I`ve heard at least 8 or 9 bands on that list & quite honestly none of them do anything for me.I would say there are about 2 others I like but would hardly call them a favourite.To be honest of the stuff I have heard nothing really stood out.Nothing grabbed me by the balls & demanded I listen to it.And I said myself the UK scene has been in the crapper for about the last 5 years.

Fair enough. I just don't see why you're always complaining about the US scene being stale when there are a ton of bands still out there doing exciting things (whether you like them or not, you can't deny that they're not experimenting at the very least).

I don`t mind experimentation but I prefer versatility and thats my main sticking point with whats coming out of the U.S.
I`d rather listen to bands who mix stuff up rather than take one or two things & experiment with them.
Just taking one band you mentioned thats recent in my mind , you mentioned Xiu Xiu. I got their last album a couple of months ago , and to be honest most of the songs sounded indentical to me.I like highs & lows & textures in my albums and what I heard just sounded flat.

I don't even understand why you're so hung up on focusing on such a small scale like that. That doesn't change the fact that the US has a great Post-Rock scene as a whole.

Which would that be?

I think Explosions in the Sky is one of my favorites, but the other ones I like (Bark Psychosis, Flying Saucer Attack) are from the UK.

Sigur Ros (Iceland) and Godspeed You! Black Emperor (Canada).

I really like Explosions In The Sky though.
