yeah, Glassjaw isn't screamo but I do love them.

Thanks to this thread, I've gotten into Pg.99 and The Kidcrash, and I definitely intend to expand more. That's quite a collection you have, httran.

A good one that I've found recently is Building Better Bombs... One of their vocalists, P.O.S. puts out some fantastic hip-hop albums, and I was surprised to hear him screaming. There's a wide variety of influences showing through, but they're still predominately on the hardcore/screamo side.

Thanks, over the past 2 or 3 years I've been gathering up as much screamo/emo as I can.

 

[httran]

Also, if you're digging pg. 99 you really need to check out Orchid and Jeromes Dream if you haven't already. Jeromes Dream would record and play shows with a vocal mic on the floor, and the bassist would just scream until he coughed up blood - THATS intense.

Umm.. I assume screamo is like the noise you'd make when you go to your wine cellar and someone's had the last bottle of Chateau d'Yquem 89 without telling you.

but what's emo?

Care to rephrase that?

Emo is a softer, less angry more artful offshoot of hardcore punk.

It was a tad tongue in cheek, but I read the whole thread and then realised I had no idea what screamo and emo were.. I just assumed screamo was onamatapaeic..

400 years...sleepytime trio...it brings back many fond memories of the days when Richmond actually had a great music scene.

 

[httran]

Older Engine Down is an especially great Richmond band

I love Thursday especially their album Full Collapse. I heard them back in 2000 and went to several of their concerts when I was in Middle School! The Envy split caught me by surprise.

Agreed. They're probably my favorite band to evolve out of Maximillian Colby.

 

[abellaw]

[m0ofassa]

does circle takes the square count? (not good with genres)

 

[httran]

Yea for sure. Their label (Robotic Empire) runs a really great distro/mailorder. I've ordered many screamo releases from them.

Yea, I feel like Lovitt is a really quality label.

 

[goober-george]

Always wondered if head-fiers were into this type of music. I love Hot Cross too bad that broke up. Here are some bands you may want to try out. Was really into the genre a few years ago.

Joshua Fit For Battle
Yaphett Koto
Amanda Woodward (French Screamo)
Clikatat Ikatowi
Ampere
Sinaola
A Day in Black and White
Funeral Diner
Hirtesukan
Neil Perry
Orchid
Melt Banana (This one has a female lead vocalist, they are nuts)
Love Lost but Not Forgotten (nuts too)

BTW, my friend just introduced me into P.O.S. and he does put out some great music.
