An Incomplete Snapshot of Skramz in Australia, 2001 - 2009

Melbourne, 02.01.25

An incomplete snapshot of skramz, or screamo, music made in Australia from 2001 - 2009. A DIY scene that was preserved poorly due to the prevalence and later unreliability of MySpace and early internet forums, and much of which is still little-known outside of the community it was made.
