May 25th - DAITRO closes out European screamo week

This post's artist (DAITRO) is from the April 2013 Mix, this is track #20.

I don't know how many more times I can try and describe this sound or say 'European screamo' before I start losing readers. I'll keep this as short and concise as possible.

DAITRO is dirty and DAITRO is beautiful. They play passionate post-hardcore that dabbles in fast, hectic parts and slow, drawn-out melodic passages that are littered with high pitched screaming - sometimes from two alternating vocalists. They have very DIY packaging and releases in general, with very limited releases that include extensive booklets filled with articles written by the band. My favourite releases include the 'Laisser Vivre Les Squelettes' and the split 10" with Raein because of the packaging and swirled coloured-vinyl, which includes the song 'Un Bateau Ivre' (The Drunk Boat) that starts with a screeching onslaught of bouncy/dirty screamo, but later turns into a breathtaking slow drum build that climaxes after a few minutes into an epic breakdown. This was the song that got me in to DAITRO and perfectly captures their bipolar sound. Unfortunately they broke up late last year. DAITRO was amazing and sounds similar to bands like Amanda Woodward, Aussitot Mort, Kaospilot, Louise Cyphre, Death of Anna Karina, La Quiete, Raein, Sed Non Satiata and Yage. That wasn't all that concise. Meh.
