Trap Them-Almost Complete Disco.



Trap Them is a grindcore band from Salem, New Hampshire. They began as a side project for vocalist Ryan Mckenney (Backstabbers Inc.) and guitarist Brian Izzi (December Wolves). Since forming they have released two albums, Sleepwell Deconstructer and Seizures in Barren Praise, and three EP’s, Cunt Heir to the Throne, Séance Prime and Split with Extreme Noise Terror. Anyone digging the 90s swedish deathsound from the Sunlight studio should have a go at this.

Sleepwell Deconstructor

Seizures in Barren Praise


Another Breath-Not Now,Not Ever/Mill City


Too punk for the hardcore kids, too hardcore for the punk kids, too mainstream for the thrash kids, too thrashy for the mainstream kids, too droney for the straight forward kids, too straight forward for the droney kids, too depressing for the posi kids, too posi for the depressed kids. We are a bastardized version of everything you love and everything you hate. We are everything we love and everything we hate.

I Saw these guys in Erie PA Friday and it was so good def. support these guys

Lion of the North - The Compass Calls


Chaotic, honest, occasionally melodic, and now broken up.
Lion of the North released a single EP, “The Compass Calls”, and a split with Mans.


If this album isn't classic, i don't know what it. It has everything a screamo fan could want. Its fast, sometimes heavy, sometimes uplifting and melodic. This is a personal favorite of mine. Enjoy

The Blue Letter - Prima Facie


In a time when the hardcore scene has been confined to breakdowns and guitar squeals; and fashion has seemed to become more important than ideas and music, The Blue Letter challenges stereotypes and genre boundaries with explosive textured soundscapes. Their music is passionate and dynamic, layered with hoarse screamy vocals and soft interludes. As of August 4th,2007,The Blue Letter has begun the search for a new bass player.
The Blue Letter found a new bass player in 2008, Blake from Me and Him Call it Us “Blake from meandhimcallitus has joined the band playing bass. His move here from Atlanta, GA in February made the triforce complete, and so far our practices together have displayed a level of cohesion that not even The Blue Letter has ever experienced before.” - Blue Letter Myspace Blog

-Another really good post rock screamo CD. Moved in 98 is breath taking. The whole album is beautiful yet full of raw passion. People showing their love for this music by throwing everything they've got at it. Get this CD.

Mesa Verde - The Old Road


Formed in Paul’s Hall practice studio in Cumbernauld, Scotland in June 2004 and played first gig several weeks later with Yage in the Barfly in Glasgow on 7th August.

Recorded a demo CD with Tom Mitchell in his Perth living room in June 2005 and around 100 CDrs were made. They sold pretty quickly and “In This Silence We Will Slow Dance” is now out of print.

In spring 2006 recorded “Amor Fati” with Robin Sutherland in his home studio in Dundee, and co-released it on CD with Art For Blind records. This was followed by a summer UK tour with Amanda Woodward and Aussitot Mort.

New album “The Old Road” was released on 1st August 2008, released on 12” vinyl (with free digital download). The album was once again recorded by Robin Sutherland and released by Art For Blind Records.


Excellent post-rock screamo, this is a hard style to find and these guys do it really well. This album is beautiful, some of the riffs are God like. Check it

Graf Orlock-Destination Time Today


In late 2003 Graf Orlock formed as an answer to monotony of “heart felt” lyrics and “sincere” prose. By pushing the envelope of the “cinema-grind” genre, Graf Orlock balance on the illusory edge of relevance and complete absurdity, longing for the heyday of late 80s and early 90s action movies, and the artistry of thematic creativity contained therein. Exploring issues as wide spread as terrorism, cybernetic revolution, inter-planetary colonialism, and psychotic delusion, Graf Orlock investigate the nether regions of the human condition. Through the medium of film, they articulate an increasingly radical view of the world around them, forming a brutal social commentary of the dwindling present, and a speculatively pessimistic outlook of the future ahead.

Comadre-A Wolf Ticket


Comadre is a band from Redwood City (a suburb of San Francisco), California, comprising of former members of Heartcrosslove, One’s Own Ruin, and Light This City. Their sound is an off-shoot of hardcore and punk played fast and chaotic with an abundance of energy, but also a large focus on melody and tunefulness. Their influences can perhaps best be shown by the covers the band has performed live, by groups such as Rites of Spring, Refused, Kid Dynamite, and Suicide File.

Cap'N Jazz-Analphabetapolothology


Short-lived but highly influential, Cap’n Jazz helped transform emo from a deeply underground punk subgenre into a more widely accepted subset of indie rock.
