Colossal

Colossal was a heavily underrated band of the early 2000s from Chicago. If you're into jangly indie/emo jams then you'll enjoy Colossal's discography. Having only released an EP titled "Brave the Elements" and one LP titled "Welcome the Problems", they definitely made their mark. This is the download for both the EP and LP.

Penfold

Penfold is a very underrated late 90s emo band. Amateurs and Professionals ranks high on the charts with the other classics of the genre in my opinion. Count Your Lucky Stars Records just repressed this album, head on over to their website to purchase it if you dig it. Click here to get into it. 

La Quiete

La Quiete is another excellent French screamo band. Their drummer also plays in Raein. They have a couple of eps out as well as some splits. This is their self titled EP. Click here to get into it.

Deafheaven

                                     
I definitely slept on this band for way too long. Deafheaven is a melodic black metal band from San Francisco, CA fusing elements of hardcore and post-rock into their sound. Roads to Judah is their first official release on Deathwish Inc. but they also have a demo floating around somewhere. Click here to get into it.

Tigerscout

                                    
I saw this band a while back at the Ottobar in Baltimore, MD with Passengers, Montpellier, and a few other great bands. I hadn't heard much about them until the other day when they released this. Definitely worth checking out if you're into melodic screamo. Click here to get into it.
