im mostly familiar with patagonian rats, but i do have the drugs ep. guess i never gave that one enough of a chance to realize it was all instrumental.

 

You are missing out, my friend.  Such an amazing EP and definitely my favorite release by them.  Their first album (untitled) is really great as well, and a different style altogether as they had a second guitarist.  That was also when they were doing backflips and cartwheels on stage during their live show

A lot of people argue that they were much better as an instrumental band

They aren't purely instrumental but Rosetta deserves a mention. I remember going like 35 mph on my bike on the backroads to this lol

I was talking to tera and bryan of End Of the Ocean tonight. Talking about pressing their latest album on vinyl, I know there is a few fans on here. They're just concerned about funds, I'd be down to do it. Any interest on here if it happens?

Since it's more EP than LP, if it's under $15 I'd def eat that up.

RIYL: These Arms Are Snakes, Battles

 

Bearcubbin' is Mike Byrne (current smashing pumpkins drummer)'s band from his hometown. when SP has downtime, they record and do mini-tours. He's an insane drummer. The music is real mathy and I feel like a lot of people here would be into it. They've said their biggest influence is These Arms Are Snakes and the like.

 

Also, I believe all their releases are available for "pay what you want", even free.

Pre-Mr. Beast Mogwai

 

They're all over, but really every album has vocals on it except for the THIH. They're mostly instrumental except for a couple songs on the first two albums, Young Team and Come On Die Young. Then Rock Action and then Happy Songs and then Mr. Beast had even more with vocals. Hardcore Will Never Die has vocals too; 'Mexican Grand Prix'. The Hawk Is Howling is their only purely instrumental album
