Skramz • Page 8

Just found these guys through a post by dead tank. Apparently their name translates to Smile To The Wind. Gettin some serious Daitro vibes. Waaaaayyyy into it.

 

they're doing crowdsourcing for a new record

skramz purists are mad

$15k to make a skramz record in 2018? That seems kinda too cynical even for me.

Everyone who’s hyped for new JD would do well to remember what their last full length sounded like...

 

i sent zac a picture of some kids i know that were so fucking mad about this

 

I mean, all the things they mentioned seem to add up. recording, travel, lodging, food, pressing the records and shipping them too...that's a lot of cost considering these are grown ass adults and not a bunch of college kids or something

 

I’m not mad about it and I guess it makes sense when you factor in studio time with Ballou, travel, pressing, shipping etc but it sure is a long way from self-recorded, hand made cdrs. Just funny how the world/people change. Sounds like they are trying to do this as a ‘serious band’ and make it sound professional, which is probably going to be cool but definitely a long way from what the band was like back in the day.

 

I guess there's not necessarily any guarantee it's a skramz record either

 

Post-punk record incoming

But seriously I reckon a lot of people are backing this for nostalgia or otherwise thinking they’re going to be getting a rough, intense skramz record, and I think they’re more than likely to end up with something very different

 

i'd rather people support them for that, then not support them because they are "fucking sellouts"

 

I’m not saying don’t support them, I’m just saying a lot of people are probably going to end up being mad if they’re only wanting/expecting skull split 2.0

 

omg repressing the gospel album!!!

 

Wow @ both

 

idk the first but i adore the gospel album

 

Get up kids ish 90s emo stuff

 

Tetsuya Fukagawa is back in Envy

New HIHA song available for 10 days

 

killer combo

 

This is kinda Deafheaven-y in parts but they cite Envy and City of Caterpillar as influences so I’m posting it here

 

So weird to see the Skramz thread on the first page of the forums.. haha

 

Should be here more often tbh

 

New Cassus is good

 

New Hundreds of AU (Tom of The Assistant/You & I etc.) record!!

Tons of other good, recently released stuff on the Middle-Man bandcamp, too.
