A somewhat recent entry in a blog that I just came across:

Friday, August 13, 2010Agios Dimitrios - Demo
Agios Dimitrios was a short-lived screamo band from Chicago in 2009. Made up of kids who were mostly 18 and younger, their singer, Zak Eveland, was 16 years old. This band was weird because it was a screamo band made up of members from brother/sister folk punk band
Y Lime?, indie band
Blueberry Fist, dance-y pop-y girl-y band
Tony Hawk & The 900, and pop-punk band
Arkansas?. I remember walking up to Zak before of one of the first Agios Dimitrios shows and being like "So... You're in a screamo band now?" It seemed like such a strange combination of people, but it worked. I think they were around for the entirety of the summer; played a few shows, recorded a demo, and then broke up when their drummer moved to Brazil and their singer got shipped off to boarding school by his parents.
They're named after a suburb of Athens, Greece that put out some pretty amazing communiques during the
December 2008 riots following the death of 15-year-old Alexis Grigoropolous.
