In Part 2 of our History Of Math Rock series, we explore the roots and development of the prog rock era in the 1970's, a movement that was essential in shaping the later math rock genre.
In this very special Focus feature, we present to you the first article on the internet devoted specifically to the history of the genre of math rock. In this first instalment we trace the first elements of math rock stemming somewhere between hardcore punk in Los Angeles, and No Wave in New York.
