Maritime post rock

That's the genre that came up when I put 'the Dirty Three' onto my HD.
(The Dirty Three are a 3 piece without a singer. Just violin, guitar and (jazz)drumming).

Anyone know of any other bands that come under this genre?

Also, anyone know of any other 'speicialized genres' like that one?

Looked them up and they are extremely talented, thanks.

I won't categorize the whole band's collection, but from the songs that caught
my ear it sounds like they were partly influenced by old country Irish and
Welsh/English ballads. They slowed them down plenty, but the original old school
progressions are still there.

Quoted from Wiki.

"The Dirty Three's sound is distinctive, composed of folk melody, rock energy,
elements of classical, chamber music, jazz and blues, Celtic, and other European
folk styles - a diverse collection of influences, though the style of music the trio
play is uniquely their own, born from years of musical experience."

edits: sorry I didn't answer your questions.

Very good live too. I've had the pleasure of seeing them inside and outside. When they played outside the wind was knocking over the cymbols and mike stands quicker than the lone roadie could pick them up, meanwhile Kim Salmon (of the Scientists and Kim Salmon and the Surrealists), who was doing some vocals , was climbing a lighting rig with the mike in his mouth. All through this the Dirty 3 didn't skip a beat . even the drummer who always happened to find something to hit when his highhat wasn't there.lol

That "genre" name sounds like gibberish, but The Dirty Three are pretty good.

Check out their In the Fishtank collaboration with Low...

So where does the title come from? How do these genres appear under my albums that I buy?

Another fine band (Low). Perhaps a bit of "Maritime post rock" there ,eh? 🙂

The cover of Down by the River on that album is simply breathtaking.

Someone makes it up for a laugh.

Just stuff that people make up.

Well I want to call my music something like that. Who wants to be lumped in with "punk" ? 😛😀😀

I wouldn't want to be labeled 'post rock' even with any other nice adjectives thrown in.

But maritime music is very real, in a geographical sense though.

And everyone knows this song, The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

That's way over-played. I want to hear an old England country song written about the Titanic.
