The Official R&M Emo/Screamo Thead

[i am the robots]

To take the discussion out of the grind thread, and since at least a few R&Mers like screamo.

Anyhow, I'm listening to Ampere's demo right now. So damn good.
This thread has only consisted of people saying Off Minor is really good and GO LISTEN TO GOSPEL.

Basically, I'll help break it down..

If you want to get a relatively strong grasp on what the emo/screamo genre is actually about I'd say go back to the original few bands that started it and grab a few albums by them. This would include stuff like:

Influences:
Essentially the influences of the emo/screamo were post-hardcore bands that while sounding similar are more focused on adding a extreme melodic sound to their music.
Good early post-hardcore records are pretty well renowned records like:
Embrace - Embrace
Fugazi - 13 Songs
Drive Like Jehu - S/T

All of these post hardcore records essentially capture the sonic half of "emotional hardcore" but the blistering vocals that Guy would make present with Rites of Spring would be far off the radar of most post-hardcore bands. "1st Wave Emo" can be explored with such bands as..

Rites of Spring - End on End
Gray Matter - Take it Back
Rain - La Vache Qui Rit

After the initial D.C. wave, we have a couple of bands that start taking up the blossoming ideas of the post-rock and math rock genres and add them to emo.. therefore making some kind of dynamically effective "emotional hardcore". City of Caterpillar was basically biting alot of these bands when they released their classic LP.

Moss Icon - Lyburnum
Indian Summer - Discography
Maximillian Colby - Discography

Also during the early '90s "emotional hardcore" started making strong pushes into extremely aggressive hardcore almost similar to power violence but really not as sludgy. Bands that really pushed for this include..

Navio Forge - As We Quietly Burn A Hole Into
Policy of 3 - Dead Dog Summer
Guyver One - S/T 7"

Finally the rise of the midwest scene was another effect of the early '90s with bands like Cap'n Jazz fusing a heavy melodic sound with the aggression of the "emotional hardcore" scene.

Cap'n Jazz - Analphabetapolothology
Boys Life - Boys Life
Ethel Meserve - The Milton Abandonment

After these initial splitting of ideas we have the aggressive sounds of Navio Forge and such start paving way for the entire gravity records sound which consists of bands like..

Heroin - Heroin
Swing Kids - Discography
Angel Hair - Pregnant with the Senior Class

From these gravity records bands come the "internet sauvy" bands or essentially most of the bands that have helped really make "emotional hardcore" popular.

Orchid - Chaos is Me
Saetia - Discography
Jerome's Dream - Discography

Once again you have bands building on the genre that Orchid and Saetia have laid out and making it even more eclectic. City of Caterpillar brings back the post-rock influence of old and uses GYBE as the template. Where as Hot Cross starts expanding the vocabulary of what emo can be.

City of Caterpillar - City of Caterpillar
Hot Cross - Cyronics
Gospel - The Moon is a Dead World

Finally the emerging european sound steals from Envy's strong post-rock/post-hardcore backing and merges it with the aggressiveness of emotional hardcore.

Daitro - Laisser vivre les squelettes
Sed Non Satiata - Le ciel de notre enfance
Mihai Edrisch - Un Jour Sans Lendemain

thats basically it.

EDIT: PROTIP:
Bands like Alixisonfire, From Fist To Last, The New Tragic, Thursday, Hawthorne Heights, Aiden, Alesana, and whatever else there is that you kids listen to these days isn't screamo, it's gay.

[okay]

off minor is ****ing sick

[i am the robots]

I do not know this Off Minor you speak of. Suggestions?

[okay]

Innominate
The Heat Death Of The Universe

it's hard to pick out specific songs because they're all so good

[Angmar]

I have been considering getting As Roots Undo, I actually kinda liked the song I heard on their myspace.

[i am the robots]

That CD is really good, I recommend it to anybody who isn't a closeminded gayfag.
Thanks, okay.

[okay]

i have both so i could upload them for you or something if you want

[i am the robots]

Yes plz. mappytwardzik@gmail.com

[7SOR]

That CD is really good, I recommend it to anybody who isn't a closeminded gayfag.
Thanks, okay.

I remember showing "Crow Quill" to this Dave Matthews loving douchebag and he was like "it's just random notes, it doesn't even sound good". Then his mind expanded a little and he had to be rushed to emergency.

[i am the robots]

Haha, my 10th grade music teacher would have kids bring in CD's every now and then. I brought in As The Roots Undo, everybody was just like, "WTF IS GOING ON?!"

I really don't get when people say things are just, "random notes," when things are even remotely frantic, do they not notice that those, "random," notes follow a repeated pattern?

[tuff]

Amanda Woodward

I just got La Décadence de la Décandence today. Pretty awesome stuff.

[i am the robots]

I reviewed that album on the review site, omg.

And yeah, Amanda Woodward is awesome as hell... Bomber Le Show-Bizz is such a good song.

[tuff]

Do they have any other albums? I can't seem to find anything about any. =/

[i am the robots]

They have an EP called Ultramort, and really good demo.

Ultramort is probably their weakest release.

They also did a split with 1905.

[okay]

a couple bands that are missing from that list:
Suis La Lune
Mihai Edrisch
La Quiete
Daitro
Raein
Heroin
Shotmaker
Belle Epoque
I Hate Myself
Neil Perry
page 99
Portraits of Past
Embrace
Rites of Spring
A Day In Black and White

[i am the robots]

/added

[okay]

thanks

its a little late here so ill get to uploading that stuff tomorrow or i cant send it to you over aim right now fi you want

[JumpTheF**kUp]

I'm really liking Portrait at the moment. North Ebony is so awesome.

Stevo: if you do end up getting the CTTS album, be warned, you probably won't like it at all at first. I hated it for like 4 months and then I forcefed it to myself and finally one day it all just clicked as I was listening to Same Shade as Concrete. Sick band/album.

Can you recommend me some stuff based off some of the emo bands I like mappy?

Hot Cross
CTTS
Portrait
City of Caterpillar
pg. 99

etc.

I'm thinking Off Minor and Gospel, but idk.

[okay]

if you like city of carterpillar and portraits of past you'll like A Day In Black and White

[i am the robots]

JumpTheF**kUp: check out Ampere, Orchid, and Love Lost But Not Forgotten.

As The Roots Undo clicked with me right away, first screamo album I ever heard too.
thanks

its a little late here so ill get to uploading that stuff tomorrow or i cant send it to you over aim right now fi you want

Just upload it tomorrow if you remember, thanks.

[okay]

**** we cant forget about Indian Summer

[Doop]

Needs more heavy shiz
Union Of Uranus, One Eyed God Prophecy, Shikari, Zann, June Paik.
Needs more Yaphet Kotto as well.

also, La Quiete are godly.

[i am the robots]

How did I forged Union Of Uranus? They're one of my favorite screamo bands.

I think the list is good enough for now, just some names thrown up so stupid kids don't criticize the genre.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I listen to a few of the bands you listed there. Gospel and Off Minor are probably my favourites, and CTTS are alright but idk with the exception of Same Shade As Concrete I can't into As The Roots Undo much. I don't find much of it very memorable.

I do not know this Off Minor you speak of. Suggestions?
are you serious?

[Cocaine]

Oh man Off Minor ruuuuuules

[i am the robots]

I listen to a few of the bands you listed there. Gospel and Off Minor are probably my favourites, and CTTS are alright but idk with the exception of Same Shade As Concrete I can't into As The Roots Undo much. I don't find much of it very memorable.
Really? I'm all about Non-Objective Portrait Of Karma and Interview At The Ruins myself.

are you serious?
Yeah, I know right?

[big80smullet]

Im downloading Circle Takes The Square right now. I have high hopes.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I do not know this Off Minor you speak of. Suggestions?
idk I thought you would be all over them like a rash since you seem to like Saetia so much. unless you are being sarcastic in which case I am a fool.

[Cocaine]

Im downloading Circle Takes The Square right now. I have high hopes.

As you should.

A murmur from the ruins echoes softly as the roots undo, and the branch becomes...

[i am the robots]

idk I thought you would be all over them like a rash since you seem to like Saetia so much. unless you are being sarcastic in which case I am a fool.
I seriously have never heard of them somehow. I'm excited to hear them now.

[JumpTheF**kUp]

Gospel's drummer is awesome.

[i am the robots]

Yeah he is. So damn busy.

I seriously found out about that band three days before they broke up.

[okay]

it sucks they broke up, i really wanted to see them live

[i am the robots]

Same here, mang. :(

[big80smullet]

2 songs in and i think i like circle takes the square. Not as much as between the buried and me mind but alot so far.

[i am the robots]

Pointless information: I'm wearing a Circle Takes The Square shirt that has lyrics from Crowquil on it.

[big80smullet]

Im wearing an oldschool acdc shirt from like 85 which i found in a cash converters. It used to be black now it brown.

back in brown

[i am the robots]

Back in brown, I hit the.... town?

[okay]

acdc sucks

[big80smullet]

Back in brown, I hit the.... town?

clown my friend. clown

acdc sucks

incorrect. you may not like them but they are very tallented and influential

[i am the robots]

acdc sucks
Agreed, but he's Australian, so I'm cutting him a break.

Also:
Twenty-six years past my prime, as if minutes made a difference...

[Concubine]

yo eleventeen fag, transistor transistor aren't emo from what ive heard.

[jrowa001]

this thread as refueled my urge to listen to more of this stuff. i already have Hot Cross, CTTS, City of Caterpillar, Off Minor, Saetia, Ampere. i think im going to get some pg 99 next. ive heard some of their songs but never a full album

[Pete]

didnt read anything past the first few posts becauseI do not know this Off Minor you speak of. Suggestions?

wtf?!?!?! are you for real?!?!? you don't know off minor? the bestest emo band there is*?


*exaggeration, but you really shouldve checked them out by now

[Apocalyptic Raids]

this thread as refueled my urge to listen to more of this stuff. i already have Hot Cross, CTTS, City of Caterpillar, Off Minor, Saetia, Ampere. i think im going to get some pg 99 next. ive heard some of their songs but never a full album

[Cocaine]

[big80smullet]

[JumpTheF**kUp]

I ****ing like Circle Takes The Square. Im gonna check out Off Minor next

Check out City of Caterpillar.

[StreetlightRock]

Ha, random fact, on my playlist, because CTTS and City of Caterpillar both start with 'Ci' they are right next to each other so i generally listen to both of their albums in a pair. So, so, so good.

I also got a list of scremo bands on my comp which I need to get: Amanda Woodward, Ampere, La Quiete and Raein.

This stuff is fast becoming my favorite genre of music.

Also, more people need to listen to Moss Icon. F'ucking amazing album they got out.

[Pete]

for me, circle of dead children comes in between

[i am the robots]

yo eleventeen fag, transistor transistor aren't emo from what ive heard.

I've always considered them screamo bro, and if you go buy the definition of emotional hardcore like it totally fits and such.

[Concubine]

they sound really "rock-ish" like Refused/Blood Brothers type of stuff from what i've heard. Oh well

[i am the robots]

They are kind of "rock-ish" but they're pretty hardcore influenced as well, idk.

[oracrest]

a lot of love for Circle Takes the Square. Thats awesome to hear!

[RetiredAt21]

This is kinda weird being in the R/M forum. Bands I like are:

Orchid
Vincent Price's Orphan Powered Death Machine (grind/screamo)
Ampere
Neil Perry
As The Sun Sets
Swing Kids
Off Minor
City Of Caterpillar
pg. 99
After School Knife Fight
Ekkaia
Kaospilot
Jerome's Dream
Hassan I Sabbah
Cowboys Became Folk Heroes
Joshua Fit For Battle
Dear Diary, I Seem To Be Dead

Those are my favorites, but I know there are more.

[Tyr]

I must confess that I know very little about screamo. Where should I start?

[RetiredAt21]

I must confess that I know very little about screamo. Where should I start?

With any of the bands on my list.

[team_racket]

anomie. they have a great screamotional french lady singer. hot.


joshua fit for battle is one of my faves. fantastic.

[Tyr]

With any of the bands on my list.

Thanks, I'll probably check out Off Minor or City of Caterpillar first.

[Iron Bars]

a lot of love for Circle Takes the Square. Thats awesome to hear!

Great band, but what ever happened to them. last I heard they were looking for a new drummer but that was a couple of years ago.

[2muchket!]

Orchid are ****ing amazing.

[i am the robots]

Truth.
Great band, but what ever happened to them. last I heard they were looking for a new drummer but that was a couple of years ago.
They're just chilling and playing shows at the moment. They have a few new songs written, but I don't know about any plans for a new CD.

[Eliminator]

i have a ctts shirt and i dont even like them that much anymore

[i am the robots]

Well aren't you cool.
I must confess that I know very little about screamo. Where should I start?
I'd say Yaphet Kotto, Amanda Woodward, and Hot Cross are good bands to start with... they're a lot less noisy than most screamo.

[2muchket!]

Hmm I'm not overly keen on CttS.

As The Roots Undo is pretty good none the less.

[oracrest]

Great band, but what ever happened to them. last I heard they were looking for a new drummer but that was a couple of years ago.

I know they had lost their original drummer a few years back, and they had a new guy when I saw them a few SXSW's ago. They are touring now, so they must have found a new guy.

[pixiesfanyo]

My Personal Top Ten Emo/Screamo Records:
Off Minor - The Heat Death Of The Universe
Off Minor - Cadaveric
In my opinion the best emo band that has ever existed. Combining early Fugazi like hardcore with the technical side of modern day emo, Off Minor is one of a kind.

Gospel - The Moon Is A Dead World
Progged out screamo produced by Kurt Ballou of Converge fame. A ridiculously original and stoned view of hardcore.

Ampere - All Our Tomorrows End Today
Orchid breaking up was certainly a blow to the hardcore scene as a whole but due to the creation of Ampere because of that split, I can't say I'm that upset. This is one of the fastest and most technical performances of music I've ever heard regardless of genre.

Navio Forge - As We Quietly Burn A Hole Into
Early emo that basically was the best version of its time. Haloed Eyes is quite possibly the finest hardcore song ever written and the vocal performance on this album is one of the best in emo history.

Ten Grand - This Is The Way To Rule
Midwest emo that had a singer who literally sounded like he was going to break down after every performance. The success to this album is the casual influence of post-punk in the guitar playing that At the Drive-In would use to gain their notorious popularity.

Jerome's Dream - Completed
This band is ridiculous. If you don't know them, **** you.

Guyver-One - 7"
Basically, Grandmaster Flash plus Indian Summer.

Mesa Verde - Amor Fati
Excellent blend of clean tones, the euro sound, and some instrumental post rock. Vocals are passionate, lyrics are excellent, and overall just a great screamo record from a little known band.

Birds Are Spies, They Report To The Trees - 7"
The continual development of the Cap'n Jazz sound is brought to its epitome on this Norway based band's second release.

[2muchket!]

I'd go with with most of that actually.

[pixiesfanyo]

Of course this isn't all the "emotional hardcore" out there. If you really dig any of this stuff you should search around and find some records that personally relate to you. Its a fantastic genre, and probably the most solid in my opinion in terms of creative work.

[2muchket!]

Yeah. I see the lack of Ocrhids in your top 10.

Not a fan ?

[pixiesfanyo]

I just think Jerome's Dream did their sound better.

Plus I like Ampere more and they came out of that break up.

[i am the robots]

Thanks pixies.

[Txus]

I've been listening to a lot of Drive Like Jehu lately, one of the greatest bands ever. Also in constant play I've had Comadre, Sinaloa and Raein.

Btw, a friend of mine gave me her copy of La Quiete and Louise Cyphre split, it's ****ing awesome.

[RetiredAt21]

Well aren't you cool.

I'd say Yaphet Kotto, Amanda Woodward, and Hot Cross are good bands to start with... they're a lot less noisy than most screamo.

Yaphet Kotto is awesome. The song "Torn Pictures" is so ****ing good.

[i am the robots]

My favorite by them is probably Circumstantial Evidence, but yeah, Torn Pictures is damn good.

[team_racket]

the split is immense, la quiete are beautiful. check out their last 7''. good call on comadre too.

thanks to pixies for putting all that up too.

Thanks, Mappy and pixies. I'll check some of those out.

funeral diner

[StreetlightRock]

needed to have a better drummer.

[okay]

so good

edit: are you trying to be ironic

[StreetlightRock]

Was i trying to be sarcastic? No. I just think that because the Funeral Diner relied so heavily upon heavy/soft dynamics, the soft parts really needed the drums to just add just that extra layer of awesomeness, a la City of Caterpillar. I don't think the drums are bad at all - i reckon there damn good - but i think they could have been even better, not technically even, but just playing to fit the songs more appropriately. But I'm being stupidly picky here, and its just a thought i had on the train the other day while listening to the Underdark =)

[Eliminator]

yeah but u c city of caterpillar aren't that good

[StreetlightRock]

yeah but u c u smell funny

I know they had lost their original drummer a few years back, and they had a new guy when I saw them a few SXSW's ago. They are touring now, so they must have found a new guy.

I hope they'll release some new material soon then.

[RetiredAt21]

I'm listening to Neil Perry right now. I love this band.

[Neoteric]

yeah but u c city of caterpillar aren't that goodHey look, we agree.

mappy I think you should edit pixies' posts into your first post.

I did the one already.

Anyone like Jerome's Dream?

Jerome's Dream rule.

[StreetlightRock]

thats funny because CoC's drummer is off beat all the time.

I know, but like i said, I'm not talking technicality, just playing beats to fit the song. Unless You're Gospel's drummer, in which case you can do anything you want and it'll sound good, heh.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

it's okay

[i am the robots]

*Really good.

[SubtleDagger]

talking about CTTS nonstop in screamo threads is annoying since they're so eclectic and hardly a typical screamo band

it would be like talking about BTBAM nonstop in a metalcore thread or something

[i am the robots]

True, but complaining about it is just as annoying.

[SubtleDagger]

in that case talk about ampere since they rule

[i am the robots]

Alright then. Their bassist has tits.

[StreetlightRock]

You just made me spit on myself 'cause i choked on my laugh. Thanks.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

i have the split with daitro. i like the daitro song more, but ampere are good too.

[i am the robots]

You should check out All Our Tomorrows End Today and their split with Sinaloa.

[SubtleDagger]

Their split with Funeral Diner rules

Also Funeral Diner rules

[i am the robots]

Truth. I just stated my two favorite.

[RetiredAt21]

Dear Diary and In/Humanity are pretty bitchin so I might check the rest of those out.

did you like all the guyana punch line crap or no?

Guyana Punchline are alright, but they get way more respect than they deserve. Highly overrated.

[team_racket]

funeral diner is one of my fave bands. its all about difference of potential and the underdark.

[StreetlightRock]

I need to listen to more DoP, I only ever seem to feel like listening to the Underdark.

[RetiredAt21]

The Underdark is my favorite.

[SubtleDagger]

I listen to DoP more than Underdark

[RetiredAt21]

I don't listen to DoP at all.

[i am the robots]

Drow Elves

[Iluvatar]

Underdark owns DoP. I actually like Doors Open more than DoP =/.

[Txus]

Doors Open is ****ing amazing.

Any of you guys like Usurp Synapse?

[Iluvatar]

I wrote a review on the site for them, really good ****.

[Txus]

**** yes. My friends have been telling me to listen to them for ages now, I downloaded their discography like 4 days ago and I was listening to it the past week, they're so freaking good.

[StreetlightRock]

It's really hard to find decent quality recordings of alot of this sorta music. It all like a very DIY sorta scene and most of the music is less than 192kbps stuff. =/

[Txus]

That's what makes all of it so great. Somehow like BM...

[Iluvatar]

Breaking News; Comadre Sign To Universal; To Recieve Same Recording Contract As Maroon 5

[StreetlightRock]

That's what makes all of it so great. Somehow like BM...

I dunno man, seems like a bit of a cop out excuse =/ I wanna appriciate good quality recordings dammit :mad:

Oh and for anyone interested in finding more stuff...

have fun.

[Iluvatar]

I love how all the emo megaupload lists have random *** **** thrown in their at random like radiohead.

[RetiredAt21]

Comadre and Usurp Synapse rule. Another band I really like is Swing Kids.

[Iluvatar]

Comadre were one of the best bands I've seen live ever. So ridiculous.

[RetiredAt21]

Burn the scene!!!

[Hbp]

Bump

[Txus]

New Envy EP is so good!

[Pete]

new envy ep? sweet

[Txus]

Yeah, leave your email if you want it.

[Pete]

oooh :) terrorman31 at hotmail dot com

[Txus]

check your inbox :)

[NemesisDivina]

SymbolicActs @ yahoo.com

thx Txus :D

[Txus]

k, sent.

And new Celeste is amazing.

[NemesisDivina]

If it's not too much trouble, could you send me Insomniac Doze as well? I listened to the song Scene, and I liked it a lot.

[oracrest]

for you Circle Takes the Square fans, there is a rather entertaining b-side of the tack "houdini logic" out there, with "Trigga and Quick" I think. Not sure how available it is, but its pretty funny to listen to.

[Txus]

You're lucky that I'm in a good mood, haha. Check your inbox in a few minutes.

[NemesisDivina]

You're lucky that I'm in a good mood, haha. Check your inbox in a few minutes.

Awesome!

Haha, can't wait. This has turned out to be a pretty good day, besides for the fact that I'm sick and all. At least being sick gave me a chance to download and listen to some more music :D

[Kage]

Why aren't you on AIM then?

[Txus]

I think I have evert Envy release so if you want some more just ask. And I already sent the album so check it out and tell me what you think.

I perfer the old stuff the most, but it's all very good.

And what do you guys think of the Sed Non Satiata / Daïtro split? I just got it but haven't listen to it.

[StreetlightRock]

streetlightrock@gmail.com =D

What are some good mid-west sounding emo bands? Been listening to Sunny Day Real Estate and Cap'n Jazz, but thats about it... Kinsella/Cap'n Jazz projects worth checking out first or are there better stuff out there?

[Txus]

Sent.

And check out Mineral, Braid, Ethel Meserve and Pop Unknown

[StreetlightRock]

You must spread some reputation around before giving it to Txus again :< thanks man.

[ZaaR]

new celeste is god like

[Txus]

I know man, much muuuuch better than their EP.

[Iluvatar]

The Daitro/Ampere split rules so much.

I feel bad for not having liked it that much at first.

[Txus]

That's another great Daitro split, yes!

Any of you guys like Toru Okada?

Iluvatar - Sweet Kodan Armada avatar :)

[Concubine]

Toru Okada is probably one of my least fav newer emo bands

ughh

[Txus]

:( damn, 2nd disagreement we have in 1 week haha

I really like them.

[ZaaR]

mhmm i'm downloading a daitro cd right now- laissez vivre les squelettes

[Txus]

I'm listening to Daitro at the moment :)

[Iluvatar]

Speaking of Kodan Armada, Toru Okada sound like a shitty version of them.

[Concubine]

:( damn, 2nd disagreement we have in 1 week haha

I really like them.

haha

i normally just listen to Off Minor or La Quiete

after seeing them live, i like them even more. Their drummer is a beast

[Txus]

I've been listening to more Off Minor lately, great band. I'm listening to a lot of Daitro, Indian Summer, Moss Icon, Celeste, We Killed Yamamoto and Logs :D

[Iluvatar]

I think Indian Summer is massively overrated, although "Angry Son" and "Millimeter" rule hard.

[iarescientists]

indian summer's lyrics are pretty lame, but instrumentally they're cool, and the climax of Angry Son is ****ing awesome.

[ZaaR]

do any of you guys like either i hate myself, or i would set myself on fire for you?

[Iluvatar]

IWASMOFFY is okay and gets too much hate on this site, but too much love everywhere else. I Hate Myself is cool.

[JumpTheF**kUp]

Ampere's All Our Tomorrows End Today is pretty rad.

[ZaaR]

Ampere's All Our Tomorrows End Today is pretty rad.

on of the best albums i have EVER heard. awesome ****

[A Dead Modernist]

IWASMOFFY are pretty meh, people around here suck their dick way too much.

[Iluvatar]

Listen to more Orchid.

[Txus]

I really like both bands but I think I Hate Myself are much better the 10 songs album is ****ing A.

[StreetlightRock]

I've got some Orchid on my comp, but the quality is so bad I've haven't bothered giving it a proper listen. All Our Tomorrows End Today is just like... wtf-i-swear-i-heard-something-awesome-but-its-over-so-fast-i-can't-quite-be-sure

[SubtleDagger]

IWSMOFFY is alright

I Hate Myself is just as alright

As is Orchid

Ampere is way way good

[Txus]

Ampere = awesome music.

I think the song Nine Minutes of Non Ficiton is one of the best I've heard...Neil Perry FTW!

[ZaaR]

yeah, i really like i hate myself, definately one of my favorite emo bands out there. this isn't tenki-ichi-budokai is my most played song on my ipod. i love the KAMAHAMAHA at the end

edit: i've never heard any orchid, can anyone send me an album or anything? you can rep it to me or email me at poisontheflag@hotmail.com

[Iluvatar]

I'm really digging Off Minor again lately. Can't wait for the new **** to come out.

edit: repped gatefold

[ZaaR]

not really screamo, but i've been digging pig destroyer alot lately and i just found a split they did with orchid so ++

[SubtleDagger]

Pig Destroyer is ****ing grind and they ****ing rule

Terrifyer is so good

[Txus]

I need a favor, can someone send me some Ekkaia? and some Palatka if you guys can? (i cant download megaupload links btw) thanks a lot :)

And I'm so awaiting the new Off Minor.

[Iluvatar]

I'd upload Ekkaia if I could.

Who is Palatka?

[SubtleDagger]

I'd upload Ekkaia if I could.

Who is Palatka?
emo-violence

[ZaaR]

Pig Destroyer is ****ing grind and they ****ing rule

Terrifyer is so good

of course they're grind... i saw a crazy video on youtube the other day of them, you guys have probably all seen it but it's cool all the same: http://youtube.com/watch?v=x-V4I-9di8w

[Iluvatar]

Are Palatka actually worth checking out?

[Txus]

http://www.last.fm/music/Palatka

Why can't you upload Ekkaia btw? :(

[Iluvatar]

Dial up :(.

[SubtleDagger]

Seen it but man it rules every time

[ZaaR]

http://www.last.fm/music/Palatka

Why can't you upload Ekkaia btw? :(

[Txus]

Thanks dude :)

[ZaaR]

edit: i think i know where you got that link from lol. coincidently i found it on the same page i got the link for ekkai for txus...

[RetiredAt21]

I Hate Myself rules. So does Ekkaia.

[Iluvatar]

mhmm that thing you linked me to had 2 cds in one, thanks iluvatar lol. gatefold is really good so far.

edit: i think i know where you got that link from lol. coincidently i found it on the same page i got the link for ekkai for txus...

yeah its all from that massive list they compiled

it has a few neat things on it I hadn't heard before.

np: joshua fit for battle

[ZaaR]

yeah man, i've been downloading albums off of that link for days now. so many bands i've never heard of, so many amazing bands i'm being introduced to.

[Iluvatar]

It's kind of a weird list because they decided "hey we have envy and other bands like that lets put random post rock" but it got me a Mihai Edrisch album so whatevs.

[Txus]

I can't get enough of the new Celeste!

[ZaaR]

It's kind of a weird list because they decided "hey we have envy and other bands like that lets put random post rock" but it got me a Mihai Edrisch album so whatevs.
