The Joint Chiefs of Math - WIRES

These are a duo from Philadelphia, this is their third release. Some pretty epic math rock, very dense and complex sounding and generally pretty sweet. This was released back in July and is up on bandcamp name the price good times. WIRES.

Mahogany Hand Glider - Naked Huf

So here's hoping a good Christmas was had by all.

Something to break up the post Christmas pre new years lull period. These guys come from Leeds and this EP is their first effort. A rather descent first outing from these giving us three fine tunes of the math rock/post rock variety, with a bit of a prog rock feel running through in places. Definitely worth a look, plus this is up for free on bandcamp. Naked Huf

Hero of a Hundred Fights - The Remote, The Cold

So these were a four piece from Chicago that unfortunately disbanded back in 2001 leaving behind a couple of releases as well as this. This is probably their most complete effort and is them as a four rather than three piece, plus was recorded by Steve Albini.. These guys played a pretty cool mix of post hardcore and math rock, pretty complex and fast paced. Bonus is these days is you can pick this up on bandcamp name the price. The Remote, The Cold.

14 foot 1 - Two

Second release from this trio from Providence, they bring the energetic quick moving math rock. More of a refined sound on this record which incorporates a bit more of the noise rock than the previous one which works well. Here's hoping they put out another full length sometime.Two.

Challenger - Greatest Hits

Some math rock from this band from Massachusetts, pretty straight up math most of the time and this isn't a bad thing. Descent tunes here well worth a good listen. I'm guessing the greatest hits name is a joke too.. I've given up trying to find much on these too many bands called Challenger. This is up on bandcamp on the name your price.  Greatest Hits.

Los Piedra - Antiperro

This band are from Argentina and bring us a rather pleasing sound that is comprised of math rock, post punk and stoner rock, very descent. Can't find much info on these unfortunately, they dropped this back in 2009 they also have another record previous to this and that's all I know.. Both this and the previous record are up on the bandcamp and you can decide what to pay yay. Antiperro.

Alright the Captain - SNIB

These guys are one of my favourite homegrown bands from the UK at the moment, they rock. I was unfortunate enough to miss these guys play back in September when they were supporting toe in London. I got stuck in traffic and missed their set how lame?! I heard they owned it too, not that it surprised me.
Anyway I'm waffling, These guys do rock. They hail from Derby and bring a sound mix of math rock that's bordering on the metal spectrum at times, and has the ever present use electronics and effects down a T.. All this results in something Pretty epic. SNIB.   

Toast - EP

From Monroe Louisiana is a brilliant little four piece that go under the name of Toast. You gotta love some toast right? You should because they produce some very neat math rock tunes. I think these guys go under the banner of post-math rock either way they released this their first EP all the way back in August, and it's a great piece of math that's weaving, intricate and all round absorbing and good. To make it even better they have this up on bandcamp for name the price, nice. Toast EP.

Psychojet - The Sea Is Never Full

Still have some catch up posting to do but this came out the other day and is pretty sweet.

Psychojet is a four piece from Ireland, they released this their debut this Monday which is good. These bring some pretty sweet post rock tunes, the descent sort that isn't boring, which at points also leans towards the mathier end of things which is always a plus in my book anyways. All in all some good listening I will be looking forward to more tunes from these in the future. To add you can grab a digital for name the price on bandcamp definitely worth a look. The Sea Is Never Full.

Gastric Band - Party Feel

From Glasgow Scotland we have this five piece. These are great, they bring really sweet instrumental progressive rock, pretty experimental and has definite mathy elements in there, whats even greater is just how listenable it is, very. I really like the movement to this record, it rocks and never bores. To top it off they also have it out on bandcamp for you to name a price for. win. Party Feel.

Former Animals - Former Animals

So another day and some more awesome bands to add to the new noise archives, awesome bands that were inexcusably left out first time around..

Former Animals are a four piece from California, they play a most excellent combination of experimental/progressive rock and math rock, these are so good. The sound they have kind of reminds me of the tera melos back in the drugs to the dear youth days. These are definitely another entry right up there in my top ten for the year, just love some of the use of effects in this gives me the sensation of tripping yay. You can grab a copy of this from bandcamp for a price you name so total bargain. Former Animals.

Fish Tank - Henry

So started a catch up of bands not previously posted, is turning into more of a collection than I first thought.. Will leave you with one more for today though.
This is something back from the beginning of the year. So Fish Tank are a three piece playing out of Kent in the UK. These guys play that math rock indie mixer, something I’m quite likely to term math pop, something I think we do quite well here in the UK and these are no exception. Bringing the right levels of complexity with catchyness and an up beat sound. You can grab this for a price you name over on the bandcamp. Henry.

Bearcubbin'! - Get Your Heavies Out

A instrumental two piece playing out of Portland US, bring the math rock looping style with plenty of extra electronics adding to the sound. This is a bit heavier than their previous release which was a bit more battles esc but works really really well, great record really. Out on bandcamp name the price! Get Your Heavies Out.

Girlfriends - Girlfriends

Bit of one man, math pop, polyrythmic goodness from Portland US. Lots of looping going on here, with vocals that go from the arty indie wails to more of the post hardcore style shouts, pretty interesting stuff and catchy. You can grab yourself a copy of this from bandcamp for the price you name..Girlfriends.

Farther Figure - Congratulations On Your Loss

And on with the catching up.. Right some more awesomeness for you, I have no excuse for this not being up sooner. So Farther Figure are a four piece playing out of New York, they play a really great mix up of progressive rock with math rock, totally top notch stuff and is one of my favourite releases of 2012. They have this up on bandcamp for name the price, really no excuse not to check these guys out. Congratulations On Your Loss.

3dCosby - Satan's Secret

Right so once again I have been a bit on the intermittent side of updating and I apologize. Have decided to a bit of a catch up on bands that for one reason or another I didn't post about when I first noticed them.

Right first band of the catch up!

I have to start with this band as I have had this playing a lot recently and they are awesome. 3dCosby are a two piece hailing from New York and they bring some really really decent as progressive rock with definite mathy vibes running strong in places. Very much definitely worth a wee check out on the bandcamp. Satan's Secret.

10 Paces, Fire - Twenty / Twelve

Latest release from these guys, which sadly also looks like to be their last. Real shame for me best tunes I've heard so far from them. Anyway so these were a four piece from Milwaukee that bring the indie styled math rock come post rock tunes, tunes which also come with emo type vocals. They have put these two tracks up on bandcamp for name the price. Twenty / Twelve.
