I'm a pretty big fan of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Set Fire To Flames (which has some members of Godspeed...), Mogwai, and Sigur Ros.
I'm also in a small post-rock band myself. We don't have any recordings yet, so don't ask me for them. My brother's in fairly big post-rock band in Duluth, Minnesota. If you feel like it, their myspace site is www.myspace.com/portraitofadrownedman |
it's about time we had a post-rock thread. it is the most expressive style of music, in my experience. and yes, i've listened to an extensive amount of everything. :D
here are some bands you guys should check out--besides the staples already mentioned, of course: 65daysofstatic the american analog set the ascent of everest caspain esmerine (my favorite post-rock of late) fly pan am giants god is an astronaut grails hangedup hrsta jakob laura lights out asia my dad vs. yours pg.lost salvatore the samuel jackson five saxon shore set fire to flames signal hill six organs of admittance sparrows swarm and sing this is your captain speaking the timeout drawer tristeza unwed sailor ynda halda |
Man, I'd love to live in Montreal, with their thriving post-rock scene. There are so many Godspeed You! Black Emperor side-projects. It's some good stuff.

I don't listen to much, mainly just classic ones like Sigur Ros and Explosions In The Sky and From The Sky (They are on SD).

Oh good, i need some help here anyways:
I don't know anything about post-rock but never shy, I bought an explosions in the sky CD. I was going to buy the CD with the angle on the cover because the art was great, but apparently thats their "mediocre" album. So I was told to get some white one with writing all over it, but the clerk said it was their softer one, so I ended up buying "All of a sudden" and have yet to listen to it. Long story short: Is "All of a Sudden" worth the listen, or should I have picked up something else? Edit: I listened to esmerine on the back of Six's recommendation and having heard that I'm wondering what the qualifications were for Post-rock? And do the two Buckethead gem's "Electric Tears" and "Colma" count as post-rock albums? I think their great, try White Wash, Ghost (both from Colma) or "Sketches of Spain (for Miles)," or "Mantaray" (both from tears) |
I like Earth Is Not etc, best. All of a Sudden is worth a listen but I would've picked up somethinhg else, however since you have it put it on.
