I really enjoy the more "heavy" post-rock band, but I can't seem to get into this genre. So far all the bands I've listened to sound more or less same.

Oh and btw considering all the scene kids has tagged all their beloved screamo with post-hardcore, they're now starting to tag their bands as post-metal to make them seem different from the general bullshit. Which it aint. I mean wtf, dead by april being post-metal? It'll be post metal the day I can shit myself rich.
