Have your cake and eat it. Solid songwriting without sacrificing innovation & experimentation as happens all too often in the underground music scene these days. Sounding much more punk rock here in this live session than their studio work, you get a sense of their concert sound: raw and raucous.

Undeservingly underrated. Stupefyingly brilliant use of the correct mix of melody, dissonance, feedback, noise, and rhythm. Plenty of freely downloadable material here. I love it all, but three succeed stands out as a favorite.

Comparisons abound, pfft! Make no mistake, Mr. Gnome has their own sound: yin & yang, tension & release, war & peace, mosh & gaze, and yes man & woman. A band who understands dynamics? o_O
