The terms Math Rock and Post Rock do come across as being quite scary, you think Math Rock and images of Weezer fans that wear tweed, talk about algebra and wear hats inside, why do people wear hats inside? It's strange. Anyway it's not as bad as it sounds, Math Rock is, in simplier and friendlier terms, loud guitar music which changes time signature from time to time. It's noting new, especially in metal and is a constant in classical music. Same goes for Post Rock, think rock but without the chorus and lyrics and loud, very fuckin loud.
Adebisi Shank get us started early tonight, the bands are under strict orders to be finished by 10.30, which sucks, who wants to go to gigs that start at half eights? Way too early.....Anyway whatever, we're here now so stop giving out. If you ain't seen of heard of The Shank by now then you, my friend, ain't cool nor with it no-more. Adebisi Shank are the greatest Irish band working their asses off at the moment. It's been more than a couple occasions now that they've giving me temporary tinnitus but it's always worth it. But what worries me about the Shanks is will they become a favourite of the critics of the land but others will not follow. Most publications (both physical internet) are in love with them but will they go Kerbdog or Whipping Boy? I pray to holy St Lynott that they will not, this band are far too important to fail. They could well save Irish rock, make it cool again and kill off all singer-songwriters. Adebisi Shank are Ireland's most important band.
