So i listened to the Hercules & Love Affair album, and i said, "Hey Pete, that Hercules & Love Affair album is absolutely gash!" He said, "I thought you listened to Screamo, don't you like gay music?" I couldn't help but laugh, not only at his quick wit, but also at how misguided he truely is. Screamo gets a bad reputation because of gash like Enter Shikari jumping about with their NES controller belts and straightened hair.
This is a education in screamo. REAL Screamo, GOOD Screamo... Well it's the start of an education at least.
Daïtro – Laisser vivre les squelettes
- French skramz. Fucking epic opener and never lets up for a second. I don't speak french but this guy could be whining about his fucking dinner being cold for all i care, he does it well.
ENVY - All the Footprints You Left Behind and the Fear Expecting Ahead
- "Whatever Dicko, i listen to Mogwai and follow Rock Action records religiously, I know all about ENVY and how Rock Action distribute them..."
SHUT UP! If you are a sucker for instrumental music then ENVY are a great starting point for screamo. Oh yeah and they're fucking AMAZING! Just give A Cradle of Arguments and Anxiousness a listen if you don't believe me. (password for ENVY is: pleaseblowmymind.blogspot.com)
Mesa Verde - Amor Fati
- We've all been there. Your friend texts you, "Hey! My band are playing tonight, come see us" and your left thinking, "well, they're alright, but i gave them a fiver last week, and Dr Who is on..."
Then this happens. All of a sudden you realise your friends with people who are genuinely amongst the best in their genre. I'm going to use this description purely because i know they're fucking sick of it. Imagine Mono merged with ENVY...
...oh yeah, and they've supported both those bands in Glasgow. Have you done that? Not fucking likely! Their new EP should be out soon, and apparently it's going to be a beast.
If you like this then you should check out Sinaloa, Ampere and La Quiete. You know how to use sordo by now i'm sure.
YAS!

I mean... its still a bit gay though isn't it? ;)
and also, the hercules and love affair album is really crap isn't it? Blind is good, but could get old pretty quickly the rest of it just didn't do anything but bore me.
AND I LOVE DISCO!
Yeah, it really is boring and annoying.
Also, yeah screamo is pretty gay, but fun. Listen to the opening track of the Daitro album. It's epic, honest.
i promise to give it a go when i get home.
you coming to get drunk all dressed up on monday in the halt?
