Math Rock

[J-man]

I'd never really paid this genre any attention before but one of my friends introduced me to a band called Battles.

It's actually pretty cool stuff! Sorta Prog rock - but very modern (lots of electronica), and they use polyrhythms and odd melodies more than most prog bands who seem to focus on time signatures.

Even better - it's very listenable! (To me)

Check these out, and you might just like it!

See. That's why us kiddies that were born in the 60's turned out so cool.

Later generations got these:
