They aren't post-rock in the slightest.

NME said that. They're even worse than Rolling Stone when it comes to actual music facts.

[neckermanncj]

okay whatever, doesn't mean i couldn't still check them out.

BUT!!!!, they are NOT Post Rock, so you cannot discuss them in here!

I've been listening to This Will Destroy You the past couple of days. I'm really liking them so far, I'm gonna try an listen to some of the other entry songs. I love how peaceful this genre is.

check out that Appleseed Cast album, they don't get enough credit for what they do. Merging indie rock with Post-Rock beautifully.

it's not all peaceful though...
