Screamo and emo.

[triplexpac]

God, I hate all the splitting of hairs within genres. But aaaanyways, here's some bands that you may like.

Belvedere: Haven't heard a lot from them, but Closed Doors is a cool song.

From First to Last: Kiss me, I'm Contagious, Ride the Wings of Pestilance are both good songs.

Hawthorne Heights: Ohio is for Lovers, Dissolve and Decay

Hidden in Plain View: Halycon Daze, Ashes, Ashes

Moneen: Are We Really Happy?, Start Angry... End Mad.

That's mostly songs from their new album "From Under The Cork Tree" and they have turned to... taking much longer names for their songs. The next band... I don't know IF you can classify them, they're so unique, but I am going to throw it out there anyways.

Blood Brothers:

Love Rhymes With Hideous Carwreck (Y)

Ambulance vs. Ambulance

Fucking Greatest Hits

Actually, are 36 Crazyfists emo? I don't care, but listen to them.

Nope, they fall into the numetal genre. One of my favorite bands, BTW.

Arguably, thier second album could be conisidered nu-metal with slight emo-ness, although not in the downright sappy way that most of the bands on these lists are. Good band, one of my faves also, I'd recommend them even to an emo fan.

And all genres these days, IMO, are full of shit bands, with the ratio between shit and good being way, way in favour of the shit. Its because there are too many labels willing to sell any old shit (underground-wise), and there are a lot of bands chosen on what they can sell, rather than talent (commercial-wise)

[tristy]

I don't care if you don't like them, Thursday did a good cover of Ný Batterí by Sigur Rós.

People keep slagging on screamcore, but seriously, when any new genre picks it up it is instantly demonized by people who don't like it. No one liked metal at first. No one liked punk at first. No one liked rap at first.

And really, as much as I don't really like bands like Brand New, Thrice and Thursday, they are pretty good at what they do. And for every Brand New and Thrice there is are good screamcore bands. And, one other thing... Much Music here in Canada has a huge hard-on for bands like Alexisonfire. And as much as the screaming bothers people, the shit is catching on with the kids. And if that stops them from listening to Backstreet Boys or 50 Cent... well, than I guess I'll keep buying their music and requesting their videos.

[Summers]

Brand New and Thrice.. ARE good. :\

Much Music also has a boner for Simple Plan.... But yeah, Alexisonfire owes a a lot to Much Music and I actually thank the station for introducing me to the band.

And while I don't listen to Brand New, I do like Thrice very much.

I wasn't making fun of Brand New, Thrice and Thursday. They just aren't my thing. Ok, I did love that Brand New song Sic Transit Gloria... ok, I do like Brand New. But Thrice and Thursday just aren't my thing... but I tell everyone I know to check them out. Because they are more mainstream friendly than say... Underoath.

[Summers]

I'd say Underoath could easily be more mainstream than Thrice, sound wise.

[Guest Bas]

In any event, and I don't want to sound like some elitist fuck, but Thrice, Thursday, the new Alexisonfire and Brand New are all far from Screamo, just like about almost every other "Screamo" band people have listed thus far (with the exception of Circle Takes the Square, Usurp Synapse and some others).

Really, just listen to something like Page 99, and then listen to Thrice, and try to find the similiarities. There are basically none.

Oh, but the second part of my list are screamo (or any if its related genres) bands as well. It's just that the first part of the list are my favorite bands in that genre, and while the bands in the second part of the list are good too, I just don't like them as much.
