It's pretty new AFAIK. I think it just came out last week?

New Taking Back Sunday album coming out (at least acc. to AMP Magazine). It's called New Again. First single (I think), and they've got a new guitarist - Matthew Fazzi - and... it really doesn't sound anything like them :(

Blah. That'll teach me for posting a youtube link without confirming it's the right song first. It's here:

I'm excited for the new Taking Back Sunday, they always manage a couple of good songs per album. I'm listening to the Two Tongues again right now, growing on me with each listen. Bemis' contributions are certainly the better of the two, but I've always had a soft spot for Conley's whine - so this is a pretty good pairing to my ears.

New Say Anything coming out (that first single is awesome IMHO), new Brand New coming out AND new Thrice coming out. It's like 2003 all over again!

Love the new Motion City Soundtrack. I was never really into them before, but something good happened when they signed to a major label. Much hookier.

Btw, if no one noticed, I use this thread as a Rolling Emo Boys thread, not just for 2007.

Yes, the new Motion City Soundtrack is pretty damn good! Glad I gave it a chance. I never liked anything I've heard off the previous two albums, but I was a big fan of I Am the Movie. Still nothing as good as "The Future Freaks Me Out", but "Her Words Destroyed My Planet" does a good job trying. Not a big fan of "History Lesson" though, the Flogging Molly touch just does not work.

Just dug out Through Being Cool and Stay What You Are this week for the first time in several years. They were favorites of mine when I was getting over a breakup in 2002, and I'm really surprised at how well they've held up. Before I knew the word "emo", I just called them "whineyboy". I never really got into emo though, other than Thrice/Thursday-ish screamo stuff, which is in a different league altogether, perhaps. I might try to investigate stuff like Say Anything and Motion City Soundtrack this week, just for kicks.

Also check out the new Gaslight Anthem + Against Me!. Good year for Warped Tour'ish bands.

the soundguy at a recent show i went to was playing through being cool in between bands. i'm sure it was the delicate balance of nostalgia, booze, and weed, but "you vandal" was about the most perfect thing to my ears at that moment
