Couldn't find a decent pic of the band!

Play The Piano Drunk Like A Percussion Instrument Until Your Fingers Begin To Bleed

Don't know much about this band. I think they may be from Sweden.

Nice screamy stuff.

SENNEVAL

Insane chaotic screamo hardcore with furious vocals, spazzy breaks, discordant grooves, and a balance between heaviness and driving riffs.

STRICTLY BALLROOM

Strictly Ballroom was founded in late 1994 by a bunch of former KXLU DJs — guitarist/singer Chris Gunst, second guitarist Paul Larson, bassist Jimmy Tamborello, drummer Ian MacKinnon, and keyboardist/percussionist Jimmy Hay. The band’s sound was described as “Enocore” by the press and fans at the time, due to their Brian Eno-like soundscaping merged with the sounds of hardcore. Signed to the Waxploitation label, the quintet issued the album Hide Here Forever in 1998, and became a college radio favorite, appearing on the CMJ charts.

Hide Here Forever

YOU AND I

The final recording from this legendary New Jersey band. Combining the greatests aspects of bands like Lifetime, Unbroken, Converge, to name a few, but adding their own style to the mix, more so on this album than on their earlier efforts. You and I songs are often quite ecclectic in styles, but they seem to always pull them off so smoothly. There are mosh parts, sing alongs, all the parts every good band should have. This record seems to even show hints of grind, too. However, they always maintain their melodic base that made so many people fall in love with this band.
