Tipping Canoe was an emocore band from Amherst , Massachusetts / United States .
history
The band, which was founded in the late 1990s, was part of the town's small emo or hardcore punk scene, where other emo / screamo bands were founded, including Ampere and Wolves .
The band released a split with Snacks in 1999 and another with Ettil Vrye , but only after a demo of the group first appeared. The album of the same name by Tipping Canoe was also released in 2000 .
style
The style of the band can be described as classic emotional hardcore . Slow DC hardcore with quiet guitar walls and emotionally sung words, paired with more chaotic, hard riffs and screams as well as screaming text parts.
“[Tipping Canoe] played rocking emo very much in the mid 90's hardcore style. Lots of force and drive, mixed up with tangled melodies and impassioned screamy / sung vocals. They also tend to blend in a slightly mathy angle to the whole proceedings. ”
The band's sound is compared to groups like Policy of 3 or Four Hundred Years .
