Let's do this after your compilation.

And GSYBE have more in common with (as I hear it at least) Bartok string quartet pieces than a rock group. So, um... contemporary classical. The focus on dynamics sets them a bit apart from everything else (what do you people call mogwai, post rock?) but the basis behind the music still reminds me of some con. classical composers like Philip Glass.
