Explosions in the sky

[The_shotgun_message]

OK i know that these guys are not emo or hardcore but i reckon alot of people here like them. If not then please close the thread. Myfavourite song would have to be the only moment we were alone. Talk about them here.

[whiteminority]

the earth is not a cold dead place...

[The_shotgun_message]

[bhholmes20]

By the end of tonight is more my cup of tea

they are definately good though, I also dig unwed sailor

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

I like them. I like how they don't have to use lyrics/vocals to display emotion.

[tornpictures]

First Lp is all I've heard and it's awesome

[Sep]

I really need to buy "The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place". Your Hand In Mine <3<3<3

[Saturday Supercade]

They are okay, I miss some vocals sometimes though. They are pretty cool live to!

[Mr. Ron]

One of the best bands to pick up instruments.

[deadohiosky9]

remember me as a time of day

[Iron Bug]

One of the best bands to pick up instruments.
Agreed.

[whiteminority]

They do more for me than alot of emo bands.

[Mr. Ron]

Greet death is killer.

[I play a squier]

Explosions In The Sky are really awesome. I love "The Only Moment We Were Alone," I find they use instruments in that song to really build an atmosphere.

[Luxor]

They're pretty amazing.

[fan of the game]

band is amaing, they make me wanna go camping and stare up at the stars all night with a special someone

[srt-4]

i downloaded their stuff not too long ago along with a lot of other similar post rock type stuff, but didn't spend that much time listening. i have how strange, inoocence; the earth is not a cold dead place, and those who tell the truth... which is their best?

lately i've been listening to red sparowes a lot. if you like explosions in the sky and haven't heard them, check out the song alone and unaware, the landscape transformed in front of our eyes.

[Rather Be Forgotten]

I've been a fan for a long while. got all their albums and such. I had to import them and such but it was worth it I love this band soo much.

[I play a squier]

since there are some recommendations here:

www.myspace.com/teramelos

you wont be dissapointed.

[EvIL_ToASTER_OVEN]

also reccomended: www.myspace.com/woodandwires

eits are captivating. they make pretty pretty music; i'm leaving my hardcore/emo stage and just listening to post-rock lately.

red sparowes are really good

[bottlerocket]

I'll check them out once I stop being lazy. :p

[anti_kimi]

definately wonderful band,
I own all their albums, absolutely spectacular

[whiteminority]

Check out The Earth is Not A Cold, Dead Place once laziness gets out of your system.

[Mr. Ron]

Definetly get their first album. Greet death is such a good song.

[bottlerocket]

^^ Will do...thanks, guys. :thumb:

They're a sorta instrumental band, right?

-Gav

[whiteminority]

Instruments do everything for EITS that vocals do for other bands and then some.

[pixiesfanyo]

Great stuff.

I think they're kind of like GYBE only poppy, in that I can't decide which is better. Post Rock tends to annoy me though, because it's all the same. EiTS do original ****. I dig all of their records although their first one is nowhere near the latest two. The Travels in Constant is some good **** and is a neat idea.

Basically they're awesome.

[skinnypuppy]

EITS are amazing in studio, and live. I saw them in CA a month or so ago and was blown away. It's like a religious experience the music is so amazing. Honestly, if you get a chance, see them live.

[Luxor]

I would also recommend 65daysofstatic to any Explosions fan.

[Lazybassplr56]

I like them but sometimes I listen to them and become bored very quickly. I like listening to them on long evening drives (riding shotgun) when the sun is setting. It sounds pretty corny but it puts me to sleep.

[kieranmark]

I've only heard "Your Hand In Mine" adn "Our Last Days As Children" but they are both spectacular songs, i'm gonna look into them more

[Sep]

I ordered "The Earth..." off revhq yesterday. :cool:

[StandingStill]

I would also recommend 65daysofstatic to any Explosions fan.
Indeed. More people need to listen to that band. I read an interview where they talked about wanting to collaborate with Circle Takes The Square. That would be so awesome.

[The_shotgun_message]

Seeing as wer on the topic of beautiful ambiant bands, im really into mogwai and sigur ros at the moment. Anyone here heard the envy/mogwai collaboration(sp?) yet, its awsome.

[Spiritofmosa]

damn i just got into this band.. they are great. which album do u guys recommend

[srt-4]

i would recommend those who tell the truth shall die, those who tell the truth shall live forever, tracks 2-5 are particularly outstanding. the earth is not a cold dead place is more mature and cohesive, but to me it just lacks the power and epic feel of those who tell the truth. how strange innocence is great too, but i think it is the weakest of their releases, they hadn't quite come into their own yet.

and nice avatar.

[DaveToopes]

I just got into EiTS, and I like them a lot. I'll check out some of the other bands mentioned in this thread.

[dei]

Why are people barely starting to talk about them? A few years too late, friends. I've been listening to them for almost five years now.

[DaveToopes]

Congrats.

[The_shotgun_message]

Your hand in mine = awsome.....
Check out ...of sinking ships for sure if you like eits

[Brain Toad]

****ing amazing band

If they ever come to Hawaii, I wouldn't mind spending $20-30 to see them.
