Thread: Experimental/Avant-garde/Art Rock

Oh shit...This stuff is so good. I want you all to look at these bands.

Bands:
The Sound of Animals Fighting
Circa Survive
The Appleseed Cast
Battles
The Mercury Project
65DaysofStatic
The Mars Volta

If you have heard of them or regularly listen to them, pl0x contact me.

I love the Mars Volta but I havent heard of any of those other bands. Do you like Sonic Youth?

Sonic Youth is quite alright. I have only heard stuff off Daydream Nation however.

:\

Do you really have to call it experimental? 65DoS and Battles is more electronic than anything else.
Mars Volta is hardly experimental.
And calling anything art-rock just sounds like you're jerking off to it.

:\

"Quite alright"?
...Understatement of epic proportions, in my humble opinion.

I would highly recommend you delve deeper. There are so many options with them. Some of my personal favorites are:

+ Dirty
+ Washing Machine
+ Sister

Or if you prefer something more mellow, Rather Ripped is really good...even though people tend to give it some flack.

65DoS is one of my favorites
If you like them you might also like God is an Astronaut and Russian Circles

Those are great. Saxon Shore is good if you like Russian Circle, as well.
