I have been looking for some realy good screamo/ hard rock bands and i just wanted to see what the poeple of ATS/BTS thought! Please do not leave replies with " Screamo sucks" or anything like that.

Some interesting bands I've come across:

Misery Signals, Holiday Unheard Of, A Skylit Drive, Story of the Year, All that Remains, Crash Parallel, Hedley, Nightwish, We the Kings

...not all of those bands are screamo, but the majority are, and the ones which aren't screamo are good nonetheless.

Enjoy!

I was never much into screaming until a couple of years ago, when a band called As I Lay Dying got me hooked on it. Since then, Atreyu (the older stuff, not the new stuff), Lamb of God, Cradle of Filth, Killswitch Engage, and Arch Enemy have seen pretty constant rotation on my CD player. Most of these guys are signed to major labels, so I'm sorry if I couldn't help too much with the "underground" stuff.

ALEXISONFIRE!

start with them by all means.

but otherwise:
Underoath
The Bled
Who Calls So Loud..
Fear Before The March Of Flames
Circle Takes The Square
Glassjaw
Her Words Kill
The Number Twelve Looks Like You
The Devil Wears Prada
These Arms Are Snakes

I've stuck to exclusively screamo here
havent really taken in metalcore / 'deathcore' or anything further than that.

look up screamo bands on the internet and you can find many good bands, and i hope you like these because i do

some of it sounds good. my cousin has a cd that is screamo and it sounded good. but it had one of those kind of like epic choruses though. if you like death metal check out my cool tune post and scroll to the bottom.

Most of the bands that these people have recommended are not "Screamo" If you want real screamo. Check out:

Saetia
Funeral Diner
Assfactor Four
Balboa
Orchid
Raein
La Quiete
Ampere
Neil Perry
Joshua Fit for Battle
Amanda Woodward
I Hate Myself
Yaphet Kotto

These are all amazing bands, encompassing the true nature of real screamo. Have fun, avoid major label crap, stay punk!!

Anon. above me got it right.

Neil Perry
Love Lost but Not Forgotten
Joshua Fit For Battle

Start with these and keep going. Look up info on them and you'll find more screamo bands.
