Making this thread because there is a lot of great stuff coming out in this city, as well as the Greater Toronto Area (props to some of the Suburban homies). I wanted to make a thread on here compiling some of the best this city has to offer, so if there's anyone else from around here who wants to post something I missed (I'm sure I've missed tons), I want to know about it! I'm also including some not-so-skramz bands with members who are insanely influential to skramz. Thanks

FOXMOULDER: A Matt Far, featuring Matt Skrambach Moshigan Legend (also in emo trendsters DELO TRUDA and sick poop-punksters SPEARHEAD, Selvin "I mosh hard" Cunningham and Rohan "why must I cry" 50 Skramz legendary Pizza mans)

DELO TRUDA: They're basically from Toronto now. Not much new stuff available online, but here are links to a sick teaser and one of my favourite split releases ever (with the now defunct RAMON GRIS who later became THE YEAR IT BROKE)

There are tons more. Peace Be Still are also excellent, and we have the motherfucking jammers in Animal Faces too. But I'm in a rush and can't link 'em. We have a good scene going here and I can't wait until I get my lazy ass in a band to contribute more.
