This is a list of bands in and around the instrumental post-rock genre for everyone who wants to discover some new bands, some more, some lesser known. I am neither a musician nor a music journalist and this list merely reflects my personal taste. Go make your own if you don't like it. ;)
- Explosions in the Sky (EITS): Explosions are a great gateway drug to post rock. You can simply listen to any of their stuff and it's going to brighten your day.

- Godspeed You! Black Emperor (GY!BE): These guys sort of invented post rock. There is a lot of weird stuff on record though, but the actual music in between that weirdness
