Before Slint, there were Squirrel Bait, a mid-'80s melodic hardcore group that included the teenage McMahan and David Grubbs on guitars, the young Britt Walford on drums, and a whelp of a lad, Pete Searcy, on vocals.
One Slint legend involves the band's request for a female vocalist on the inside sleeve of Spiderland; supposedly PJ Harvey was one of the people who wrote in about the position.
Part of Slint's appeal to me personally was their total inaccessibility, not in an elitist, art-institutional sense of exclusivity, but rather in the nature of their obscurity and the fact that there was so little known about them in those pre-Internet days.

Slint, formed by Squirrel Bait's guitarist Brian McMahan and also featuring drummer Britt Walford, bassist Ethan Buckler and guitarist David Pajo, represented a major shift in musical purpose: they were more intimidating than exciting.
Squirrel Bait, Slint was formed through the work of guitarist Brian McMahon (not to be confused with Brian McMahon of the Electric Eels) and drummer Britt Walford, with Ethan Buckler on base and David Pajo on second guitar.

Slint could be crushingly heavy -- plenty of hipsters banged heads at the Boston show -- but it was usually heavy in a precise, rigid way that owed more to the angularity of Discipline-era King Crimson than to the blues riffs that underlie most heavy metal.
Slint was delicate and spare nearly as often as it was sonically brutal.
Not only did Slint avoid predictable chord progressions, but the band was more harmonically sophisticated than almost any band outside of prog rock, often using multiple instruments to voice a single chord or melodic theme.

 Slint: Fyfeopedia Music Reviews
A quartet from Louisville, Kentucky, Slint grew from the remains of another Louisville band, Squirrel Bait.
Slint are a long way removed from Talk Talk's jazzy, intricately recorded albums, but the deconstruction that they apply to hardcore is similar, in approach at least, to the transformation that Talk Talk made from pop to their own eccentric vision, which is why they're often cited together.
Slint's second and final album was released in 1991, and although again it had little commercial impact it's almost indisputably recognized as alternative classic and extremely influential record.

 Las Vegas Mercury: Replay: Slint, Spiderland, 1991
Slint is considered by many crix and nerds to be post-rock's belly button, the origin point of so much beautiful noise that led (with college radio as midwife) to the genre's reign in the '90s.
Deploying dissonance and a clumsy, crawling vibe, Slint is the band invoked when people want to break out the hipstick and outcool your love of Pavement with something even more obscure.
Maybe all memory is nostalgia; for some reason, "Breadcrumb" is the song I most strongly and fondly associate with Slint, and paint the band with brushstrokes of skinny-kid bedroom genius and underdog counterpunch.

 Slint - di Lorenzo Casaccia
Con gli Slint, il rinascimento hardcore degli anni '80 si disrega in un rock autistico, una musica che maschera l'emotivita' dietro alla precisione compositiva ed esecutiva.

Slint put out two records while most of them were still quite young, and then they broke up.
The songs on the EP were things I was kind of hoping to work out with Slint, but when that project didn't pan out, we just worked on them some more.
Some of it is vaguely scary, especially "Salo," which slowly builds a narrative with xylophone, slowly building guitar and drums, and a sound not unlike a submarine sonar.

 Slint - listen to free MP3 song download & watch music videos - MOG
Slint have been credited with spawning the post-rock movement of the 90’s with their innovative take on song structure and their sparse, yet haunting lyrics.
Also in 2005, Slint played a number of shows in the U.S. and in Europe.[1] The reunion shows sparked enthusiasm among fans for new material and further touring, but these were dashed when the band not only split again, but sold most of their musical equipment on eBay.
It would suck to be a huge Slint fan but not really in the music world or in the inside loop and totally miss it, so if we were going to do press at all would be just for that reason.

That description also applies to Slint, one of the most obscure influential bands of all time.
Slint only released two albums, and had already broken up by the time one of those albums, 1991's "Spiderland," became an indie-rock touchstone.
Slint reunited in 2005 for a series of live shows that were rapturously received by the hipster cognoscenti, few (if any) of whom actually saw the band perform in its original incarnation.

I personally like their lyrics (not so much on their own as the way that their delivered, their vocalist is no Peter Gabriel but he knows how to work around his limitations), their tempo changes, and their messed up guitar sound.

Members of Slint found their way to or from Rhodan, Tortoise, The For Carnation, Evergreen, The Breeders, Bastro, Squirrel Bait, King Kong, and Palace Brothers.
