WASHING MACHINE USURPS \\\MAYTAG AS REIGNING KING OF APPLIANCECORE

Wednesday, June 1st, 2011 at 2:00pm by

The problem with \\\Maytag, the “refrigerator drone metal” band, is that it’s so hard to market them, because, really, who do they tour with? On what bill do they fit? Others bands in the vein of Sunn O)))? Other comedy metal bands? Comedy metal bands that don’t know they’re comedy metal bands? It’s a tough quandary to solve!

But help is on the way, thanks to this washing machine:

And if you thought, “Sure, the washing machine sounds kinda like it’s drumming, but it’s not very metal,” well, you thought wrong. ‘Cause this band called Science of Demise wrote a whole metal song based around it:

So, clearly, this washing machine will be signed to Sumerian sometime in the very near future.

    I saw Rush play a year back and they had dryers on stage. But those dryers were more like cheerleaders for Geddy. I would pay money to see this washer open for Devin Townshend because I know he would do that.

    it also sometimes starts moving forward and opens the closet its in.

    My Whirlpool washing mashing produces low-frequency noises which would make Mick Harris envious.

    someone call dream theater. it looks like they just found a new drummer.

    • http://seasofdreck.wordpress.com aaron m

      someone call frankie palmeri. he just found his next THING-TO-RIP-OFF.

  • revdom666

    Add some echo and delay, a 101 bass throb and you basically have a new Throbbing Gristle song.

      i would buy that 7″.

    Who needs a drummer when you can have a washing machine? Seriously though, I wonder if anyone else has a washing machine that taps out a beat?
