After School Knife Fight-Jousting With The Intent Of Hurting People

ASKF-JWTIOHP.
Christ, that's  long acronym. Well, when I first started to get into this ever so beautiful genre of music, this was one of the bands I was determined to find. However, to no avail, were there mediafire's of this album.
ASKF released this EP/Demo/Albumwhatever, and that's it. Like all great screamo bands, albeit it a cliche now, they don't last too long. Jousting is a rather hardcore album, very angry. Y'know the guy who kicks shit around the government office buildings in your neighborhood? No? Maybe just where I live we have  these lunatics then..
Well that's how this album sounds. Angry, mad, MOTHERFUCKING I'M GONNA RAPE A BABY AND OTHER HORRIBLE, DESPICABLE THINGS!!!11!1!11!!11!!!
Ha, I enjoyed typing that. But, not only is it short, fast, hardcore and furious, it also has a very experimental touch to it. There's plenty unorthodox guitar playing method's in here. So, if your in the mood for some angry, baby raping, guitar experimentation. Give this album a look see now.

Chaos Is Me





Big fucking album cover, right? It deserves to take up that much space. This album is the epitome of what east coast screamo was. Fucking fast, incoherent, powerful, philosophical, pant creaming, ear jizzing, throat raping, utter orgasm. The riff's, in the songs where you can understand, are tasteful, fast, thrashy. There's a violin/cello/somefuckingclassicalinstrument that builds up the intro of the album. The drums are powerful and sound very grindcoreish. Here, take Anal Cunt, Sodom, and Angel Hair and mix it into an album and you get this. Oh, throw in some Saetia and Freidrich Nietzcshe too.
Essential screamo, download NOW.

Oh, yeah. Watch for the last track. You'll enjoy it.

I Hate Myself's 10 Songs

This album. This album, dear readers, Is truly amazing. Sure, the whole band was ironic. They were today's hipsters musically before their time. But that doesn't take away from the amazing, depressing, powerful aurora of this album. Jim Maurburger has that nasally, on the verge of crying voice that makes you feel the "pain". Someone once said Rites Of Spring was better than Fugazi because Guy actually sounded hurt and wounded on it. I don't recall whom it was, but you get that feeling from this album. There's no overabundance of screaming, its not ridiculously hardcore, it's just a great emo/screamo album.
Tons of emotion, tons of power, hell. It got me into the genre.
Steal this album, everyone, you won't be disappointed.

Double Post

Sorry 'bout that shit yo.
 Mozilla crashed on me so I wrote two reviews for the ACOG album.
Oh, yeah. Not exactly screamo but a great band  just found none the less.

A Case Of Grenada "Hell Is Actually All Around"

FUCK! Just when I finished typing this, Mozilla crashed. Ballsacks, dude. Shit sucked. Anyways, this album.


This. Fucking. Album.
Way to break the boundaries, you guys. This album instrumentally fits more into the Dinosaur Jr. category than Screamo. No crescendo's, no powerful drumming. Nothing. Dude, like. I swear to god I'm trying to pin a comparison to this, but I can't. It is not like anything in the screamo genre. Its not particularly unique either, if that makes sense. CTTS? La Dispute? No, none of them. ACOG sound like them. Not a screamo band, they sound like them. The lyrics are even whimsical and the word play is queer in the vein of Syd Barret.
It's a very instrumentally driven album. The drumming is subtle and technical, the bass is groovy and big on the mix, there's a lot of memorable bass lines on here. And the guitar work really pushes the album along welly.
I can't pinpoint this, but I can say downfuckingload it now.

A Case Of Grenada "Hell Is Actually All Around"


Normally, I know where to start with bands. A comparison, description, but I can't. ACOG sounds like nothing in the screamo genre, there's no crescendo's, no overly powerful drumming, no muffled bass and no thrashy, crust guitar. It sounds very familiar though, just not to anything I've ever heard in this genre. I guess, Circle Takes The Square? La Dispute? Not even those bands, its very unique. Guitar driven, easy going.  But the bass plays a key role in this album, very memorable basslines.  Honest to god, It shares no similarities to any screamo band I've listened to, christ. Outside of its ridiculous, whimsical word play and lyricism, nothing. Closer to old indie pr alternative bands if anything. Just, go download it now and see for yourself.

One Eyed God Prophecy

For those of you into tracing your favorite bands back to every influence they had, you'll know about this band. For the average listener? Maybe not. OEGP was a Canadian Hardcore/Screamo band that greatly influenced Orchid. Hell, the first track screams Orchid all over it. Its jam-packed with crescendos and powerful drumming, yes. But one unique thing I liked about this band was how sludgy their riffs are, and how bass heavy it is compared to most bands in the vein of them. The drumming is powerful, there's samples of french in it, god knows what though, probably a philosopher. All in all this band is a very good find, powerful guitars, hard drumming, slower, acoustic parts and kooky synth passages.

Go ahead and give it a download, yo.
