are good examples of Post Rock and are easy to find at least on youtube to give you some idea. I equate a lot of Post Rock to ambient film soundtracks. If you don't like them, then you probably won't like the genre.

Heard good words about Mogwai and Godspeed..., never come across any of the others before. I'll start blogsearching them immediately. Cheers pal
