Houston Noise
Since the 1970s, Houston, TX has become one of the world's leading centers for a particular brand of dark experimental music, ranging from psych-rock to industrial to distorted, stripped-down folk songs, to dance party mayhem, but all sharing a similar aesthetic sensibility rooted in dissonance and a flippant attitude towards sonic clarity and technical virtuosity. Together these groups fall under the heading of Houston Noise.
