The Third Memory

The Third Memory was a French screamo band. Real good shit, one of my favorite bands right now. The following is from their myspace:
"The Third Memory is no longer a band.
This was decided after Julien's (guitar) decision to move to Tokyo, Japan. The last songs composed by the band are not planned to be recorded for now. No tour is planned either, but any change will be announced on our myspace page.

The Third Memory was and will always be one of the most intense, exciting, heartflelt and important part of our lives. We send all our love and respect to the people who released our records and organised shows all over the world for us. We enjoyed it as nothing else, and we owe you guys everything. Thank you a thousand times.

The Third Memory is strictly attached to what "punk-hardcore community" means. It must stay the subversive counter-culture it has always been. Please make wisely the difference between the bands who do it for passion, message and heart, and those who do it for the posture.

Julien's work as an artist is fully respectful of the messages spread in the hardcore scene.
Julien (drums) and Adrian (bass) are now playing in the following bands with the same unbridled strength of mind they used playing in The Third Memory : Cavalcads, Supertimor, A Different Day.
Our beloved roadie Peni is handling the record label Petit Chantier Records and keeps helping bands touring."

The Third Memory are featured on three compilations: This Is Your Life, Cité De Chenilles, and The React With Protest Sampler. The first two are available below so I listed the artists who also contributed to the releases. All of their releases except for the split with Cease Upon The Capitol are below, along with a video.

Sed Non Satiata

I first heard about Sed Non Satiata a while back when I first got into Daitro. It's kinda funny because I didn't really care about them until I realized that the tracks I had downloaded were mislabeled and all the tracks that I thought were Daitro's were Sed's, and vice-versa. I'm assuming that most fans of screamo music have the split I'm talking about, which is absolutely phenomenal.

SNS is a French screamo band who I believe are inactive at the moment. Their music is either driving or melodic, as most of the Euro-Skramz bands tend to be. They put out two splits, two full lengths and a demo, all of which are below. I don't have a comp that they did with The Third Memory and Gantz. Here is a video of them playing "Les Hommes Sans Visage".

This may be my last post for a few days, I'm moving back to Maryland for the summer and there isnt internet where I will be spending most of my time. I'll update when I can, but Chug is not dead.

Le Pré Où Je Suis Mort

Le Pré Où Je Suis Mort plays an epic brand of screamo rooted in the European sound - which makes sense because they're from France. Their self titled 12", (their only current release), contains only four songs, but the shortest song clocks in at 6:24.

Le Pré Où Je Suis Mort have mastered a sound that is distinctly European without sounding too much like Daitro or Raein, which is a pit many European screamo bands seem to fall into. The songs are much less disjointed, straying from the emo-violence route taken by some other French bands, such as Mihai Edrisch and The Third Memory. Their style is flowy and distinctly darker than many of the other European bands - imagine Louise Cyphre writing 7 minute long epics with deeper, more abrasive vocals. One of the biggest highlights of this record is the final track, which continues to build up, wash away, and build up again for almost fourteen minutes.

For anyone who was wondering, Le Pré Où Je Suis Mort translates to "The Field [or Meadow] Where I Died".

Amanda Woodward (plus 1905)

Amanda Woodward is a kickass French screamo band. i heard all the lyrics are pretty political, but i have no idea if they really are seeing as i dont speak french. they are not like most "screamo" bands around becuse they arent really pussy (we're looking at you, saetia), nor are they really hardcore; they tiptoe the dividing line quite nicely. pay close attention to the drums on the picture disk.

To date, they have put out four releases, two of which could be called full lengths. They have a two track (what i would call) demo, and a split with another awesome band, 1905.


They dont have an offical myspace, but there are a few fake ones floating around. heres their last.fm: http://www.last.fm/music/Amanda+Woodward
