I feel like you can describe bands by adding together the styles of other groups.
IE: Secret and Whisper = Saosin + Thirty Seconds to Mars
Give it a try, i'd like to see what people come up with.
Aiden + Pile of dog shit = My Passion

I DO NOT agree with 30secs2mars, although the Saosin is just a little obvious. Time for me to be a literal jerk now. =D
thebleedingalarm + stutterfly = secret and whisper
Anyway.
Evans Blue = Breaking Benjamin's instruments + Matthew Good's lyrics

I like this. Heads up everyone, you're going to start being insulted algebraically by me from now on.
for some reason i thought this was going to be the game where you just add band names together.
example: Bury Your Dead Poetic, Explosions in the Sky Eats Airplane, Grizzly Bear vs. Shark. etc.

Not exactly an equation, but rather a conjecture. The Hansen disease skin fronts that appear when listening to the "Hansenphones" of The Greep, viz.
http://www.thegreys.com/TheGreep.html
have a spectroscopy very close to that of Strontium-90, which may explain the decay which inevitably follows.
