Is this screamo? I dont think so, not enough screaming. Maybe its just DC-style emo? Not sure. What I do know is that Im 35 years old and into a lot of different types of punk/alterna-rock but Im not into this style of music. We Talked About Murder play that meandering post hardcore sound which just sounds ominous and important due to the minor-key discordant quality to it, but when you really listen closer, its usually just a bunch of semi-melancholy kids complaining about nothing in general. Fugazi were pretty good, and they usually have something to say, but these semi-obscuro "pop-screamo!?!" kids just dont seem to have the juice.
