Angine de Poitrine

Hostie, dat's some sweete Québécois accent, la.

T shirt, rockness, and guitars were pretty alright as well

I finally watched them a bit last night after seeing their stuff popping up everywhere for the last month or so.

It's....fine, I guess? The music is enjoyable enough, inoffensive at worst...kind of repetitive (or "taking too long to get where it's going") but they have a nice groove.

As others have said though I suspect the costume/aesthetic gimmick is doing a lot of the heavy lifting here. Odds are nobody gives the music a second glance if it's just two guys in regular street clothes playing the same stuff...

But it is what it is. Plenty of acts have relied on showmanship and vibes and gimmickry and whatnot to allow themselves to stand out. If nothing else I can applaud them for not doing the same thing as everyone else

The youtube algo was serving this to me too. I appreciate the costume gimmick. It's weird and it's obviously got people talking. Cutting through noise to do music promotion is next to impossible so even if it puts some off, it's probably worth doing for them. Musically, the drummer seems to be doing a lot of heavy lifting making everything even remotely palatable. I thought the guitar was obnoxious and the microtonal scale didn't really add much. It kind of sounded like out of tune pop riffing (maybe that's the point?). I really like when microtonal riffing is used to add over-the-top dissonance and tension (example) .

I love it. They're weird, the music grooves and it passes the time without me wanting to skip tracks.

I need to start a microtonal math rock band that sings about cryptids and paranormal things.

I think the discussion about the unmasking of Banksy is interesting. Does it influence the value of his work.

Monetarily, absolutely. Culturally, is yet to be seen.

I'm digging the weirdness and the skill, although it can get a bit repetitive at times. If they ever make it to So Cal, I'd pay to see 'em.

Math rock is not for me. I was not great at maths - 0k, but not great. If it was trigonometry rock then I'd probably be good. For whatever reason I found geometry and trigonometry a piece of cake. Has anyone heard of trig-rock?

 

[Einzeln]

I guess you mean 3/4 and 6/8, 12/8?
Which rock is best for rolling?

 

[Chuck D. Bones]

and 12/13

 

[Paradox916]

My 7 yo who is a connoisseur or weird shit and will watch videos like “ the evolution of Sonic drowning.” On a loop if I let her.. told me to turn it off after about 5 seconds… so if you want an unbiased opinion, there you go.

If it was trigonometry rock then I'd probably be good. For whatever reason I found geometry and trigonometry a piece of cake.

It uses its own set of chords.
