The Milford Higgins - Destroyer

Ok so time for something that's as totally sweet as it is also totally free, sweet. Four piece here that nicely mix up the post hardcore with math rock, with vocals that are emo to screamo types. Really digging this vibe at the mo. So these are a four piece from California released this back in July. Anyways you should probably go check out this free gem up on the bandcamp. Destroyer on bandcamp.

Night Toucher - Night Toucher

This is something I wish I had come across sooner because it's so good. progressive rock come math rock tunes. Basically old school prog vibes going on mixing with the math rock, some brilliant organ and guitar parts mixing it up together in there, works so well. These are a four piece from the Grand Rapids US, and they released this all the way back in 2006.. It's not up for free or anything like that but really do check it out still. Night Toucher Bandcamp.

Saint Coltrane / Weird Wives - 7" Singles split

Saint Coltrane and Weird Wives split 7" for those of you that like some punk tunes, two real good ones for you here. Both tracks are pretty sleazy punk with Saint Coltrane's effort being the more up beat and edgy of the two. While Weird wives bring a darker/eerier more chugging sound. Both good tunes and should be checked out if you like your punk. Saint Coltrane are based in Brighton UK while Weird Wives are from Miami. You can check these tunes out on soundcloud plus two bonus tracks (one from each band) they have up there. Saint Coltrane/Weird Wives.

Hank - The Chinaski Demos

Mathy punk three piece from Champaign in the US. Dropped this their third release yesterday, sounds like their best to date, not as much finger tapping as on the last release but the songs work better me thinks.. Anyways good tunes have a check of the bandcamp, this is up for name price along with the previous two releases. Bandcamp.

Likes Lions - First The Head, Later The Tale

I liked these guys first release, Future Colour that they put out last October, but I have been a bit slow in checking out this their latest release. Likes Lions are a five piece that come from Sheffield UK and play a catchy blend of indie styled math pop, post-rock not super mathy but good tunes none the less. So they dropped this on the 10th of Sep and on this release they seem to have nailed their own sound down more and blend their influences more coherently than the previous release, the trade off being loosing a bit of edginess that was present on the first but hey.. They have this and also their first release up on bandcamp for name your price and both are well worth checking out. Likes Lions.

Bearded Youth Quest - Quantumplation

Real fun sounding instrumental math rock here, five piece playing out of Brighton UK two track ep released at the start of June this year. Think sort of in the vein of You Slut! real good. This is up for name your price on bandcamp and if you take the trip there, which you should, also check out their earlier ep also really good. Bandcamp.

Omniataxia - Omniataxia

I like what these guys here are doing and it sounds like they work hard to push the envelope. Omniataxia are a two piece from Boston playing experimental metal with a strong math rock vein running through, also stepping through noise rock and jazz elements great stuff. Three tracks released from these guys at the start of August for name your price up on bandcamp, Three epic tunes that range from chaotic almost tech grind style shreds to ambient noise. Check them out up on bandcamp.
