List of screamo bands
![]() | This article needs to be updated.(August 2014) |
This is a list of bands that have played screamo at some point in their careers.
Screamo is a music genre which predominantly evolved from emo, among other genres, in the early 1990s. The term "screamo" was initially applied to a more aggressive offshoot of emo that developed in San Diego in the early 1990s, which used usually short songs that grafted "spastic intensity to willfully experimental dissonance and dynamics."[1] Screamo is a particularly dissonant style of emo influenced by hardcore punk[2] and uses typical rock instrumentation, but is noted for its brief compositions, chaotic execution, and screaming vocals. The genre is "generally based in the aggressive side of the overarching punk-revival scene,[3] although the term can be vague.[2] The genre was pioneered by bands like Heroin and Antioch Arrow.[4]

[Loma Prieta's] brand of hardcore has drawn upon myriad other influences, among them the raw emotion of screamo and the brutality of powerviolence; but since their formation in 2005, the band has pursued darker interests, creating music that became more extreme and intense with each album.
