I was going to go on this most recent tour, but they postponed some of the North American shows because one of the members I think had a pace-maker problem.

Post-rock is a fine genre. I mean, sure, Explosions in the Sky get bashed a lot because they seem to be the only post-rock band the guy next door would know about, but at-least they're talented and know how to do a live show properly. :)

I do prefer Tortoise and GY!BE if I want to post-rock out though. :band:

^EITS gets bashed? It seems the general consensus on the internet is "ZOMG I LUV DEM DEY MAIK DA MOST BEAUTIFUL MUSIX EVAR<3<3<3"

Are The Cure post-rock?

Well they're the best than.

*Excpects blunt "NO"*

Post-Rock might possibly be my favourite genre.

Favourites:
This Will Destroy You
65daysofstatic
God Is An Astronaut
Mogwai
GY!BE
Mono
Jakob
EitS
Sparrows Swarm and Sing

Bleh, I meant they get bashed in the sense that some critics think they were too hyped and exposed on their last few releases (compared to other bands in the same genre anyway). Its one opinion out there anyway....

And LMFAO @ Captain Caveman.

Nice! I've seen them 3 times so far - I missed their 10th anniversary show though.

saxon shore, yndi halda, and the album leaf are good too.
