The Jesus Years

The Jesus Years were a four-piece math rock/emo band from Derby, England. They were around from 2004 to 2006, and in 2009 all four members (with the addition of one more) reunited to form the incredible Crash Of Rhinos. The band played an instrumental and technically intricate version of midwest emo, with clean guitars and some very athletic drumming. They only put out one EP and one split, not that there[s anything wrong with keeping a discography short and sweet. 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.

Crash Of Rhinos


Crash Of Rhinos were a five-piece emo/indie/math rock bands from Derby, UK that formed in 2009 and broke up in 2014. Their own description of themselves is "Five voices, two guitars, two basses, one drum kit. We made a racket". This is quite accurate. They had a huge sound, that bounced between a slew of genres, whether they be post-rock or post-hardcore, and anything in between. Crash Of Rhinos certainly encompass a lot of different stylings. They could easily garner interest in fans of the classic emo/indie bands such as Sunny Day Real Estate and Braid, the alternative rock of ...And You Will You Know Us By The Trail of The Dead, modern emo/post-rock bands such as Foxing, and even at times, could fit in with Title Fight-esque bands. Every member gets to shine, whether it be in a bass melody or a drum pattern. Not to mention there's the whirlwind of guitar and vocal sounds, that swell and swirl all over their songs. Their 2013 album, Knots, was put out by Topshelf Records, and in my opinion, is one of the best "emo revival" albums to ever come out. It's absolutely solid from start to finish, and each song shows off their musical and dynamic prowess. Definitely be sure to check this band out if you haven't already, they are absolutely incredible. Enjoy.
