I'll take your word on that one, Crowquill. I'm not big into screamo personally--anything more intense than the early Boy Sets Fire records make my ears bleed. I'm more into accoustic-driven Daphne Loves Derby-esque emopop, so I'm no expert.
Although "Circle Takes The Square" is probably the coolest band name I've seen in a while, so I might check them out just for that. As shallow as it is, half of me is already thinking how awesome that'd look on a t-shirt. |

It Dies Today isn't usually thought of as screamo, but they do scream a lot. They've got a few CD's out: Forever Scorned (their EP), The Caitiff Choir, and a re-release of The Caitiff Choir (it has re-recorded versions of the songs on their EP, and also their cover of Enjoy the Silence).

Deegan, the problem with that is that all of the bands you listed (while having core influence, some A LOT more than others), they aren't screamo. Just because a band has a screamer does not instantly place them in the screamo genre. Screamo evolved from emo (there's really not a big difference, explained in a second), but it's basically what we call real emo bands now so they don't get mixed up with all the Victory Records trash that's out there.
While I do enjoy The Fall of Troy, FBTMOF, and Norma Jean (the rest, I've listened to), you need to understand what actual music difference there is between screamo and hardcore/metal inspired bands such as those. Saying that different people have different ideas of what screamo is and isn't doesn't justify the fact that they (and you) are still wrong. You cannot go against history (which I seem to keep telling people, again and again) just to argue (with no backing proof) that a band is in the genre. Read the education threads and look into some of the bands Ethan (Crowquill) and I have made threads about. I think if you do this, you will see a huge difference between the bands you've defined as "screamotional screamo screaming music lOLZ!@" and actual screamo bands. |

I said they all had some core influences, which basically puts them all into either post-hardcore, metalcore, grindcore, or hardcore inspired pop rock. Fall of Troy has slightly more textbook emo music (lots of dynamic and melodic changes throughout the songs) than the others, but they still fall into post-hardcore, along with alexisonfire and The Bled (who don't have any emo qualities to their music). The rest of the bands you listed are just metalcore/metal with hardcore influence. If you don't believe me, compare them with these few bands (metalcore staples): Shai Hulud, Every Time I Die, and Botch. You'll notice a lot of similarity and influence. I'm not saying the musical taste is bad, it's just incorrectly labeled by you (and a majority of the time, myspace).
