quick thought:
98% of the bands in this thread sound (to my ears, obvs) like the throwaway Victory bands that weren't super-bro hardcore.
Aping other musos but using the clean channel instead hardly constitutes a revival.
i love Bob, i just wish he would stop crooning all the time. I'm kind of interested in hearing his New(est?) band, Lifted Bells. It has members of Their / They're / There, Stay Ahead Of The Weather, etc. could be good.theavondon wrote:
At least we have Frame and Canvas. Also, everything that dude has done very recently has been BOOOOOOOOOOOORING.

As do I, I get pissed when i get "emo".OddKnowledge wrote:I dig Pg. 99 and City Of Caterpillar (and their various bands) and the more chaotic side of the genre.
Touche. They are given credit on wikipedia as one of the founders of screamo.RR Bigman wrote:Pg.99 is more screamo or "skramz" if you will.

Urban Dictionary wrote:1. skram
Skram is a corruption of the word screamo, first coined in 2004 by Alex Bigman, a.k.a. thebigmin, on the messageboard Cross My Heart With A Knife as a joke. Over time, people took it somewhat seriously, and has now come to be used as a less-commercially co-optable term for screamo, since that word has been bastardized into oblivion, used to describe any shitty whine-fest bands on MTV and the Warped Tour that incorporate maybe 30 seconds of screaming per song.
Typically, true skram records are pressed only on vinyl, with handmade covers, and in quantities of far less than 1,000.
Previous and less successful attempts to create a term that the mainstream media and major record companies would deem "too stupid" to steal and repackage included kittencore, and the more appropriate, kitten violence.
Superlatives:
-ultimate skram : literal meaning
-epic skram : skram that usually contains abrupt and extreme tempo and volume/distortion changes, nontraditional rock instrumentation (cellos, violins, trumpets, various other orchestral instruments), and other effects to heighten the "epic" feel of the song, these songs tend to be longer in length
-1337 skram : more obscure and elitist skram
-OOP skram : used for skram records that have gone out of print, but are still in demand, and hence, command a princely sum on eBay or board.vivalavinyl.org

-skramo
-SKR##M)
-teh screamies

I'd agree they get into that territory quite a bit, especially on the first album. This song especially hits me in the same spot as Jawbreaker and that's kinda how I classify music. But yeah that's the look I get whenever I express that opinion.Modest Mouse is emo?
