No Russian Circles in the UK :(

Also a bit of an odd question but where can I get a mug with a post rock band on it? *ShelsMusic don't sell them, I can get a russian circles canteen but not a mug. None of the bigger bands. I can't be pretentious at work without a post rock mug damnit!

Back on topic have you guys heard Latitudes? They are drat ace if you are into the heavier stuff.

Also they have a new album coming out next month. :woop:

Ok I absolutely take that back. I bought it off iTunes on my phone and haven't even finished a single play through and love it already.

I was waiting so hard for this album and expecting to be blown away by it and was dissapointed when I listened to it for the first time. It just seems dumbed down to me. After a number of listens its grown on me but I still think I prefer agonist.

Just out of chance I noticed a post rock band called vessels were playing near me last night, went and had a look. Support act was terrible but vessels themselves were amazing - a lot better than I expected at the small dive bar they were playing at.

Vessels are really good, going to catch them for the third or fourth time in Cardiff tomorrow. It's Leeds tonight and London on Sunday. Do they still have two drummers?

Yeah they all seemed to switch instruments, drummer 2 did synth some of the time but it was ace when they were both going on drums.

I got The Quiet Lamb by Her Name is Calla a while back and on first spin didn't get super into it. But upon revisiting I've noticed that this is some very interesting, very worth while material.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnxn954pQ78

I found out via facebook that they were playing 3 hours away supporting cult of luna (who pretty heavy) Went down on super short notice for it and they played a half hour set :qq:. At least it was decent stuff and the other support band was a band called humanfly who are also quite heavy but I really liked their stuff. I also talked to Calla's lead singer as asked if he would play my city when they tour again in may sometime, heres hoping.

Humanfly btw

Her name is Calla are playing in my town in a couple of months which makes up for my 3 hours travel to see the half hour set last time. The support is a band called midas fall and it turns out they are also pretty kickin!

Also seconding Mogwai are awesome but the songs do vary greatly so its a bit hard to get into the kick of things.

So I know they were initially brought up in this thread as "not post-rock", but at this point I frankly don't care. I've been going up Swans's discography backwards, starting from The Seer, and every album is full of new and awesome discoveries. I've been hung up on Soundtracks for the Blind, and in particular The Sound is a track that will definitely reach the GY!BE/early Mogwai post-rock lovers out there.

Yeah I had a freind suggest them to me a while back and I kinda shrugged it off but god drat the seer is an ace album.

Good course of action.

Recently I've been getting more into lyrical post-rock. Which isn't to say I wasn't before; Sigur Rós and Under Byen have long been favorites of mine. Efterklang's early work is arguably post rock, and I love it. Recently mentioned were iamthemorning who are also incredible. Lavinia was fun for a bit but they don't have a lot of music so I got tired of them fairly quickly (The fact that I've listened to Marriage's Kitsune more that a hundred times notwithstanding). Laura of Australia occasionally use lyrics but I'd hesitate to call it lyrical post-rock because the voice is often drowned (like The Pirate Ship Quintet) or just used in songs that aren't really post-rock while Laura of Norway are only on the edge of post-rock and only released one EP before disbanding. Well I've name dropped seven bands that you could call lyrical. Long story short, it's hard to find lyrical post-rock. I'd love to hear about more bands, especially with female singers.

Edit: Forgot about Midas Fall.

Its not reaaaaaly post rock but I think the guitar work is very kinda math post rocky but lets buy happiness are p coo'.

Is anyone going to dunk festival? I only just heard about it and maybe its a bit late to buy a flight to belgium..

Went to see T E Morris form her Name is Calla and Midas fall the other night. Quite a good show but it was so empty, I felt really bad for them, must have been like 15 people there max. Had a good chat with them tho and bought some albums and stuff.

Theyve been talked about in the black metal thread before but I figure Deafheaven is enough of post-rock band as well to discuss in here.

These guys are fantastic. A blend of post-rock, shoegaze and black metal. It makes for a pretty intense sound. Two of my friends are in the band so I got to see them at 285 Kent in Brooklyn recently. Absolutely mind blowing show. The singer has a really amazing stage presence.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpblqUh_C24

If you arent a fan of black metal style vocals, you probably arent going to like these guys.

Marriages are supporting them on their tour but I didn't get a chance to go see them :(

I don't know how well known Marriages are but its another band from Emma ruth rundle who was in Red Sparrowes

Mark from Explosions in the Sky and Matt Cooper (Eluvium) have a new project together called Inventions and they released their first track called Entity. Overall, it's not grabbing me as much as any Explosions stuff or any Eluvium stuff, but there are parts I do like.

Their album comes out on April 1st.

April 1st? Your face will be red when it's a reggae album!

Any post-rock fans around Glasgow or Edinburgh? I've just moved up here and there doesn't seem to be much of a scene. Looking for gigs and some good local bands/venues to check out.

Also I want to go and see We Were Promised Jetpacks next month in Glasgow and I have nobody to go with. Not really the same genre but maybe there's a bit of a crossover fanbase.

There's a glaswegian band called Inuit who are playing in Glasgow soon. They're pretty good. I think this will destroy you are playing Glasgow soon too.

I don't think this was mentioned before, but the Watter album is pretty great and would appeal to people who like bands such as Red Sparowes. Nice reverb-y warm sounding guitars.

They have Zak Riles from Grails and Britt Walford from Slint as band members.

They uploaded a photo album called "Back to work" to their Facebook page and it has a few photos of them jamming in a practice space.
It was only uploaded a few hours ago and I haven't seen any other details yet but let's hope we get a new release from them sometime this year.

What are the better bands on the heavier side of things? I really love Russian Circles. Listening to Red Sparowes today, who are really good but not *quite* heavy enough. Is there anybody that's as good as RC but similarly or even more :rock:

I had a guy at work ask me this the other day so I have a few more to add:

Latitudes (first ep is purely instrumental)
