Dagobah from Boston who put out an excellent s/t CD. The guitarist is now the drummer for Helms.
The
drummer is now the drummer for helms.
Dagobah were great. They were from Osterville, on Cape Cod before they moved to Boston, I saw them lots of times at shows on "the Cape".
They shared a member with Robots, who are also worth checking out, as is Helms.

Why? Is it because you thought they were not wide-reaching?
Or not good?

love table. I just never thought many people got a chance to "discover" them, since they only put out 2 7" singles, and that posthumous CD / LP. Hell, I think they played less than 15 shows total. Todd and I were toying with the idea of asking Vito and Tim to play in a band with us recently. I think Tim just moved to NY actually.
People around here are always sort of floored when I tell them that Warren Fischer used to be in a math-rock band. And that they were fucking awesome.
Talk about a 180 degree turn.

My favorites would probably be Lynx, who put out a record on Box Factory, and Early Humans, who have a handful of split 7"s and a 7-song CD available from
Wantage USA.

Maybe you should list which 20 other bands they sound like to help out the original poster and be productive.
You sure do complain a lot.

Ranx, I have absolutely no idea what math is but within your criteria of angular noise, I'd recommend early 80's post punkster pop outfit Big Flame. They released a number of cracking singles and a 10" on Ron jonson records.

Look for Wreck's Soul Train LP or Song X EP - (forget any other Wreck -ords ) big chompy fork shaped songs!

Not that obscure I guess, but i'm surprised by the lack of attention and regard for Johnboy on this board. They were true champs of the math. Both albums killed.
I used to have this okay LP by a band called Your Majesty, that was pretty obscure and you might like it if you can find it.
