One of the bands that has been really pounding my eardrums of late, in a good way, is 65daysofstatic. The music could easily fall into a “post-rock” category but its easier for me just to call it instrumental rock. The bands current album, “One Time For All Time”, is already old news across the pond actually. It was released in the UK all the way back in 2005 but it took more than a year to get it to US shores. Release in Oct of 2006, im admittedly a late comer to these guys but I think the “better late than never” tag applies here for sure.

Instrumental/Post Rock is usually not my thing though, while I enjoy a track on occasion from bands like Godspeed You! and Tortoise, I usually have a short attention span and one song can meld into the other without me knowing. But with the recent arrival of bands like The Big Sleep, Russian Circles out of Chicago and these guys, things may be changing for me.

Check out the two tracks below, both of which build into absolute face-melters. Also a couple bonus tracks from earlier releases.

The band will also be making some appearances at the SXSW festival this year in Austin.
