Touche Amore - Beerland, SXSW, Austin TX - March 14, 2014

[Burbank, CA] This band nearly managed to override my dislike for screamo. First they really weren’t screamo – more yell-o ;) Second, the music was terrific – melodic math rock – melancholy. The lead singer looked very much like McNulty from The Wire. Rockboy described them as a meld of 80s hardcore (e.g., Fugazi) and early emo (e.g., Rites of Spring).
