It's $24.99 Canadian:upset: Argh, maybe I'll just dl it..

[cbmartinez]

Three screamo bands, The Assistant, This Ship Will Sink, and Takaru have released a split EP.

Those bands are really good. I wanna' see if I can pick that up somehow.

[Happymeal]

I have to go to downtown Toronto to buy some emo/screamo cd's. It's a bit far..

The Secret - Fire Isn't Always Meant To Burn's end part is sooo emo.





or not

[BuddyBigsby]

First Bleeding Kansas and now The Secret... I rule.

This Ship Will Sink are great. I heard they just split up though, which is a bitch.

I just got the Assistant LP in the mail (pink vinyl!!).
Traded it for the Ivich 10".

The Takaru split Lp with A Light In The Attic is great, although I prefer the A Light In The Attic side.. Try and get your hands on it!

I only have TFoT under my belt.

[cbmartinez]

Van Johnson is mine.

Buddy, I heard you're a fan of This Day Forward. Well, one of the members, Vadim, is now in this amazing post-hardcore/indie local band that plays shows around here. They're called Marigold.

www.purevolume.com/marigold

I really urge people to listen to them. I'm a bit confused about This Day Forward though. Were they signed? If so, to what label?

[Happymeal]

I've heard of Marigold a few months back. The song's awesome. Shame there's only one song on their page..

That reminds me, gots to get more doods into Sadaharu and Rival Schools.

[cbmartinez]

Jon sent me some Rival Schools I believe.

[Happymeal]

It's not that they're not recognized, they're just a bit underappreciated, that's all.

I'm looking up some Lickgoldensky songs right now and see if tornpicture's telling the truth. Oh well, almost all the Level-Plane bands are awesome anyway.

Already heard, good stuff. They're no This Day Forward *semen*, but they're good. They were on Eulogy for the first couple albums and then I believe they released their last one through Equal Vision.

Happymeal: Lickgoldensky really aren't very good at all.

[cbmartinez]

Awesome. I need to hear some This Day Forward. I like lickgoldensky though.

[tornpictures]

Lickgoldensky rule. I think they broke up too.

Alexander T. is a ****ing madman!!

Their first album is by far their best.

[DFelon204409]

Happymeal: Lickgoldensky really aren't very good at all.

True that.

I've never heard This Day Forward though. Not like I'm going to anyway because my computer no longer has a functional hard drive yay! Thankfully the new fordirelifesake will be in my box tomorrow. Mmmmm.

[Happymeal]

Hey! Haven't seen you in a long time. Hmm, I'll check them out just the same. Air Conditioning's description turns me on. "telephone wires for strings"? Sounds cool.

I haven't listened to much Fordirelifesake's stuff yet, but I know I should've bought their cd when I was in downtown, and Old Man Gloom's yesterday. My instincts failed me.:(

[BuddyBigsby]

Lickgoldensky rule. I think they broke up too.

Alexander T. is a ****ing madman!!

Their first album is by far their best.

Yeah, they did break up. Sucks, because I was curious about their performance I was too see in a couple months. Is The Beautiful Sounds of... their first album? Because if so I beg to differ...

[takingbacktuesday]

soooooooo, how bout TBS. :)
-or-
Senses Fail?

[shane italian]

True that.

I've never heard This Day Forward though. Not like I'm going to anyway because my computer no longer has a functional hard drive yay! Thankfully the new fordirelifesake will be in my box tomorrow. Mmmmm.I doubt you would like This Day Forward. Just overly heavy CHUG-RIFFFF band.

Shane, my main man, listen to In Response

[tornpictures]

Yeah, I think it is, why?

[BuddyBigsby]

Yeah, I think it is, why?

It's just not that great. The songs are bland and not very memorable. I can pop it in every now and then if I just want a short grindy record, but it's not the greatest album.

[tornpictures]

I think it's so good. Nothing beats Aedificum.

To each their own, I suppose.

[DFelon204409]

Fall Out Boy Is The Best!!!!!!!!!

Best post ever.

[Happymeal]

Great posts for great first impressions:p

Just bought Crimes, it's a bit far from their old stuff, but I like it.

Is Art Damage worth it though? I'm still a bit skeptical.

[cbmartinez]

Odd How People Shake is better, IMO.

[-BCRich-]

Alexisonfire. Theyre screamo, and new cd has some parts with i guess emo style... should check em out. (theyre canadian too woot woot)

[cbmartinez]

How about you read the thread first moron.

[BuddyBigsby]

Just bought Crimes, it's a bit far from their old stuff, but I like it.

Is Art Damage worth it though? I'm still a bit skeptical.

It's good. It took a while to grow on me, but its good stuff. It's pretty different from Odd How People Shake in that it's heavier, and has less singy/shouty parts. It has a lot of parts that kind of drone on without really going anywhere, but after a few listens it grows on you. Definitely a more artistic record. Not as good as OHPS, but its a decent album.

[shane italian]

Shane, my main man, listen to In ResponseIs that the one about the Tranquil Reflections In The River of Blood And Water XXX?

[BuddyBigsby]

Is that the one about the Tranquil Reflections In The River of Blood And Water XXX?

Haha, I'm lost. Maybe you've only heard their old stuff, which is more hardcorey with breakdowns abound and such, but their last album (In Response) was post-hardcore bliss.

[Happymeal]

I really thought it's better than their first, listening to The State Of Texas vs. Fear Before, but basing a whole album on one song is a no-no. That cleared some stuff up, thanks.

[DFelon204409]

fordirelifesake tastes like god

[cbmartinez]

I really thought it's better than their first, listening to The State Of Texas vs. Fear Before, but basing a whole album on one song is a no-no. That cleared some stuff up, thanks.

That sond didn't impress me that much. "Hey Kid, I'm a Computer, So..." is better in my opinion. I think Odd How People Shake was artsier than the new album.

[volcomxprincess]

does sum 41 count?..............cauterize...and alkaline trio

[Gotkookie]

Alexisonfire. Theyre screamo, and new cd has some parts with i guess emo style... should check em out. (theyre canadian too woot woot)
First off they arent screamo, emo, or good. Canadians suck :upset:

[Happymeal]

Protest The Hero are Canadian

[guitar is hard]

Isn't Protest The Hero from Whitby, Ontario? I havent listened to them in a while.

[shane italian]

That sond didn't impress me that much. "Hey Kid, I'm a Computer, So..." is better in my opinion. I think Odd How People Shake was artsier than the new album.I will second this.

You couldn't use a better way to describe what you said and let me add some other real bands

Rufio ("Above me" and "Save the World" are good songs)
Thrice ("To Awake and Avenge the death", "Stare at the Sun", "All that's Left"
"Deadbolt", "Identity Crisis", "Paper Tigers")

Alexisonfire ( "Accidents", "Pulmonary Archery", "Get Fighted", "Side walks when she walks", "Waterwings", "44 Caliber love letter")
Story of the Year ("Anthem of Our dying Day", "Sidewalks")
Avenged Sevenfold (the best kick *** band ever) (You have : "Unholly Confessions", "Chapter Four", "Second Heartbeat")

I'm definitely forgetting some songs but I let you the pleasure to discover them by yourself, Give me news

None of those bands are emo or screamo.

It's pointless to say that every two posts.

[ZaaR]

None of those bands are emo or screamo.


thrice are emo and alexisonfire and avenged sevenfold are screamo, but avenged sevenfold are more heavy.

[MassaHuang]

Atreyu and Avenged Sevenfold are both good, more emocore or metalish than anything else but i think they will fit in with some of the other bands listed. check 'em out, i think they are touring now too.

[BuddyBigsby]

thrice are emo and alexisonfire and avenged sevenfold are screamo, but avenged sevenfold are more heavy.

No, you numbskull.

[BuddyBigsby]

Alexisonfire is the best kickass band ever lol. See nick. ( Followed by Thrice )
Anyway... Alex is screamo

Story of The Year are "wannabe-emo" that's leaning dangerously towards pop...

Avenged Sevenfold is metalcore

Rufio, well, let's say punk rock but freaking NICE punk rock.

Thrice is kinda everywhere. I can't really say what they are... Can anyone? They're screamo, emocore, emo, pop-punk depending on the songs... From heavy titles like Paper Tigers and Under Par to pop-ish crap like The Artist in the Ambulance and Send me an Angel, they're all over the place.

[fuzzyhair]

to watch the stars fade and nor am i are good

[guitar is hard]

I enjoy listening to Alexisonfire but they are NOT screamo, by no means. I would classify them as indie/metal or something along those lines.

[MassaHuang]

keep it mellow people, just state preferences and bands, dont fret

I know what it feels like. Just lay off them. Let them listen to what they like. It's not like it's your problem they call Taking Back Sunday screamo.
Hell, screamo as a genre doesn't even exist.

[Happymeal]

Hell, screamo as a genre doesn't even exist.



You, sir, are a man of great contradictions.

Until now, I always put the word 'screamo' in quotation marks. I feel it's a weird description. Abstract.

That was so stupid I think you gave me cancer :amaze:

alexisonfire = post hardcore - new stuff is pop punk
soty = pop punk
rufio = pop punk
Thrice = melodic hardcore/pop punk, new stuff = pop punk, old stuff = melodic hardcore.

[DFelon204409]

Thrice = melodic hardcore/pop punk, new stuff = pop punk, old stuff = melodic hardcore.

Duder. Thrice's new stuff is more stratified. They have songs that are very pop-punk ("The Artist in the Ambulance") but then they have metalcore songs ("Paper Tigers") while back in the day they blended all of these styles for.

[cbmartinez]

and hes not talking about the board game.

Hahahahha, nice.

That post is written by something so confused, it doesn't know whether to scratch its watch or wind its ***. Just as the strength of a solitary brick will not save a poorly built structure, your bold typeface does not redeem your craven incoherent words.

Keep typing. Maybe, someday, you'll randomly type something semi-intelligent. I understand what you are trying to say, even though you obviously don't.

This is a question to everyone, what genre is Thursday, its like they have a genre all on there own?

[cbmartinez]

Post-Hardcore/Emocore I guess. Maybe some indie thrown in there.

[Happymeal]

This is a question to everyone, what genre is Thursday, its like they have a genre all on there own?

Thursday are post-hardcore. With a bit post-emo maybe?..

[TNbassplayer08]

K, thanks, do you know any other bands like thursday?

[cbmartinez]

Scary Kids, Scaring Kids

[BuddyBigsby]

Bayside.

[tornpictures]

Cursive (all sh*t)
Mineral (all sh*t)
Jawbreaker (back in the day when emo was still legitimately "emotional punk-

I love these bands.

[Stokken665]

Bright Eyes is the best band ever.

[RNR]

[Gotkookie]

Holy crap, Saetia - Roquentin is the best screamo song Ive ever heard.

[cbmartinez]

I think Fear Before The March Of Flames could be called emo. Well, Odd How People Shake, anyway.

[Gotkookie]

I think you mean screamo, they just dont put enough emotion into their music. They are close though. :)

[cbmartinez]

No, I don't mean screamo. They aren't grindy enough to be screamo. But as for emo, I think they fit in the genre perfectly. The music is chaotic, beautiful and artsy at the same time and they put so much emotion into it. Sounds like emo to me.

[DFelon204409]

I don't know what emotion you're talking about. They seem for zany and playful than emotional.

[RiSeAgAiNsT]

what category would taking back sunday be?

[cbmartinez]

I don't know what emotion you're talking about. They seem for zany and playful than emotional.

Though much of the music is very upbeat and almost pop-punk, I think their lyrics and vocals express a lot of emotion.

Pop-Punk.

[Happymeal]

Do Grade(the band) have a website? I can't find it when I google "grade"..

[Gotkookie]

Pop-Punk.
Converge has emotional lyrics, but they still are metalcore. I cant agree that they are emo.

[BuddyBigsby]

Highly doubt it, they've been broken up for a while.

[bottledied]

awesome thread.

[cbmartinez]

You're missing the point. I realize that the lyrics are definitely not what makes a band emo. But I said the way the vocals and music blend creates a lot of emotion, and don't tell me the music isn't chaotic. This seems to sound like emo to me.

(I'm talking about Odd How People Shake keep in mind)

[cbmartinez]

Jesus, lickgoldensky are so damn weird.

[tornpictures]

You suck. Last time I looked, 'screamo' was a descendent of emo.

Are emo bands even the slightest bit 'grindy?'
NO.

Oh, and Angel Hair and the like don't count as emo bands.

Look man, have you ever been to an emo show? NO.
I remember bands crying at shows, giving it their all, etc.
Those 'traits' you named are really, really stupid.

You self-proclaimed 'screamo' kids don't know **** about the roots or the genre itself.

[sic_transit_gloria]

[B]Atreyu[B]

I'm not trying to be stuck-up, you ignorant ****. I was inquiring about the band and judging by the definition I have learned through fourfa and the members of this forum, seeing if they could fit into that genre. For your information, I saw Hot Cross and LickGoldenSky at a local venue. But I guess they aren't real emo right? It's only the original offshoot hardcore bands that it is most likely no one on this board has seen in concert. Fear Before The March Of Flames was also listed under the "Bands that draw roots from emo" at the beginnng of this thread. Again, judging from what I have learned, I thought they could be classified under emo. Then you storm in here, calling other people ignorant and stuck-up, when your one of the most elitist bitches I've seen on the board in a while. Didn't you say that you shouldn't "slag off" on kids because they have an altered definition.

it's much better to try and get them into new music without making bitchy comments.

Oh look, there it is. Live and studio are different things. I realize that a big part of emo was the fact that the bands brokedown and cried on stage. But if that's the only thing that makes a band emo, emo is one of the stupidest genres ever created. I'm sure Elton John and The Beach Boys have cried on stage, are they emo? From what I have read from various sources, emo music is usally chaotic, along the lines of hardcore, and usually has very artsy and emotional lyrics, vocals and music, thus the term emo. I feel that Fear Before The March Of Flames puts alot of heart and emotion into their music, while accompanying it with very chaotic music. By the defintions I am used to, that might make them "an emo band." I know screamo as a harder version of emo, usually even more chaotic. Many of the screamo bands listed in this thread sound like "grind/grindcore," but with a sense of art, beauty and emotion in them. This is another definition that I am used to hearing. Though part of the definitions is the presence of a very emotonal stage presence, that is definitely not the main factor. I'm sorry I can't sit around with you and reminsce about the ol' days when you went to concerts where real emo bands used to cry on stage, but the defintion I have listed seems a little more logical.

[cbmartinez]

[B]Atreyu[B]

They are metalcore/metal, not screamo. Some songs I suggest:

Living Each Day Like You're Already Dead
Someone's Standing On My Chest
Lip Gloss And Black
Tulips Are Better
Dilated
Ain't Love Grand

Hey torn, I saw Explosions in the Sky last night. They cried onstage. I guess they're emo now.

[mshort813]

trophy scars are awesome. i didnt realize they were pretty big now since i grew up with them in my hometown. i didnt know a lot of other people knew about them since ive just been hearing about them since i was a lot younger. its awesome to see a local band get known.

F.

cbmartinez, are most emo bands even the slightest bit grindy or chaotic or whatever?

Not counting Constantine Sankathi, Clikatat Ikatowi or Portraits of Past?

By the way, if you weren't around long enough to see those bands, you shouldn't be trying to instruct kids on what 'emo' is.

Buddy's sarcasm fits in my fist. My fist fits (easily) into you ***. Your head is up your ***. Therefore Buddy's sarcasm should technically fit in your head. Weird thing though, it doesn't. How could that elude you? It was so freakin obvious.

[cbmartinez]

You answered my argument pretty poorly. I'm not saying emo bands are grind, I'm saying screamo has a lot of grind influence. It's like classic metal and death metal. A band like Black Sabbath is considered metal and then you have bands like Cryptopsy that are insane, chaotic death metal. Though they both come from metal, I called Death Metal chaotic. I didn't say classic metal was chaotic, I said Death Metal was. See how two different sub-genres can be chaotic and non-chaotic?

[cbmartinez]

By the way, if you weren't around long enough to see those bands, you shouldn't be trying to instruct kids on what 'emo' is.

That's bullshit. That means that the whole concept of history is a joke. "The Declaration Of Independce was signed on July 4, 1776." Well, I guess since my history teacher wasn't there, he has no write to teach it, and neither does anyone who's under the age of 230. I never saw Refused in concert, so I guess I can't talk about them or the genre there in?

I apologize on Cb's behalf for not having had someone introduce him to those bands sooner. I'm sure he'll try a lot harder next time, because you know, that's something that he can control. In the meantime, I'm going to go cure cancer by telling people not to get it. I like your philosophies!

[cbmartinez]

Heheh. I think I'm putting up a pretty decent argument.

[deadohiosky9]

I have a question, since there are some knowledgeable people in this thread. What do you guys consider Hopesfall as? I think they are emo. But I don't know.

Hopesfall are metalcore/post-hardcore. Maybe some indie and progressive in there.

Petty insults, yes, but that seems to be all you respond to, seeing as how you choose not to respond when anybody clearly defeats you in a perfectly non-petty manner. My miniature DIY essay simply got ignored, as did my two OBVIOUSLY sarcastic posts, which you actually bought into. Not just me, DFelon pointed you out, and so has Shane on several occasions.

You're the only "petty" one here. Whenever you get beat, you resort to rash generalizations about 'the scene'. **** your scene. If the scene truly has changed for the worse, its because of "holier-than-thou" psuedo-intellectuals such as yourself claiming you have more of a right to it than everybody else because you were lucky enough to be born ten years earlier. No one here was bitching (aside from the occasional genre nazisms, which you're right about to a certain extent) until you came along crying about the scene and fake kids. YOU caused all the drama, and you are a massive ****ing hypocrite. I don't have the time right now because I have to go to my Sociology class in 5 minutes, but one of these days I'm going to take massive joy in pointing out the many occasions in which you have contradicted yourself.

Also, you didn't include many of the musical components of emo. You just said that they have a loud soft guitar dynamic, which is often true but you're neglecting the fact that emo doesn't follow the verse chorus verse paradigm. It has mostly clean tone guitar and bass so that when the songs get fast and chaotic, which they do, the sound isn't heavy as much as it is abrasive, which complements the similar vocal style. Want me to go on? I have a bio lab to prepare and I don't want to spend the evening beating you in this argument. Just go away and masturbate in your closet while watching the OC.

I have no clue where the title came from.

I finally found a copy at Tower the other day, though. It's real good, my only complaints are that there's only 6 songs (and two instrumentals) and there's a ****ING MASSIVE amount of breakdowns. I seriously think the breakdowns outweigh the 'normal' riffs in the songs.

Are the Blood Brothers screamo? And how about Fear Before?

[Iris]

I think The Blood Brothers have an indie/screamo sound, and FBTMOF is more metal/hardcore.

[cbmartinez]

Blood Brothers have a lot of screamo influence, but enough to be placed in the screamo genre. I had an argument about FBTMOF with tornpictures three pages back. I think they should fall under emo personally, but torn and Dfelon don't think so.

[Iris]

FBTMOF do have some "emo" influence, but I have only noticed it in a select few songs.

[cbmartinez]

Their first album is really close to emo on my opinion. The new one, as you said, is much more metal and hardcore influenced.

[Iris]

Yeah, I remember reading somewhere that they were going for a more metal and hardcore influenced album in their latest release.

Sorry, DFelon: God Of Emo

I suspect you didn't read the first few pages of this thread?

Uh... You guys keep saying emo stands for emocore but then why does the site you guys keep on recommending say it stands for emotional? Because Emo and emotional are too totally different things. Emo is a genre but all bands are emotional.

[BuddyBigsby]

Don't take the term so literally.

[The_One]

Ok then, thanks for clearing that up. But if the site you guys keep recommending doesn't even have the right definition for emo then what's the point...?

Hi.

I dont necessarily like emo but Im compiling a resource and could use some help.

Would any of you guys know of any bass-oriented emo/screamo bands. Not necessarily bands where the bass is in the front, just bands that would be worthwhile to check out for bass players.


Thanks

[BuddyBigsby]

Wrong genre if you're looking for instrumental virtuosity.

The Blood Brothers do some interesting stuff with the bass.

As Buddy said emo isn't about instrumentalism. Bands that focus on instrumentalism as the point of their music shouldn't technically be emo because emo is about the emotion. The best bass in emo I feel comes from Hot Cross and The Great Redneck Hope though TGRH isn't THAT emo.

[tornpictures]

Haha, and they call you the 'emo authority.'

Most emo bands could definitely play their instruments well, like the Saetia guitarist (for a better-known example).
The chords played aren't just normal power chords, they're mostly octave chords, using 4+ strings.

Emo songs mostly follow a pattern: Intro, intro intro, buildup, explosion, buildup, explosion.

Very little vocals in alot of songs.

Now, for the bass: The Red Scare. I know they're more of a hardcore band, but the bass plays a big part in most of their songs. '12 Years Past' is a good example.

Since this has been a problem in the past and clearly still is, I'm going to lay out what I said so your reading comprehension may benefit.

"As Buddy said emo isn't about instrumentalism. Bands that focus on instrumentalism as the point of their music shouldn't technically be emo because emo is about the emotion." -Me

I said that instrumentalism was not the focus of emo. I never said that emo musicians aren't talented I just said that that's not the points. Many are talented like Hot Cross (the example I gave) but if it's an emo band, that's not why they write the songs. It is merely a side effect of being good musicians and playing what they feel is fitting.

Get it, lunchbox?

P.S. - If octaves, chords using 4+ strings, and octaves using 4+ strings over multiple guitars or octaves over 3+ with one guitar are "technical" in your book, you need to practice guitar a bit.

[bendurarmstolooklikewings]

omg, you guys, are just lame, you have NO clue what screamo or emo is, and underoath IS SCREAMO! morons, i'll give a list of good emo/screamo bands,


Screamo:
Hidden In Plain View
Finch
Underoath

Emo:
brand new
the early november
straylight run
taking back sunday
Coheed & cambria
Matchbook romance

thats not all, im just not in the mood to think right now, but thats just to give you some examples Dude, you will be flamed for the rest of your life. now im 12, and i know what real screamo is. finch is pretty much pop-punk, underoath are like emotional soft-core, something like that. I haven't heard that much of hidden in plain view, but they sound pop-punk to me. screamo is you and i, off minor, saetia, and the other bands they put there. u just got beat by a 12 year old music snob. by the way does anyone have any cowboys become folk heroes mp3's?

Anybody here like Underoath? I think they are pretty sweet.

I ****ing love underoath :thumb:

[Reaganista]

screamo isn't a genre.

[Sut Suo]

Anyone heard of emery? They kick a lot of ***.
I'd have to say they're my favorite emo/screamo band. Heck, they're my favorite band all
together.

[DFelon204409]

Sut Suo - Emery ain't emo or screamo or anything like that. I think you can start a whole bunch of conversations about them in the pop punk forum though.

[BuddyBigsby]

This is like Hardcore/Metalcore Education Junior... actually, its more like a spin-off. Some of the same characters, but everything else is different.

[cbmartinez]

Hahaha. It's so like a sitcom. You have the cast and now the spinoffs. We so need a laugh track.

[BuddyBigsby]

And remember, like I mentioned a long time ago, Gotkookie is the annoying retarded kid next door.

[Bartender]

What's torn, then?

[BuddyBigsby]

The smart, stuck-up guy that you love to hate.

Sorry to change the subject but does anyone know any Emo songs to woo a girl with? I started a thread like this in the punk forums and got the hell bashed outta me. I didnt know there was an Emo thread.

Also, anyone know any acoustic Boxcar Racer songs other than "There Is?" I just recently started to listen to them and dont know a lot about them.

[Iris]

If you came in here to find refuge from bashing, with that post, you won't.

[DepressedHighSchoolStudent]

Why?
Let me refraise the first part. I want a romantic song to ask her out to

[Iris]

A bit better.

Box Car Racer is not emo, and the people in here will let you know it.

[Reaganista]

use sleeping or ****ing or something by Moss Icon.

Or becoming the truth by Saetia.

most of the female box car racer fans I know love those songs.

[DepressedHighSchoolStudent]

I never said they were emo, but a few of their songs have emo characteristics in them like "Sorrow" and "There Is."

[DepressedHighSchoolStudent]

You know where I can download them? I get no hits on WinMX.

[Happymeal]

I showed you that band, I want 35% of your pussy income.

[DepressedHighSchoolStudent]

Huh? I got the Bleeding Kansas part, but that sentence is so butchered up.

[DepressedHighSchoolStudent]

I get no hits on that band either...

[DepressedHighSchoolStudent]

Any other bands?

[BuddyBigsby]

You wouldn't like Bleeding Kansas, so don't worry about it. If you reaaaalllllllyyyyyy want to hear them though they have songs up at www.hxcmp3.com/bleeding_kansas and at www.abacusrecordings.com
