Not too much of a midwest-mo fan and I cant' stand anything that comes after Cap'n Jazz (not even American Football) so yeah. I sort of grew into stuff like Shudder to Think. I'm guessing you're also a Revelation records fan? Your tastes tend to fall within that fanbase if you're into traditional post-hc and indiemo.
Also, finally, someone gets it! How do you feel about screamo revivalists and the whole "skram" thing?
I"ll be honest, I'm more of a pop punk kid that just somehow strayed off into the Midwest hahaha. Just checked the roster of Revelation to familiarize myself again. I'm a big fan of the Shook Ones. Partly because of the Lifetime / Kid Dynamite influence. I also like Gorilla Biscuits and The Explosion but the rest of the roster, I only know them by name but I've never really thoroughly listened to them.
Likewise, I'm also not that familiar with the new skram revival but I've heard some good ones like Birds In Row. I like skram too but I'm still a noobzzz with the skram thing. I don't know too many bands aside from Pg99 and Orchid.
I guess we can't agree on the Midwest thing since I love American Football. Haha
Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't you the vocalist of Caitlyn Bailey? Been wanting to see you guys when you went to Manila / Las Piñas.
Edit: Just backtracked a bit. REFUSED. The Shape of Punk to Come is intense. It can stand the test of time in my opinion.
