all. On an even more rare occasion will that band will succeed in mocking the line between vulgar and brilliant and not just end up on the overly-crude side of the line. I believe that Wolf Eyes is one of those band who can successfully balance the two.
