Nate2112 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 A wide enough genre for it's own thread, and with a good following. Been really kicking off to Toundra and God is an Astronaut lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Explosions In The Sky is pretty sick, also enjoy Sigur Ròs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarizeMe Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) Post-rock (especially instrumental post rock) is a touchy genre for me. At its best, it taps into an emotional state I don't get with other genres. At its worse though, it makes me think at times in a post-Mono/Godspeed You! Black Emperor world that the genre (at least instrumental post-rock) is down for the count and has little left to say for itself or at least, makes me wish I'd come across a newer band that puts a new spin on it if not original. Fortunately though, there's one band that gets lumped in the genre I think is really awesome that doesn't get thrown around as often and (rightfully so) deserves recognition and that's Caspian. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2oLPvtChRw I tend to gravitate towards the post rock bands that have a hard or driving edge to their sound. Russian Circles is another band of that ilk I love as well. I've heard a few God Is An Astronaut songs that I thought were pretty good but haven't explored more since, and I really liked the first two This Will Destroy You releases. I've heard of Toundra by name, but not yet listened to them but I think I will now. A lot of these bands I mentioned are instrumental, but I like Sigur Ròs too.

Mystic Slipperman Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Saw the Sigur Ros tour in 2008 .. one of the BEST gigs I've ever seen. SO powerful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I don't know what bands this label covers although I've heard of the genre before. I will have to look up a list to see if anything I like somehow falls into it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A really bad performance in Warsaw that was caused by a band member being under the influence of drugs led to their breakup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoopid Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) Nice flow chart Nate. I know of one band on it. Don't think they're anything special. Is the label endearing? "Post" isn't usually something I associate with innovation, although I suspect the intent is to be just that. Fwiw, here's the wiki on post rock for more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-rock Edited August 25, 2017 by stoopid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Post Rock is fine but I prefer Post Post Rock, which I find to be next level stuff, though there are some Post Rock influences, to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oracle Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 As much as I enjoy post-rock (Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, Sigur Ros, etc.), I can't help but feel it can be perceived as the most repetitive genre in the rock music spectrum. There's a reason why many people call it crescendo-core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
