Screamo

[Williamn]

Hey

Thought it would be interesting to have a thread about screamo ( skram).. the original kind, not to be confused with the more mainstream tag.

Anyone else into this kind of music ?
Would love to get some recommendations for new bands to check out, so please post your favorite songs if you can

for those who don't know the genre screamo.. here is some videos to check out, but I have a feeling a lot people will not like it.

Battle of Wolf 359 has been getting a lot of rotation for me. They have more of a dark hardcore/crust vibe going on, but still something you may like.

Some other new recommendations, if you haven't heard: Maths, Plebeian Grandstand, Loma Prieta.

I don't know if I would listen to this at home or anything, but I can definitely hear the emotion/vibe to the music, something that's missing in a lot of music nowadays.

I used to be into this stuff when I was younger and angstier... Circle Takes The Square, Pg. 99, Saetia, Hot Cross, Raein, Amanda Woodward, Yaphet Kotto, etc.... I still like some of it a little bit, but I kinda grew out of it when I started getting more interested in techy guitar music and less interested in the whole DIY/punk thing... Circle Takes The Square features some of my favorite lyrics ever though...

I definitely like some genuine screamo, stuff actually from the genre.
I used to hate it purely because of the name, but I actually took the time to listen to some stuff in the genre and some of it is pretty damn creative and interesting stuff.
I hate it when people just tag anything with screaming as "screamo", since most people don't really understand what the genre is and what it's about.
Seems a lot of post 2000 screamo is quite influenced by post-hardcore and bands like Circle Takes the Square definitely have that post-hardcore edge and also veer off into prog rock territory at times.

A recommendation:



Really love this band, they're French. All their music is available for free, legal downloading, so definitely grab it!

kind of reminds me of this band. I don't know if guys categorize it into "screamo" though.
