Emo music
 

Recommend me some good emo music.
Inhuman I'm looking in your direction!

Rites of Spring, maybe.

Any Emo/Screamo from the early 90s San Diego scene.
Heroin
Antioch Arrow
Clikitat Ikatowi
Swing Kids
the VSS

Hmmm can I listen to some Heroin somewhere on the internet? I've been meaning to check them out for a long time and I can't find anything by them on the internetz.

I don't know. I could upload some stuff for you later maybe.

I would appreciate it a lot!

mewithoutYou: the soundtrack to a distraught ex-fiancee screaming outside the balcony of his once girlfriend's flat.

The Fall of Troy: Scene goodness with very catchy wanky guitars.

Nah. I hate it when people name these guy whenever someone wants to hop ontop of their "I know where emo started" rockin'-horse.

Rites of Spring were punk rock with a bit of melody, not unlike the Clash or many others before them.

Yeah, but they're still a good listen either way.

rites of spring
embrace
dag nasty (kinda)
portraits of past

indian summer

did you hear the new one? god it's atrocious!!

they went downhill the minute they signed to equal vision.

Haha, no problem, here's the ones that I'm really into:

Hardcore punk-type emo
Rites of Spring
City of Caterpillar
Saetia [FUCKIN SICK]
Off Minor
Hot Cross [FUCKIN SICK]
pg. 99 [FUCKIN SICK]
Daitro
Raein
Moss Icon [audio]
Phoenix Bodies
Cap'n Jazz
Joan Of Arc
Owls

Post-Emo (emo, slowed down)
Mineral
Sunny Day Real Estate

I definitely recommend Saetia and Hot Cross if you want a REALLY authentic, sad sounding vocals. Billy Werner does it so so well

Thanks for the link, I really like them! I remember a while ago I was confused because someone was talking about this band, and I thought they were reffering to Raein, not Rain, and they're both emo

One of my favorite bands ever.

Rob, you also know that like all of their songs are mostly about God and less about girls.

Antioch Arrow I'll cosign with, I got tired of Rites of Spring after the third or so listen to the album, VSS is ok, so is universal order of armageddon, and rites of spring is emo, clash might of had melodies but they only had one whiney love song, rites of spring made a whole album about Guy not getting enough BJers.

any other band mentioned in this thread so far > the clash

This thread is indicative as to why the term 'emo' should be left behind; No one knows what the fuck it is yet everyone claims they're the only ones who know. People have all named bands which sound completely different.

LittlePuppetBoy, yes Rites of Spring are a fucking good listen.

emo has a very distinct sound to me. i think promise ring, cap'n jazz, sunny day real estate, you know.. lots of intermingling quiet guitars, emotional unconfident unsure vocals with deep introspective emotive lyrics, some complex time signatures but all contained in a rock form.

anyway, my all time favorite "Emo" record is sunny day real estate - lp2. i also love clikitat ikatowi's "conducted/orchestrated by", which to me sounds like something at the drive in listened to about 600 times. speaking of which, i'd say "acrobatic tenement" is pretty damn emo! i'd also reccomend jawbreaker - dear you and 24 hour revenge therapy, which don't fit the emo template, but i'm not sure if it fits any template...

oh, i forgot to add, i don't know how phoenix bodies are considered emo.. that's screamo daughters-type stuff right there.

also, since i'm bringing up the daughters on the sonic youth message board now and probably never will again, does anyone know why the singer decided to sound like david yow on their last album? not that i'm complaing but yeah.

most reccomendations on this board are good. did anyone reccomend 400 years or bats and mice? that's some good shit. also, the cap'n jazz/owls dudes made another band called make believe, who i saw a while back.. that shit's definitely emo.. with some of the weirdest guitar playing ever. yep.

i suggested bands that have been mentioned as emo at one point or another, it's not like there's a sound going on.

anyhoo, i thought dude from daughters burnt out his voice and the rest of the band got tired of playing super fast all the time. still, hell songs kicks the shit out of the horrors.

American Football have some nice tunes, the singer and songwriter (Mike Kinsella) was originally the drummer from Cap'n Jazz.

Yea, anything Mike or Tim Kinsella related , is worth checking out.

oh I LOVE hell songs.

i hated canada songs.

Kids In Glass Houses
When Reason Sleeps
The Guns
The Blackout
Jump The Underground
Emo Girl In Trouble
Funeral For A Friend (Early)

All the above are from South Wales. Living in Cardiff, going to gigs and such the infamous Valleys Post-Hardcore scene is impossible to avoid.

thursday is my fave.

I seen Thursday Live once actually, very energetic band

really? i find them really generic, their new album is way better.

Thanks for the link, I really like it!

agreed.

Hundred Reasons (Ideas Above Our Station... first album)

Well I think FFAF's Best album was their second 'Hours'. I'm not a fan, but I dig the odd track. Like I said most of the UK's Post-Hardcore (or emo, but these guys would kill you) is coming from near where I live. When your 18 whether you are into it or not its almost unavoidable. You tend to know people from the bands or people who know people in these bands.

Yeah we're actually to blame for a lot of it. and the areas attributed to a lot of modern emo stuff..

I like how most of the early 90's emo bands broke up after one or two albums. Like they all had severe emotional problems or something.

Moss Icon and Indian Summer are the only two I've ever cared for.

Off Minor hell yeah.

I'd reccomend:
Sunny Day Real Estate
Cap'n Jazz
At The Drive-In

Additionally, some people consider Weezer and Fugazi as emo music, though I don't really agree with that tag they are awesome nonetheless.

frail

Their guitar riffs constantly got ripped off by Emo bands for awhile though.

uhler, I get the feeling you haven't been around as much as usual. Why is this so?
