FRAIL BODY
Facebook | Bandcamp
Frail Body is a hardcore/punk band from Rockford, IL that embodies the spirit and soul of what many define as "screamo".
HAZING OVER
Facebook | Bandcamp
To incite a cliche, Hazing Over is truly more than the sum of its parts. Whether they’re channeling the bass drop breakdowns of deathcore or the melodic flourishes of post-hardcore, the band manages to weave the connective tissue together to create an identity that is unmistakably theirs. And in a genre that often obsesses over cosmetics to its own detriment, identity is a precious commodity. It’s more clear than ever that heavy music needs new faces with new ideas, unafraid to push out of strict sonic constraints. Hazing Over is a band who understands that need, and they’re poised to hit the reset, with or without your blessing.

Violence from Columbus, OH.
SNAG
Facebook | Bandcamp
Milwaukee’s Snag came from crisis and anxiety. Environmental, economic, existential-- their music represents the full-throated terror of living in a world that seems to have no regard for its own future. Incubating throughout 2016 and bursting into screaming life in early 2017, Snag perform a particularly visceral form of screamo that plays heavily with the more atmospheric, post-rock side of the genre, incorporating disparate instruments like violin, cello, and trumpet as well as anxious interludes and build-ups while never sacrificing the immediacy and kinetic catharsis at the heart of their sound.
LIVID

Hardcore powerviolence from Kenosha, WI.
