What it Felt Like

About

What It Felt Like is a heavy screamo and sasscore band originating from Chicago, Illinois, and a frequent fixture in the Milwaukee DIY music scene. Formed around 2022, the group is a prominent part of the modern Midwest 'nu-skramz' or 'acreamo' wave, characterized by high-intensity vocal delivery, raw technical aggression, and a chaotic live presence. They are well-known for their frequent collaborations and split releases with fellow Midwest acts like The World In Broken Glass. The band gained traction within the regional underground through their 2023 EP 'Remember...', which exemplifies their blend of emotional urgency and abrasive punk energy. They are a staple at Milwaukee-specific venues such as MKE Ultra and are consistently featured on the city's underground show calendars.
