Thread needs more Maps and Atlases! Definitely my favorite band in the "genre" next to Converge.

Their latest EP is totally different but incredible at the same time.

Totally 2nd this. Saw them play in a basement in Allentown, and they are absolutely ridiculous.

Also, my opinion, but Math Rock = Prog Rock. Just mincing words.

They're definitely very closely related, but I think prog rock tends to have mostly really long drawn out songs and "math rock" tends to be more energetic. Prog Rock is an actual genre of rock though so you have a point.

Ha that made me laugh.


Do you guys consider Mute Math "math rock." I do mostly because they have Math in their name. Regardless of genre the band is loving awesome live.


Seriously, King Crimson should be discussed more in this thread. I don't even have much of their stuff and I'm saying that :)

Are there any other bands that focus on the drums as the main instrument? Most music is all about the guitar or vocals, and drums are around to keep the beat. I love drums though, and would like to find more music with them brought to the front of the band.

Toe is awesome though, everyone should check them out.

Just listen to the Album Rich vs Roach. 20x in a row. It will melt your face.
