I'm having a hard time getting into some of the screamo
 

I'm very open to music and I can appreciate a lot of this screamo but I'm having problems really enjoying a lot of it.

Currently, I'm into a lot of the post-hardcore that many on here don't like. Bands like

Saosin (with Anthony Green, not as much with Cove, they went too mainstream)
Thursday
Chiodos
The Sounds of Animals Fighting
At the Drive In
Refused
and I used to be into Silverstein, Senses Fail, and Hawthorne Heights but I outgrew all three to an extent

As for the more screamo, as soon as I found it, I've been addicted to Lion of the North. I also like You and I (143 is one of my favorite songs ever). I can listen to Hot Cross, Saetia, and Circle Takes the Square but not for long periods of time. All three of the are very borderline for me.

What are some bands (or maybe more accessible songs from the more hardcore bands) that are more like You and I and Lion of the North that I can listen to? It seems like I can reach into the genre and pull some amazing songs out but I can never stay for long.

Some good post-hardcore there (mainly ATDI, Refused, and Thursday).

I admit, I haven't listened to You and I or LOTN, but an accessible band that a lot of people seem to enjoy is Envy, which I also enjoy. A more conventional screamo band that I find accessible as well is I, Robot.

Also check: MySpace.com - Caitlyn Bailey - DC, Region XI - Punk / Soul / Thrash - www.myspace.com/caitlynbailey
You can download their EP free, and the screamer is a member of Musicbanter.

I'm no screamo expert, though.

check out On the Might of Princes

wow they're really good, thanks

And as for Envy, I have the split with Thursday. They're ok, not as chaotic screamo which is nice, but the screamer turns me off of them. Very annoying.

I'd still go for I, Robot. Some clean singing in one or two songs you might like. They're pretty solid.

Welcome to the club. :tramp:

Envy is hard for me to listen to for long periods of time, and I'm not much of a CTTS fan, but Suis La Lune are probably my favorite screamo band so you should check them out, not that I know much about screamo.

haha, I AGREE!@ Thank you,

but check out Kodan Armada, I know you will like them. Also check out Cowboys Became Folk Heroes. Those screamo bands you listen to now are what a lot of people listen to when they first get into it, it kind of grows on you I guess. I dont know, I always loved listening to love like...electrocution and then pretty much everything else I found after that was awesome. different for everyone, but yea, check out kodan...also check out d'amore. They have a wide array of sounds and they sing and I made a myspace for them haha.

myspace.com/damoreband

new CB songs next month!

anyway, for thread starter:

Yaphet Kotto
Suis La Lune's Heir ep
Sed Non Satiata
Daitro
1000 Travels Of Jawaharlal
80:85
End Of A Year

try those out. they're pretty accessible.

try these bands

make me
kidcrash
la quiete
i have dreams

We have very similar tastes. On the Might of Princes is a good pick, Caveman.
I was going to suggest Boy Problems, but I started to second guess that a little. You might want to check them out anyway.

edit: long song names really stretch out the last.fm signatures don't they?

listen to I Hate Myself, I think youll like them

If you like Refused then I think you would like Blindside and possibly Showbread. But, if you listen to Showbread check out their first two albums before you listen to their two newest ones. But also be warned they are a Christian band and some of their songs are very Christ oriented yet they are still very open minded. Their lead singer is a huge horror film fan and so a lot of their songs are about zombies and stuff like that.

Also another thing you should know about Showbread and Blindside; they don't actually sound like Refused.

I saw showbread live once a long time ago...ew

i thought we were talking about screamo?

I Would Set Myself On Fire for You.
The end.

They aren't identical. But with Blindside if you listen to A Thought Crushed My Mind you will hear some similarities as far as music goes. Not necessarily in vocals. And with Showbread Josh Dies scream sounds a lot like the guy from Refused. Actually Josh has said he modeled his scream from the guy from Refused. Plus Showbread uses a lot of synth stuff like Refused did on A Shape of Punk to Come.

Now also I am basing this off the only Refused album I have and that is A Shape of Punk to Come.
