Do we have an emo music thread?

The big guy has always been in the band. Assume that is who you mean since he looks older

 

I stand corrected

 

Underoaths, They’re Only Chasing Safety is 20 this year also if you want to feel incredibly old.

 

Another flawless album. Still gets regularly played.

 

I saw on my shuffle the other day that NFG's first album came out in 1999.

The NINETIES

 

Get your shit together folks. Big guy has been in Thursday forever. The other guitar player though has not. It’s Norman Brannon from Texas Is The Reason. Smdh.

Also, War All The Time is the best Thursday record.

 

No

 

Jet Black New Year is the best song.

For the Workforce, Drowning does hit hard when it comes on in the morning as I'm working out then heading into my soulless life sucking corporate job

 

No.

Best song? No. Great song. Yes.

 

Just wanted to remind the thread that one hill I’m willing to die on is that Great Romances of the 20th Century was, is and always will be a better song than Cute Without the E.

 

Saw Hawthorne Heights, Thursday, Anberlin, and Armor for Sleep last week. Had a blast, but the pleasant surprise was Anberlin with Matty Mullins from Memphis May Fire on vocals they were waaaay better with him on the mic.

 

Was it the St. Aug show?

 

Went to Orlando

 

I can confirm tonight that seeing The Get Up Kids play Something to Write Home About is just incredible.

Matt Pryor’s voice is still like it was in the 90s

 

going to the Brooklyn show. Stoked

 

How did I miss this tour. Ugh

 

Was a blast and they were done by 11, they know their audience.

 

Obviously not on Something To Write Home About, but greatness

Please don’t hate me Amy

 

I totaled my first car when I was 16 as “Coming Clean” was blaring on my radio. Great TGUK song.

 

Hot Mulligan—the best band in the scene right now—just dropped a new single, and it’s fire as always.

 

Oh damn. New Motion City Soundtrack?

 

Don’t know where else to put this but Matty Mullins from Memphis May Fire is singing for Anberlin now and I saw him with them a couple of months ago and he was GREAT. They just dropped a new single from a music track from 05 that Marty put words to and it is a banger imo.

 

Stephen didn’t want to tour anymore but is still with the band, so Matty is their touring singer now. Also put out some singles to promote.

 

Correct, and quite honestly he was significantly better than Stephen ever was imo.

 

Tim Walz used “Never Meant” by American Football in a video on the socials. Holy fuck.

 

MCS first two albums are great, saw them live a bunch of times.

 

Another Halloween-related banger from the kings in Driveways dropped.

 

New single from Driveways and full-length from Tiny Moving Parts out today.

 

My Chem sold out Dodger Stadium so fast they already added a 2nd date (coincidentally the same weekend as Warped Tour out here)

 

One of my favorite albums of the last 10 years. Just complete magic from start to finish. Really wish this tour was coming to Florida.

 

Welcome to the Black Parade, easy.

 

Rites of Spring - For Want Of

 

well I mean what wave are we talking here

 

This man knows ball emo.

 

I mean it might just be Cute Without the E. Not even my favorite TBS song but it lands the plane on a ton of emo themes and expectations.

 

Couple that pop into my head:

Cap’n Jazz - Little League
Mineral - Gloria
Sunny Day Real Estate - In Circles
American Football - Never Meant
The Get Up Kids - A Newfound Interest in Massachusetts
Brand New - The Quiet Things that No One Ever Knows
Taking Back Sunday - Cute without the E
Hawthorne Heights - Ohio is for Lovers
Something Corporate - Konstantine

 

Starting line- best of me

 

The crossover with emo/pop punk/screams makes this nearly impossible.

 

also it bridges the generations of the stuff - I don't meant to speak for all the cap'n jazz/SDRE scenesters but that song hits great still - and I assume connected with the hot topic generation thereafter

 

Brand New, Jesse Lacey in particular, can fuck themselves.

 

oh no, is he a sex pest?

 

yep. big piece of shit.

 

Wait, you’ve not heard the Jesse Lacey stuff?
