Computer Science is a hardcore/emo band from Montréal, Canada who formed in 2025. They have released one demo and one album which just came out this December. Featuring members of Eric Spinelli, Cuck Chair and Twine, Computer Science has crafted a nuanced sound that balances eerie soft guitar and spoken parts with heavy hitting breakdowns and shrill screams.
With such a big resurgence in emo, especially in the US, I've noticed a strong lean towards either 2000s style metalcore influenced emo or twinkly more "mid-west" style emo, neither of which I can say have ever really clicked with me. Computer Science on the other hand channels a much more mid-90s, very raw, very DIY sound that I absolutely love. To me they are a perfect mixture of heavy and very emotional and sad. You can hear all of the passion and emotion the band put into writing their music, especially their debut full length.
More and more great bands in this genre are popping up in Canada recently and it makes me so happy to see, Computer Science is not one to miss out on! Looking forward to seeing where this band goes and hoping to see them live at some point.
