Neur

Neur is a post-punk/math rock band from New Brunswick, New Jersey. They formed in September 2010 and released their debut Untitled EP on December 3rd 2010.
This six-track EP can only really be described in one word: Bold. They challenge how music normally is, keeping everything fresh and unexpected. Everything about the music keeps you engaged, just guessing what might happen next. I see big things for this band in the future and I hope to hear a full length album soon. (mindequalsblown.net)
