City of Ifa - EP

Did you know City of Ifa also went through a mathy/experimental phase?

This EP begins with the typical math guitar tapping song (rough version of British Museum), in order to continue with repetitive, quick breakdowns and solos. There also you can notice the exploration process of these guys seeking a sort of own signature sound, since there's from acoustic parts to progressive bridges. Listen to the whole album and you'll see what I mean.

EP

The Para-medics - Switch It On Em!!!

Math/Prog/Instrumental band from Lansing, IL.

This album has a sort of soft-agressive mathcore begining, mathing their way out and finally reaching a progressive section. Then it continues with their song Tropical Caterpillar (the song's name gives you an accurate idea about the sound of it). And finally Mosquito Pope as the serious-prog. section of the album.

Line-up:

-Dylan Piskula/Guitar

-Brian Baliga/Bass

-Nnamdi Ogbonnaya/Drums

The Math Corner - New Section

Alright guys, I was thinking of a new section for the blog. Since I've seen a lot of suggestions about really cool math bands, and it would be such a shame losing those suggestions during the course of the time -and also to give them the chance of seeing the light of day-, the blog will now have a new section named The Math Corner. The bands belonging to this section will be tagged under "The Math Corner", and the corresponding band name, so you can find them quickly in the "Bands" section (below at the right side of the blog).

Hope you like this new idea! Cheers!

Giant Battle Monster - Gaint Battle Monster Vs Man With a Gun for a Head EP

Progressive/Math/Experimental band from Houston, Texas. They have shared stage with Sunrise and Ammunition. I have listened to this countless times lately. What I mostly like about this band is the sound of their drums, reflecting a sort of agressive and energetic feeling.

(Thanks to Me and My Music Call it Insanity, for this recommendation)

Anisette - Fruit Salad

Didn't find info about this one. They define themselves as organic/pop/rock and roll. I would include math within their description.
