Math Rock

[hockeyguitar99]

Whats your opinion on the genre? What bands do you think fit inside that genre?

Personally I think one of the best examples is battles.

[WakeUpBlondie]

How is that shit considered music

[Machu505]

American Football is math rock, right?

[AP_Punk]

math won't miss you

[versus_god]

More Discount references.

[AP_Punk]

black and white can't capture red and blue

[Cuddleworthy]

ahh discount. so good.

[AP_Punk]

Mmmhmm

[lindZ629]

What exactly is math rock?

[AP_Punk]

wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Math_rock) has a good definition of it

[lindZ629]

Ahh that makes a little more sense.

[Cuddleworthy]

just go listen to discount instead

[AP_Punk]

that ^^

[Czarsy]

Piglet
Maps and Atlases
Don Cab

I probably listen to more, but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

[zooyorker182]

usually anything with the word math in it is not for my taste lol. nah but im not really too into this genre

[hockeyguitar99]

maps and atlases are one of the sickest bands around.

[Rawrr]

Math rock is aceeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.



But bands like TFOT nad Teros Melos are shit.

[Getup and Dance]

Roadside monument

[x togepi x]

the fall of troy is not a math rock band.

[Genuma]

Maps & Atlases are not Math Rock.

[Cuddleworthy]

65daysofstatic are not Math Rock.

[EchoPark]

Minus the Bear and Dillenger Escape Plan both contain strong elements of mathrock, however I would not label either band a math band.

Up Up Down Down and Don Caballero.

[jtsnazzy]

I've had a hard time finding bands from this genre that I really enjoy, maps and atlases is one of the few. I think I prefer more melodic mathrock?

Does anyone know of any bands similar to This Town Needs Guns and Loom?

Anything the Kinsella family ever did, ha.

Meet Me In St. Louis is a good one.


Favorite math rock band is Giraffes? Giraffes!

[mattmatumbo]

i never understood the definition of math rock, and i dont believe i ever will, but i love maps and atlases which was mentioned as a math rock band.

Thanks man I'll check them out.

[Praetor]

lol Maps & Atlases is so bad.

[funkel]

Math Rock's an easy genre where the music can just get arduous really fast. Only a couple bands do it well that I have found, mainly G?G!. Ghosts And Vodka are sometimes good and sometimes arduous and a chore to listen to. Same goes with most math rock bands.

[Poe-tryGirl]

Math rock?

[funkel]

Also, don't get why people call 65daysofstatic math rock. Or Battles for that matter.

That wiki list is terrible, hahaha. Every Time I Die? Hahaha.

[funkel]

Math rock?
Read the thread and you'll figure it out.

[Praetor]

I get Battles but not 65dos.

[funkel]

I get Battles but not 65dos.
Battles is a stretch. They've got so many elements to them that the only thing I way I could think of describing them would be experimental.

[Praetor]

Yeah I don't agree with labeling them as math rock but I would understand why somebody would.

[Poe-tryGirl]

Read the thread and you'll figure it out.
Done.

[funkel]

Yeah I don't agree with labeling them as math rock but I would understand why somebody would.
Have you checked out the wiki list? Totally lol-worthy.

Done.
And are you still confused?

[Poe-tryGirl]

And are you still confused?
No, I'm good.

[funkel]

No, I'm good.
Sweet.

This genre needed a band like This Town Needs Guns.

It also says Circle takes the square is a mathcore band

Oh, Wikipedia.

[Regards]

Meshugga is totally a math rock band, wiki doesn't lie

[funkel]

Another good math rock-esque band is Lite.
2008 album Phantasia is great.

[Praetor]

lol @ that wikipedia list

[CrenshawPunch]

Tera Melos is awesome.

[oddwithoutend]

black and white can't capture red and blue

Explanation?

[Robototron]

lol @ someone above not thinking Battles make Math Rock. Did you first hear about them when Mirrored came out and ignore their previous EPs or what?

[llwilliamsll]

No

Does it always have to be fast? I always thought it pertained to odd time signatures not normally used.

I think it's become to be more or less identified with the fast paced.

[lfdfforever]

Maps and Atlases

[NegativeCreep]

Maps and Atlases

i would disagree. most of their stuff is in 4/4 and just because they have odd tapping parts i wouldn't call them math rock. time signature changes are a big part of math rock

[Hey Kevin]

Piglet has absolutely blown my mind out of my skull, Adebisi Shank is tight, We are Knives, Cheval de Frise, Chevreuil, of course Maps and Atlases and This Town Needs Guns.

very honorable mentions:
Volta Do Mar
Dakota/Dakota
