The End Of The Century Party

The End Of The Century Party were a four-piece screamo/hardcore band from Tampa, Florida that began in 1993 and broke up in 1999. They released one LP and a handful of 7"'s, which is pretty standard for a band in the scene they were kicking around in (which is the same scene that birthed Palatka. They were one of the earliest examples of emoviolence, a sound blended hardcore (and what would later become "screamo") with powerviolence influences, making their songs incredibly short, sharp and spastic outings. All their material was compiled on a discography release in 2004, which is what's below. Enjoy.

Reversal Of Man

Reversal Of Man were a screamo/hardcore band from Tampa, Florida that began in 1995 and disbanded in 2000. It is my absolute delight to realize one of the most quintessential "screamo" bands have not been posted on here yet, and I can share their discography before this decade ends. It's another reminder that there is truly an endless amount of material to be posted, even if its this late in the life of this blog. Reversal Of Man are an incredibly influential act, who blended the developing sounds of hardcore, powerviolence, grindcore, emo, post-hardcore and screamo into their own niche blend. This developed in a non-existent Florida scene, or at least one that allowed for the progressive and forward-thinking political statements RoM set out to make (especially in regards to the emerging neo-Nazism perceived in the punk scene).

To this day, they stand as one of the most talented, prolific, and influential bands of their genre, and are undoubtedly vital in developing the sound we've all come to know and love. They had a lengthy discography spanning multiple splits and various releases, but the majority is readily available below. Most notably it includes an EP and an LP (Revolution Summer and This Is Medicine respectively), in addition to a semi-full compilation aptly titled Discography which includes all tracks released in their tenure, aside from the aforementioned releases. They also released a posthumous split with fellow Florida natives Combatwoundedveteran, in which both sides are worth your time to listen to. Like I said, I can't believe I have yet to post a band I consider "essential" to the genre, and I thoroughly hope you enjoy. There's also a great (albeit brief) retrospective here, which includes some breakdowns of their most well-known tracks.

Combatwoundedveteran

Combatwoundedveteran were a five-piece screamo/grindcore band from both Ithica, New York, and Tampa, Florida that were around from 1996 to 2003. They were associated with No Idea Records, and are known for putting out splits with some other incredible bands (Orchid, Reversal Of Man), as well as being incredible on their own. They played short bursts of violent, noisy screamo, which dipped into emoviolence and grindcore. Their entire discography was compiled in 2005, though also I included their sole LP, I Know A Girl Who Develops Crime Scene Photos if you wanted it on its own. Update: Added an EP and two splits. Enjoy.
