Hope you had a good time! To be honest, I never had a good idea of what math rock is. That band I posted is self-proclaimed as math rock so I followed their lead. This Town Needs Guns is really cool though, and math rock is a very appropriate name for it! Really busy sounds, really thought-out lines that just fit in somehow.

For anyone interested - From the math rock wiki page:

"Whereas most rock music uses a 4/4 meter (however accented or syncopated), math rock frequently uses asymmetrical time signatures such as 7/8, 11/8, or 13/8, or features constantly changing meters based on various groupings of 2 and 3. This rhythmic complexity, seen as "mathematical" in character by many listeners and critics, is what gives the genre its name."
