Daïtro

Daïtro was a French screamo band from Lyon. They formed in 2000 as a four-piece band, but following the departure of their original bass player, Gwen and Aurelien joined, and they played as a five-piece from then on.^[2] The line-up consists of lead singer Aurelien Verdant, guitarist and singer Julien Paget, bassist Gwenaël Grosclaude, guitarist Samuel Moncharmont (1981-2021) and drummer Benoît Desvignes. They announced in 2012 that they were breaking up,^[3] and most of the members have moved on to other musical endeavours.

Music style

Daïtro plays a brand of chaotic hardcore punk that closely resembles that of the original

Daïtro, along with many of their European and American contemporaries, were hugely inspirational to a new generation of screamo and post-hardcore bands that appeared in the late 2000s and early 2010s, such as Pianos Become the Teeth and Touché Amoré.
