Das Plague...

Whereas Hongo was the more crusty, Das Plague was more emo. This has all the makes of screamo greats. Twinkly parts leading to full on emotional waves with low pitched vox like Asedio (lol)... This is great and has some serious instrumentals leading to great goodness. Nowadays there are some more bands like this, but when they hit... They were pretty damn original. If you like this try "maladie"...

Thoughts of Ionesco...

This is by far one of the best emotional hardcore groups from Michigan of all time. That is not opinion it is FACT... Yes twostarsburningsun is quite the contender, but... Thoughts of Ionesco was around before all that, and contains some of the craziest people. The drummer lived in my sub-division, and I worked with the bassist. These guys were damaged. This was all about destruction, insanity, chemical alteration and pure anguish. The condition it took to make this is the condition it takes to lose yourself, lose everything and **** yourself...

These guys were off their **** and well into the deep end. But cool guys, totally... Ask Jeff Deth about their drummer, he could tell some tales about that ****er. These guys also have a DVD, get it, buy it.
