When you're not listening to emo, you're listening to...
 

Besides the emo genre, what do you listen to that you absolutely love? Rap, indie, "nu-emo?">?. I've come up with a list of bands that aren't emo, but they're definitely worth checking out. Though they may not have the usual screaming, I guarantee you'll enjoy these bands and their mp3s.

Divine Endings. Local band. But f-ing incredible. I think even Frost would like. And we all know how hard that is.

a few songs have mumbled words.


I'm not a huge emo fan but:

Between The Buried And Me (chaotic metal/hardcore)

Light This City (very solid metal)

Aiden (pop punk in the vein of MCR, what can i say, they're catchy)

Damien Rice (acoustic crooner)

The Mars Volta (if don't know them than get a life)

The Black Dahlia Murder (deathmetal/deathmetal/deathmetal)'

a nice mix

yeah, the singer (drummer) duct tapes a phone reciever/mic to his face. he sometimes wears a mask for it.
