What's everybody's favorite post-rock band? Mine has to be Explosions though it wasn't always been that way (used to be Mogwai).

 

explosions by a lot. though, i enjoy some others too.

 

 

ps: mrs j: i wish i could see them live too. that's why you lying to them about the hot chicks (or dudes) is crucial.

late to the party

 

explosions is good - similar stuff to them

 

homesick for space - definitely check them out

appleseed cast's cd's aside from two conversations(which is really really good getupkids style emo) the other 3-4 cds are similar in scope to explosions but with more singing and a "bit" more rock influenced.

sigur ros - if you live under a rock and don't know them! the untitled cd is perfect! agejesusu buryin(sp) is also good i'm not super into von or the newer stuff...

mogwai - different but same vein and good.

my bloody valentine - WAY older but similar idea.

 

sponge - new pop sunday

get up kids - something to write home about - 4 minute mile

 

fair to midland while being totally removed from explosions ia also quite good for harder rock. They are pretty cool live too the singer's quite violent on stage! - the cd/ep before mayfly is also good.

 

edit - kinda really surprised to see 2 people recommend them! quince is a good track...#4(white picket fence...the name's escaping me) is my fav on the new cd...

i only know about fair to midland cuz mrs. jesus posted their last album here. i gave their newer album a try, based on my impression of that one, and it rocked my face off. i'm kinda surprised they haven't made it bigger than they have. maybe in time.

there were on permanent tour last year...plus did some collaboration with serg from system of a down.. By the next cd they should be getting some airplay. They were on some satellite radio with this cd.

dude, they are ALREADY getting airplay. on REGULAR radio, no less.

 

 

in the the great state of texas? I admittedly don't listen to the radio basically at all. Pittsburgh has 1 alt. radio station and philly has like 1 and a 1/2(unless you are in ear shot of colleges)

 

 

could also check out the faint- pretty removed from the general theme but kinda cool one in awhile.
