Midorka posted:What? I think he's saying that there's really 1.2 million fans of The Devil Wears Prada film starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway. Also: Despite speculations that the band named themselves after the film with the same title, it was actualized that they were formed before the film was released. They have explained that their band name is based on an anti-materialistic mindset and derived their name from the novel, The Devil Wears Prada. At the time of naming the band, the members assumed that the novel included anti-materialism as its moral, until later discovering that the novel did not feature this as its message at all.[2] Despite making this mistake, the band members refused to change the name and decided that they created a new meaning behind the title "The Devil Wears Prada", within the terms of it being their band name.[2]

Explosions in the Sky is coming to the University of Illinois to headline the Pygmalion Music Festival in September. This festival has been getting pretty big the last few years and it's gonna get even better now that they're booking more recognizable bands. I'm super pumped but according to setlists I've found online they never play Have You Passed Through This Night anymore which is a bummer.

Yeah, the book was insanely popular (and trash). Hence the film a few years later. Claiming your band predates the film adaptation really doesn't redeem any credibility.

In an attempt to rerail this thread, I'd like recommend the following post rock bands: Click the album art for a link to a song!  Gifts From Enola. They take the usual post rock textual route and then climax into a post metal/hard rock mix which then comes back down into the soundscape realm. Love this band.  If These Trees Could Talk, think This Will Destroy You's Tunnel Blankets, but slightly more dynamic.  Pg.Lost, similar to Gifts From Enola but their climaxes are much more recognizable as post rock. Anyways, this is my favourite band of the lot. Cymbal Monkey fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Jun 29, 2011 |

If These Trees Could Talk is great! I haven't listened to them in a while but I always loved the track "Rebuilding the Temple of Artemis".

TWDY in Newcastle did, in fact. Good gig, and they're saying they'll be back next year, which will be awesome all over again.

Went to see Transformers 3 tonight and was more than a little surprised to hear This Will Destroy You blaring throughout the trailer of the new Brad Pitt baseball flick Moneyball. You haven't heard post-rock until you've heard it in EXTREEEEEME definition

They'll license their music out to anything, it seems. I Believe In Your Victory was in the remake of Prom Night that came out a few years ago, and I heard them in an episode of either 16 And Pregnant or Teen Mom one time.

They absolutely destroyed the place, when they started Search:Party:Animal the crowd erupted and I wasn't sure I was going to get out of there alive. Also watching Tony and Rory crowd surfing during the last moments of The Voiceless has got to be of the best gig moments I have ever seen. I can second that you should seen them at a smaller venue. It's always nice to hang around after the gig and have a chat with them. I think they said that they were planning a world tour (America, Europe, Russia) nearer the end of the year so hopefully some of you guys will get a chance to see them soon.

I just noticed I'd had an album of té I'd gotten after enjoying some of their stuff online and forgotten to listen to. What is it with Japan and awesome bands? First Mono, which I can never get enough of, then miaou, now this. vvvvvv Well forgive me for not knowing about every single band in the world, both japanese and otherwise.

World's End Girlfriend is my favorite post-rock music. What're some other artists doing really expansive and adventurous post-rock like that? Basically anything that isn't Explosions in the Sky turgid poo poo.

I'd call it expansive, evokes feelings of looking across a vast landscape (for me at least). They also have a cello.

I'm glad they didn't play Trembling Hands, which is the single from Take Care, but either they messed up quite a bit or it wasn't mixed well or something, because it didn't impress me as much as I was hoping it would. Hopefully they'll be better when I see them live in September.

Human Qualities is one of my favorite songs on that album (the others being Be Comfortable, Creature and Let Me Back In). I would've been much happier if they'd played that one, I'm sure. edit: Yeah, that video is just mislabeled.

Frankly I do too like him - his last album is so... alive. I would say that Ous Mal is something along the same lines, but more glitchy. 65daysofstatic if it isn't too obvious? I really would like there were some more bands that make happy post rock music, because everything lately is pesimistic as hell.

So I got an email off Sigur Rós, with a link to here: http://t.opsp.in/13nG8 Jónsi said last year that they'd be going back into the studio around spring, so maybe this is a new album. The song at the end is new, but the from the video I hope it's as bleak as Ágaetis or ().

Medical posted:Here's a handful of post-rock bands that aren't "crescendocore." I don't think EITS (or for that matter Mogwai, GYBE) sound is that popular, and although you can do much with 4 guitars, you can do a lot more with other instruments. On the other hand - majority of post-metal reminds me of Pelican. Here is some of what I listen to: Arms and Sleepers, Balmorhea, Cougar, Deaf Center, Ef, Fat Jon, Gifts from Enola, Halo of Pendor, Ioch, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Komas Mida, Lights Out Asia, Metavari, New Century Classics, Our Ceasing Voice, Pertegó, Qua, RQTN, Sawhorse, The Waters Deep Here, Under Byen, Valley of Giants, Water & Bodies, Years of Rice & Salt. I don't consider any of those to sound similar to EITS (and frankly similar to each other). Zudak posted:Ever tried Moonlit Sailor?

There's also Saxon Shore, which have a electronic-influenced sound that's a bit more their own. Aye, Moonlit Sailor is optimistic; 65dos, DMST, Dirty Three, Sigur Rós' last album are upbeat as well, but I feel it's mostly doom and gloom - Mogwai, Labradford, Rachel's, Sigur Rós' first album. It's all subjective either way and I appreciate the recommendation
