Skramz • Page 4

I get that. For me it depends what I'm looking for. I find Self Portrait more memorable, but I.V. kicks my face in. It's my "god damn it I hate vacuum cleaning"-record.

Regardless, Last City is my favourite.

 

last city def my fav

 

eeeeh I don't know that one

o_o

 

Go listen to it right away. It's the best.

 

it's more skramzy than their later stuff

 

Dark Mountain is a must listen to also.

 

This band followed me on Instagram so I decided to check them out.

Not really a skramz type band but thought some of you might enjoy them.

 

Can't resist imagery like that!

EDIT: Rips. Thanks, man!

 

Self Portrait is great. I.V. is Loma's worst record by a long shot (unpopular opinion?). I dunno, I've loved this band since "Our LP is Your EP" and that little power violence phase they explored with I.V. just missed the mark for me really hard (and that time is also the worst they've sounded live, too).

In other news, saw City of Caterpillar on Saturday night and man, they were so good.

 

I really like I.V.


Life/Less is by far my least favorite by LP.

 

Maybe it's the political situation, but I've been going back and listening to a lot of the old classics from this genre - if only I could find new bands that sound like/are as good as Yaphet Kotto, Off Minor and Hot Cross. Skramz is in desperate need of a 'revival'.

 

Thomas Schlatter from The Assistant/You and I has a new band and it's every bit as good as you would expect:

 

I personally love where screamo is at the moment. Sweden, at least, has a remarkable screamo scene.

 

Fuckkkkkk yesssssss I love You and I

 

care to recommend a couple of Swedish albums?

 

My favourites from the last few years are:
Suis la Lune - Riala
Trembling Hands - Self titled
Shirokuma - Sun Won't Set (!)
Rainmaker - Alienation
Vi som älskade varandra så mycket - Den sorgligaste musiken i världen (!!!)

Also Careless, Young Mountain, Heart on My Sleeve, all defunct. Most are homogenically post-rock tinged, but I don't mind that at all.

 

Suffocate for Fuck Sake's new album was fantastic as well.

 

Hell yesss. Didn't think of that one!

 

thank you - will check them out

 

There's Oak as well. Dropped a few days ago, and it rips.

 

New Shizune!

 

Nice!

 

I was going to post about Shizune.

New Ostraca songs from their split with Flesh Born

I guess i'll check their EP

 

Will probably get the Ostraca split. I have a Bandcamp addiction though, and should have my PayPal-account seized.

 

I was sold just because of the name.
