Re: Underrated Screamo Bands

Post by eatdogs »

Well, it seems I'm the new jack here. I thought my first post should be something like dropping various screamo bands I feel are underrated. I'll begin...

Jenny picolo
Honeywell
Shikari
Little rock nine (female fronted. Vocals that shred and vibrate to the point of hurting. Kind of like jeromes dream...)
Death wish kids
Angel hair
Yaphet kotto


I expect most of these to possibly fall under the 90's emo tag, but they're pretty legit in either genre I suppose...

all legit, but I wouldn't say underrated. well i suppose it depends what circles you are in/who you talk to.

EDIT: I totally just went through this whole thread, never mind my comment above.

Yaphet kotto were so awesome. I might be wrong, but I think the singer went on to sing in the band ricky fits. He was also in Franklin I believe...

Not sure if anyone mentioned them but Cowboys Became Folk Heroes are amazing, picked up their self-titled LP recently and I love it! Another underrated band is Love Lost But Not Forgotten; I think their stuff is fantastic!

I'm pretty sure none of the many members that were in Yaphet Kotto we're ever in Franklin and I don't think anyone in Yaphet Kotto was in a band called Ricky Fits.

Here is a list of bands that members of Yaphet Kotto were in:
Look Back and Laugh
Saviours
Bread and Circuits
Struggle
Swing Kids
The Anasazi
The Encyclopedia of an American Traitor
Makara
Jenny Piccolo
