Yes, that's a brand new subgenre coinage! Actually, if you look at my iTunes, the genre for this is "no wave," but only because it's noisy and I haven't found enough post-emo bands yet to warrant an entire iTunes genre category. Basically, if you stripped the noise and effects away from these Crooklyn cats, you'd be left with Saves The Day, albeit with some slightly Mars Volta-esque lyrics: the chorus to this tune is "Corroded old impatient wire wait to die this cold disposed of makeshift child has expired;" you can still feel the emo sentiment in the surrealism, though. Don't strip the noise and effects away though, because they're fucking awesome (and who wants to listen to Saves The Day, anyway, short of a nostalgic trip?). On this tune, for instance, the chorus is sung through a crappy walkie-talkie, with the effects board AC adaptors used to pick up the signal. That's some genius electronics.
