is all the math pop/math rock bands with the whine-y suburban pop-punk "emo" vocals that's too prevalent with UK bands (e.g., This Town Needs Guns, Colour). Same goes for the band Moving Mountains, which has that semi post-rock sound but the vocals are equally lame.
They're not doing anything in particular that would make them amazing, with out without the vocalists, however, but they make pretty good instrumental music and would do better with someone who doesn't like a 16-year-old (or manchild) who went through their first break up.
