City of Caterpillar

City of Caterpillar was super influential in the crap I listen to today. They racked up some pretty sweet spiraling post-rock and then kicked your face in with either heavy post-hardcore shouting or emo violence almost screamo screaming (guess you could just consider it emotional hardcore). They were not too frantic to a point where all direction was lost as well, which is probably the reason I could easily get into these guys with no other experience in this kind of post-rock/screamo hybrid. A nice little build up into an assault of loud ass yelling has always been my favorite kind of approach in the screamo business. It's like this, would you rather have your beloved home instantly in a blaze of fire or would you want to watch it start out from a little carpet fire? I don't know. Sometimes I don't have time to wait eiher.

City of Caterpillar will rob you of your childhood sing-a-longs and replace them with heavy fucking music if you're not careful.
