Summary

If the term “post-rock” wasn’t already taken, it would be a perfect descriptor for the fractured, future-warped music of Polyphia , a largely instrumental foursome who take virtuosic guitar music into places that would melt older shredders’ minds. Even as fleet-fingered guitarists Tim Henson and Scott LePage keep pushing guitar technique forward, they’ve evinced minimal interest in carrying on any rock lineage, and are instead obsessed with bringing influences from pop, EDM, hip-hop, and video-game soundtracks into a ferocious live-band context.
