Anyone here enjoy math rock?

[obsidian stirrup]

I like it

[swift ruin]

I played drums in a anime-themed mathrock band called Behelit for a bit. I've got some demos that we recorded like 5 years ago but never released.

[oblique steppe]

it's my favorite genre

ranging from Don Caballero's to TTNG's Math Rock

[acoustic wren]

Does Dillinger Escape Plan count?

[errant sundial]

What is Math rock? Any examples?

[obsidian stirrup]

It's like rock, but with complex rhythms, tempos, and time signatures. And the time signatures always change
For instance, you know that most songs are in 4/4 time.
In math rock they could use irregular time signatures like 5/4, 9/8,6/4, 7/4, and more
They could use 4/4 time, but it might not stay 4/4 for the entire song, because the song would be changing time signatures.

[obsidian stirrup]

Maybe I'd recommend the band, Chon

[errant sundial]

Thanks, I’ll have a listen

[errant sundial]

That’s pretty cool, more like a cross between old school vai and jazz. I think rock is a stretch 😂

[obsidian stirrup]

I would mostly recommend their album "grow", my favorite

[obsidian stirrup]

-_-

[vivid galleon]

I do as well

Does anyone know Delta Sleep

Possible the most math rocky of the math rock bands

[obsidian stirrup]

i guess

[blazing ravine]

Is math rock in any way simillar to prog ?

[oblique steppe]

I do not know Delta Sheep
my favorite are Don Cab, they are major math rock pioneers, I see people consider them like "pure math rock"

[oblique steppe]

kind of yeah

depends on who you listen to

[vivid galleon]

imo its very similar to prog

I like math rock and I like prog for the same reasons

so its prolly the same the other way around

[oblique steppe]

yeah

[blazing ravine]

I'm into Yes, Led Zep, Rush. I don't think math rock can relate to that can it ?

[oblique steppe]

yeah I don't think so then

[blazing ravine]

what band do you recommend ?

[obsidian stirrup]

Tricot, Chon, Tera Melos, Delta Sleep

My favorite has to be tricot

[obsidian stirrup]

I like their song Strongthany

[vivid galleon]

Yeah

they song Lake Sprinkle Sprankle is just like strongthany and its phenomal

[oblique steppe]

personally TTNG and Don Cab

TTNG are the best modern day math rock band imo, and Don Caballero is one of the most well known math rock pioneers

[obsidian stirrup]

you are right, gives off major Strongthany vibes

[vivid galleon]

yeah

another one

is

Uncle Ivan

more strongthany vibes

[vivid galleon]

Uncle Ivan is another song that gives major strongthany vibes
