Coretta Scott is a rock band from Spokane, Washington.
Coretta Scott were formed in 2003 in Spokane, Washington. While the band were part of the "Screamo" movement, they often shunned the "emo" title of the period onstage, in their music (specifically, the song Fashionably Depressed) and in interviews, often encouraging people to "remember what it was like to be happy and just love music.". The band was also known for their extensive touring in their active years, listing over 300 shows on their official site.
Scream & Shout
After signing to Rise Records, the band released their full-length album Scream & Shout in August 2005. The hype leading up to its release propelled the band to the #1 spot for most hits on the PureVolume charts, topping much larger Major label bands such as Fallout Boy, Taking Back Sunday and Emery. The album was also well received by critics, with reviews in from magazines like OutBurn, iTunes and favorable mentions in Alternative Press. Absolutepunk.net described the band as having "a gift for writing catchy tunes that won’t leave your head for days."
