But what bands have emerged from it?

Drive Like Jehu is a band people call math rock. They're a wonderful band though.
I think the term math rock came from the fact that the bands have thechnical beats. not like most songs that just have a 4/4 beat. Also, i think it was because the songs changed alot

static-harmony · 12.07.2006, 10:54 PM

I see.

gmku · 12.07.2006, 11:30 PM

I like Drive like Jehu.

static-harmony · 12.08.2006, 12:04 AM

How about punk funkadellic?

gmku · 12.08.2006, 12:14 AM

Never heard of them.

porkmarras · 12.08.2006, 02:35 AM

Drive like Jehu math rock?Surely that's slightly wrong?

Billy Mahonie would be a more apt candidate to name just one band you'd throw into that vomitorium.

_slavo_ · 12.08.2006, 02:52 AM

Drive Like Jehu ain't no math rock.

Drill For Absentee and Rodan were math rock. And Shipping News, which is a band I got lots of love for.

porkmarras · 12.08.2006, 02:58 AM

Another band of that ilk :
Fridge

Listen to Bernard Purdie. Because all kids I consider being cool know how to swing their hips to soul and funk.

As for the math rock Static, check out Don Caballero and Weights and Measures. Another artist some consider Math Rock is Q and not U.

Other stuff to listen to:
-Cibo Matto
-Yuka Honda
-Plastic Ono Band
-Sigh
-Aki Onda
-Big Youth

Anyone into those I'd consider pretty hip. Enjoy!

math rock had some good bands. it was not a term chosen by the bands though.

polvo rule all.

metroschifter was good and had some of the angular odd tim4e signature elements
