Bands everyone needs to check out: Piglet: Really good band. Melodic math rock. They only released one EP but I've probably listened to it a hundred times. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3HM9kcSXY4&feature=related Cheval de Frise: Acoustic guitar and drums. They are like a French version of Hella. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXaA7Y8QuSE&feature=related Ruins: Insane Japanese prog duo. They've been around since the 80's and they will consistently blow your mind http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysCeaED_6Eg Yowie: Start and stop madness. http://www.myspace.com/yowie Planets: Really good bassist. They sound a little like early Hella. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVRy7Psy-fI&feature=related Most of the stuff mentioned in this thread too It's nice to hear OSO get mentioned. I don't think they are really known much outside of Santa Barbara, but they should be. The guitarist was in Volta do Mar if that peaks anybody's interest.

holdsteady posted:Glad to see I'm not the only one who likes OSO, they are consistently one of the best live bands I've seen and their passion for music is insane. Plus there are only like 25 people there when they play so its like a private show. The only problem is it makes other bands seem pretty bland, but I guess I gotta check out more bands in this thread. Do you live in Santa Barbara? I probably see you all the time at their shows. Yeah, they are amazing live. I can't wait for the new album coming sometime soon. more bands: OXES: Cool band. Mathy instrumental rock music. We Versus The Shark: Stupid name, but they have some pretty good songs. All over the place. Swims: Like a more mellow Planets because they have the same bassist. The first bass-line in this song is just gorgeous. EDIT: 31knots: Just remembered to add these guys. Really great songwriting and great live show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1V6zTp3GKo It seems kinda silly that all these bands might be called math rock considering how different they all sound. I dunno. I always think it sounds stupid when I try to explain to people that I'm into math rock. I usually just say experimental rock music. It doesn't sound much better, but I think it often describes the bands a little better. Biscuit! fucked around with this message at 09:22 on Feb 3, 2010 |

Yowie put out a new album earlier this year and it is pretty amazing. If you haven't heard them before they play a very chaotic and noisy sort of controlled chaos. I have never heard anything like it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyHrjoip39M http://www.facebook.com/pages/Yowie/351414864229?fref=ts

Sauska posted:also personnel change from the first album came way of a guitarist from Grand Ulena, and it shows. So uh check them out. Somewhat similar Wow thanks for that. I just downloaded their album and read that the drummer died kinda recently and then read a news story about his life while I was listening to it and learned a lot of interesting stuff that I didn't really need to know. I guess that's what the internet is for. Gateway to Dignity is a really good listen so far.

I just found out about this group and I will not let this thread die! They're called NI and they're French. They kind of remind me of some of my favorite Mr. Bungle's stuff, but it definitely belongs on this thread. I'm sorry if they've been posted already, but NI is a difficult name to look for. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVAt0fYqkq8 http://niiii.bandcamp.com/album/ni-2
