For real though... Leprous are one of the best prog/art rock bands out there right now (and probs my fav bad at the moment). I've yet to meet someone who doesn't like at least some of their stuff. But there's a first for everything sadly

[@genghislad6195]

If you don't like Leprous I don't like you

[@dfhellraiser4td]

Leprous is god tier prog.

[@frankjager1647]

The thing about Tool, for me, and many of my musician minded friends, is that they are all very unique on their respective roles. Adam Jones is a pioneer of progrock/metal guitar, and has crafted an immediately recognizable identity. I would argue the same is verfiably true for both Justin Chancellor and Danny Carrey as well. The biggest hurdle with Tool is that diehard Tool fans are typically insufferable cork sniffers, and even the members of the band typically aren't too happy to deal with it.

[@TheApsodist]

Another thing about tool is that they are so unique in their approach to songwriting and that doesn't sit with some people. Their songs don't really have melodious lines and harmonic backgrounds that follow common chord progressions, more like a droning, rhythmic kind of sound.

What do Chon actually sound like? Pure bliss. The look on your face and the "I like this" was exactly my reaction the first time I heard them. They put on an incredible show too. Highly recommend whenever that's a thing again.

[@PabloI2309]

I think that Chon most accurate description is from Uncle Judy: Chon sounds like christian Polyphia.

I feel like a more accurate description of chon is Jazz + Prog Rock. It doesn't really sound like a christian version of Polyphia

Indie rock isn't a genre. It's a category of bands either unsigned or signed to a small and independent label. The confusion comes from a flood of very similar sounding post-punk alternative rock bands in the late 1980s coinciding with a flood of small local labels and self-publishing around the same time.

[@DarkestofTimes]

Never heard of Henge before, but I like what I've heard so far. That one clip doesn't seem to be completely representative, though. Check out 'Get Outta My House'.

Recommendations in case you ever make another one: Troldhaugen Hardcore Anal Hydrogen Nuclear Power Trio

I'm surprised you don't like Leprous. I think they're easily one of the best, if not the best rock band currently.

The drummer is an absolute beast, although they focus a lot on their vocalist.
