Awakebutstillinbed is an emo/post-hardcore band from San Jose. Formed in 2017 by lead singer and guitarist Shannon Taylor, Awakebutstillinbed began releasing demos on the music sharing site Bandcamp, and joined the growing number of bands calling themselves “extremo”- falling somewhere between the solemn and lonely lyrics and punk musicianship of traditional emo, and the emotion, anger, and occasional screaming of screamo.

Awakebutstillinbed released their debut album what people call low self-esteem is really just seeing yourself the way that other people see you in early 2018. Each song has a title only one word long, with titles like ‘Opener’ ‘Interlude’ and ‘Closer’. Taylor’s yowling, emotional, and unique voice tells stories of lost exes, being broken, and being lost. The tales she tell are simple and raw, but familiar and emotional.
awakebutstillinbed is currently touring in support of their album.
