Postal is a gnarly metallic deathcore/melodic metalcore band from the 210 who set out with a mission to create y2k core style sounds. With a sonic palette reminiscent of Converge, Zao, On Broken Wings, Boundaries and early Emmure, they've fused multiple genres and come out greater than the sum of said parts. The band have been steamrolling the scene and plan on taking their sound further to the masses.

Boasting insane live performances with great stage presence and a fantastic mix regardless of venue quality; they're going above and beyond.

Incorporating elements of proggy lead lines, 2000's-esque vocals with insane range undulating from soft shoegaze, harsh highs, and the high tenor voice that has been a staple of metalcore and post-hardcore. Showcasing an extremely tight rhythm section, the drum work along with the deep bass locks everything together with a staccato punch as needed.

Postal has recently released a split with Crossways3000, another sick act from the SA area.

Members of both bands made the decision to start a booking collective titled ConceptOfLuv, promoting peace and a welcoming environment for out of state bands to have an avenue into the local scene.

Go spin some Postal!
