Six Brew Bantha
Six Brew Bantha are a grind-core band from Victoria, British Columbia. They play at face melting speeds. Their live act is super intense. I had the privilege of seeing them along with napalm raid at Wayward Council (RIP) here in Gainesville a couple of months back; they blew me away to say the least. These new tracks are going to be on two different splits the band will be putting out on the near future, they are incredibly abrasive to the ear canal. Check it.

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.

Short Stories About Their Distance
Screamy emo two-piece from Illinois. I have been listening to this demo non stop for a couple of days. Their sound is similar to that of 90's emo bands, it's got a lot a jazzy elements as well. They remind me a little of State Street Residential. The songs are super catchy and sound like they're really heart felt. I wish to see these guys in Florida sometime soon. They have 30 copies of the demo for sale, and it is also available for download at their bandcamp. You can name your own price, so if you can support these dudes.

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.
