[QUOTE=JamJar;12452646]I'd been intending to make a post-rock thread for a while now and I think that a thread is really overdue.

From the ghostly soundscapes of Sigur Ros to the uplifting melodies of Explosions in The Sky, Post rock is a genre that a lot of people can enjoy. Many people consider the genre great to relax to and I for one have to agree with that as it is so easy just to sit down with a post rock album and listen. If you are not familiar with the genre, just imagine long brooding songs, usually of about 10+ minutes with rock instruments executed in a classical style. Discuss all things post rock.

Reccomended bands:

Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Sigur Ros
Explosions In The Sky
A Silver Mt. Zion
Mogwai
Mono
Seascapes of the Interior[/QUOTE]

Alot of these bands are a major influences in our lives, and most of them have inspired us to play music all together. If you like these bands, you check out our band, Oriin. We are a post rock quartet from south Texas. Give us a listen and tell us what you think.

me :upset:

listen to the new Long Distance Calling album, its superb

Jrowa Imma check it out, hopefully it's as good as you say.

dont hurt me if it isnt

listened to kyte - kyte, the other night, kyte - kyte was indeed alright

Don Caballero; shame they kind of suck now.

eh, i still enjoy them

The only thing I found interesting about their latest album was the drummer, but he's always been really impressive so that's not really enough for me to bother with it.

agreed, but i still can find stuff in punkgasm that i view as somewhat catchy enough to enjoy

it's not my favorite album by them but i still enjoy it

Grails has to be my top post rock band.

Jakob, Piglet, Giraffes? Giraffes! and The Mercury Program are v nice.

long distance calling

and so i watch you from afar

[QUOTE=Txus;17446434]and so i watch you from afar[/QUOTE]
