Good screamo bands (lyrics, dance, pop, punk, rock)

A_Perfect_Sonnet · 05-01-2006, 12:24 PM

I can't really think of more than a handful of bands I prefer over CTTS. There are definitely better guitarists as far as the emo genre is concerned (Hot Cross being one), but Drew managed to put out so much emotion even when they were a three piece, that it's hard to match up to the pure talent and energy they throw into a once fairly underappreciated genre. We all know that true emo will never be recognized in the mainstream due to labels like Victory Records miseducating the already miseducated public, but they still draw in fans, who, honest to god, still think Hawthorne Heights is an emo (let alone good) band. At least it's a start.

Man I cannot wait for my Funeral Diner and Welcome the Plague Year cds to arrive. Anyone have a place you can order La Quiete from?

I've never understood why As the Roots Undo gets so much praise, it just sounds like your typical Screamo to me. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, but I don't really see how they stand out from the crowd.

bogus man eff i mean saetia ha they are nothing more than an edgy saosin their screams arent bad their music is ok but their lyrics all sound trite and pop punkinsh i mean "there is no happy here" come on thats something that like hawthorne heights should be writing i do have mad respect for city..... but still CTTS came along and just demolished the scene with the roughest music since orchid and lyrics that seem to have some deeper meaning than well my girlfriend just dumped me time to write a blatently obvious song about it.....i mean CTTS has got what it takes i mean they arent my fave band i dont really even like the screaming scene much but still they are impressive

I am the horizon.
I have dreamed of tracing rings around this world.
My arms are stretched to forever.
My fingers shake with the fear of control.
The fear I know you all know so well.
We all lay claim to our destinies.
Yet we all rise and fall with the current.

Yep, those lyrics are whiny hawthorne heights esque writing about a breakup.
