Primary Stylistic Influences: Post-Hardcore, Noise Rock, Progressive Rock Secondary Stylistic Influences: some bands influences by Hardcore Punk, Heavy Metal and Hard Rock others influenced by melodic Indie Pop, Emo Music and Post-Punk Revival Math rock is a subgenre of alternative rock that first materialized in the early 90s, characterized by unusual time signatures, atypical rhythms (stopping and starting are common), angular melodies, and dissonance. The genre is influenced by prog rock, hardcore, jazz, and experimental composers such as Steve Reich and John Cage. It usually only features guitar, bass, and drums, with vocals not being a priority. The genre started in several different places - Chicago had Bastro and Shellac (a Steve Albini project), for example, while Pittsburgh sported Don Caballero, San Diego had Antioch Arrow and Drive Like Jehu, and Washington DC offered Shudder to Think and Jawbox. Other places had groups as well, such as Chapel Hill, North Carolina's Polvo and Louisville featured math rock/post-rock legends Slint, who released the classic album Spiderland in 1991. New York also sported math rock pioneers Chavez. Math rock is closely related to post-rock, but starting around the mid-90s and especially prevalent come the new millennium, the two genres diverged; math rock is often more punk-influenced and disjointed, whereas post-rock leans more towards fluid soundscapes. While uncommon time signatures are often a crucial part of math rock, they're not a required part of the genre. There are bands such as Minus the Bear who make music with standard time signatures, but still keep the irregular rhythms and angular guitar playing and melodies of the genre. The genre is still alive today, with bands such as Hella, Tera Melos, Giraffes? Giraffes!, Lite, Knot Feeder, Sleeping People, June of 44, Rodan, The For Carnation, and probably a million other bands offering new music. There is also a subgenre of math rock sometimes labelled as math pop; these bands take a more accessible approach to the genre, keeping its unusual time signatures and rhythms, but fusing them with more melodic songwriting, polished production, and clean vocals. These groups often draw inspiration from the arpeggiating guitar lines of midwest emo, the danceable rhythms of the 2000s Post-Punk revival, and/or the catchy songwriting of Indie Pop. A number of Japanese bands have also come out and fused this sound with J-rock. Bands labeled as math pop include TTNG, Foals, Everything Everything, Minus The Bear, and Tricot, among others. |
