Listen to Barkmarket. Start with “The Visible Cow,” “I Drown”, “Dig In,” Falling,” “Feed Me” and “Redundant”. I find that their singer/guitarist Dave Sardy (who incidentally went on to become one of the biggest rock engineer/producers of the last quarter century) has an uncanny knack for articulating indignance and righteous anger. His lyrics can be a bit inscrutable, but that kind of helps, because you can imagine that he’s directing his vitriol toward your annoyance of choice. And the music absolutely slaps; super heavy, like Zeppelin meets The Jesus Lizard. Oh, and their drummer’s name is Rock Savage. Need I say more?

Other stuff: “Exactly What You Wanted” and “Like I Care” by Helmet (coincidentally produced by Sardy). Two great sonic middle fingers.

Old school: Big Black. One of the most deliciously misanthropic bands of all time (led by Steve Albini, pre super-producer career).

Play them all VERY LOUDLY. Enjoy.
