Amygdala


Amygdala are a five-piece hardcore band from San Antonio, Texas that began in 2014. Beginning with a self-released tape, they have continually grown with staunch DIY values and a very vocal powerful political message, which is just as crucial to this band as their music. They give a voice to oppressed and marginalized people, including people of colour, members of the LGBTQ community, and women, by directly addressing very current issues affecting these individuals, and relay that message through their lyrics and at their shows. It's a crucial part of the band, and one that makes them one of the most important hardcore bands in recent years. Not to mention, their music is incredible and extremely intense, and blends together elements of early metalcore and screamo through a distinctly hardcore lens. They recently released their newest album on legendary metal label Prosthetic Records, which will hopefully put this band on a much wider radar, because they deserve to be heard. Enjoy,
