Old Old
a band from USA   flag  -- Disbanded --


Last Update: March 22, 2004

info

Old (which, in their early days, stood for Old Lady Drivers) comprises a rather quirky chapter in the history of metal. On Lo Flux Tube (arguably the band's most well-known album), the style consists of Godflesh-style feedback-laden guitar work, speeded up to more like semi-thrash speed, with a rambling, progressive-ish bass line, and shrieking, completely incomprehensible vocals from Alan Dubin. Strange, to say the least, but quite intense. The later albums became more experimental with Formula in particular branching out in to techno-industrial territory. Though the band is no more, founder Jimmy Plotkin continued the band, in a sense, with the more experimental project called Flux, and he and Dubin are now back together in the ultra doom band Khanate. Plotkin also keeps busy with another oddball band called Phantomsmasher.
