High+School

H2O - Guilty By Association media type="youtube" key="Re5ssASTA88" height="344" This was my first foray into the world of Punk. The attitude behind the lyrics as well as the singing and guitar style was very attractive to me.

Alexisonfire - Pulmonary Archery media type="youtube" key="e9jdZvAPBT0" height="344" This band got me into screamo, and "the scene". St. Catharines has an annual concert called "S.C.E.N.E." to celebrate their abundance of post-hardcore and indie bands.

Every Time I Die - Ebolarama media type="youtube" key="C29Nz7u6Yqc" height="344" I really had no interest in hardcore before this band, but for some reason the grungy guitars and yelled lyrics sounded great to me. The attitude in this video speaks for itself.

GlassJaw - Tip Your Bartender media type="youtube" key="451SR5PXUGg" height="340" width="560" Glassjaw could start a song screaming with heavy guitars, then move on to a great riff with catchy melodic singing. These guys were one of my favourite bands throughout high school. Watch the crowd.
