maybe--the DC denim jacket+patches kids all go to the hc/grindcore shows in basements that i'm going to fewer and fewer of these days. the stuff that'd go in this thread seems to attract other strata.

Always superconfusing to go to a record store and look for dillinger four only to come across some assholes from australia

(they have sort of a dillinger four-esque sound imo inasmuch as their sound can be differentiated from the masses of pop punk)

Fuck. Artifex Pereo.
I mean, primarily in terms of the timbre of dude's voice.

Good god, memory overload. Crazy thinking about all these bands that slipped through the tracks in the early 00s that probably would be welcomed with open arms and have an easier time finding an audience if they were around today

is this the thread where we talk about Tigers Jaw's "Charmer"? because I am liking Tigers Jaw's "Charmer" quite a bit.

here you can stream the new driver friendly record http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKAm0swRNckvuGdGkLQJDbyd2zjw-q2fg

every recommendation in this thread should come with a Singy/Shouty Gauge ... like:
"digging the new Burrowing Deep Into A Blanket Of Stars album ... 70/30 Singy/Shouty ... stream it here: LINK"
i like guitars and emo/pop-punk/bullshit, and i don't mind shouty but i prefer singy ... or at least some singy mixed in with the shouty. knowing right where a record falls on that spectrum would be sweet.
― alpine static, Wednesday, 9 July 2014 01:58 (nine years ago) link
oh yeah that's probably a good idea
driver friendly is like 100/0 singy/shouty. it is definitely not as good as bury a dream though
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Wednesday, 9 July 2014 07:13 (nine years ago) link
Yeah it's not quite as striking as Bury a Dream, but their records always sound so good. Every tone on this album is so crisp and alert; I wish more albums were produced like this
― Evan R, Wednesday, 9 July 2014 14:25 (nine years ago) link
i'm really coming around to the driver friendly now actually. way more upbeat than bury a dream but i think "undone" is one of their best songs. also yeah best guitar tones in the game
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Monday, 14 July 2014 19:44 (nine years ago) link
and now i can't stop listening to it. it's on spotify for, uh, easier listening than youtube http://open.spotify.com/album/40PYpebL41PqseFC7SgrgX
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Tuesday, 15 July 2014 14:12 (nine years ago) link
and so far the new dikembe is very good http://pitchfork.com/advance/496-mediumship/
100/0 singy/shouty although i don't think they can really sing
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Tuesday, 15 July 2014 17:37 (nine years ago) link
Do people on thread know Basement? Never heard of them but apparently an English band that went on hiatus in 2012 and just reunited. Not really a band name amenable to ILX search. Maybe 80/20 singy/shouty and this new song is really good:
http://noisey.vice.com/blog/basement-summers-colour-further-sky-premiere
Their previous album Colourmeinkindness is on spotify and is great, reminds me a bit of Balance and Composure with the chunky 90s alt-rock aspects.

Milwaukee's Sugar Stems aren't really emo or pop-punk BUT they are very poppy and they're on Dirtnap (punky!) and there is no rolling power-pop or even indie thread (that I can find) so I have to post here that their new album has quickly become one of my favorites of 2014. the hooks on this thing are out of control:
http://www.avclub.com/article/hear-sugar-stems-starry-eyed-new-power-pop-album-o-206908
i think it sounds like The Muffs if Kim hadn't ever discovered punk rock.
if there is a better thread for this, lemme know, otherwise i figure you melody-friendly lot might like it.
