Only For The Sake Of Aching are a pretty dope German screamo band. Kinda punk, kinda just really good skramz. I posted their split with The Third Memory a while ago, hopefully some people snagged that. OFTSOA has mainly put out splits, which is fucking dope. All the bands they have worked with are really cool. There was a collections album released which compiled all of their splits and their EP, which is below. I also just went ahead and added the original releases so yall can get the tracks from the other bands, and because Robot Society has an Intro and Outro which is not on the collection album (unless it is called something different). I'm almost positive you can buy their stuff online so please go do so. Don't think this band is really active anymore but hopefully they will do some new stuff soon.
Heres a video of some of their set at Cry Me A River Fest in 2007.
Dominic is a four piece post hardcore/screamo band from Norway. They have been around since 2004 and have a slew of releases out with tons of dope labels, including Denovali, Ape Must Not Kill Ape and Utarid Tapes. If you go to their facebook and get on their discography you can see all the different formats their stuff is on and who put it out.
Dominic's music is pretty driving and melodic. Shit can get kind of crazy at times, but for the most part they stay somewhat linear. It's not twinkly or mathy or spazzy, just good solid post hardcore, you know? I've been listening to this band on and off for a while not, but recently I started bumping them alot harder because I found their new stuff. It is so good. I mean its all really good, but their new stuff is dope. Nord made me feel happy about new music that is coming out.
Below is all their discography up to this point. Its everything they have on their discography page, as best as I could tell. Download it, enjoy it, then buy it so they can keep on putting out good records.
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.

Cease Upon The Capitol were a screamo band from Nashville, Tennesse who have since broken up and formed Dolcim and Sanctions. Their sound is pretty typical of a post 2000 skramz act, as in their sound is a mixture of post-rock, punk, hardcore, screamo and thrash. They sound like a softer version of June Paik, or a darker Raein. As far as American screamo is concerned, Cease Upon The Capitol is amongst the best, in my mind. I highly recommended CUTC if you like any of the bands above, along with The Third Memory or City of Caterpillar. You can still find their records online, go buy them. Aside from their Lps and EPs, they have a demo, Splits with The Third Memory, Trikorona and Silbato, and were featured on the Emo Apocalypse and Armageddon. Below is everything they have released, aside form the split with The Third Memory, and a video of them playing "Protocol Of The Left" in France back in '06.
