90’s Screamo Band

Day 2: A unique revelation occurred this afternoon during lunchtime when I learned one of my co-worker was a lead singer for a screamo band I used to listen to in the late 90’s early 2000’s. I made a comment about his voice as we left the restaurant together and overheard him singing the lyrics to whatever song was playing over the loudspeaker. “My goodness, you have an amazing voice.” I said. “Were you ever in a band?” “Surely with that pitch and tone he must have had some formal training” I thought. His response was a simple “Yes, the band I was in toured around during Warped Tour. Papa Roach was an influence and helped my band sign a record deal.” Well Cool! Not the response I was expecting… Fascinating! “I’m sure I wore one of your band’s t-shirts and own a copy of one of the albums.”
