La Dispute

About

This American post-hardcore band shares its name with a 1744 French prose comedy. The band performs in the post-hardcore genre, which is characterized by intense vocal delivery and complex instrumentation. While the original play was a work of French theatrical comedy written in prose form, the modern musical act bearing the same name operates in a completely different artistic medium. The band's choice of this historical title demonstrates an interesting intersection between classical literature and contemporary music culture.
