So if I really like Brainbombs...

[father of lies]

...what else should I look into? They're so much heavier and filthier that most similar bands.

[altars of radness]

It's basically just the Stooges and Flipper for me. Maybe the first Rusted Shut album, Rehab. I'm in the same boat as you, though. Anytime someone references the Brainbombs in a review or description of a band it's pretty much a guaranteed disappointment.
