YAGE was one of the bands that got me into screamo music. In the early 2000s Level-Plane Records was pushing this German band hard - mostly because their last few releases were stellar.

In the beginning, YAGE was more about speed and spasms. The 'Some Things... 7" and '13-17-October 84' cd showcase the band at their most controlled yet chaotic on the tracks "Mitglied Im Club", "I Have Gun You Too" and "One Way Ticket Des Lebens".

By the end, the band was a frontrunner for most innovative screamo band. The sheer amount of space and dynamics the band works with and weaves so well - I mean, goddamn - take a listen to "Lange Leugenbeine" and "We Lost Beauty" from their 'Anders Leben' record. This release took a new and very expansive approach to balancing atmospheric/indie rock with screamo and punk/hardcore.

The band's other output is decent, but doesn't stand out like the songs I have listed above. YAGE's complete discography (or, at least, the closest thing I've ever seen posted as such) is located below. Check this band out if you like broken English and Level-Plane styled European screamo. I sure as hell do.
