Explosions In The Sky are an instrumental/post-rock band based in Texas that was formed in 1999. Their music deviates from the traditional rock format, forgoing any vocal parts and favoring long, melodically instrumental arrangements. Although many consider them to be a post-rock band, the band itself shies away from accepting that categorization.
Quotes
"...I think we discussed singing for half a second, and then it just kinda, we just dropped it. We just didn't go back to it because we were comfortable enough." -Guitarist Munaf Rayani
"And I think we just liked the idea of a band that there was not a leader or main songwriter, everyone collaborating and has their own say." -Drummer Chris Hrasky
