For start, the finnish Magyar Posse. Imagine GSYBE and 70s prog rock combined. then add some humor and some optimism. and you still have no idea about what they sound like. Their best album is Kings of Time, so that should be the first to check out.
Another good band is Boris. i bet they're not unknown in the metal world, but their post-rock side pretty much is. Flood is so good it sometimes makes the guys from GSYBE run for their money.
The 3rd amazing band is MONO. another japanese act, with a more sweeter sound. they have only one album out.

I'm excited, I'm planning on seeing Explosions in the Sky and Lichens tomorrow with a few of my friends. Should be a great show.

If anyone is interested, Russian Circles released their second full length 'Station' yesterday May 6th. From the few songs I've heard it's similar to their debut except seems to have a little "harder" edge. They're touring this summer near hear but are playing at The Riot Room which for some lame reason is 21+ only. (Which is where the KC Power Metal Fest is this summer! Fuck!)

Written by Guest on 14.03.2008 at 18:18 just wanted to mention these guys, as they're indeed amazing. they have only one album out yet, but 4 songs from it are streamable via Last.FM. everyone interested in post-rock should know them tbh.

Dirty Three are the latest I've heard. Pretty good staff. Tortoise are my masters of POST-ROCK.

Don't think anyone has mentioned sleepmakeswaves yet. I think you can download their demo and EP from their myspace.

Written by Eternal Flames on 29.11.2009 at 09:03 Sounds pretty good, I'll check out the rest. A couple of bands I don't think have been mentioned- Jakob - Their album "Solace" is definitely worth listening. Tunturia - From the album "Maps" -

If These Trees Could Talk are good, but they sound like a weaker version of Pelican tbh. Nothing they've made has sounded fresher or more original than Pelican, but they're still good.

We should add Sgt. and The Shy Trafficker to the list, both bands combine Post-Rock with jazzy influences. Edit: Also Líam and pg.lost are worth listening.

I'd recommend Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Mogwai, other than the afro-mentioned Mono and Sigur Ros. My favorite by a wide margin is Mono, their latest album Hymn to the Immortal Wind is plain beautiful.

I think GY!BE, Mogwai, Mono and Sigur Rós had been mentioned already, anyways, another band I could think of, and I've been into lately is Eksi Ekso, is a post-rock band with vocals.

Have you guys ever listened to Kyte? It's not purely Post-Rock, but I'd recommend it to fans of the genre, specially those who like Sigur Rós.

Written by Elio on 03.05.2010 at 17:27 Got it in the mail the other day and heard it twice so far. More electronic, but still amazing music. EDIT: For post-rock music, check this site out- http://lostchildrennetlabel.wordpress.com/ They release music for free, and have some great stuff on here. I recommend This is My Normal State, Final Light, Loss of a Child, From the Sky, wecollectskies, I Am the Architect and Noise Room. Also, the before-mentioned sleepmakeswaves has 2 release available as well. It's all free, so check it out.

Ok, so I've found two of the best post-rock bands imo. Pg.lost Immanu El So they are both great, amazing, etc. Try listening to a few songs, Pg.lost is instrumental, Immanu El has some very nice vocals. Both very soothing yet bombastic.

Discovered the genre in 2008 by watching a show of Pelican and Torche playing in a local club. I have to admit that I don't listen to these two bands very much, because I discovered so many other bands in that genre that I prefer. My fav. will be Long Distance Calling (a band from my hometown) along with Caspian (seen them live twice) God Is An Astronaut (love the new album) This Will Destroy You Les Discrets and many others It's hard to always tell which Genre exactly those bands are some are post-rock while others are counted as post-metal (Isis, tho they might be clear), shoegazing, ambient, post-black-metal, post-hardcore... there are countless hybrid forms.
