We Came Out Like Tigers

We Came Out Like Tigers were a four-piece screamo band from Liverpool, UK that began in 2008 and broke up in 2014. Though they only put out a small amount of work, they're best remembered as one of the most distinct and unique voices to come out of "screamo" in the past decade or so. They laid their foundation in the influence of bands like Funeral Diner, while adding layers of sound through a plethora of other influences. Most notably, they utilize the tremolo-picking and blast beats of black metal. They also show hints of post-rock influence in the song structures and some of the quieter moments. Additionally, a violin is featured fairly prominently on most of their tracks, which surprisingly fits perfectly, and adds an orchestral element to their already gargantuan sound. Their discography is small but virtually perfect, with their sole LP Agelessness And Lack being a standout. Enjoy.

itoldyouiwouldeatyou

itoldyouiwouldeatyou are a 7-piece indie/punk/emo band from London, England that began in 2014. Following a string of singles and EP's, the band are finally gearing up to release their debut album, Oh Dearism this month. They've built a solid following through their charismatic sound, which blends the bright, twinkly guitars of midwestern emo with the energetic sensibilities of pop punk fused with some heavy lyrical depth. Sonically, they can be compared to bands like Say Anything, Joyce Manor, Mom Jeans., Brave Bird, Free Throw, and Midwest Pen Pals, or something along those lines. The two singles already released from their LP, "Gold Rush" and "Get Terrified" are fan-fucking-tastic, and hopefully a good indication of what a good and unique album it will be. It might be a little premature to say, but this band is probably going to blow up (as they have been rapidly for a while now). They're a new, fresh, talented and positive voice for the "scene" (take that as you will), and I'm not nothing but excited to see how far they're going to go. Enjoy.

Chalk Hands

Chalk Hands are a four-piece screamo/post-hardcore band from Brighton, UK that formed in 2017. They released a two-track EP last year, Burrows & Other Hideouts that has garnered quite a bit of attention for its seamless blend of post-rock melody and atmosphere, post-hardcore's technical prowess and non-linear song structure, and screamo's intensive vocals and chaotic instrumental collisions. This band has come out of the gate with two hard-hitting, experimental and forward-thinking tracks, carving out their own corner in the screamo/hardcore/whatever world. They've apparently been active in working on new material, which is something to definitely look out for, because based on their debut alone, Chalk Hands are going to do great things. Enjoy.

The Sylvia North Story

The Sylvia North Story is a Norwich, UK-based two-piece screamo project created by the same members of Algae Bloom, Matt and Leigh. The concept of this project is to write and record a 4-song EP once a month. In about 2-3 hours, each project is conceptualized and documented, without retrospective additions or edits.

This is an incredibly interesting songwriting exercise, and makes for some intriguing songs. Though their sound is based in screamo (they are the Algae Bloom guys, after all), they throw in what they please, whether it be a vocal snippet, or a healthy dose of wah-wah. This is a no holds-barred, raw project that really captures the immediacy of screamo. This is an exclusively recording project so they don't tour or play shows. Definitely recommended to check out and continue following. The best place to start with these guys is definitely v, and then work your way backwards. Enjoy.

Algae Bloom

Algae Bloom are a two-piece screamo/emo band from Norwich, UK that have been around since 2014. You may recognize from the incredible split they put out with Foxtails last month, and since their back catalogue is just as good, I figured I'd feature it all here. They play a fantastic blend of math-y midwestern emo and screamo, with relatively clean and melodic guitar work, but absolutely throat-shredding vocals akin to the most violent of screamo bands. This combination makes them a must-listen for fans of Merchant Ships and other bands associated with that sound. Algae Bloom have such a captivating energy to them, paired with solid songs and musicianship. Highly recommended. Enjoy.

Boston Manor

After months and months of constant requests for this band, I finally caved and decided to do them (that's what she said). Basically these guys are a five-piece pop punk/emo band from Blackpool, England that formed in 2013, and have been on the rise ever since. Their debut album came out last year on Pure Noise Records, and it seems to have been very well-received. This band is for fans of other modern pop punk giants, such as Neck Deep, Trash Boat, Seaway, State Champs and such. They've also got a tinge of emo influence, and some slightly more aggressive vocals, which definitely makes Boston Manor stand out as a band of their own. As you guys know, I'm not a huge fan of this kind of sound, but can't deny they're a talented band, and I'm sure a ton of you will dig this. Enjoy.

Thisismenotthinkingofyou

Thisismenotthinkingofyou is a screamo/emoviolence project from Derby, England, created by Shaun Hancock, who is also its sole member. Since 2015, he has put out a slew of releases of intensive music in the vein of modern screamo legends such as Loma Prieta and Beau Navire. They're shrill and chaotic, and continue to improve with each release. The "skramz" name matches the sincerity of this project's ferocity. Or something like that. Enjoy.
