125, Rue Montmartre

125, Rue Montmartre was a German lo-fi emo band.
They played in a style like Promise Ring or Mineral,
but I like this more than those bands for some reason.
It's probably becuase they have a female vocalist,
which works better with this style I guess.
It's also a bit more upbeat with these vocals,
almost like an indie pop band

The Whoopass Girls

Really lo-fi, heartfelt skramz from Montana. It looks like they named themselves after the original name for The Powerpuff Girls, which makes them all the more lovable. You can name your own price for their debut, check it out. The singer/guitarist's favorite color is red. Enjoy! - Jamie/khfreek

Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains

Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains are a folk-punk band from Vermont. They sound like Andrew Jackson Jihad but all the more emotionally raw. Lyrics are often dealing with being alone, being poor, and getting drunk. Listen if you're sad and want to feel more sad. This is their album Love Songs for the Apocalypse. Enjoy! - Jamie/khfreek

For Want Of

For Want Of is a thrashy screamo band from Austin, Texas
and feature members of Chest Pain and probably many other bands.
Besides the old school emo influence (shown by their name),
they take a technical guitar style from Hot Cross and Drive Like Jehu,
but also have that fast hardcore speed and intensity.
They have three vocalist, each providing a different style.
One does a shouting, another sings, and another does higher pitched screams, and each is featured pretty evenly on each track.
The lyrics seem to deal with death, being bummed, and wanting a better future.
Definitely a band to get you stoked on the future of screamo.

innards

Its been a long time since I made a screamo post, and the band that goes along with the screamo comeback is named innards.They hail from Ft. Worth and features members of Jubilee, Zwounds and Nouveux Riches.
They play a very harsh, chaotic style of screamo, but also take the time to include sweet noodly parts, that are as well written as everything else, even more so on the new full length. The drumming is super chaotic and all over the place, and its awesome.
On the demo there's more parts of fast screamo intensity, and featured a high pitched "jeromes dream style" screamer, but the other vocalist is super emotional, and does more of a yell.
The full length features only the emotional vocalist and it still sounds amazing, along with only having one vocalist they include many more noodly parts, but still have all the chaos and intensity.
Each release also features one sing-along song, but its all good to sing along to

They are looking for help to put out their full length out on 10"
they will also be tour with мища sometime soon

Football, etc.

Football, etc. is an indiemo band from Houston, Texas.
The band features Lindsay and Mercy of Tin Kitchen from NJ.
They are very often compared to 90's emo legends such as
American Football, Rainer Maria, and Mineral,
but they also add something to the sound that you dont hear often.
I dont know if its the basslines, fun and energetic,
Lindsay's singing and her twinkly picking and lively strumming parts,
or maybe its the entire function, the group as whole.
But maybe still its just the football jokes.

Be sure to look out for the full length coming soon on CYLS
