Pennsylvania three-piece We Were Skeletons play frenetic, hectic, desperate, flailing, violent hardcore screamo – or, to put it in the band’s own terms, “mid-tempo choderock”. You know it. Looking at the band’s online presence it’s pretty obvious they don’t take themselves too seriously… yet listening to their tunes it’s clear where the band have invested their concentration and dedication.

Their take on the screamo genre is a rougher, rawer affair than some contemporaries such as Piano Becomes The Teeth or Dolcim – think now-defunct outfits like Hot Cross or Orchid (in fact ex-Orchid member Will Killingsworth sat behind the desk to record this release), or even Saetia if they had hated one another even more. We Were Skeletons have a jagged, distorted, flakey guitar sound with some lush hints of delay on lead guitar, particularly in the short and snappy solos that pepper their songs.

Title’s a bit of a mouthful, huh? But then, the Harry Potter series is nothing if not occasionally clumsy.

I suspect that the Potter series may be the longest-running consecutive series of films, with 8 titles (including the unreleased follow-up to this entry) spread between 2001 and 2011.
