there are a lot of screamo bands that stick to their octave chords like metalcore acts stick to their breakdowns. and oh my geez solid state signs the best bands, probably my favorite label!!!! I like the bands that are still characterized as being a specific genre but gravitate away from the things that make that genre a stereotype. I personally cant stand the overuse of the ochtave chord just like I cant stand gratuitous breakdowns. Heavy Heavy low low is a popular band that a lot of people with tastes in the metalcore scene listen to. Bands that are mainly about playing octaves and breakdowns in their songs have little talent and are merely a novelty in their given scenes. Heavy Heavy Low Low isnt all about breakdowns even though most people that listen to them are only interested in their breakdowns haha. They have untraditional time signatures and chords for the scene that they are thrown into. I think a lot of people dont like them and call them generic because theyre associated with the bandana and ammo belt wearing, two stepping throwdown hxc dancing crowd. Gawd I dislike a lot of metalcore though, its become some new form of disco. I guess thats why As The Sun Sets stopped playing breakdowns nonstop after Each Individual Voice Is Dead.
