It's not a very nice term, but dorkcore is probably the best description for Genghis Tron's jawdropping amalgamation of programmed beats, eerie samples, math-metal rhythms and damaged, world-on-fire vocals. Check out our review of the band's 2008 album, Board Up the House, which, last year, we ranked the third best record you might not have heard. And for those of you who like to live on the outer fringes, Genghis Tron have released five Board Up the House remix EPs, each of which features other artists reinterpreting their songs.
Our friends at MetalInjection.net have just posted three cool live videos from a recent New York show that prove Genghis Tron are just as inspiring live as in the studio. Click "more" to see the vids. And after their next show, don't be afraid to walk up to them. They may be music dweebs, but they're totally nice guys. And they might just help you with your math homework.
