At The Drive-in to Reunite 2012

I know there are a lot of ATD-I fans in here as well, so I couldn't hesitate in posting this big news here! The band has launched a website and a twitter account announcing their re-union (hope this is not a troll or something). Honestly can't wait to hear new songs by them or their older stuff.

What do you think about this?

City of Ifa - Owl Eyes (Demo)

And it seems City of Ifa doesn't like resting from making new music, so here's a new single by City of Ifa from their upcoming new album. According to facebook statuses and stuff, they're planning to release an split with Henrietta (band in which is involved now their former drummer -they seem to share their band's members very often with other bands or something like that) Well, the main subject here is that new City of Ifa is coming up, so let's have a sneak peak at their brand new sound

Tommy the Warden - An Architect's Revelation pt. 1

asdjfhadbfmjffa I'll post this one really quick 'cause my stomach hurts so bad. Just take a listen to it, and free dl from their bandcamp :)

Light Black - Joy and Sunshine Just Beneath your Feet

Here's Light Black (side project by Paul Hundeby -guitar/vox from City of Ifa). I would say this project is more chilled out and experimental, anyway you can notice the mathy tappings and his signature screams.

Walter Kappler: Guitar/Bass

Paul Hundeby: Vocals/Drums/Bass

Good Citizens - Soma Holiday

I would say this is the totally math/instrumental version of Oh No! It's Birds! Without a bassist, and including the artwork's style- pretty damn kickass. These two guys released this EP on October, so it's still fresh out of the oven. This band is totally natural, no pedal effects or whatsoever.

My favourite track of the whole EP:

The Dead Revolt

xThisisdisaster (Yougotablog) did it again!

Progressive rock three-piece-band from Houston, Texas. This band combines all sorts of rythms, goin from acoustic and slow intros up to fast and heavy drumming. Lots of tapping, intense riffing and an awesome drummer going on over there. If you are more into progressive stuff you'll definitely dig this band.

(No, they don't have facebook)

My favourite drum track of theirs:

She Looks Like a Horse

She Looks Like a Horse is an awesome math 3 piece band that might sound as a perfect mix of TFOT and Tera Melos, including some happy songs using TFOT-ish pull ons and pull offs, clean vocals, instrumentals, lots of pedal effects, and also some insane tappings and crazy breakdowns. Listen to them and you'll see what a I mean. Highly recommended.

Thanks to xThisisdisaster for this one (Yougotablog)

The Fall of Troy - Live at the Glasshouse

[Updated*] Yeah! it's tfot live at the glasshouse in 6 parts (mediafire to megaupload). It's not a torrent as you will find it anywhere else. So check it out!

*Part 5 was missing. Now is up!

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

*Their drummer, Nnamdi, has done a lot of music appearances as guitarist and drummer in different projects:

-Richard Def and the Mos Pryors (Math/Rock/Alternative)

-Itto (Math)

-Nervous Passenger (Punk)

-Nnamdi Sooper-dooper Secret Side Project (Alternative/Rock/Hip-Hop)

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.
