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.

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

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.

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

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.
