About: This is widely considered the first Midwest emo band and the first 2nd wave emo band. They are one of the most influential bands to the genre. The band’s spinoffs include Joan of Arc, The Promise Ring, Make Believe, Owls, Owen, American Football, and Ghosts and Vodka. Nowadays, they get back together once every 7 years, usually playing small, local shows. They’ve already played this year, but keep an eye out come 2031!

god i love saetia. in their time they took a stranger and more experimental approach towards screamo, but as time went on their influence on screamo proved to be enormous. really hoping to catch them before they stop playing permanently
