Body Hound

Rhombus Now

Hard to pick a single track for this band as everything they've ever done has been brilliant. Body Hound are probably the most exciting band in British Math right now, especial credit must be paid to guitarist Calvin Rhodes; one of the most interesting and talented guitarists we have ever heard. Must be seen to be believed.

Town Portal

Bonus Trigger

Town Portal are a heavy, complex Danish Math band. Their unique edge comes from their bass driven riffs and tasteful time signatures. Incredibly loud for a three piece and very good at keeping a composition interesting with ever shifting moods and textures.

Alpha Male Tea Party

You Eat Houmous, Of Course You Listen To Genesis

Probably the most popular underground Math band in the UK at the moment. AMTP represent everything UK Math has come to be about; big fat riffs, shifting time signatures, a playful jovial feel, ridiculous track names and really really sweaty live performances.

Sea Monkey See

Boy Genius

These guys are the only US Math band in our list. There are always slight shifts in Math style between UK, Euro and US bands. US Math tends to be more rooted in punk than it's counterparts. Sea Monkey See are the perfect balance of raucous and complex with a great focus on the atonal.

Kamikaze Scotsman

Chapter II

Despite the name these guys in fact come from Budapest, and have a really interesting and unique take on prog; a three piece of drums, bass and organs. Their instrumental sections and lengthy organ/synth solos are brilliantly atonal and completely mesmerising. They've made us really want organs on our next record.

Mutiny On The Bounty

North Korea

MOB have their very own take on Math. They started life as something of a blend between Hardcore and Math, but after deciding against vocals for their second album they became firmly rooted as one of the best European Math bands around. Their two guitarists intricately weave in and out of one another with clever little pitch shifts and delay loops whilst their bass guitar operates almost as the rhythm guitar for the band. A thunderously heavy and incredibly talented Luxembourg favourite.

Lost In The Riots

Hey, Deathwish

LITR are more traditional than most bands in this list, kind of a Math origins band. Math has moved in a different direction since they started playing, so much so that they're almost not a Math band anymore, more traditionally instrumental, but they're songs are well crafted, fast paced and pure unadulterated party music.

Quadrupede

ÅSTRØ

This French two piece are probably the most palatable band in our list. Carefully crafted, dynamic guitar driven Electro-Math. These guys are studio perfect live, we've had the pleasure of both playing with them and seeing them dumbfound a crowd at Bristol's legendary ArcTanGent Festival.

DKH

The Devil's Dyke

A brilliantly aggressive and creative band. These guys have absolutely no boundaries and create some of the most interesting atonal soundscapes around. Thoroughly bonkers live performances and one of the best hardcore vocals in underground music.

The Broken Oak Duet

Roger the Optometrist

2 talented musicians playing, at times complicated parts. Never forgetting to get a memorable massive riff/hook into each song.
