Make me

I swear I saw somewhere on the internet about 2 years ago they were selling Make Me's Discography in LP format for $5. I am pretty sure I did, I couldn't get it at the time since I didn't had a paypal or even a credit card or money. This band is one of those bands that sound like those cheezy warped tour so-called "Screamo" bands. But because of the DIY scene they settled in, they are very unique from any of those cliche shit bands. 1. This band loves playing in clean sound amps and sometimes when the time is right they blast it with some distortion here and there. 2. The band weren't corporate sell outs. I really like this bands attitude especially that whole midwestern screamo stuff. Always on clean notes. I get tired when I hear those piece of shit bands that play every song in drop C and half of the song they palm mute the E on 0 and thats it. Thats fucking BORING. This band isn't like that this band has some jazzy to it and despite the clean notes, the screaming vocals are very good and don't exagerate like the bands from fairy world. It's to bad this band left us with a 4 song demo tape which came in a pouch from what I heard from those people who got the chance to buy, a split with Black JuJu came in a compilation and did a unreleased track. During there years of being active only 8 songs came across. Yep. Well it's nine tracks but one of them is the intro to the next track from the unreleased side. I mean if you haven't heard 'em check this shit out, if your a fairy you might dig this as well. Make me does sound somewhat a bit like Merchant ships by a little but but at the same time very original.

Jeer at rome

One of the last posts that haves to do with Anthony Green, Jeer at rome only released a 4 song demo CD back in 2001 I believe. I do remember talking to one of the members of this band on myspace back in early 2008, he stated that they recorded a few instrumental demos. He never bothered to post them up on the internet, neither did Anthony Green. The band is your usual typical hardcore philly band, Anthony screams the fuck out of the 4 jams. They have a dark feel to the songs. Someone told me the reason this band disbanded was because there were many bands that sounded like this one at the time so they broke up.



4 song demo

Saetia

Saetia was a very adorable band that many of the real screamo/skramz/emotive hardcore/etc whatever you call it adore a lot and many of us know. Why? simply there demo tape was a excellent view on what real screamo is using the right lyrics, the right notes for each song. This was as well one of the first real screamo bands that really choked me and brought a piece inside me that my whole life will nenver change. On the side note of my life, when I heard this band back in October 2008 when I was a 11th grader I trolled (yes we all troll get over it, if it wasn't for trolling your dumbass wouldnt be reading this) my grandmother passed away, right when I was hearing the emotions on "Closed hands" and "One dying wish" the noise of my mother crying very loud while these 2 songs were playing captured a real moment I will never forget and that the world will never experience, even til this day those two songs bring back that 8 minute moment and everytime it does I live through those minutes again and again... What I am trying to say is that Saetia is very memorable for us DIY lovers. The band did the classic cult "Demo tape", a s/t 7" which has 2 songs from the demo tape, a 9 song self titled CD/LP, came out in a comp. and there final 3 songs Eronel 7". I just don't listen to bands and like them I read on their history and know the members. I'ts pathetic when many people only listen to bands and don't do mini backgrounds on the members and such, that's pro trolling and not knowing what the fuck squat. It's been said an early bassist that only came out on the demo tape died of an allergic reaction sending him to a coma and a few weeks later I believe died. Very sad. I hate discography sets because I like lining up the songs to the original releases, on my I pod I hardly have any discography as an album. Saetia did a discography entitled "A retrospective" I did noticed new versions of the song from the Enorel 7" that isn't from the original 7" both versions are a beauty. Well here ya go, I am telling you if it's real screamo you want I know, if its AskingAlexandria sell out shit, you are looking at the wrong blog blood. BTW don't depend to much on MP3 free downloads lately I have noticed tons of shit being removed from mediafire, theres still copies of this discography to buy, so do yourself a favor and buy it. It's okay to freeload sometimes, but to the point where you bitch and moan. I always here the same stupid excuse "Not many people have money to buy CD's, etc" Really? Must mean you can't afford to listen to music then. retardation...

Ago Decorus


On one of my early blogs I posted there 2008 summer demo, oddly it was deleted off mediafire which is wierd since I uploaded the demo before it was taken off mediafire. I don't know if the band themselves took it off or some shit either way some shit happened, Ago Decorus who is alike Circa Survive with the same voice structure that Anthony Green has. As a matter of fact this band was influence by such acts of Circa Survive and The Mars Volta. I wouldn't consider this band being over rated, anyone hardly recognize this band. They did a 2008 summer demo with 4 songs which one of the songs went on there first and only digital EP entitled Stories of a setting sun. It really sucks this band hardly hasn't been active for quite a while, ever since they changed their name to "The Normandy" I don't know why they did, I really digged Ago Decorus way more. It's been a good year since any release or even been playing shows from what I know of. They did a music video for a song that isn't released called "In Theory" pretty badass. I wouldn't say these days are mainstream whatsoever, I hate the fact people pay attention to askingalexandria, a day to remember, etc when a band that could be a really awesome (for once) mainstream band that could've been super successful in doing many people ignored that chance for them to make it big, these dudes are nice I do remember talking to one of them in myspace they really appriciated there fans, I was even picturing them going on tour with Circa Survive. I really doubt this band will play again, but I am really hoping they prove me soo wrong. Ago decorus is way better than all those piece of shit cliche warped tour bands, they also wanted to play on warped tour I don't think they got enough votes to play up there faries like gay shit and I'm guessing Ago Decorus wasn't to cool for them, Well I got news for you fairy fuck, you are a fucking waste of meat. Ago Decorus is way to good to even play on that fairy land wanna be emo bullshit place. DIY will take them and just like every band that are DIY are the best bands in the world and all the shitty bands are mainstream. Oh well DIY wins again. Well here is their Discography I did luckly someone posted there EP and unreleased track. So I combined the two with the summer demo and put it on one file it's about 10 songs, but actually did 9 since one of the songs were re-recorded for the EP. Fuck man, the good bands die quick and the gay one's last enternity am I in hell? :p

Saosin

Small quick post, I wanted to post this little discography I made for myself, all the stuff Anthony Green did before Saosin got all gay and what not. I hate the new Saosin, I believe Saosin shouldve died when Anthony Green left, Anthony Green was Saosin and could not be replaced; Unfortunately Cove joined and did all the lame stuff and made Saosin lame. Well it's a small post so here is the discography. Fuck you Cove and the new Saosin.. The new Saosin went on to be DIY supposely they are still going to suck sooo hah! So new Saosin fans that knows the now Saosin you can suck it.

Circa survive


It's been a while since a post here, I had shit going on with school and my band so I haven't had so much time posting crap here.... One of my few favorite mainstream artist I like, unique vocals like the pine. High pitched. Yes Anthony Green frontman of this band. But I must say I dig that experimentation he does in this band. I do have a 2009 demo of them with a few unreleased songs that didn't make it on the lattest LP they made "Blue Sky Noise" Whick I don't know why the seven songs couldve made the LP sound way more legit(Blue sky noise Which is my least favorite album by these dudes). They kicked ass on there first 2 demos and first 2 full lengths. There newest material "Appendage EP" kinda made up for there "Blue Sky Noise", the album itself to poppy it didn't seem like the real Circa Survive playing. It's funny that many bands don't really have attractive dudes, I must say Anthony Green is one of the few that are attractive.... Anyway, I really digged this band ever since a old high school buddy of mine let me borrow Juturna back in 9th grade, since then there a drug thats my little secret til now of course since I am telling you. I would consider them a "emo" band but with a mixture of today's new generation, lyrics are beautiful with none of that cliche shit involved; Anthony Green is very talented for his vocal singing and lyric writting. I dig the passion in his lyrics, I'ts like when you listen to (For an example: Saetia, you hear Billy Werner screaming in "One Dying Wish" you can here he fucking means it when he is screaming to that, Anthony Green he does it with singing, really gets to you) I been a fan of high pitch singing ever since I heard New Edition when I was 6 years old. But yeah, If you know them but haven't heard them check it it is very reccomended even for me to post it on my blog. If you don't know them and you are stuck into the whole DIY music I still reccomend you to come out the shadow and take a bite of this band, at least download "This changes everything demo" and "The Inuit Sessions EP". I would say this band has its mixtures of experimental/indie/twinkly emo. That's just how I hear it and define it. By the way I didn't post there Blue Sky noise LP since I didn't really dig it but you never know you if you do end up liking it. I also had to upload the this changes everything demo, 2009 demo, and b-sides.


I' even putting this on my blog, i'ts a unreleased song from the 2009 demo. I had a heart attack when I heard him sing. Just listening it makes you fall in love with him. You can now know what I mean by the emotions.

Gio's list

Soo for those who aren't familiar with DIY (Do It Yourself). Are labels that do handmade shit whether they are CD-R's, tapes, and vinyls. I noticed lately many of the crappy mainstream labels such as Victory Records, Dine, Vagrant, Epitaph, ect are doing limited vinyl's of the bands cd's they did for hot topic, best buy, and such mainstream media corporations like those. Maybe they heard a little of DIY and how cool it was these labels have been copying what these awesome cool labels have been doing in limited press. I mean if they liked what they did and digged that whole stuff, that's awesome; still doesn't change the fact they are sell out labels, and aren't DIY. So I am here being a douche again I will give a list of shitty labels that are corporate sell outs. No offense, but I really dislike these labels for 2 main reasons, 1. if you notice the bands on these labels try so hard and try to make a "Perfect" album and are focusing too much on that rather on what they feel like coming out of it as a whole band and playing what they feel like it and not to impress a crowd filled with fairies with hardcore band shirts from hot topic. You can tell by the early releases they made sounded so much better when they were signed in a independent label you can tell the difference and to when they signed to a major label. Example. Alexisonfire, this Canadian "Screamo" band did a demo in cd-r called Math Sheets Demo. They then released a S/T under a Independent label at the time and went lame "Equal Vision Records". Supposely its been said that they dedicated this album to Level Plane Records another independet label that had Saetia, pg.99, Shikari (NOT the lame band Enter Shikari), Hot Cross, etc. When the band released there second length "Watch Out !" right when Equal Vision Records had mainstream success the bands sound totally changed. It was a "Success Hit" in Canada giving it a Platinum. Same thing with another great band Moneen, who did there first two releases under the Canadian independent label Smallman Records, as soon as they wen to Vagrant they did Are We Really Happy With Who We Are Right Now? in which Smallman records were also helping out the album, I believe this album was very successful in still sounding themselves not because Vagrant, but because Smallman was still there. As soon as Vagrant took all over moneen while making The Red Tree the band even tried making a "Perfect" single when they went on Vagrant, even the band was really stressed because of this. Why the fuck would Vagrant force moneen to play a certain mainstream style? Why? I thought these labels were all about the bands making there own music on there own terms? What happened there. You can even watch moneen's documentary It All Started With A Red Stripe. The engineer told Kenny from moneen "Are we really happy was almost perfect" and that the lead guy from Vagrant wants something perect from them... Bitch say fucking what? That is sooo poorly to do judge a fucking great album that had somewhat mainstream success and underground success as well. Moneen went on signing into a even bigger label Dine Alone. But because the band did a shitty and there last album, they disbanded because they didn't met the fund of being this so called "Mainstream Success". Anyways here is a list of shitty labels I belive that messed up many bands.

-Dine Alone
-Equal Vision
-Victory
-Epitaph
-Atlantic
-Hopeless
-Reprise
-Sumerian
-Indianola
-Rise
-Velocity
-Fearless
-Sire
-Decaydance
-Eyeball

There's probably more of this shitty labels. Some of these consider themselves "Independent" labels, and some of these are mainstream Sell Outs. I just personally think these labels are such shit to me. But remember it is ONLY MY OPINION you don't have to agree with me in any from. Most of the bands on these labels are. The used, Dashboard confessions, Alesana, Askingalexandria, My chemical romance, etc. Basically bands that would never ever ever be on this blog for the only exceptions of Moneen's early releases and Thursday's first 3 lengths. Ok now here is a list of shitty as bands that consider themselves "Emo" and "Screamo" fucking mainstream sellouts.

-Askingalexandria
-A day to remember
-Alesana
-My Chemical Romance
-The Used
-Chiodos
-From first to last
-D.R.U.G.S
-Woe, is me
-Escape the fate

God knows how many of these poser ass bands are there in the world giving emo and screamo a bad name that punks hate. In reality emo and punk are very related. As a matter of fact its where it came from, not from a dumbass big forehead guy that became a band called the used and named it Screamo, no. Kids need to realize that isn't near the reality of emo or screamo bands. Its a massive confusion that even Toru okada said at the end of there song Lights Out of this massive confusion that is going around, Palatka saying "What The Fuck is emocore, its the stupidest thing i've ever heard.' in reality those who say emocore or believe this genre such exist you look stupid when you say it and have a retarded face. Such genre doesnt exist. it's all emotive hardcore. Bands that are the real thing DIY Emotive Hardcore. That is the real thing of emo and screamo, not many know of it and not many punks know of it, but if punks and poser "emos" sat down and heard the real emo and real screamo punks would apologize to the real them and still beat the crap out of the poser twice as hard for being in fact a huge douche, more than a douche than me posting this while some of you get butthurt. The truth hurts, but thats life some of you kids were blinded or brainwashed to all this MTV FUSE tv crap music and kroq however you spell the repetitive music radio station that plays the same boring shit. I was never a big fan of the boring sex pistols, or Nirvana. I wasn't a big fan of Alesana or Askingalexandria. Wasn't a fan of The Beatles or even Led Zepplin. When it comes to music I wouldn't lie to myself and force my ears to listen to crap that bores me just to impress a "Popular" crowd. At the same time I am glad I was the only one of my high school times and even college as of today that that listened to something so different from everyone else that even the people who didn't like that noisy loud shit I love were very interested in it and were interested in this DIY I always rambled of in lunch time and in class. No, it didn't make me an outcast because of it. Because in my High School you'd either be a lameass shuffler jerker whatever these justin beaver kids make up these days with the colorful yellow skinny jeans sagging or bright yellow skinny jeans sagging, or you can be a punk thrasher listening to the same boring shit going to these half ass set shows with poorly bands that are to lazy to record anything or aren't serious on the musician ship of a whole band, or you can be the poser everyone hates a fairy that likes the bands I just listed and beleive that is all real, I may not know if you are real or not I cannot judge you because of what you listen to or because of how cliche you are. I am no one neither who is better. I am not proving that all that I am trying to say is that these kids very likely belive they are "them". So here is a list of great labels you should check, or you can just miss out on the best real emo and real screamo DIY bands and still be that failing poser everyone hates. Or just take my word. It ia really your choice. I just like shring this type of music and being a douche to those sell out bands and kids that like that Warped Tour crap.

You can tell the difference between this fake emo and this real emo

Alesana (NOT screamo)(lame shit sell out) Cliche emotions



Beau Navire (Real Screamo)(DIY) you can definetly hear the emotion building up and beautiful screaming



My chemical romance (Not EMO)mainstream pop


I wrote Haikus About Cannibalism in your yearbook (DIY) you can hear the beauty emotions translating through, it is basically real emotive hardcore and the way its meant to be


Lyrics
aside from everything like stuttering and shifting my eyes listen when i say, "hey don't be that way."



I'm pretty sure I am clear on my statement.
