This is our weekly roundup of new screamo, skramz, powerviolence and hardcore. It covers June 6 to June 14, 2026, picking up where last week's roundup left off. We checked the usual sources for the column: the r/Hardcore weekly thread, r/screamo, IDIOTEQ, Good Guys Go Grind, No Echo and a set of dated Bandcamp searches. Ten records made the list, all out this week. Each one has an embedded player so you can hear it in full.
- 鼠鼠鼠 the three mice's where is my mice? is our pick of the week: a Chinese screamo debut LP that buries walls of guitars and screams under bittersweet, layered melody.
- Screamo and emo ran deep, with You Are Not Brave Enough in Albany, junejunejuly in Germany and the reactivated Niño Symbol Ohhh! in Chile.
- The heavy end delivered too: UK crust veterans Extinction of Mankind, Paris metallic hardcore from Charge, plus powerviolence, grind and d-beat from Bathwater, Morsure, MotorDeath / Eraser and Genocide Commandos.
1. 鼠鼠鼠 the three mice: where is my mice?
鼠鼠鼠 the three mice are from Shenzhen, China, and where is my mice? is their first full-length, out June 10, 2026 on Small Animals Records. The songs were written across 2022 to 2026, recorded and produced by Jilong. The band is k, la, bolin and jun on vocals, bolin on guitar, la on bass, jun on keyboard and glockenspiel, and ChaI on drums.
This is the one to start with. Beneath the walls of guitars and screaming there is a whole world of bittersweet, layered emotion, with the longest tracks pushing past seven minutes and shoegaze and slowcore creeping in at the edges. A patient, devastating screamo record, and our favorite release of the week.
2. Extinction of Mankind: Slaves To No One
Extinction of Mankind are long-running UK crust, and Slaves To No One is thirteen tracks of it, released June 13, 2026. The band put the vinyl out themselves, with the CD and tape handled by 783label. This is filthy, metallic stenchcore in the Amebix and Antisect tradition, played by people who have been doing it for decades.
It is the heavyweight of the week. Thirteen songs of churning d-beat and crust with a low end like a collapsing building, the closer dropping to barely a minute after a string of three-minute crushers. If you want the most punishing thing here, this is it.
3. You Are Not Brave Enough: Never Ending Hell on Earth Nightmare
You Are Not Brave Enough are from Albany, New York, and Never Ending Hell on Earth Nightmare is five tracks, released June 12, 2026. The band describes it plainly as a record about being young and trans and scared and in love. The lineup is Jack on vocals, guitar and synth, Brendan on drums, RJ on bass, Flynn on lead guitar and Aubrey on synth and sound design.
The songs run long for screamo, three to five minutes each, with noise-rock and shoegaze textures washing over the screaming. It is emotional and loud in equal measure, the kind of record that earns its title. One of the strongest US screamo EPs of the week.
4. Charge: Obedience Through Violence
Charge are a metallic hardcore band from Paris, France, and Obedience Through Violence is their debut EP, six tracks released June 12, 2026 after the singles "The Delay" and "The Rope." It is Fabrice Tedaldi on vocals, guitars and bass and Julien Patoue on drums, mixed and mastered by Benjamin Terrier.
The band calls it dense, short and unrelenting, six songs about control, obedience, waiting and collapse, from the opening "Prologue" to the impossible rest of "No Rest Below." A descent with no way out, and every track lands like its name suggests. Strong, heavy hardcore with a powerviolence streak.
5. junejunejuly: a false warmth
junejunejuly are from Herford, Germany, and a false warmth is their debut, five tracks out June 12, 2026. The band is Maximilian Schulz on vocals, guitar and melodica, Filip Grbovic on vocals and guitar, Nikola Koutoukas on bass and vocals, and Bennet Fuchs on drums, with Bennet also recording, mixing and mastering it.
It sits right on the line between emo and skramz, melodic and aching one moment, ragged and screamed the next. The lyrics are raw and direct, opening with a line about spitting out a heart covered in saliva. A promising first record from a young German band.
6. Bathwater.: Demo 2026
Bathwater. are from Boston, and Demo 2026 is five tracks, released June 7, 2026. The band sums it up itself: five "songs" of power violence worship, recorded on a GoPro. The tags are powerviolence and fastcore, and the recording is exactly as raw as the description promises.
Nothing here cracks ninety seconds, with most songs in and out under a minute. It is blown-out, scrappy and fast, the sound of a band slamming out a first demo with no fuss. If you want the rawest powerviolence of the week, start here.
7. Niño Symbol Ohhh!: Espacios vacíos
Niño Symbol Ohhh! formed in Santiago, Chile, back in 2004, in the city's screamo and emoviolence scene. They went quiet in 2010, then came back in 2022, and Espacios vacíos is seven tracks sung in Spanish, released June 13, 2026. The art is by Anibal Bley and it was produced by Ariel Fernández-Pavez.
The record lives between the emotional and the chaotic, melody and dissonance colliding the whole way through. The new material is more direct and rawer than their early work, closing on the six-and-a-half-minute "Lux." A welcome return from a band that helped build the Chilean screamo scene two decades ago.
8. Morsure: Violence De Fond De Rang
Morsure are from Saint-Georges-de-Windsor, Québec, dealing in powerviolence and hardcore. Violence De Fond De Rang is seven tracks, released June 7, 2026, and it was recorded live on May 2, 2026 at la vache du ROCK, captured and mixed by Guy Thibault of Band De Garage. The song "Peur De Rien" is exclusive to this release.
Recording it live suits the material, all jagged French-Canadian powerviolence with the room noise left in. The tracks swing from sub-minute bursts to a six-and-a-half-minute closer, which is a lot of range for a band this fast. Worth a listen if you like your PV with grit on it.
9. MotorDeath / Eraser: Split
This split came out June 6, 2026 on Wrong Disk Records, with a 7" vinyl edition on the way. MotorDeath are a DIY death-punk band from Thessaloniki, Greece, recorded back in March 2025. Eraser are old-school grindcore from Palermo, Italy: Vinz on drums, Vik on vocals, Krosty on bass and Ramses on guitar.
Each band takes a side, and the contrast works. MotorDeath bring the d-beat-tinged death-punk, Eraser the blasting Italian grind, most of their tracks gone in under a minute. A tidy little international split for anyone who lives in the grind and crust underground.
10. Genocide Commandos: Their Profit Reeks Of Death
Genocide Commandos are a two-person project from Toronto: SR on vocals and ZS on guitars, bass, drums, electronics and vocals. Their Profit Reeks Of Death is fourteen tracks, recorded across May and June 2026 and released June 13, 2026, with ZS handling the art, mixing and mastering.
It is d-beat raw punk smeared with noisecore and grind, songs flying past in twenty to ninety seconds, one of them clocking in at twelve seconds. Loud, ugly and relentless, it is the perfect blown-out note to close the week on.
Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as skramz, and how is it different from screamo?
Skramz is just an affectionate nickname for old-school, chaotic late-90s screamo, the raw and dissonant end of the genre. Functionally it means the same thing as screamo. This week 鼠鼠鼠 the three mice, junejunejuly and You Are Not Brave Enough all sit squarely in that lineage.
When did these records come out?
All ten releases came out between June 6 and June 14, 2026. We pulled every date straight from the band's own Bandcamp credits line, not from aggregator feeds that lag a week or two on these micro-genres.
Where can I hear the full releases?
All of it is streaming in full on Bandcamp, and every record above has an embedded player. Buy the ones you like. Bandcamp pays bands far better than the streamers do, and most of these releases are name-your-price.
That is the week: ten releases, from 鼠鼠鼠 the three mice's patient Chinese screamo to a twelve-second Toronto blast, with UK crust, Paris metallic hardcore and Québec powerviolence in between. Catch up on last week's picks, or browse the full weekly roundup archive. Back next week.
