S'not like I've really explored this topic much outside the initial post, but regardless of wether I'm the first to say this or not: Melt Banana are absolutely NOT emo in any way, shape, or form. They could be considered Noise Punk, Noise Grind, Artcore, or whatever quasi-pretentious title you wanna give them, but they are way more than a stonesthrow away from any variation of emotional punk-fueled music, and DEFINATELY not "screamo".
If anything, they're more like a focused Sore Throat or The Boredoms over any remotely introspective piece of music worthy of mention on this board.
Oh, and so no one gets the wrong idea, I'm a flippin' huge Melt Banana buff. Just sayin'.
