I notice that everyone here (like most places) is massively misusing the term "emo". Emo is a genre of music and is a shortened term for "Emotional Hardcore" which is a genre that has been around since the post-punk era of the 1980s.

The "emo" kids, if thats what they want to call themselves, wouldnt know a real emo band if it hit them on their newly pruned-and-dyed head.

Bands with slanty fringe haircuts and girls jeans are not "emo". But I fear this is going to be ignored.

Real Emo bands include:

Envy
Orchid
Saetia
City of Caterpillar
Daitro
Etc.

Sorry to rant just a pet-peeve. Thing is I'm not even a massive fan of the genre, just of its most quality exponents and silly aggro teenagers are dragging its name through the dirt.
I see you're doing a gig in Aberdeen this month - might come and check it out. I agree with Beaumanoir; the last song there definately has a SOAD influence to it, quite catchy, and I heard a bit of Bungle in the first song to! Interesting stuff!
