Five-O - Discography (1992-1995)


     Five-O was an emo-hardcore band from Little Rock, Arkansas. The band was a staple of File 13 Records and released a scant few 7"s and demo tapes in the early ’90s. I came across them when I first started raiding the 7" stacks here in Calgary at Sloth Records, where I found their 1993 7". Those early emo-hardcore records I picked up were incredibly important to me and ultimately led to the start of the Canadianwasteland project. Hardcore, particularly its more political and emotional side, has made a lasting and profound impact on how I view the world. The lyrics, inserts and writings, and the raw, idealistic perspective they reflected, have continued to motivate me to be a better person and make the world around me a better place to live in. These kids knew what was really important at the end of the day, your friends and your community.

    There is a significant amount of material like this that is at risk of disappearing over time. I really think more people should consider starting their own projects to help compile and preserve what they can; many hands make light work. Efforts like these can help ensure that these records and literature of innate importance are not lost. My deepest thanks and eternal gratitude to Tenzin Tsagong for digitizing the Five-O demos and contributing heavily to the community with his continued good work.

    Five-O was part of the diverse Arkansas scene, which spanned bands like Everyone Asked About You all the way to Econochrist. Five-O's sound ranged from melodic to frenetic, with vocals shifting between sing-screaming and straight up heavy screaming. The rhythm section stands out as well, with downright impressive bass playing and drums locked tightly in tow. Overall Five-O is a band worth checking out and preserving! Please let me know if you have any flyers or live videos I can add to this post.

Lewistown - Discography (1996-1999)

    Lewistown was an emo-core band from Richmond, Virginia. Rarely mentioned outside of their native scene, Lewistown remains one of those hidden gem bands worth seeking out for anyone that is deeply into emocore. The band released music on Bug Records, which put out a handful of solid records before eventually shuttering. Lewistown bolstered a disheveled-yet-melodic heavy sound, marked by some brain-tingling drumming, mid-tempo heavy guitars, groovy bass lines, and throat shredding growls.



I am still missing Lewistown's compilation tracks and will update this post if I can find them in the future!

Eurich - Discography (1994-1996)


    Eurich was an emo-violence band from North Charleston, South Carolina. Like their contemporaries Palatka and In/Humanity, Eurich delivered a blistering, high-intensity sound marked by raw energy and emotional urgency. Lead vocalist and bassist Christine Pilarski completely makes this band with some fucking impressive shrieks, which you could compare to bands like Elements of Need and Bubblejug. Eurich appeared on several stacked compilations and stood out with their distinct blend of chaos and melody. If you have any live footage or posters featuring Eurich, please feel free to share them so this post can be updated with more detail!
