Three touring bands from all over the US are coming to the Strutt this Monday night. We Were Skeletons hails from Lancaster,PA and plays some very intense technical screamo jamz. I have been listening to their full length for a bit and every time I give it a listen, it sounds fresh and new. The song structures remind me a lot of Hot Cross but with the technicality of Capsule. They have released a 7″ split with MNWA and The Saddest Landscape and a 12″ with Topshelf Records. Buy it here or give it a listen here.

On tour with We Were Skeletons is Caution Children from Florida. The play a mix of post rock and screamo. It reminds me a lot of Men As Trees, if anyone remembers them from playing at 902 Davis a couple of times, in the way they had very melodic ambient riffs while having a very shaky rough scream over the top. Also on the bill is My Fictions from Massachusetts. These dudes are all about epic post hardcore in the vein of Touche Amore, Pianos Become the Teeth and Caravels.

My favorite boys from Grand Rapids, Jowls, are also coming down to the Strutt on Monday. They are a powerful screamo two piece that will melt your brain. Recently they got signed to Doghouse Records and will be putting out a full length in the fall. My band(The Reptilian) will be putting out a split with them in the fall as well. They just recorded the tracks for it and here is a little teaser:

And finally my dinguz punk band, The Reptilian will be playing as well.
