I think this band deserves a thread. Really digging their new s/t album. The band basically makes math-inspired party jams. I think this review at I Guess I'm Floating describes it well:

...there's something about Fang Island that unanimously bridges the gap between my past and my present. It combines pop-punk's uplifting energy and grindcore's chaotic swells with the progressive noodling of math rock and anthemic chants of Animal Collective. I've never really heard anything like Fang Island before... needless to say it's absurdly exciting.

I've been enjoying it as well. Their guitarist used to be in Daughters.

There's something sickly sweet about their sound that is immediately appealing. It's like Dragonforce got lazy and decided to be more like The Polyphonic Spree. And I don't much like either of those bands.
