Spoken-word-core

Naos Theou:
MewithoutYou is the purveyor most known of this small and burgeoning style.  Has anyone else heard any other spoken-word style bands?

I'm looking for anything genre wise.  I mean if it is indie sound, post-rock sound, if it is hardcore sound (I think of Henry Rollins's musical spoken word stylings), I'll give it a shot.

I think there is a lot of potential in this style of sound, given that there are deep and vital troves to be searched in both poetry and music, and not linking the two in a hook-style formation (though I enjoy that at times as well) gives both the lyricists and musicians the opportunity for exploration.

Haven't heard any, give this a listen:

QHD:
Would Art Brut be spoken-word? He doesn't exactly sing.

trolley:
Not exactly what you're after. But "At the Bottom of Everything" by Bright Eyes has a rather pretentious spoken bit at the beginning that really builds the song up really well.

Not An Addict:
I think spoken-word-core is its own genre of music, though, not just anything spoken.

Not that I know a damn thing about it.

heretic:
i played some spoken word acoutic reggae-jam with a bud. mostly because we were going all over the place with the music (in a good way) and we had no time to catch a melody. hard to say if it was any good, fun though.
