Hardcore & Emo Recommendation Thread

I get bored of You And I pretty quickly to be honest.

Just realised the original post asked for specifically talented bands... I'd have to say CTTS too. Not that the bands I suggested aren't talented... Circle Takes the Square are just more technical.

OFF TOPIC:

Drew's (CTTS) cousin is retarded. I went on a date with her. She thinks her boyfriend's band is the best thing ever.

No I will not provide the link. I also just realized she's going to the same college as me. Lame.

ON TOPIC:

Zann and Anger Is Beautiful are two bands you should probably check out. Very heavy and intense German screamo.

Since someone mentioned Phoenix Bodies, I also would check out Textbook Traitors, Army of Flying Robots, Takaru, and A Light In the Attic.

Also Kite Flying Society and A Petal Fallen creates some pretty awesome textures in their music.

Alright so I am checking out a lot of bands. I will probably check out Circa Survive first since I have heard a lot about them.

And where the heck is Crowquill? I know he will give me like 5 billion suggestions.

Ethan actually doesn't listen to that much emo. I listen to too much but I don't rate technical skill (skill not important in a punk genre -no wai!) so I don't know if I'm of help. A Day In Black In White-My Heroes Have Always Killed Cowboys has some sick progressions.

It doesn't have to be technical, it just has to be either that or original to be talented IMO, which is why I asked for either original or technical bands.

Honestly, I don't think Circa Survive matches with any of the other bands, but people still dig them. Also honestly, if you're looking for a huge list of just screamo stuff, I can supply my own personal list. It seems people are going into that...But I'll try to stay on topic and stick with the more technical/mathy/progressive suggestions, I thought that's what you were aiming for.

Check out my suggestions last page....

"Majestic Blue" album by Sinking Steps... Rising Eyes is also a very, very progressive and unique album. It'd be classified under screamo, but personally I'd just call it a masterpiece

For fans of....music? hah.

A small band that was shortly-lived is also pretty insane as well. I love this band...Swedes. Their entire 4 song EP is up for download on their myspace. I hugely suggest the two songs "1987" and "Princess Pie" all 4 are good except "Al Gore" is my least favorite.
www.myspace.com/swedesband

Exit The King is also a shortly lived and unheard of screamo band with some insane mathy tech-metal riffs.
www.myspace.com/exittheking

besides those 2 great songs on the myspace, check out the song "ornothology" on the album
download their 5 song EP here: MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service
(usually I wouldnt post it here, but I don't think you'll find it many other places...)
