Depending on how heavy you want to go you could give Botch a go too

Giving them a listen now, sounds great and I love a Brudenell gig so this might be a goer :+1:

Do Drive Like Jehu count as math rock? If so: them. If not: still listen to them.

#24

Not for me Clive. Great band though. I’d put them down as post-hardcore…

Yeah that sounds fair play.

Although Yank Crime does contain the song ‘New Math’. Hmmm.

I think all of these are great and worthy of mention, top 5 being traditional mostly instrumental math the others being math rock, indie, post hardcore blends

I’ve listened to both those Don Caballero albums. I really dig em. Will try Oxxxes in a bit.

Remember long ago on old dis people arguing with me for saying slint were math rock, people trying to claim math rock actually meant dillenger escape plan type stuff, feel vindicated by this picture

Variations On Swing was 10 yesterday :heart::heart::heart:

Also cannot wait to go see Chon again next month - making a pilgrimage to the Boileroom in Guildford for the first time in… who knows how many years.

Sounds like people mixing up math rock (great) with mathcore (shit)

Yeah it was weird as it wasn’t just a couple of people it was the consensus of the thread, I eventually modified my position to slint being ‘math-tinged’ knowing full well that wasn’t really the case, seen enough terrible local math rock bands to know

Being able to remember a 9 year old disagreement doesn’t reflect well on me

Thanks to this chart it’s reminded me how much I fucking love “heavy water” by Foals

9 years? So you never knew anything about maths all along!

Think Variations is my most listened album ever - it’s so wild and frenetic I never get bored of it. I remember seeing them around that time with Secondsmile and not being overly impressed so slept on the album for aaaages - glad I actually gave it a go in the end.

in terms of Slint (and Shellac) they’re not what i think of as the typical math-rock sound and i’d generally describe them in different terms but i’m aware the genre grew out of them pretty much in the same way post-rock did. Don Caballero feel a bit like the bridging point between them and the more typical later math-rock sound.
