[lbo-talk] the band "Battles" in the New York Times

[MICHAEL YATES]

Chekc out the review of the band "Battles" in the Arts section of today's 
New York Times 
(http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/05/arts/music/05bowe.html?_r=1&ref=music&oref=slogin). 

  One of the band's members is Ian Williams, who I sometimes babysat when he 
was an infant.  His dad, who died the year I retired, was my best friend.  
His sister Alison is my god daughter.

The band is a proponent of math rock.  Can anyone help me understand this?
