so i really didn't do much at all this weekend. friday night, i had a make-up algebra test since the average the first time was somewhere around 30%. the rest of the weekend was basically spent trying to find new music. if you're anything like me, you'd agree that one of the coolest things is discovering a new band that you'll end up following until they break up. i'm not sure how many of the following bands i'll keep up with till then but these are some of the bands/artists i found out about this weekend, most of which are post-rock/instrumental...
Moving Mountains (really spacey/atmospheric with occasional horns and vocals)
September Malevolence (been described as the Swedish Explosions in the Sky)
El Ten Eleven (don't know what to say except this band is two guys making the music it would usually take 4-5 guys to make)
Yndi Halda (their name translates to "enjoy eternal bliss" which i think describes their music quite well)
Josh Moore (plays guitar and sings in Classic Case/ex-singer/guitarist in Beloved. nice rock/folk feel)
check any or all of them out. the first four may be your new studying soundtrack.
