Sea Sons

From La Habra. Sea Sons broke up, literally, when their tour van collided with a semi-truck. Insane Car Accident. Only Alan Hunter survived, to form Graf Orlock and talk about zombies puking corpses. members: Alan Hunter Andreas Desjardins Nick Shannon Taylor McAmmond

Little blurb from Chug Life

sea sons// this was the first screamo band i saw back in high school, and i was so confused and so jarred. i seriously didn't understand what it was, but it made so much sense to me. the people in the band where all people i knew from going to shows, riding bikes, and i even went to high school with one of them. i never realized they were in this amazing band. it was wild, i saw them for the first time on their last show. the guitars were mostly always clean slightly over driven, bass very groovy, and the drums slightly technical but not over done. all in all really really groovy off timish band. the vocals were probably the part that confused me the most as a young teen… i had heard screaming/yelling vocals… but they were not mutually exclusive to me at that point. the singer in this band does something with his voice, where they are doing both at once, and i remember it hit me straight to my core. i could understand every word, and i could feel just how anxious, upset, and unsettled they were. maybe i am romanticizing this band, but that show set such a high bar for me as far as screamo/emotive bands go. 

Active mid 2000's, the connection to Graf Orlock seems to be the major point here. There may be a 4-song demo out there or the release I have below is actually that demo just with instrumental interlude tracks. It's pretty good melodic, and impassioned stuff, similar to popular stuff from this era. Recommend a download!
