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.

Joan of Arc son conocidos por su uso de electrónica, samples, y grabaciones multipista en sus canciones - algunas canciones de The Gap contenían más de 100 pistas - aunque más recientemente han estado escribiendo en términos más tradicionales.
Sos letras y tapas de discos son consideradas altamente conceptuales y confusas. Por ejemplo, el álbum Live in Chicago, 1999 no es un álbum en vivo - es una referencia al hecho de que la banda vivió en Chicago en el año 1999.
Los miembros de Joan of Arc estuvieron tambien en varias bandas, incluyendo Cap’n Jazz, Friend/Enemy, American Football, Owls, Ghosts and Vodka, Everyoned, y más recientemente Make Believe.
El cantante Tim Kinsella ha sido el único miembro permanente del grupo; y también ha grabado como solista. Otros miembros de la banda incluyen a: Sam Zurick, Mike Kinsella, Nate Kinsella, Bobby Burg, Amy Cargill, Jeremy Boyle, Ben Vida, Cale Parks, Matt Clark, Todd Mattei, etc.
