These guys are from NYC and play what could be called (and is by some) "math rock". It's complex time signature, off beats, etc. It's really more "musician" (my word) type music because it's not really all that easy to dance to. I'm not saying people who aren't musicians wouldn't enjoy it just that chances are greater that you'll appreciate these guys if A)you're a musician B)you like things like yes, tool, king crimson and so on and so forth.
