Paroxetina - Paroxetina [2011]

Paroxetina is an instrumental rock band from Santiago, Chile. They have a lot of elements of math, progressive and post-rock, but above all else they just jam heavy. The riffs are solid, the tones are nice, put it on and get some work done. It just sort of fluidly soars around without ever stopping to take a break. Heavy rock 'n' roll riff after riff. Lots of sound bytes from movies or shows or I don't know what. There's a bunch of neat stuff like this in Chile, so I'll be posting some similar bands later.

Genres: Instrumental Rock, Post Rock, Jam

Luxemburgo - MDXCII [2011]

Luxemburgo is from Santiago, Chile and plays some really beautiful heartfelt emo/screamo. If there's anywhere in Latin America you should be looking for really good screamo, it's Chile. There's a solid history of good stuff especially if you're interested in European/U.S. style screamo (with of course a certain Chilean feel). Luxemburgo uses a lot of strong clean tones and rich overdrives and it's mixed well, overall its just pretty to listen to. There are some nicely anxious jam sections so if you're into longer form this is definitely for you. I really don't know how to talk about this band other than that it's fresh, and you should check it out. This album is their first from 2011, and they have an EP that came out the same year and another LP that came out in 2013.

Genres: Emo, Screamo, Post-hardcore, Punk

Invierno - El Tiempo Lo Probará [2012]

Invierno from Santiago, Chile packs a punch with a strong combination of emo and indie rock, likely to attract fans of one or the other and definitely those who enjoy both. They really create a powerful sound using pop-influenced riffs and structures and the recording quality of this album really emphasizes how tight and clean they are. The vocals are really strong throughout the entire album, moving in and out of the screaming realm at times while maintaining melody and force. Overall, I'd say the band is easy to get along with and is free of surprises.

Genres: Emo, Indie, Alternative
