Explosions in the Sky es una banda de post-rock formada en Texas, EUA. Sus miembros son Munaf Rayani (guitarra), Mark Smith (guitarra), Michael James (bajo) y Chris Hrasky (batería). Fue formado en Austin, en 1999, labrándose una reputación en locales de poco aforo. La banda fichó por Temporary Residence Limited, quienes los contrataron solamente habiendo escuchado la mitad de su demo.
Rápidamente ganaron reputación por méritos propios entre otras bandas locales como Lift To Experience. Llegaron a los medios de comunicación por su segundo albúm «Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever» debido a los rumores que los vinculaban con los ataques terroristas del 11 de septiembre de 2001, pues este álbum contiene la imagen de un avión y la frase «este avión se estrellará mañana». Erróneamente se cree que el álbum salió el 10 de septiempre de 2001, cuando realmente salió en agosto de ese mismo año y la portada se creó en el año 2000.
