Daido Loori

Epic screamy from Montclair, NJ. They have a front girl chirping her heart out, which makes it that much better. The band is technical and innovative, while maintaining emo as a backbone for their sound. Their style is reminiscing of early screamo band, Anomie, from France, or Malaysian acts like Kias Fansuri, as well as fellow north-easterners, Suffix. Check it out, and if you know them, tell them to come to Florida!

Adobe Homes

Adobe Homes is a screamy punk band from Albaquerque, New Mexico. They sound like they are from New Mexico, their sound has their surroundings embedded to it, and their lyrics speak of it as well (read them at the bear records bandcamp). This is one of the most original bands I've heard. They have taken hardcore and made it their own. Angst, confusion, loss, and most importantly honesty is transmitted clearly through their sound. These guys have been playing punk for a while, and you can definitely tell that their sound as a whole is a product of close friendship and hard work. Support this band and reach out to them if their music comes to affect you in a positive way.



Piñata

Innurdz

New Innards is simply hope for the punk scene. Music from the heart. Short songs to the point and flowing in different directions seamlessly. Innards is a beast; look out for it.





I've Lost Everything

interskramz Volume II

interskramz Records is releasing a comp of modern screamy bands including well established acts such as Beau Navire, mnwa, Raein, The Saddest Landscape and more. My personal favorite tracks are by Lord Snow (ex: Suffix), Sjanse, Sloths, and  Angkor Wat. A band that I'm a part of, Junior Healy, is also featured in this release, which makes it really special to me. A real dream come true to be a part of something along with so many people that I really admire. Support DIY because it is fosters sharing and equality. The comp will be up for sale pretty soon at their webstore. Word spice.

Bay area punx. This shit is no joke, but don't take it from me; give it a whirl.

Fiction Like Non-Fiction

Legit screamo band from California. Youthful and genuine sounding with beautiful lyrics. The rest of their material is available for free download in their Last.fm page. I'm pretty sure the band has been inactive for a while now, which sucks 'cause this stuff is great. Please help yourself.

thediscordofaforgottensketch

The Discord of a Forgotten Sketch is a skramz band from Montreal, their style is jazzy and spastic. Ever since I heard their songs on the four way split with Beau Navire, Te LLoraria un Puto Rio, & Carrion Spring; I have been anxious to listen to more by these guys. This self titled album is refreshing in terms of contemporary skramz releases, picking up where "Le Deux" (4 way split) series left off. Check out their bandcamp; streaming the album is free and all it takes is a donation to be able to download the digital album, which is totally worth it.

Self Titled

Raven McCoy

Skramz band from Copenhagen Denmark, their sound is fast, tight, and super punk rock; reminiscent of A Corrosive Melody. This demo blew me away. The drummer, Niclas, hooked me up with lyrics to the demo which are posted under the comments section for this post; enjoy.

Tzadikim Nistarim

Pre-Adobe Homes screamo band, they have a slower and more toned down feeling to their sound. You can definitely hear the Adobe Homes style becoming fleshed out in this release; vocals guitars and drums. A tasteful seven inch, released in 2007.

Lyrics

Adobe Homes

Albuquerque has some harsh and frantic vibes keeping skramz on the o.g map. They have a split coming with Beau navire, which no question will be epic.

Ristra

Allegory Of The Cave

Allegory Of The Cave was a two piece screamo band from Orlando, their sound is very spazzy; they add lots of elements of from many genres to their songs. I found them in the emo apocalypse compilation; their track in there is incredibly tasteful, I don't know why i didn't research them before.

I Wrote Haikus About Cannibalism In Your Yearbook

This is a new release by the defunct, I Wrote Haikus About Cannibalism In Your Yearbook, all the songs from the demo have been redone and four new tracks are added to the line up; there is also a bonus track included. I love this band, their lyrics (embedded to the mp3's), and their youthful style, you should get a hold of this record asap.

Resurrectionists/Arse Moreira

I am sad to give you grind titans Arse Moreira's last tracks. These songs were supposed to go on a long awaited split with Louise Cyphre, but we can see that it is not going to happen. The tracks by Arse...

Beau Navire

After being a big fan of I Wrote Haikus About Cannibalism In Your Yearbook, and not having any new material for the longest time, i can at least take solace in listening to some new refreshing bay area tunes. This is Beau Navire, they have members of i wrote haikus... and Loma Prieta!

Australian skramz band, similar to Eucalypt and Quiet Steps.

This sounds so good. They broke up in 2008.

Lyrics

Boy Problems/Lautrec/ The Reptilian/Osceola

This is great American screamo; I love boy problems so much.

split

The Reptilian

Kalamazoo, Michigan melodic screamo; seems like the scene up in the Midwest has developed a more toned down and mathy brand of the genre, which really has captured me. It excites me to see genres being blended in new ways.

Boy's Life ep

Boys & Sex

Philadelphia melodic screamo, sounds fresh as produce section smells.

DEMO

Lyrics

Loma Prieta

San Francisco's finest, Loma Prieta, are on the forefront of contemporary skramz, all of their releases are great. They never stay the same, but they always stay true. the lyrics to this album are very cryptic, there is still a lot about them that i don't understand. they have a newer release called Dark Mountain, it's all worth checking out and definitely buying.
