I thought I'd post some highlights from New Friends Fest (not including Pageninetynine because presumably everyone who is interested knows that they sound like already). Too many great bands to name them all but here are a few that blew me away!
Jetsam- great, grindy, screamo influenced power violence stuff. I'd never heard of them before seeing them but they blew me away.
.giffromgod- imagine if Pageninetynine listened to too much white belt metalcore.
Ostraca- best current screamo band? I'm biased because I spent a month on tour with them a few years ago. I watched them every night and would happily watch them every night for another month. Everything they've done has been excellent. 2/3 play in .giffromgod as well. Definitely the highlight of New Friends Fest for me!

Eyelet- unreasonably heavy, sludgy screamo.
