Description/Reviews: 

 The opening track ‘Melencolia I’ is a sprawling musical odyssey more than it is a song, and throughout its 14-minute duration Poly-Math weaves in and out of more influences and genres than most bands can manage to do on a 40+ minute album. Defining Melencolia to one genre is nearly impossible, and it’s more than just post-rock and while the music also contains many progressive rock elements it’s not really a prog album nor do the songs sound dated in any way. Poly-Math delivers a fresh take on mixing math-rock, post-rock, and prog and ‘Melencolia I’ sounds just as much like Battles as it does King Crimson or The Mars Volta.

Description/Reviews: 

Alpha Male Tea Party are exactly what their name implies: a macho party-riff band. One can’t be reserved or apologetic when executing these types of riffs – they’re tough, pounding, and full of force. Any wavering of conviction would be easily sniffed out by the listener. Alpha Male Tea Party are more than confident in their role as curators of machismo: they play shows in translucent jumpsuits that show off their manly underpants; they revel in tongue in cheek song titles; they cross-dress in their music videos; they’re ready to put all dignity on the line. That takes mucho gutso.
And Droids reflects this musically. The odd-metered chord progressions, reinforced with POG octaves, rusty-toned bass, and beefy double-kick percussion, are captivating enough to make you want to pound your fists and sing along but are still substantially complex for you to grapple with them.

Black Market Serotonin’s debut album Something From Nothing sounds like earthtone9, Pitchblend and Muse got sexy and had a proggy, space-rock, riff-baby and they fed him synthesisers.
