To demonstrate how frighteningly young Trivium is, on their tour this month one of their lead guitarists had to be temporarily replaced so he could get his wisdom teeth removed. Okay, Paolo is only a month younger than me, but that's still scary! Especially since the band's been around for ten years. I feel so inadequate. Anyway, if you hate cookie cutter emo metal music—think AFI, 36 Crazyfists, Atreyu, Taking Back Sunday and other bands which could theoretically play the Warp Tour—you should love Tomorrow Is Monday, here performing their epic hit, "Head On Collision With Rosebush Catching On Fire."

This is a joke by Trivium's lead singer Matt Heafy proving that you can write, perform, and record one of these songs in fifty-seven minutes, no lie.

Also by Wikipedia-surfing I found out that Mesa, Arizona helped make emo mainstream?! No! Arizona wouldn't do something like that!

Sweeet. I'll check them out. I have one or two Lacuna Coil songs, and I def have Polkadot Cadaver. One of the reasons I remember I liked Sevendust was because it was more melodic than screamy.

Not that I don't enjoy the screaming. I do like Mastodon in all their weird prog metal glory.

I also like All That Remains because the screaming is broken up by sudden surprising melodic interludes! The contrast is nice.
