Riot Fest 2019 Countdown 4 – Glassjaw and Senses Fail

I put these bands together as they’re similar.  Guess what, they’re not emo or pop punk.  It seems like we’ve had a lot of them lately.  They’re hardcore meets metal.  One was even called “screamo”.  Could be a nice side trip.  But they aren’t an easy listen, which isn’t bad. It just may take the right time and place.  Both are from the NYC area, too.

Glassjaw is from Long Island and another of the Friday conflicts.  Probably won’t make my cut but see for yourself.

They play Friday

Senses Fail are from Jersey.  They lose points doing a Limp Bizkit cover (see the Warped Tour video at 20:00) but recover with a Rage cover.
