About Post-Rock

Post-rock is a subgenre of rock, if the name didn't give it away. Post-rock is characterized by the influence and use of instrumental generally associated with rock, but applying rhythms and guitars as facilitators of timbre and textures not normally found in rock. The post-rock sound mixes characteristics from a variety of music genres including ambient, jazz, electronic, and experimental. Vocals are usually absent from post-rock; although, this does not necessarily mean they are missing altogether. When vocals are applied, the usage is typically non-traditional: some post-rock bands apply vocals as simply instrumentals actions and incidental to the sound, rather than a more accepted use where "clean", easily-interpretable vocals are important for poetic and lyrical meaning. When present, post-rock vocals are usually soft or droning and are typically rare or present in chaotic intervals.
Here are some bands that I really love listening to:

and lots more and they all have weird names.
