@dranfu I didn't make this video. It was was given to me in the mid-90s by the manager of the Archers of Loaf for a local music show we created it Chapel Hill. I'm not sure if he had an official relationship to Polvo was, other than friend, and I'm not sure if this was an 'official' video for the song, but all of the people involved in the video are friends of Polvo. Chapel Hill is still a small town.
So cool that chapel hill, Durham, and Charlotte has such thriving music scenes back then. Being from Charlotte it's pretty sick finding bands like Seam, Polvo, and Superchunk revolutionized indie music only 2 hours from where I live
This is one of the most underrated songs ever. They have so many good songs. I always thought why this band haven’t got huge, they deserved to be one of the bests.

@KingCrimson776 - Being a teenager in NC in the early 90's was fuckin great. The Cradle had great sub pop shows every Thursday and great local bands like Polvo and Archers of Loaf!
You and I could probably be best friends from the comment you posted 5 months ago. Polvo and Unwound are two of the best bands from my childhood. I remember listening to them growing up in Cheraw, SC thinking how lame everyone else was while they listened to country and Snoop Dog.
Man I can't get enough of this band, the beautifully dissonant melodies. Anyone have any suggestions for other bands with a similar sound? Already have a lot of SY, AoL, Chavez, Helium, anyone I am missing?
We're gonna figure this out, people. Latest iteration. Focus needs to be on the nouns, verbs, etc. since prepositions and articles can be argued for eternity. What doesn't help is all the live versions here on RUclips either have different lyrics that don't all match each other and/or the vocals aren't of good quality, so this is an attempt at the lyrics for this recording only.

wildweaselslayer show after show. They played a lot. They changed minor things to fuck with each other or the audience or the joint or three beers said it.

Yeah No Age had some really cool stuff but nothing like new or innovative. The songs were like "Yeah this sounds like MBV!" and then I decided to listen to My Bloody Valentine.

+wildweaselslayer Thank you, you are awesome! After ambitions I think he says suspicions. In the end of the chorus he definitely says "You were always mine". Not sure about what comes after whistling, I would guess "ringing". And: "The short lived readers you all we amuse we confuse or direction, reflection on these" I'm pretty sure he says amuse.

It's Polvo with their smash hit "Tilebreaker".
Polvo's rhythm section often sounded like it was about to collapse, which of course it never did, which made it all the more remarkable.
polvo is probably one of the best American bands of all time
I reckon they are.
one of the world best bands of all time

one of the best songs ever written
RIP Eddie Watkins
So cool that chapel hill, Durham, and Charlotte has such thriving music scenes back then. Being from Charlotte it's pretty sick finding bands like Seam, Polvo, and Superchunk revolutionized indie music only 2 hours from where I live
DoughBoY Archers of Loaf too
I like to do polvo while listening Polvo.
Simply nostalgic though this is my first time here.
simply, one of most beautiful song
This is one of the most underrated songs ever. They have so many good songs. I always thought why this band haven’t got huge, they deserved to be one of the bests.
I wish the other kids my age were into this music. The only other person I know who likes Polvo is my Government teacher and he's 54.
Hey, atleast you know someone who liked Polvo!

Maybe what they wanted was a bucket of lead
To weigh you down
I don't need another breaker
To say that you're fine
I can reach out and touch it
Just made you to try
I don't need another breaker
To say that you're fine
I can reach out and touch it
(It's fake)
It's just what you like
Now I wanna follow some sounds
To say that your fine
Your footsteps that lead me
The whole world in mine
Clapping as the sky comes clean
The whistler is playing like nothing I've seen
And shortly I'm waiting for all
The amused
You can do like a wretch to deflect and then move

Polvo is the sound of youth.
To me, this IS 980's indie-rock. Encapsulates everything.
Forever one of the best bands of all time
One of the most underated bands ever
AGUANTE POLVO VIEJA!!!! DESDE ARGENTINA PAPAAAAH
+Brainhack. Esa es la actitud, es bueno ver otro argento por estos lados.
awante polvo
monoloque bring me here. thanks loque 🤟
Respek abang Loque kita. 🤘

This never gets old
they played my club on their last tour I think it was 95...JUST PERFECT!
Good lord, what a good song.
couch as a drum stool. + 40 points

Read about Watkins, made me sad, listened to this, felt a bit better
One of my fav Polvo songs so damn good
Man I can't get enough of this band, the beautifully dissonant melodies. Anyone have any suggestions for other bands with a similar sound? Already have a lot of SY, AoL, Chavez, Helium, anyone I am missing?
well, there was Trumans Water
I know it's a ten years old comment, but the first 3 albums of Dinosaur Jr. are amazing.
11 years later, but unwound are also awesome
US Maple, Grifters, Rodan
Two other underrated NC bands of the era, The Raymond Brake and Solar Coaster. Lenola from Philly had a big Polvo influence imo.
This music is fucking crack. It is so addicting

god, this is what indie rock used to be, good music, experimental, different, "weird", almost revolutionary...nowdays its just shitty pop rock clones
you mean radiohead?
True indy died a bit before someone vomited the word grunge
10 years later and it still can be said. u were on point with this one
just gotta look harder yall
@@degrassi420 Exactly.. lotsa good shit out durr
Just simple great song !
THE BAND OF MY LIFE
I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one still listening to Polvo in 2019.
holy crap, this is great. definitely going to check these guys out!
memory unlocked
Fucking incredible song.
Such good Indy everything
One of their best.
They were so good. I miss those days in Chapel Hill.
@snakefistfighter
always thought that it was love they were dealing about, so thanks for clearing that out.
The song of my life
Fuck yes!!! Stunning.
these guys didn't have hooks like superchunk or archers of loaf but they didn't need them
want this tab so Bad
Polvo is King
POLVO TILL I DIE.
nice
such a great tone on that guitar the way it slides at the start!
If you get time try Lucid Rivers
F. Hawk - You're not in Lucid Rivers by any chance are you? Cos every time you post anything you suggest we listen. Twice on this page alone.
The lucid rivers corps is everywhere and i will never check Out this Band. Polvo is so good, my god!
wow, cool
q buena onda de rola
I bought their CD I didn't think it was that great. I liked a lot of songs but I was like "is that it?"
FUCK YEAH I LIVE IN MAINE
Chuck... and sneed.
#1
My mom has the same exact tipping bird!
Also, one of the guys in the band does flash by for a sec in this video.
@zkagtrendy
polvo means dust in spanish!
@cambiamos Dave's looks like a funky Kent.
anyone else feel hungry for sweet food after listening to this?
Yeah ahuevo
@HamburgerMartyr arent we all : )
Reminds me of Sonic Youth
Anyway, Polvo ARE in the video
yeah, I liked clerks too...let it go.
Probably a eko, vintage Italian guitars
Galanti!
@skonthebass Si.
Glad to hear Chapel Hill is still a small town. Ever heard of the band Lucid Rivers? Check them out
Intro is brown as fuck and I don't even know what I mean by that
has anyone got the lyrics for this one?
@dranfu Dave Brylawski is 100% in this video, unless has a twin brother?
polvo means octopus in portuguese!
Yeah No Age had some really cool stuff but nothing like new or innovative. The songs were like "Yeah this sounds like MBV!" and then I decided to listen to My Bloody Valentine.
Damn!!! Ternyata sound polvo lebih kotor dari nirvana..
@dranfu then who's playing...?
What do you call those bird things? I'm 16 and to this day I have no idea what they are :')
is this an advert for tramps' bicycles?
"Pollll-vo"
Anyone know the lyrics? I only find wrong lyrics online
