HI APRIL!


you like Owen, right?

check out Deep Elm as a whole, they have lots of good stuff, and they do crazy deals like 20 albums for $17 so you'd be sure to discover something in there for less than you'd normally pay for 1 CD.


Deep Elm is so shit

They haven't put out a decent record since i was 4.


If

I get Fightstar among my 20 CDs, I'll punch someone in the willy.


My little brother is 8

he wants to dye his hair black to be 'emo', but he's scared the people at his ballet class will laugh at him. GUTTED.


check out

the new amsterdams.
especially if you're a Get Up Kids fan, if not...they're still pretty neat.

not all necessarily "emo", but you'll like them.


Mineral

Texas Is The Reason
The Promise Ring
Get Up Kids
Cap'n Jazz
Taking Back Sunday (oh yes, I just went there)

All of the above are ace. I'm always open to more good emo recommendations.


Sometimes you need a guy screaming about girls, to RIFFS

I've really tried, really really really, but Taking Back Sunday genuinely only have 7-8 ok songs.

I mean if they had ten, I could at least make a playlist that could respect itself - but I just can't, if a band has that many releases without ten belters then I just don't understand.


hahaha

you love it


look mexico


GOOD SHOUT


you probaly like the already but mineral

sappy emo at its finest


i dont understand

why everyone keeps calling iwacs emo.


Hey Mercedes

Mock Orange is win.


We keep having the same thread.

Sinaloa

+1 to Braid, Indian Summer and Kickball.

I wouldn't count Cursive, I was a cub scout, Jeniferever, Brand New or JEW as emo at all.


well yr wrong

so rack off.


Big yes to Algernon Cadwallader

I'd count those bands as emo of a sort. They're all good anyway


Sunny Day Real Estate

It's where it all began.

+ anything related to Kinsella is usually gold.


RATM

.

j


LOL

SDRE is sappy pop punk.


If you really liked emo

You wouldn't call it emo.


ouch


this is actually

my favourite post on here in ever :)


this thread...

makes me cry.


Jesus.

Jeniferever?!

This is a good starting point: http://ubb.kerrang.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=909768&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1

Read VLV and Collective Zine for new bands.


hurrah

collective zine people forever!


The Mock Heroic - 8

What the fuck's that about?

You're tripping. They're the only band worth rating on this site.


haha.

oh i'll put it as 10 then. you are right!


stick to...

collective zine. the site is back and everything. reviews ahoy! :)


Yeah, but even CZ is really cliquey

I steer clear of pretty much every forum on the net apart from here...and i don't know why.


hmm.

i wouldn't say that is completely true. but a lot of people know each other in real life on there because of the gigs they put on and probably because of how long its been around.

just say hi :) it really is a nice place, get involved and be nice! hehe.


Cursive

are not emo. Idiot.


have you heard any of their albums?

(-their latest 2)


Yes

and I don't think they sound emo.


Or

does the hyphen denote a minus, in which case: No, I haven't heard any of their earlier albums and can't judge. But their latest two albums certainly don't sound emo.


Cursive are well emo.

And if he likes bright eyes its a good place to go to.

Other Kasher stuff is good too, especially The Good Life.

Far anyone?


Far

are good, i'm not sure they're that emo.


Elliott

sadly defunct but False Cathedrals is well worth checking out...


Thursday

Thursday - Full Collapse.


some amazing songs on there

but the second half is a bit of a letdown really.


THE GET UP KIDS

I won't hear a bad word said about them. Get "something to write home about" and slightly more pop "Guilt Show".


Engine Down

Might be a really good one for you...oh, and try Casket too.


please like Sherwood, just for me

they are ghey and emo and poppy, but really lovely


Desaparcidos

Settlefish
Brandston
Bob Tilton (If you can class them as "emo")


Snowden

Anti-Anti is pretty amazing.


cap'n jazz

johnny foreigner
don't know if they are emo though


Things that are better than Emo
