Do you like skramz? like, screamo. .but…you know…not MTV’s screamo…we started calling it skramz, so we wouldn’t get people asking us about Hawthorne Heights when we bring it up…
Yeah, you like Jerome’s Dream, Orchid, Pg. 99, Majority Rule…all that good shit?
Do you remember mp3.com?
Well, on mp3.com, there was this skramz band called Between Two Thieves.
I tell everyone about this.
They were kinda like Jerome’s Dreams, but their sound was like really dark. They had a little bit of death metal going on too. The last song (if it really is supposed to be the last song…I don’t actually know the track order. . they were just arranged that way on the mp3.com page from top to bottom) the end of it is just brutal. It’s like an Immolation part. . an old one. There’s this keyboard. .kinda like the Locust . .but not constantly, not overbearing, but it’s there.
As far as I know, they only released those 5 songs.
I randomly encountered a member on twitter, but when I ask if they had released any physical media I got no answer.
Anyway, check this out. I listen to it entirely too much…which last.fm will show you.

To me, they were super underrated. I knew one person who actually saw them live. He told me they covered later Jerome’s Dream (Presents stuff) and “did it right”.
Did you know about them? Did you ever see them live? lemme know.
Okay, this is pretty cool. I can agree with the Jeromes Dream comparison. There's some sort of twangy keyboard sound going on that is interesting. Overall it's fairly memorable and high quality. Props to the people who preserved this.
this is really really really good. that last song crushes.
