Words A Game was an emotional hardcore band who were active in the mid-90s. The band shared members with Owltian Mia, The Candyland Carcrash and Moxa. They only ever released one demo tape and one 12"/CD before they split up and went on into different bands, but what they did release was noteworthy.
Words A Game definitely has s similar sound to Owltian Mia, however something about their work stands out to me a little more. They have a raw, very emotionally driven sound, flip-flopping between softer, sung "emo" vocals and abruptly raw screams. They're one of those bands that, though they are considered hardcore, they're so different from what most would think of in relation to the genre, they almost need their own separate genre.
Their 12" release has a very passionate feel to it, the music is filled with personality and emotion. Even though Owltian Mia is much more popular than Words A Game, something about their music just clicks with me more.
