Just Keep Screaming

Hello followers.
Todays entry is going to be a little different from what you are used to hearing on The Bathroom Session. Todays post is brought to you by the letter 'loud' and will consist of 5 different bands of the post hardcore genre.


Amity Affliction - Fire Or Knife



First up on the docket, The Amity Affliction's 'Fire or Knife'. The Amity Affliction named their band in memory of one of their first band mates who was killed in a car accident when he was 17. Amity refers to friendship and Affliction refers to the struggles of dealing with such a loss. Having lost a friend in a car accident at 16, I respect this band a shit ton. This song is off their second album 'Youngbloods' released earlier this year and is one of my faves to blast in my headphones.


Bury Tomorrow - You & I



Next up, 'You & I' by Bury Tomorrow. I was searching the inter webs for tid bits of info on this band and came across this biography:
Bury Tomorrow were formed in 2006 when a freak Nuclear spill contaminated Adam Jackson giving him superhuman drumming skills thus becoming known only as ‘El Metronome’.
Armed with his new powers he let out a battle cry calling forth any suited heroes to join him in his quest for metal glory. The cry was answered by 4 intrepid similar nuclear mishaps; Mehdi aka ‘Fingerboy’ with the ability to pick up any guitar and shred; Jason aka ‘Soundwave’ blessed with a voice that can reach notes that only small animals and people with hearing aides can hear; and the two brothers Danni aka ‘Cpt Sonica’ with a growl that could stop a lion in its tracks and Davyd aka ‘The Animal’ … well capable of being animal like. Together they are The Metalcore Quintet ‘BURY TOMORROW’.
I don't need to say anymore.


Periphery - The Walk



PEEEEERIPHERY! Listening to this band makes me blow a load. Periphery signed a one record deal with Sumerian Records (which they released earlier this year, on 4:20) and have been touring and supporting bands like DevilDriver, Emmure, God Forbid, The Dillinger Escape Plan and Fear Factory since 2008. There's not much else to say about Periphery, JUST LISTEN.


A Day To Remember - The Downfall Of Us All



N-E-X-T! 'The Downfall Of Us All' by one of my all time fave bands, A Day To Remember. It was difficult to pick one song by them to post but this one always make me smile when it comes on and I have no choice but to turn it up. I love them because they mix two different genres of music. When Jeremy McKinnon, lead singer, was asked about their sound he said 'It's weird. See it's funny because we have been doing this for so long. When we started, this shit was not cool. EVERYONE told us mixing the two genres wouldn't work. Hell, a lot of people still feel that way. We’ve just always played what we wanted to hear, and to be honest people weren't doing it back then. We loved pop punk, we loved hardcore bands, and we couldn’t decide what to be. So we said fuck it. Let’s do them both.' And they pull it off.


Asking Alexandria - The Final Episode (Lets Change The Channel)



Save the best for last. Asking Alexandria = pure raw sex. I can't even concentrate after watching/listening to this video. If you haven't heard Asking Alexandria then sit back, relax, give your ears a little slice of heaven, and fall in love.
*Exciting news: NEW album to be released in 2011. Keep your eyes and ears peeled.




Sincerely yours,
