What advice do you have for aspiring musicians? I have been waiting fifteen years for this question: 1. DO NOT PLAY LONGER THAN 35 MINUTES, TOPS. Leave people wanting more not less. The first Black Sabbath record is just under 38 minutes. Are you better than that record? Nope.

Math rock done right.

The Conformists are an “experimental punk band” (according to their handwritten press kit) from across the river.

They reside in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. Stylistically, their music is heavily deconstructionist, in the same vein as U.S. Maple, Yowie (who currently shares their drummer), or even Australia’s “My Disco.” They typically employ long passages of repetition peppered with nuances, sometimes purposely making use of rhythms that make it sound as if they are skipping beats. The vocal style varies greatly, sometimes yelling, speaking regularly, singing monotone, or even whispering.   (source)
