Samiam are a five-piece punk/emo band from Berkeley, California that formed in 1988 and are still active today. They are one of the longest-running and most consistent bands in their hemisphere, carving out a distinct sound with chunky, melodic guitars, a pumping rhythm section and impassioned vocals. Over the years they put 8 full-length albums alongside a multitude of other releases. The band has undergone quite a few line-up changes, with vocalist Jason Beebout and guitarist Sergie Lookboff being the longest-serving. In 1994, the band released Clumsy on Atlantic Records, which brought them some mainstream attention, though they subsequently began a long-standing relationship with Hopeless Records. As such, they are mostly known and renowned in emo and pop punk circles. They have been immensely influential, akin to bands such as Jawbreaker, Hot Water Music, and Fuel, which blended the energy of punk rock with melody and introspection. Admittedly, this is a band I do like a lot, but never dived super deep into, so I apologize if this is fairly vague and superficial. Having said that, when thinking of bands whose absence on here borders on criminal, Samiam are one of the first to come to mind. Enjoy!
