AWESOME SONG

Nikad

Nikad from my homeland of Croatia is by far the best band you’ve never heard of. I’m serious, if this band was American you’d all be collecting their records, wearing their shirts and telling each other how cool you are for doing so. Say you like Orchid, Yaphet Kotto, Yage and Pg. 99, you’ll lap this up like mother’s milk. But all the sad cliches aside, it’s not often that you come across a group of people who are so incredibly nice and who play such inspired, frantic and fucked up hardcore. Cherish and behold. 

Biggest album cover I could find :(

Can't find a single video either, your just gonna have to trust me on this one. 

The Khayembii Communique

The Khayembii Communiqué was an underground hardcore / screamo band from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Although a trio, they manage to be more eminent than other hardcore / screamo bands. An ordinary song consists of the singer-guitarist, Mark Shaw screaming his emotions out while strumming furiously at his guitar and singer-bass player Brian Wilcox, utualizing the concept of the song with poppy bass lines and calm singing. They performed with bands such as Saetia and You & I in local basements and house shows. This is a truly amazing band. If you haven't heard these guys do yourself a huge favor and download this discography immediately.

AMAZING SONG

i'm trying too hard to forget to just be me.
forgetting to forget the imagined audience.
who i wish would understand me,
yet never know me.
because i can't bear to show what i don't know.
this is why i discuss trivialities.
this is why i seem so strong.
because my shell won't be cracked if i make sure you never find out how to.
yet i want to open up.
i want to see who i am.
i want to see.
but it terrifies me to think that maybe you love me for what i say and not who i am.
My politics just aren't me;
just another wall between you and i.
The select few who've seen through the facade,
i pushed away in horror.
afraid of what they knew.
i withheld so much about myself to keep a fucked-up advantage
and now i see i never had anything to gain.
so now there's no more trying to "Just be me".
no more hiding behind a language. just expose myself for what i've been;
a fraud,
cashing in on rhetoric
that i learned to abuse,
what i used to push you away.
that i used to win even though.. every single time i lost.
every single time.

3 Segundos Antes da Queda

3 Segundos Antes da Queda (3 Seconds Before the Fall) is a sadly defunct Brazilian screamo band from Brasília, DF. They released a 7-song demo in 2006 and broke up in 2008. That is basically all I can find out about this band, but they are so awesome. Give these guys a chance. Yeah, you can't understand their lyrics, but who cares right? It's the music and passion that really matters sometimes.

Saetia

Saetia was a screamo band from New York City that formed in early 1997. Their first show was at ABC No Rio to about thirty people. Two and a half years, 17 songs, numerous tours and four bass players later, Saetia played their final show at ABC No Rio to forty people. One of the greatest screamo bands of all time, these guys set the foundation for bands to come. If you've never heard these guys, crawl out of your shell and give them a chance. If you dig awesome 90's screamo I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Yaphet Kotto

Emotive Hardcore band from Santa Cruz, and then San Francisco, California. Active from 1996-2005. One of the greatest screamo bands of all time. I almost got the chance to see them a few years back, but they ended up not playing cause their singer got too drunk, one of the biggest bummers of my life. If you have never listened to this band, do yourself a favor and get everything they have ever created.

Another band that I've had the privilege to play with, hang with and rage with. Some of the nicest guys I've ever met. They set up shows at their house and play some of the best screamo coming from California hands down. This is their latest album Endship which blows me away every time. Support these guys and buy their shit : http://www.texastoastdiy.com/matsuri

Jeromes Dream

Jeromes Dream were an influential Connecticut screamo three piece, active from 1997 to 2001. The band had a unique vocal style - singer Jeff Smith opted not to use a microphone while performing live, instead screaming unamplified at the top of his lungs. The band was known for playing very short sets, usually no longer than 10 minutes. According to Smith, they thought 10 minutes was all they needed to get their point across. Amazing 90's era screamo band. Here's everything they did in 2 parts.

Orchid

Active from 1998 to 2002, Orchid was first and foremost a hardcore band. Orchid combined a post-modern aesthetic with hardcore punk. Orchid’s members more often cite the German bands Systral and Carol as influences, as well as the French philosopher Michel Foucault. This is one of the greatest screamo bands of all time.
