New Rainer Maria single:

Not exactly what I expected, but for a comeback single it has a nice swagger and confidence. That can only bode well for the album.

y'all were right about the sorority noise record

lmao at the way they rip off the cars on "car

I v much liked the last album but this one is a big step up. sits nicely with all the other recent crushing albums about death

anyone know any of these sn openers? Forth Wanderers / The Obsessives / Shannen Moser
― Mordy, Monday, 12 June 2017 00:04 (six years ago) link
Forth Wanderers are good!

I hadn't figured out that Smidley is the Foxing guy...I knew there was a twinge of recognition. Neat record!
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 13:44 (six years ago) link
yeah it kinda sounds like the wackiest possible kevin devine record. it rocks
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 13:52 (six years ago) link
Incidentally I saw KD live a few weeks ago - I thought it was going to be a full band show, instead it was solo. I was a bit disappointed at first but he was great. I teared up in public like a good emo kid.
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 13:55 (six years ago) link
Also he mentioned we can expect another Bad Books record at...some point
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 14:04 (six years ago) link
yesssss
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 14:17 (six years ago) link
OH and imo the new Chastity Belt record counts as emo and it's *great*
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 15:21 (six years ago) link
lol i found that record extremely dull but chastity belt are not for me
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 15:23 (six years ago) link
I can definitely understand that, they're (purposely) not very dynamic, but they key into an emotional register that really works for me

list made me realize that even though i start this thread every year i don't like very many emo revival bands lol
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Wednesday, 14 June 2017 23:01 (six years ago) link
mostly i think the best album on that list by a mile (hop along) is there under false pretenses
also that driver friendly's bury a dream is better than any album on there
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Wednesday, 14 June 2017 23:10 (six years ago) link
missing some other obv choices some of which rated highly in our poll

i would like to go on record suggesting that modern baseball record is only half good
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Wednesday, 14 June 2017 23:16 (six years ago) link
wait, modern baseball broke up?
rip, they were OK
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Wednesday, 14 June 2017 23:19 (six years ago) link
I prefer the previous modern baseball record tbh
there's a bunch on there I haven't heard yet!
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 15 June 2017 02:12 (six years ago) link
btw the SN show was bonkers good
― Mordy, Thursday, 15 June 2017 03:05 (six years ago) link
Going through that list. Keep You is so much better than The Lack Long After, I have no idea why people prefer PBTT in screamo mode.
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 15 June 2017 14:21 (six years ago) link
and i def don't think the albatross is better than dealer, or whenever, if ever (ugh so dull) is better than harmlessness
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 15 June 2017 14:56 (six years ago) link
so it's so weird during the obsessives set they kept bringing these guys up to sing the songs but they couldn't really carry a tune and they didn't really know the songs (they kept looking at their phones to sing/read the lyrics). is this something they normally do or what
― Mordy, Thursday, 15 June 2017 15:02 (six years ago) link
I didn't hate that Spin list. Maybe 1 album per band would have helped a touch, especially when it's 30. Weird to exclude Waxahatchee but not Swearin.' Feel like that first Waxahatchee record is more suitably emo.

Is there a rolling punk thread this year?
I Hate Sex have some screamo qualities so I guess they're ok here.

I was just asking off-board about the "rolling punk/non-indie underground" threads, which seem to have stopped in 2015?

Dude I can't wait to hear the whole thing.

the Tigers Jaw record is boringly pleasant yet pleasantly boring?
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 21 June 2017 19:15 (six years ago) link
also *really* enjoying the Mystery Weekend record - full of fun little twists and turns crammed into 26 mins. I knew I recognized the singer, took me a minute to realize it was the Protest the Hero guy!
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 21 June 2017 20:11 (six years ago) link
tigers jaw are generally pleasantly boring. they almost get there every time. great musicians though
new manchester orchestra record might be my aoty? best rock band in the world right now especially since brand new are like never going to release another record

yeah i like that song! kinda interested if it'll diverge from peripheral vision more than that
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 22 June 2017 20:14 (six years ago) link
I'm sort of obsessed with "Change Irreversible" and this sounds totally in that ballpark so I'm pleased
both manorch (love that shorthand) singles are really really nice
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 22 June 2017 20:20 (six years ago) link
I'm not sure where to put this song--I get a Weakerthans vibe from the lyrics (emo?), and they're on SideOne Dummy (pop/punk?)--so I'm putting it here. Point is, I'm loving it.

They opened for Beach Slang a couple of years ago. I liked their 2015 album Imaginary Life quite a bit. "Plans" is great. If this is an indication of where they're going with their sound, I'm in.
