I'd never heard of Forever Came Calling, but I like. The Wonder Years I like even more. I so rarely listen to punk or pop punk these days and there's no good reason for that. I do appreciate it. Makes for great gigs too. Really high energy.
I've not got into post-rock yet, although some of the bands I like were described as post-rock (Stereolab, especially, and Laika who I didn't really like as much - bought the album because of the Soviet cosmodog, Cul de Sac, and Mogwai). I keep meaning to give it more of a listen.
I'd never heard of Animals as Leaders but I love this track. I have no idea what genre that is (like you say). It's definitely prog but it seems be all kinds of other things as well. Hmm, thank you!
I'm really, really into pop punk. I think The Wonder Years are amongst my favourite bands ever. I saw them play in Nottingham, UK last year and they were fantastic fun. I probably prefer Less Than Jake (who I've also seen play live) slightly more, but they're hardly obscure enough for me to list them :) Pop punk is far too under-rated when it comes to having meaningful lyrics. I keep delving deeper and deeper into it, and it's easy to find great bands that aren't very popular at all, like Forever Came Calling.
Aye, post-rock is something I've not been into very long at all even though it's a sort of music I do very much like. I can hardly name any post-rock bands, but I should check out Stereolab :)
I love Animals As Leaders because their lead guitarist, Tosin Abasi, is a massive inspiration to me to learn music. Their music itself is very progressive and unique and innovative and every song is distinct despite not having vocals.
Also, if I may add another horribly obscure song and band: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMIHSuKmGKA The Mountain Goats. There is no studio-recorded version of this track as far as I know, but to me it's ridiculous good.
Is it normal to want to share obscure music with Is it normal users?

Oh God... did I really just say "Nottingham, UK"?! Such an Americanism... I must have been so tired when I wrote this! :P
