Inkwell

Inkwell were a four-piece screamo/emo/hardcore band from Atlanta, Georgia that were around in the mid 90's, but I can only confirm they were active in 1995 and 1996 before they broke up. As expectedly short-lived as they were, they managed to put out a handful of incredible tracks in that timespan. Taking their cues from bands such as Heroin and Indian Summer, they perfected the loud/quiet dynamic and vocal shredding of early emo/screamo that would define bands such as Saetia not too much later on. Luckily they uploaded their discography to Bandcamp in 2017 so it is readily available, but I also included links here for the hell of it. Enjoy!
