Lil Wayne, Drake, Skrillex, these are just some of the artists loved by majority of the people around the world. With such musicians on the rise, REAL music is losing its meaning. Music isn't about using a beat-making software and auto tune, it is about picking up instruments and working your ass off to compose stuff which has a soul and meaning to it.
One such soulful, fascinating and a beautiful genre of music is Post Rock. I was introduced to this genre by my friend and band mate Sharan Nair. He gave me a link to a song named Snowfall by God is an Astronaut. And definitely, I was really impressed with the band's name, decided to check out the song and this is when I fell in love with Post Rock. Everything, I mean EVERYTHING about the song was perfect! It seemed like I've been shifted to some a place, guarded by peace and serenity.
As any other sub-genre of Rock, Post Rock uses common instruments like guitars and drums, but is mainly characterized as usually being without vocals. And this is what makes it more amazing. The music really touches your soul.
The Post-Rock genre really began to take shape during the late 80s and early 90s as a part of the underground and Indie scene. It has, since then, come a long way as one the most prominent sub-genres of Rock. Post Rock offers everything to its listeners -- from soothing compositions to heavy riffs combined double bass drumming.
Present popular Post Rock bands include Mogwai, Hammock, Sigur Ros, Mono, God is an Astronaut, If These Trees Could Talk, Explosions in the Sky and more. Do check out this song Thank You Space Expert by Mogwai and let the magic take over you. :)
