Texas, Hold Me – now that’s the indie/emo split single you absolutely didn’t realize was missing from your winter playlist.
From Denton, my point of you exploded onto the scene this year. They’ve been pulling in devoted fans of emo, indie rock, and post-hardcore from literally everywhere across the country.
"catapult" kicks things off as the first track. It’s this brilliant fusion of all three genres, featuring a high/low vocal dynamic paired with distorted guitar work. That half-time bridge? It’ll transport you straight back to the ’90s without warning.
San Antonio’s screamo/post-hardcore quintet at first, at first delivers their piece called "ballista."
This track feels like the obvious next step after "catapult" – it’s riding that exact same nostalgia wave, but with their own twist.
There’s this understated lo-fi quality that flows seamlessly from the rapid-fire opening into the more contemplative middle section. And honestly, if you’re into those buttery-smooth transitions into screamo vocals, just wait for the finale.
