post rock

Post rock is a genre of rock music coined by British music Simon Reynold as "using rock instrumentation for non-rock purposes, using guitars as facilitators of timbres and textures rather than riffs and powerchords." Post Rock will often times be built like classical music with different movements and emphasis on musical composition and dynamic movements. Common instruments used by post rock bands are guitars and basses as well as drums, auxillary percussion, string instruments, pianos, and even bagpipes and the occasional tape loop run through the record.

Two Rocks

Small West Australian town named after.. two big rocks. It is mainly populated by crayfishermen, hippies and alcholics/drug addicts. Most families are inter-related. It is quite picturesque, however it smells like seaweed and the isolation/inbreeding makes people crazy.
