Street Sects

Screamo never really went away, but the screamo scene feels stronger and more unified right now than it has in a while, and 2019 birthed a slew of new great releases within the genre. Here are 12 of them.

”This is a song about my furry little spiritual teachers, their perfection & beauty, & how being in the present moment with them can be like a doorway to a conscious divine connection.”
