Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly: Difference between revisions

** ''America'' had the band playing rock, bluegrass, surf rock, country, jazz, Latino rock, Hawaiian, blues... one gets the impression they were trying to cover every single genre that could be considered uniquely American.

** ''Space, Love, & Bullfighting'' was a mix of space-rock and Latin music.

** And Woven Hand, one of the spin-off bands, adds Medieval and Native American influences to the mix.

* [[Xera]] is Asturian folk (think Celtic music and you won't be too far off) mixed with techno.

** Useless trivia fact: Primus are the only band to have a genre in Winamp's drop down list named after them.

*** The programmer for that menu justified the band's inclusion as a genre into themselves by saying:

* Les Claypool's (bassist and vocalist of Primus) solo career is made of this trope. Only weirder.

* The band [http://www.myspace.com/subcitydwellers Sub City Dwellers] refer to themselves as "Ska Soul Reggae Rock 'n' Roll". They are also well known and loved in the Winnipeg Punk Scene.

* Canadian band Enter The Haggis combines traditional Celtic music with rock, pop and jazz influences. The band includes a full-time bagpiper.

* Another Canadian band, going by the name Unexpect, is a great example of this trope. Here's what [[The Other Wiki]] has to say about them:

** Although the band perfers to just be called a "metal" band. They, like a few other bands these days, can't understand the bizzare genres like "New-Wave of American Psychedelic Rap Metal".

* The debate rages on to this day as to what exact genre you can call [[Children of Bodom]]. Considering they've done covers of songs by Britney Spears and Kenny Rodgers, you can see their influences are far and wide.

* Although commonly associated with [[Progressive Rock]], influential Canadian band [[Rush]] has seen considerable variation in their sound. Starting out as a straightforward Hard Rock/early Heavy-Metal band, they evolved through Prog Rock and Synth Rock, while incorporating elements of Jazz, Reggae, Pop, and even Rap; before returning to their hard rock roots, including releasing an album of classic Rock covers.

* Diablo Swing Orchestra are making a name for themselves in the avant-garde metal scene by combining, of all things, swing and metal. They dislike genre classifications, but if pressed will describe their sound as "riot opera," which they feel is the best description of their sound. Let's put it this way: the band posted some details about their upcoming third album on their Facebook page, including the statement "Expect some Turkish pop mixed with black metal and Chinese boy choirs among other things." They received numerous comments about how excited people were about the album, but none expressing any disbelief at the mixture.

** Not to menton throwing in some jazz, tango and big band.
