Go Pound Salt was one of the original SF Noise Pop bands. The Noise Pop scene came out of the SF/Berkeley punk world of the early 90s. It combined the harder edge aesthetic of punk with more the insightful and tuneful lyrics of indie art rock. This defines Go Pound Salt's approach.
I remember one show at the Bottom of the Hill. I was there taking photos and getting drunk. GPS was playing with the Swingin' Utters and blew doors. It was a wild show filled with fire and broken objects. They definitely left their mark that night. Either that or I had some issues with Tequila.
"We are a trio playing pop/punk music in San Francisco. We play music to have fun. We are not really a Gilman St. punk band, or a hipster Mission St. band. We have no gimmicks or wacky, kitschy novelty songs. We sound like Husker Du rip-offs and we don't give a fuck. We play what we feel and if you think we suck then go pound salt up your ass."
Check out this track from their self titled album. 2006 marks the 10th anniversary of this killer recording. I hope to feature more of their stuff in the future. Enjoy
