hm, bit too "modern screamo" for me.

here's 1 of the Portraits of Past songs from the split:

Orchid is some pretty crazy shit. I haven't listened to them in years to be honest but this thread got me looking back into them, good stuff.

haha, one of my favorite songs! Dance Tonight, Revolution Tomorrow is one of the best albums ever made

I'm not real big into the punk/metal type music as much anymore so I don't know exactly what you would classify as "real" screamo (barring the obvious modern scene crap) but Refused sounds very similar to what I would think to call screamo, though they're a bit groovier sounding I guess. They're at least one of the most influential punk bands but it seems they don't always get enough credit. Please correct me if it doesn't belong here haha.

Haha, glad I picked a favorite!

Heh, bringing up Refused is quite interesting. Althought I think theyre punk, i think theyre a big influence on the screamo scene. They have one song where the singer keeps screaming something for a while when the rest of the band already stopped playing, that moment is very screamo-like at least!

Many love if you know what song it is, because im dying to hear it again

"Althought I think theyre punk, i think theyre a big influence on the screamo scene."

Yeah, that's kind of along the lines of what I was thinking too. They aren't as abrasive sounding as straight screamo.

I think this is the song you're talking about? At the very end. I like this one a lot but it's probably their most well known song.

YES! Exactly what i meant. Remember seeing some live footage where it was a very intense moment. Thanks, hah!

Haha any time! Glad to post it, one of my oldest favorite tracks, haha.

Any other favorites besides Orchid and Refused?
