Can someone please recommend me some screamo?

[Pluto.]

Hello everyone. My name is Lizzie. 'Tis my first time making a thread/posting :)!
I was wondering if anyone can recommend me any bands like this (Not saying all these are screamo)? Or any screamo bands you recommend.

Saetia
Hot Cross
Off Minor
Indian Summer
Converge
Angel Hair
Toru Okada
Textbook Traitors
The Promise Ring
CTTS
Portraits of Past
Boards of Canada
Slowdive
pg.99
Orchid
Anasarca <3
Sailboats
Fugazi, etc. etc.

I just feel as though there are so many other bands out there I am missing. If you name me some songs, too, bonus points. ;)

Oh golly gee, we have a few kids like this at my school. It makes me very sad :(. I think Saosin was better with eh, Anthony Green anyways. But that's between you and me.

Still active to the best of my knowledge :
Who Calls So Loud
You Tel Aviv
Alessa
Gumbi
L'Antietam (I think?)
La Quiete
Sed Non Satiata
A Fine Boat that Coffin!

Most of those are foreign, I think you are covering the vast majority of the modern american scene

Older:
Torches to Rome
Hour of the Star
Jerome's Dream
Republic of Freedom Fighters (If you like Portraits of Past, check these guys out post-haste).
Neil Perry
City of Caterpillar.

I tried to throw in some of the more obscure ones for you, rare but just as aweswsome.

[Kid B]

I thought screamo died already?
i think we all did, justin. i think we all did.

[Nevuk]

Not really.

[ThemChains]

Grade.


Most screamo bands cause this band to roll around in it's grave.

[Nevuk]

I knew I forgot one! : Don Martin Three , fire as a metaphor is amazing.

[SickOfStars]

Stuff in this genre I've been digging on lately:

Kidcrash

My Heart to Joy at the Same Tone

Capsule

Bear Garden

and also Reversal of Man and I Hate Myself, but I feel those are pretty standard and I wouldn't be showing you anything new.


Seriously though, everyone. My Heart to Joy at the Same Tone is bad ASS.

oh....you can go ahead and check out that alessa band nevuk mentioned too. haha.

Not really chaotic at all, and tons of shout along's.

No it just moved to France.

That's so odd. I added Alessa a long time ago after seeing it as a song on someones myspace. In fact my comment I left there is still there. I never knew anyone really knew who they were. That's awesome.

Torches to Rome was alright.
I liked Republic of Freedom Fighters for sure.
City of Caterpillar, definitely.
I liked Neil Perry.

Danke.

You're pulling my leg. :-(

Aerosmith is like the originaly screamo band.

Perhaps, in a way.

BEAR GARDEN! They make me like, insanely happy. Lots of bands I've noticed have bear in the title. But this is my favorite band with bear in it. :-)

I like the beginning of Thatungodlyarchvillianvoltaire (whoa, mouthful.)

Capsule 'tis gut.

[Pluto.]

I'm actually the singer. not even kidding

You're funny. I might be a noob but I'm not that dumb. I promise.

Hahaha he is the singer and former bass player. Not even joking.

[SickOfStars]

You're funny. I might be a noob but I'm not that dumb. I promise.

no, really. I'm not joking.

I go to school at UNH and come home to practice in Manchester at the Hive every weekend. We're playing a show in vermont on April 12th.

We're not a big band at all, why would this surprise you?

[Nevuk]

Oh, and if you want more bear skramz, Tunes for Bears To Dance To is rad.

[Pluto.]

Algernon Cadwallader
Suis La Lune


Algernon Cadwallader reminds me of The Summer We Went West. I like it. So far I just listened to two songs but they were good.

Eh? Well, that's a big coincidence. ..Interesting.

indeed

Well done. I'm a screamer too, and my band is going to record pretty shortly, I'll be insterested in your opinion once we do.

[SickOfStars]

Eh? Well, that's a big coincidence. ..Interesting.

yeah, check out the bands our drummer and geetar players used to be in. you'd probably really dig them

Bravo Fucking Bravo (this band was huge, you probably know them)

The Paperplane Crash

I unfortunately wasn't in anything awesome... or at all, before alessa.

[Pluto.]

no, really. I'm not joking.

I believe you.

I find it odd because, well, I listened to you guys often. And then, I join this place not too long ago. Made a thread, it was already a coincidence seeing someone post about your band, and you say you are the lead singer? It was just surprising. But cool, this isn't a normal occurrence, that's all.

HAHA. Bear skramz! I love them! Geez, I have now noticed that I listen to a lot of bands with some sort of animal in the title, or song.

Paradise is Very Nice <33.

Index for Potential suicide was alright. Meh.
Love lost but not forgotten was so so.
Yaphet Kotto is good.

Swing Kids are great.
So far, they're my favorite anyone right now has recommended me.

[Pluto.]

alexisonfire

I'm from Fairfax aswell. Interesting.

[Nevuk]

Did I say Palatka yet? Also, if you enjoy Swing Kids, a similar band is Crimson Curse.

I like Robots Make Mistakes. :-)
Cool song title also. But it's such a bummer that half of these bands have broken up, agh.
Psycho 75 is pretty good.

Thank you so very very much.

Its just something to get used to, kind of, about screamo. The best bands were together for frequently less than a year and a half, put out two obscure releases that no one likes until 7 years later. I can give you more recs, but they start moving further outside of screamo : 1905, essentially a hardcore band, Drive Like Jehu is post-hardcore, Moss Icon is an original Emo Summer band, etc. But all sort of border on the edge of screamo. 1905 is very influenced by it, DLJ influenced it greatly, as did Moss Icon.

And you're welcome. It is always fun to trade bands with someone actually interested in the genre (I've never heard of anasarca, I just realized, so I'm going to go check them out).

Yeah. But why is that? I mean, they never seem to really last all that long. There will always be that arguement whether or not screamo has died. Some bands still are together, but, do you think it has? Or will it just have to branch out? I love learning about this genre. It's so interesting.

Anasarca is good. Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt has to be my favorite they've done.

Hmm. I could see a good argument being made that pure screamo in the vein of like Heroin is pretty much dead. And former emo bands always go on to do weird things (Emo = Screamo in my eyes). Portraits of Past eventually turned into a seriesof garage rock tribute bands. That band is probably the best summation for what happens. If you've ever read their lyrics, 01010101 essentially tells the story of their disillusionment with hardcore. Reading some interviews of its members still they are very negative about the hardcore scene (Exception is the drummer, who went on to Funeral Diner, but he has stated he didn't really feel part of the rest of them). Screamo has always been one of the most progressive hardcore genres (Saetia -> Orchid -> Pg. 99 -> City of Caterpillar, all are incredibly versatile and innovative bands compared to say Bane). PoP got extremely pissed with what they perceived as the hypocrisy of the hardcore scene : The hardcore scene was essentially their "counter force", it was their way of fighting against the issues they saw within popular music and culture. However they gradually realized it had all the attributes they hated, it defined what type of music you were supposed to make, and if you were truly progressive your music went unappreciated. (This is also why PoP sounds entirely different from bands of their time, being probably the earliest "modern" screamo band). They wound up disbanding after releasing their album and going on a live tour for it, where they wound up playing at Art shows.

That's probably not the answer you were expecting haha. Palatka, an emoviolence band, broke up and then members were part of Halo Perfecto, an odd punk infused combination of almost every genre imaginable - this is likely going to be what turns out more frequently. More and more diverse combinations of genre and style will be the likely be the direction screamo heads in. Hope that answered oyu somewhat.

...Wow. This is fantastic. Why can't I meet anyone that knows this much in real life? The only conversations I can really engage in is online. Sigh, perhaps one day. I wonder what band members do when their band breaks up. Besides continue to make music. I wonder if they have to work at some minimum wage paying job in a grocery store bagging groceries. Thanks, this was great.

[Jumpoff]

It could be worse. Cappadonna, after his rap career went downhill, became a taxi driver.

[SickOfStars]

I've run into more kids/guys/gals in these sorta bands that are going to college at the same time than in any other genre I think.

All of Storm the Bastille are at different schools in different cities/states and play together when they can.

I pretty much feel the same way, I've never actually been to a hardcore show. There simply aren't any in my area. I'm planning on changing that this summer, but almost all of the truly informative discussions I've had about it have been online.
http://portraitsofpast.com/ if you want to find out what they did after breaking up, basically the only one who didn't keep doing music became a homeopath (a type of herb-based medicine). As for other bands, most of them really do keep playing music for as long as they still feel it, but they do it in other genres with other people. And your welcome, it is fun to inform and just as fun to theorize.

True, at college I have encountered far more open minded people who are liable to be fans of this kind of music. They aren't, but I'll get them around eventually.

If you aren't listening to Grade like I told you to, go shoot yourself in the foot.

Grade rules, but their later material had some of the worst lyrics ever.

[TheBaroness]

Some good Aussie bands for ya:

Quebec
To the North
Eucalypt
Majorca
Quiet Steps
Luca Brasi

Unfortunately most of them are broken/breaking up now :-(

[ImAwakeNow]

Did I say Palatka yet? Also, if you enjoy Swing Kids, a similar band is Crimson Curse.

Ill have to check them out sometime to. Do you know where I can find any Portrait. Ive lisetened to some of their sets on Youtube but I cant seem to find anything other than that. You think you can help me out.

Yep, check your PMs. I can't quite remember the song title, but my favorite of theirs has something to do with Fallen Constellations. Violin = win.

I don't think I mentioned them before, but you should check out "The Khayembii Communique" too.
