ChooChooShoeShoot - Playland

This four piece from Nantes bring some pretty sweet, angular post punk/noise rock with the odd math elements cropping up. Pretty good just a shame you can only get a stream of it from bandcamp. Playland.

Race To Your Face - this be e.p

Instrumental two piece from Perth Australia. Bring finger tapping, guitar looping math rock that occasionally leans to the epic and post rock side at points, though not too the extent that it gets old. this courtesy of the previously mentioned guitar tapping with the drums which are always solid. Up for name your price on bandcamp good listening. this be e.p.

Jardín de la Croix - Ocean Cosmonauts

From Madrid Spain a four piece. Think of these guys as an instrumental band that kind of has a bit of on old school prog rock feel to them, but are kind of technically post rock/math rock in as much as they use crescendos and breaks from post rock, but kind of keep things moving along on the math rock time scale/speed. Pretty cool, over on bandcamp name the price. Ocean Cosmonauts.

Cash Crop - Roar Out the Hiss

These are a noise punk trio from California, the sound they have incorporates post punk and post hardcore with it. This is their first record that they released back in October this year. It has quite an epic feel to it, in a good way that doesn't drag parts by having the interesting changes in the right places. One of those records that draws you in. If you head over to their bandcamp you can pick this up for what you wish. Roar Out the Hiss.

Kabul Golf Club - Le Bal Du Rat Mort

Trio from Belgium here, with a range of influences including the Dillinger Escape Plan, At the Drive in, the Blood Brothers and the Jesus Lizard.. So these guys mix up those influences in what I would say was something like post hardcore come noise rock, dark sounding, interesting and energetic. This is the first EP from these guys and it is a great first effort but I do love these sort of jams and these guys rock. Le Bal Du Rat Mort, Facebook.

Feuding Fathers - Trust Me I'm a Father

Trio from Austin Texas, with a sound that is somewhere between Hella and Tera Melos, so pretty darn sweet. This is the second of two EPs they have about and is the easier of the two to get into. That said both are very much worth checking out. Both EPs are up on bandcamp, and both are up for name your price. Trust Me I'm A Father.

Isaac Bear - Colors Of This Earth

A trio from Sacramento give us some progressive/mathy styled sweet ass funk rock. This is solid as, real whole sound vocals sit well and everything. Not gonna say too much here, basically this was released yesterday and is real good deserving of some listening. Colours Of This Earth.

Teeph - Vietnamaste

Take math rock mix it with post metal, noise rock and grindcore and you'll end up with something that sounds like this if you're lucky.. Teeph pull off the mix of styles nicely.  This is the second album from this trio from Chico US and was released back in May this year for name your price on bandcamp. Vietnamaste.

DevonMiles - We May Lack Time, But We Don't Waste It

Group from Orleans in France, these guys give us the lighter side of post hardcore not in the pop sense but more in the indie levels of distortion as apposed to hardcore levels, they also throw in mathy elements in the shape of some of the drums and arrangements and odd mathy guitar tweaks. Wont blow your mind, but definitely worth checking out. Can get a listen of this on bandcamp, priced at what you name too. We May Lack Time, But We Don't Waste It.

A.M.Feelgood - (feelgood)

Ok so at the moment these just have two tracks from their upcoming EP, but these are worth checking out now. A four piece from Austin Texas playing energetic and intricate math rock that almost seamlessly mixes into post rock. I'm for one looking forward to the rest of the EP being put up. Whilst waiting for that though you can always go check these two out now, can be got for name your price bandcamp ways. *will post again when the rest is out. (feel good).

Turbou - *

So another Russian band, well they split this summer, but they were a two piece from Moscow. So they played the experimental indie come math rock sound, well mathy in places.. To me they kind of sound like two piece math rock that takes a fair amount of influence from say sonic youth and fugazi.. Anyway they deserve a listen, and for the effort of a trip to bandcamp you will find all sixteen tracks of this for free! Turbou - *

Yawn Hic - Weird Blue Thing

Right so been a bit on the slack side for posting lately, not good. Never fear though have been and rustled up some lovely tuneage..

Yawn Hic are a Russian band, that play on the slightly heavier side of math rock, I kind of want to say post hardcore meets math rock but I don't think that's spot on. So maybe math rock, post hardcore elements and post rock elements. I kinda hear Shapes having gone and got mashed up having a space jam.. might just be me. Maybe just go and check them out, if you do so this can be found for the price you name on bandcamp. Weird Blue Thing.
