Predominantly post-hardcore, with elements of noise rock and math rock.

We have different ears.

Sounds about right.

There's a punk edge to them though.

Institute - Giddy Boys 7" (2014)


Institute - "Weak Times" (Demo EP, 2013)


Institute - "Admit I'm Shit" (Catharsis, 2015)


Total Control - "Carpet Rash" (Henge Beat, 2011)


Total Control - "Meds II" (Henge Beat, 2011)

Viet Cong - "Unconscious Melody" (Cassette, 2013)


Viet Cong - "Structureless Design" (Cassette, 2013)
Not my favorite track on the demo, but arguably the most post-punk.


Viet Cong - "Continental Shelf" (Viet Cong, 2015)
This song still makes me melt, it's like everything I want music to be. Same for "Silhouettes" really.

I'm not saying he's wrong. I just wouldn't use the term predominantly. I also suck at and hate genres.

There's a punk edge to all of post-hardcore though. That's where it comes from.

In a sense, one could argue that post-hardcore is to the 90s what post-punk was to the 80s. 70s punk lead to post-punk, hardcore punk lead to post-hardcore.

Iceage are tricky, their first two records sounded to me like post-hardcore/noise rock (especially You're Nothing) with elements of post-punk, whereas Plowing Into The Field Of Love is straight Post-punk/Art rock. I prefer it to their two priors.

Also, Like to give a shout out
