Screamo

[MattDead]

no, I'm not talking about what you have been hearing on MTV (Thursday, Hawthorne Heights, etc.), I'm talking about TRUE screamo bands like Orchid, Saetia, Hot Cross, The Saddest Landscape, Ampere, Pg. 99, Cobra Kai, City of Caterpillar, Circle Takes The Square, 400 Years, Indian Summer, and stuff like that..


Anyone listen to that kind of stuff?

[w/o horse]

It's funny that the list seems time locked, or at least that that is the list I would have made a few years back.  Except Hot Cross, which is from the ashes of Saetia, right?  If so that reminds me that I need to get that album, as Saetia is the only band on the list that I actively listen to, although this topic has given me a hankering for some Orchid.

[MattDead]

hahah!  Its true!  It is very time locked.

Some guys from Pg. 99 and CoC did Malady earlier this year, but that is even defunct.   The Saddest Landscape only cany out in 2001 so they are still around and making records, as is Circle Takes The Square.

But it's still Screamo...

I would prefer it over what's on MTV, but a lot of it carries many similarities... which I expect in a genre, but it grows a little weak for me.  

However, Screamo shows are usually pretty energetic, which I enjoy quite a bit.

[MattDead]

Yes, there is a lot of stigma attached to the word "screamo", but its basically melodic hardcore with screaming the whole time.   All other could be considered Pop/Rock      ...screamo could also be considered post-hardcore

This phaze will pass.

I must say I am not interested in music labeled screamo. I bet I like bands that are "screamo" but I don't give a shit.

Screamo is stupid.

[MattDead]

this "phaze" you speak of has been around since '91.

[Stefen]

Werd. Screamo.

[Myxo]

Hardcore melodic metal you can commit suicide to.

[MattDead]

Metal?


I think not.

[RegularKarate]

why would anyone use the word "Screamo" to describe anything they like?  

If I loved a Fugazi rippoff band and wanted other people to like it, I wouldn't call it something dumb like "HushPuppy" or "Kissy Face music", I would just tell people "Fugazi ripoff bands are good".

there's a lots of post-hardcore bands (don't say screamo when talking about those bands.  screamo is alexisonfire, etc) out there that are amazing.

if you ever get a chance to see the holy shroud in concert, fucking run don't walk.  i saw them with hot cross last year (who sucked btw) and they blew me away.  i spoke is playing their last show in toronto on friday.

and also, these guys fall closer to the alexisonfire stylings but they are oh so fucking talented, the fall of troy.  if no other band, you have to check them out.
