Post-rock songs are often long and usually instrumental. I\u2019ve found that listening to post-rock is incredible for almost any occasion. For studying or sleeping, it\u2019s relaxing and peaceful. Some of the most notable post-rock artists are Explosions in the Sky, God is an Astronaut, This Will Destroy You and Mogwai. Many post-rock artists also score films. Whether it\u2019s studying, driving, sleeping or hanging out with friends, post-rock is always a great genre to listen to.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRogue One: A Star Wars Story\u201d released in December. I enjoyed the movie a lot. The film itself has some negatives, especially in the first hour but, overall, \u201cRogue One\u201d proves to be a worthy addition to the franchise. The third act of the film is one of the most tense and action packed in all of \u201cStar Wars.\u201d \u201cRogue One\u201d has characters from both the original trilogy and the prequels and serves as an good precursor to \u201cA New Hope.\u201d While nowhere near perfect, \u201cRogue One\u201d is a must see for anyone remotely interested in \u201cStar Wars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Contact the author at anewton15@mail.wou.edu<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Ashton Newton Entertainment Editor Post-rock is a subgenre of rock characterized by it experimentation with standard rock instruments.
