Post-Battles Post Rock bands are insufferable?

[Chankgeez]

I'd be impressed if somebody could get their cymbal higher than Stainer's.

I don't think that's even close.

The drummer for Silversun Pickups keeps his crash pretty up there. At least he used to. I haven't been able to like anything after Carnavas so I don't know if he's changed his setup.

I'm not big on the clean/tappy end of math rock, but they keep it interesting most of the time.

I tend to dig the tappy stuff. I have and will continue to listen to the hell out of this album, and it makes for great running music once you figure out the tempo changes.

Plugging in my bud's band here.

Everytime I see Stainer's cymbal, I always think of A.C. Slayer, & vice versa

I kinda see the point of this thread (KINDA), & I'm glad Battles is/was even a thing, but I wish more people ripped off Bastro instead (they probably did, but I am lazy so ):

Bastro are the fucking epitome of everything and I rarely, if ever, see other bands giving them a nod. They're actually so hard to rip off though, those dudes had really weird/unique technique.

Then you will probably really like this record?
https://ananderson.bandcamp.com/album/very-machine

will check it out, thanks

I'm getting Slint and MAINLY Don Cab vibes out of this

which you could say is the same as Battles because of the Don Cab-Battles connection... but it's not I mean yeah, but... it's not. There were bands that came before Battles which I see much more influential

for the record - I like that record, thanks although I wish the bass sounded a little different

[voerking]

the Don Cab-Battles connection...

i still think the most interesting band from that axis is Storm & Stress.

NERD GLASSES ON, BATTLE MODE ENGAGED.




Yeah I think you're probably right, but this has slightly more of that 'robots skipping on acid' vibe that I associate with battles, beyond the mathy stuff.

When I was young & the only thing was the record store, I remember going to see them on their first tour, not knowing anything about their other bands, & it felt exactly like this:



Wish more bands would conduct elaborate photo shoots in moving vehicles more often, or at least pretend to (those were the days).

Bastro are the fucking epitome of everything and I rarely, if ever, see other bands giving them a nod. They're actually so hard to rip off though, those dudes had really weird/unique technique.

I can't stand that their records are OOP, or why Drag City only pressed a few batches when they reissued them (Bastro is for the children ), but that shit is hard! Grubbs was always like that, I think, even later on.

[boomslang]

Are there actually any post-rock bands kicking around anymore? It seems like it's dying/died off with a lot of other stuff that was big in 2007 (along with just about anything that has guitars in it).

[ognoy]

GY!BE is still releasing kickass records at least.

[DarkAxel]

ASIWYFA too

[Inconuucl]

This will destroy you.
