If SGM were as concerned with what genre they fit into as everybody here commenting, you wouldn't have such a great song to listen to whilst ranting away. ;)
People shouldn't concern themselves with genres. You either like it or not, doesn't need a label. But for those who must know, SGM is categorized as Avant-Garde Metal, which takes root in bands such as Mr.Bungle for instance.
@MrSafetymeeting Exactly. It's blatantly obvious when you listen to it that they weren't aiming for any specific style. They make music, and they make it well
why call this metal? it has nothing to do with it. This is clearly Experimental/Progressive, a lot in the world of King Crimson as it's been already said. And by the way, this is the very favorite Tony Levin's band (K.C. stick/bass player).
@dstrong2424 I know you wrote this a while ago, and I'm sure it was just a typo, but I feel I have to correct your spelling. King Crimson. I agree with your opinion on the matter, though.
it's true, they're so social towards the audience ... we've seen them in Belgium and the Netherlands and every time they just walked off stage after the gig and started chatting to the people ... Really nice and open folks, love them ! Can't wait to hear the new album, any news ????
This music, to my ear, is as close to perfection as anything I've ever heard. The technique is there, the tone, the timing, the emotion, the creativity,.......It's all in there.
Matthias Bossi is an incredible drummer, and a vary interesting person.
i've seen this band several times now. i've gotten to meet and speak with each member on a personal level; at the last show i saw, my friends and i got to split a pizza with them before the show at the magic bag in detroit. each one of them is incredibly cool and kind. good times are had with these guys.
Thanks for Sledgehammer dulcimer, I am having a great time listening to it. Another fan exists in musical harmony is found with the sound coming up from the ground and all around are speakers that have their own sound,
You never heard their album version songs right? and you don't know what aesthetic means... maybe im wrong... and you dont have good musical taste, lol
I guess so, to be honest there's definitely more great acts to be discovered coming from Oakland. And, yes, for the last time, Fishtank is not the same as Fishtank Ensemble at all--I know now.
Best band EVER
