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!

Gas Up Yr Hearse!

Punx gone ape shit from Illinois. Founded in 2011. The members are Pat, Kyle, Andy, Nelson, and Lucero. This band sounds like the offspring of The Locust and Calling Gina Clark. Here's some east coast dirt for you. Their bandcamp page shows the lyrics to their demo, which is pretty out of hand by the way. Makes you want to break some stuff, and practice blast beats. Support the punx, they do it for the love.

мища / Te Lloraría un Puto Río

One of my favorite releases this year. TLUPR is one of my favorite bands ever. Chaotic, groovy, driving, and they have that latin spice that gets the juices flowing. I also had the pleasure of hosting the dudes from MNWA here in Gainesville, during their summer tour. Needless to say they rip live, and are super sweet dudes. Friends For Life and La Flor put out the tape. Get it.

Friends For Life (Big Cartel)

tenthousandleagues

Ten Thousand Leagues is a punk band from California. They recently put out a summer tour demo. It is one of the most chaotic releases I've heard this year. Their other releases are awesome, all available for streaming at their bandcamp. You can also read the lyrics to their demo there. Check it.

Pill Church

Three piece of young punx from Gainesville, Fl. Bringing you a very abrasive demo. Less pose more pit.

Demo

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.

t̶o̶n̶g̶u̶e̶

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

Hot Cross

One of the most influential and original screamo bands, and one of my favorites, if not my favorite. Hot Cross was probably the first real screamo band i listened to.They are very inspiring musically and lyrically in my case. Their sound is characterized by mathy structures that shift from aggressive frustration to sluggish lament. Billy Werner's lyrics often speak of existential themes. They had several ep's and splits along with two full length releases; Cryonics being my favorite. They broke up after releasing Risk Revival in 2007.

Antilles

Antilles are a post-hardcore band from Cleveland, they have been around for a good bit and have put out some great material. I would compare them to Phoenix Bodies because of their constant gang/dual vocals, but they are not as punky, but rather melodic and at times post rocky.  My favorite releases have to be the split with Trifle Tower, and the split with Staph. They are supposedly working on a full length at the moment. All their releases are up for download at their tumblr page for free. They also have a bandcamp, which includes lyrics to many of their songs. Give them a try, reach out to them, and/or buy their material.

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

El Sueño Del Ranchero

Pre-Arse Moreia, chaotic grind-tech in the vein of, Calling Gina Clark and Louise Cyphre, but you already knew what to expect from the gnarliest grind titans this side of the Atlantic.

Demo

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.

Discography

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...

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.
