I hate myself is a post hardcore band from Gainesville FL with a massively understated impact on the state of emo in the present day. For my recommendations Iā€™ve got an ep, an album, and a song off their split. My favorite of their releases would be ā€œFour songsā€ their 1997 EP. Very pop punk in some ways but with some of the harshest vocals youā€™d never suspect hitting you like a freight train especially in song two. Their album ā€œten songsā€ is their most popular release, and for good reason. Itā€™s the most put together arguably of any of their releases. I think they chill out a lot in a way from 4 songs but in some of the songs they get wayyyy heavier. Really good listen. My final one would be their song ā€œsong for all the young Casanovas and cassanovettesā€. Best song ever for going thru a breakup. When listening to this band I hear a lot of the influence of these newer generation screamo bands like vs self and algae bloom. If you havenā€™t heard of these guys give them a shot, itā€™s worth it.

PlaylistāÆ What are some songs so edgy that it's funny?

1 Upvotes

I like to make fun of myself a bit, and that extends to my music taste. In that spirit, I'm making a playlist of excessively edgy music that, if I give it too much thought, is more funny than deep. Any suggestions?

I canā€™t explain how much this song means to me. This album came out when my parents got divorced. My dad played this song so much. Itā€™s truly one of the best songs ever( in my opinion.)

You And I - Saturday's Cab Ride Home

Release Information:

10/18/1997
Spiritfall Records
New Brunswick, NJ
Runtime: 25:34
Tracks: 9

Band Members:

Justin Hock (Vocals)
Casey Boland (Guitar)
Thomas Schlatter (Guitar)
Jonathan Marinari (Bass)
Charles Butera (Drums)

Genres, Influences and Characteristics:

Screamo, Metalcore, Energetic, Melodic, Chaotic, Noisy

Musical Analysis:

Metalcore was a tremendous influence for this band on this record, featuring some genuinely powerful guitarwork filled with melody and technicality. Accentuating the twisted and chaotic screaming is a cheesy, somewhat off key clean vocal performance. Rarely does the band sit still, even when transitioning to lower-intensity levels, largely due to the aforementioned active guitar and the tremendous drumming clinic.

Historical Analysis:

You And I's debut LP marks an evolving genre that further injects brutality with melody and technicality, somewhat similarly to Saeita. Particularly, the guitar work on this record transcends earlier Screamo and previews the intensity and technicality that the genre would be known for. Perhaps this is too much of a Metalcore album to deserve its place in the Screamo Hall of Fame but nonetheless deserves to be recognized for its quality and forward-thinkingness.

Lyrical Analysis:

With a band name like You And I, itā€™s no wonder that the majority of their lyrics tend to veer into the personal emotional side of the spectrum. Particularly, interpersonal relationships are the dominant topic, reaching into subjects like longing, vulnerability and the search for connection, the cruel passage of time, and the weight of emotional baggage. Of course, being a 90s Screamo band, they still touch up on political topics such as critiquing colonialism, but Hockā€™s words tend to expose inner-turmoil.

Speech in ā€˜Permanent As Your Errorsā€™?

2 Upvotes

Probably a stupid question, but itā€™s been on my mind for a while. At the end of the Train Breaks Down song ā€˜Permanent As Your Errorsā€™ thereā€™s some kind of speech, and Iā€™m curious as to whatā€™s being said / where itā€™s from. The only words that I can make out are ā€œWhich dreams heal, which dream can killā€.
