Instrumental bands plz...

[White]

...that don't do soft, ambient music. Not that I don't appreciate the ambience, but I could easily find bands in that vein with a quick little trip through the iTunes universe. Feel free to recommend some ambient bands anyways, though. Just, preferably not.

To make sure no one recommends any bands I already listen to, here's what's my in library so far:

Explosions In The Sky
If These Trees Could Talk
God Is An Astronaut
This Will Destroy You
Joy Wants Eternity
Erik Mongrain
Animals As Leaders
Irepress

Fire away!

If you want some heavier instrumental, check out And So I Watch You From Afar, and Gifts From Enola. Those bands are superb.
