Funk metal - Faith No Peppers or Red Hot No More
Although it starts to feel like I'm just coming up with the name of cover bands that play songs from two very similar bands.
This just makes me imagine Math Rock as literally rock music about math. Though I guess it'd now be something closer to PolvoFootball (this is the most obscure reference I'll ever make here unless I make reference to those freeware RPG Maker games I played 10-15 years ago).
Is that a reference to Polvo and American Football?
So:
SlOdan - Math Rock
@Maxz - one of my mates is majorly into Meshuggah and kept going on about djent. As I've never seen the word written down I kept googling 'gent' and, well, getting very odd stuff.
But I was on their wiki page the other day, and it all makes sense now!
@kkslider5552000 Well The Peppers are one of the worst gigs I've ever been to. 20 minutes of jamming before they even play the opening song which wouldn't be a problem if it was in a club but at a festival where there's been days of drinking and dancing you need to open with something that slaps to get the 80k+ crowd engaged to avoid all energy being drained away. I'm pretty sure Can't Stop isn't even a song, it's a warning about their jam sessions!
@Rambler In fairness everything mashs with Faith No More, the last time I saw them they remixed the East Enders theme into one of their songs.
Is that a reference to Polvo and American Football?
Yes! I was glad to find out they are actually huge in their genre, since they're basically the only two bands I've listened that much of from that genre (I'm otherwise just endlessly amused at the term "math rock" existing as the actual name of a genre).
@kkslider5552000
Not to split hairs and the like - bit I will anyway! - I always thought of American Football as more emo. It's some of the people from Cap'n Jazz, one of the mainstays of second-wave emo iirc.
Polvo - definitely!
Slint, Rondan, and especially Don Caballero are progenitors of math rock, I think.
Don Cab sound incredible, and Slint is what happens when a teenage hardcore band starts listening to King Crimson, and then combines it into something unique. All early Mogwai songs sound like For Dinner... by Slint ;-p
It's basically kids from hardcore bands who can really really play - prog hardcore, maybe.
A new friend at uni made me a tape with Endtroducing by DJ Shadow on one side and Spiderland on the other - what a tape!
@Jump - I loved the way that FNM seemed to be the serious Snuff for a while. I'm sure I have a live recording of them doing Glory Box, and on the single of Easy (as it wasn't on the orig pressing of Angledust) is obviously that song and a quick blast through Jump Around during We Care A Lot.
Them doing the Corrie theme wouldve been amazing. Or Home and Away
