Math Rock Bands
Math rock is a rhythmically complex guitar-based style of experimental rock that emerged in the 1980s and that was very influenced by Progressive Rock like King Crimson, Frank Zappa, Henry Cow - and 20th century composers such as Steve Reich and John Cage. It is characterized by complex, atypical rhythmic structures (including irregular stopping and starting), angular melodies, and dissonant chords.
Math rock shares its place of origin in the late 80s underground music scene of the American Midwest. Some earlier bands have characteristics of both math rock and post-rock,
using instruments for textures rather than melodies and riffs,
featuring atypical rhythms and some dissonance.
