who are your favourites?

if you dont know what it is, look it up on Wikipedia, they have a pretty good definition and band list there.

It doesn't have to be dead for it to have a post-genre. Punk wasn't dead when post-punk came about. Emo wasn't dead when post-emo came about. Anyway, my favorite post-rock band is a dead tie between Sigur Ros and Explosions in the Sky. Honorable mentions to GY!BE and Mogwai.

^agreed. But I've been confused about what post rock is for a while so, what exactly is it?

~~bungalow~~ · 05-08-2006, 03:17 PM

It is using the normal rock set-up (guitar, bass, drums) to produce a sound completely different from 'rock'.

Definitly. A Song For Our Fathers is one of the greatest songs EVER. If you disagree I don't care.

I agree... i cant say how excited i was when i found out they were re-releasing How Strange, Innocence. its their best work i think.

Post rock is mostly described as simply being this, bands that use rock instruments for non rock purposes.

i often call it the bridge between rock and classical..

but anyway, listen to Red Sparowes!

There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that.
