Promethean - Snow and Bodies

Right some pretty cool mathy progressive tunes here, with the odd post rock sprinklings. So these are a three piece (bassist for tour and sessions) from Richmond VA, liking this release heavier than your average math rock but not loosing the intricate nature or clouding the sound.. This was released back in April this year and is up on the bandcamp for name your price. Snow And Bodies.

Camafeo - Onyria

This band come from Argentina, the music they play is progressive rock mixed in with a fair amount of hardcore. The only downside to this record to me is the extensive interludes, there are too many, however when they are on track they are very good, dark, twisting, intricate, melodic and chaotic. Anyways fifteen tracks for name your price on bandcamp, gotta be worth a look right? Onyria.

BBAATBIFFFS - Drink Fight Drive

A two piece consisting of bass and drums from Chicago. What I hear here is math rock meets noise rock and hardcore, you could probably apply more tags such as metal or grindcore if you wanted.. Doesn't matter I guess, what does is that these guys rock and that they do. The pair dropped this on bandcamp yesterday for the price you wanna pay, oh yay. Drink Fight Drive.

New Lands - Space Camp

New Orleans based math rock come punk four piece. This manages to be punky, energetic and melodic, and is quite impressive considering that it was recorded live.. So this was released yesterday and they have it up on the bandcamp for all out free, whilst your there you should probably also check out their two track demo from earlier on in the year, A Woman Once A Bird, all good stuff. Space Camp.

The Zero Years - March 98th, 301

Math rock trio that come from Chicago.  This Ep is the first release from this lot and is a very solid first effort that is beautifully melodic, and catchy for instrumental math, a very enjoyable four songs. Anyway it's up on bandcamp for name the price, really worth checking out. March 98th, 301.

Fearless Leader - Fearless Leader

Enjoying the scatty feel to this record.. Um yeah band based in Seattle I think, play progressive/math rock styled post hardcore. Quite a DIY recording sound to this I must say, but maybe that adds to the scatty and rawness of it. Anyways up for name your price over on bandcamp. Fearless Leader.

Putiferio - LovLovLov

Right so got into these guys through the awesome math centred blog that is Plenty of Swords, which if you like math rock and associated music you should definitely go check it out you will struggle to find a better source of it.

Great little album here, dark sounding, energetic and with a good level of intricacy. Do go check them out, plus this up for free on bandcamp so no reason not too I guess.. LovLovLov.

Quadrilles - Inuit EP

So here we have a London based four piece that play the math rock with the pop sense for writing catchy songs, you will hear elements of post rock in there too (the interesting type). They released their latest effort, Inuit back in August this year and have it up on bandcamp for name your price, and is very much worth the little trip over there for a check out.

On a side note I hear these guys are interested in playing up in Leeds, and checking out the math seen up there, so maybe if you're from Leeds or nearby go show them some love on facebook or something, get them playing your ways.

Wrestling - For You, Anything.

UK band, think mathed up punk with emo styled vocals. This isn't released until early November, but is already up to stream on bandcamp. Roll on November I say, can't find out much on these but I'm hoping the three tracks they have up are just a taster for November, might just be getting my hopes up though.. For You, Anything.

Astolfo Sulla Luna - Cancroregina

Italian band that make a nice mix of post rock with noise rock, with the occasional splash of mathy elements, cool stuff. Second ep by these lot released back in September and up for free on the bandcamp, you can also grab the first ep by these there for free too. Cancroregina.

Lopaka - Belafonte and There's No DSL In Hell

Australian trio here, based in Melbourne. Think progressive rock with strong math rock leanings and noise rock elements. Now these guys first release back in April is pretty darn good, recording values could be better, but it is up for name the price, and is well worth the trip to bandcamp to grab. Now their latest effort from August is just really, really good. Pretty much a staggering improvement in a tiny space of time. Now its not up for free but they ain't asking a lot for it and it is worth it i'd say, but don't take my word for it go have a listen. Belafonte, There's No DSL In Hell.

Crustaceanation - Force Feeding A Preschooler An Ounce Of Shrooms and Fucking Him To Death With A Dull Chef's Knife

Ok so been a bit slack with posting the last few days.. So think this band has some potential to be pretty sweet by the sound of this three track ep. These guys mix up the math with elements of progressive metal type stuff. Basically good tunes, could do with some higher production values, more thought out song structures maybe, but are brimming with good ideas and rock in many places.. So can't find out too much about these apart from they're from Lincoln and that they dropped this in April. Really looking forward to hearing where their sound ends up after this. This is up for totally free on bandcamp.

Tuna - Tuna EP

Two piece math rock from Portland, slightly different than a lot of two pieces in as much as they have gone for the more progressive style rock out as opposed to the super mad in your face type madness if you get me? Don't get me wrong though, still some pretty intricate sweet mathy goodness they just leave some space in there. Think more like a two piece of slowed Tera Melos esc (earlier sounds) over Hella esc jams.. Basically good tunes to be checked out, and is up on bandcamp name your price. Tuna Ep.
