TWO STRAIGH GAYZ FROM DENTRON TEXAS JAMMIN' NOODLY GUITAR LICKS AND DRUMZ FOR THE PUNX, BUUUDDY.
It's kind of midwest sounding, had some trumpets, from Dentron TX. I'm not 100% sure of dates on this one, but late 00s possibly early 2010s. It's not the most exciting thing I've ever heard, but it's not bad.
From Union City, NJ, formed in 2000.
Within the first 6 years of .Junta. the band recorded a self-released demo/ a split 7" with Chapter on Failsafe Records (1,000 printed and sold)/ a 7" on Dogprint Records (1,000 printed and sold)/ a self-financed demo cd (500 printed, sold and reviewed)/ and a self-financed 45 minute full length cd recorded at Stained Glass Studios by Jayson Dezuzio (1,000 printed, distributed and reviewed). After several line up changes (Dave Eisenberg-drums, Mike Braverman-vocals) and Chris and Ian filling in on Bass, the band acquired Alex Reiter on vocals, Mike Oquendo on drums and has since solidified its parts into a congruent whole with the addition of Juan Soaz on bass.
The description above says the formed in 2000, but that must mean disbanded since every says the below releases are both from 97. I do not have the full length CD, it's on discogs, but shipping to Canada is always insane and I've never bit the bullet on that one. This band is definitely more of a 90s sound to me, very heavy and metal influenced. The split with Chapter (Pre/same band as Crucifixion is creation) is the best material in my eyes. The band sounds very similar to Creation is Crucifixion.
Chaotic punk rock from Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire. Heavily infuenced by bands like Orchid and Pg.99. Disbanded early 2001
Google is failing for me on this band, and there's only 17 listeners on last.fm so I don't have much info other than that little blurb. It's some rough recordings, in the typical early 00s screamo style. Instrumentals are not bad, but the vocals are very irritating. Check it out if you're curious.
Active 2003-2004 from San Diego, USA. Looks like members played in metalcore band American Tragedy, and had some associations with As I Lay Dying. It's more on the dancing/rocking/post hardcore'ish type of sound. Not too amazing, but interesting. I might be missing a demo + split, but soulseek isn't giving me anything on that.
I cannot find anything about this band. Googling their name, the split mentioned here, and other things brings me up nothing, so hit me up if you know anything about them. The demo here is dated to 2000, so I'm assuming the split is close to that time as well. The music is a softer emo with math/midwest vibes. I can't remember if the demo is from my old collection, or I just downloaded it early in my blog days, but I tracked down the split recently. It's really fucking good. Srsly go download, and listen.
Life Defined & Ready to Fade - the affordable cure protection
From Snohomish, WA, and connected to a few bands that you can find on the above youtube channel. Keyboard heavy, pretty spazzy, still with some good hardcore emo/screamo connections. Has some singing which is not totally annoying. Overall, really good! I think this is all they've released. I feel only the YouTuber above and a few others would know anything more about this band.
I guess it's no lie to say that many consider The Barnhouse Effect to be one of the most exciting bands to come out of the Dutch DIY punk scene in the last couple of years. I happen to full heartedly agree….they're nothing short of amazing! They impressed everyone involved right from the start with their intense & extremely passionate live shows and music. They mix haunting melodies with full on heavy & harsh screamed assaults, seemingly reminding people of anything from Shikari to old French hardcore to Uranus to 'emo-crust' to 'emo-violence'. Whatever it might sound like to people, the before mentioned passion & intensity in everything they do, seems always obvious to everyone.
Members are currently also active in Cathode and Kriegstanz (with past & present members of Seein'Red, Betercore, Cathode & Orwell Nation). You don't want to miss this. Period.
Okay this is cool. Came across this randomly on soulseek, don't know where I got the band name from. Turns out the person I got it off of is a member of the band. Hoping to get him to answer some questions which I will update this post with. I can see the influences mentioned above. Reminds me of the golden era of Quebec 90s emo. Some of the songs I'm definitely getting a One Eyed God Prophecy feel from them. Seems to be totally obscure, check it out.
Does this "discography" have all that you've released?
All we released was a demo tape, then a two track 7" and the cd you downloaded
Did you, or any of the other band members play in any other bands after/before?
Bands we played in before or after:
Will (drums) and Ed (bass) also played in Cathode around the same time. And I (Thale, guitar) later joined Cathode when Nico left that band.
After Barnhouse Edo and I started Kriegstanz together with Nico, Rogier and Jos, which was a d-beat/crust band. Actually, Rogier and Jos asked the three of us to do a d-beat band and so we did.
When Kriegstanz ended, Rogier, Jos and I went on as Staathaat.
Cathode eventually morphed into Black Decades because Will was the only original member and we wanted to change the style of the band into something similar to Barnhouse
That is to say we wanted to go back to the basic idea we had with barnhouse; no genre, no fixed style and no rules as to what we would do musically
Do you have any thoughts or words on the scene that you were part of (where were you from)?
The scene we were part of at the time was great. In the late 90s early 2000s there was a very active and passionate DIY hardcore punk scene here in the Netherlands and the rest of Europe. Also in the US and parts of Asia I guess.
Did you play any shows with interesting/noteworthy bands?
There were a lot of squats and other places where people organised shows. It was a very inspiring network of people making politically and emotionally charged music and art. We played a lot with bands like Seein Red, Shikari, Mihoen, Catharsis, Tragedy and loads of other bands from that era.
Also, when were you active from, and where exactly?
All of us lived in Utrecht and we were active from the late 90s (maybe 98, I don't remember exactly) to about 2004.
Wow my memory is really bad :) we must have been active from around 2000 to 2006...
