Q And Not U

Q And Not U were a three-piece (originally a four-piece) post-hardcore band from Washington, DC that formed in 1998 and broke up in 2005. They released all their material through Dischord Records, and are one of many amazing bands on their roster. Their debut LP, No Kill No Beep Beep is an absolute classic, and their only release as a four-piece. The band plays these off-kilter, dissonant rhythms, with strong melodic vocals and oddly dance-able beats. It's a very unique, jagged sound, that kisses distinctly Q And Not U. They released two follow-ups as a three-piece (two guitarists, no bassist) that continued down the dance-post-punk goodness. Essential post-hardcore right here, enjoy.
