Recorded music, for a change

From the WFMU Record Fair a few years back. Going through some old photos...

Another concert, another concert photo

I took this picture last Friday in a small all-ages club located in the middle of a strip mall in suburban Virginia. I went with a music photographer friend to hear a handful of bands play short back-to-back sets of screamo music--a new experience for me. Screamo is basically hardcore emo music. The screamo scene originated in San Diego but has amassed quite a large following on the East Coast, where most of the bands' influences were/are based. Even though the bands have only self-released their CDs or put them out on very small labels, the high school girls standing in front of me were gushing over the guys in the bands like they were the Jonas Brothers, and they knew all the words to the songs by heart. Anyway, I'm pretty sure that the name of this band is This Time Never, which, incidentally, is a pretty cool name for a band.
