Math-rock

Yowie

Yowie, a dual-guitar and drums trio from St. Louis, have been stunning audiences with their incomparable barrage of sonic kung fu. They accelerate the progressive-rock rhythmic sensibilities of Ruins and Magma and mutate them with the shrieker side of Big Black and Slayer. The band incorporates many variations in time signature, tempo, and tuning, to create a virtual audio maze, but no matter how complex things get, their compositions remain cohesive and compelling. After releasing their debut album Cryptooology on Skin Graft, they lost a guitarist.

Theo (UK)

Theo, the work of one Sam Knight, is one for the math rock fans. Taut, chugging guitar loops layer up with frenetic tapping patterns that interweave in spiralling complexity before near sub-atomically precise, powerhouse drumming clatters and builds each song into juggernaut of riffs and rhythms. To achieve something like this recorded is one thing, but to see Theo perform live is quite another as each song blurs into the next and the dazzling guitar and drum acrobatics leave jaws sagging on the faces of all who bear witness to the talent on offer

Common Deflection Problems

Few years in London have turned three Italian sun-struck guys into a neurotic trio, whose sound fully reflects what their lives are: sweet and sour taste, smokey jazz standards' ravings, down-tempo touches, urgent riffs, unexpected changes of mood. Pop aesthetics overthrown by angular phrases brought to obsession, and a good portion of irony meant to describe how existence can amuse and knacker out in such a small frame of time.
