I'll admit that I am a little biased on this one. I know these guys personally from my college days in Chicago. Fortunately for you, they are more than just nice guys. Melding post-metal, instrumental post-rock, noise-rock, and indie; A!A!A! are accomplished songwriters. Their style can be similar to other Chicago acts like Russian Circles, but I find the guitar parts on these songs to be far more memorable and emotive. I challenge you to listen to "We Set Tokyo Ablaze" without reaching some sort of feeling. This album, my favorite, is available on bandcamp as a pay-what-you-want. The band is now defunct, but with them starting families, your contributions are always appreciated.
