here's an album from last year! it's 100 percent amazing and had i heard it last year it would've been my favorite emo record of the year!

https://microwavetheband.bandcamp.com/album/stovall

getting a kind of a sense memory from posting that image so if anyone linked that record last year and i failed to check it out i am SORRY i was WRONG

vocalist sounds hella like the Manchester Orchestra guy, must be an Atlanta thing

the new front bottoms album is 1) great 2) their first great record

the new the world is a beautiful place & i am no longer afraid to die record is 1) great 2) the first thing they've done that's remotely interesting

i am pretty disposed to like it with these guitar tones and male/female dual vocals

re: Microwave, am I an unfeeling monster if I kinda hate the last verse of "Something Right"

lyrically? nah i think it's a little weird myself

mostly because I know people who seem to have wallpapered over their problems with ~babies~ and shit is hella irksome, so whenever I get to that bit my enjoyment kinda screeches to a halt

it also makes me doubly appreciate all the weird, sad lyrics about kids that pepper Daniel Romano's albums but I'll take that to the ersatz country thread, if that's a thing

well i think the song is maybe intended to represent how shitty that perspective is lol

also maybe not

the more i listen to the new world is record the more i like it, which is the opposite effect of their last album, which got blurrier as i got closer to it

so hilarious that the hedge fund asshole who raised the price of that AIDS drug is a Brand New fan

Rolling Emo/Pop-Punk/Bullshit/Haircuts 2015 Thread Spotify Playlist

the hedge fund asshole also invested in collect records, geoff rickly's label. they're breaking ties rn

finally got the whole beach slang album

it did not disappoint AT ALL

second time listening to it in a row. the songs on the EPs had a big sound but imo this feels /massive/ w/o that equating to overproduced

btw the new coheed record is very good, and the new fightstar record is excellent

im going through a really intense emo phase out of nowhere

lots of braid, knapsack, jazz june

knapsack out of nowhere has become my favorite band

Been listening to droll-ly named Wuhan band Chinese Football in advance of their GZ show: http://chinesefootball.bandcamp.com/

Brad &c, was there ever a discussion buried somewhere about the American Football revival/cult-ification // twinkle? Never heard so many people talk about The World Is A Beautiful Place... etc IRL as I have here.

probably in one of the last two threads. i mean, the sudden omnipresence of "twinkle" (ugh, still) is one of the reasons i felt confident enough to start a rolling emo thread. most of the bands who belong to that genre are really mediocre though

here is the beach slang album http://bandwidth.wamu.org/first-listen-beach-slang-the-things-we-do-to-find-people-who-feel-like-us/ so good!

these are only tangentially related to emo or pop-punk but i really, really recommend two records that came out this week: shame by petal, and sprained ankle by julien baker

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d99nwE6y_ik

i've been listening to this Adventures album "Supersonic Home" and I like it. Have you heard it, Brad?

wait i thought i was up to speed on what's cool, but: what is twinkle?

bands that take american football (i.e. patient yet mathy emo songs) as a primary influence. genre name derived from "twinkle daddies," which, idk man. see: dads, early the world is a beautiful place, early you blew it, foxing

i have not heard adventures but i'm gonna check them out now

really stoked to see joy buttons and witch coast tonight

This Beach Slang record is good!

Two songs in, I was ready to describe this as a less-bratty FIDLAR, but now I'm thinking more like Fucked Up with non-scary vocalist.

the vocalist is still my fave thing about them, killer voice

looks like we're supposed to get a "U2-esque" (?!) Modern Baseball album around January to kick off next year's thread 2014-style. should be seeing them w/ Pup and Jeff Rosenstock in Dec. and will report back.

oh man i love it when emo bands try to be u2, they usually do it better

totally, it's just that I have a hard time imagining dude's vocal style on anything more expansive than what they already do

speaking of the expansive end of emo, enjoying the Foxing record reviewed on the 'Fork today

what i've heard of that record is great, need to dive into it still

honestly it sounds to me like the last Antlers record on slightly fewer downers, though I realize that's not a tempting description to most people

also reminds me a lot of the last Pianos Become the Teeth, they have the same kind of overarching pallor and I was surprised they don't share a producer

the foxing record is gorgeous and sad. "eiffel" in particular is stunning

Loving the new Beach Slang. They played here the other night and I think did like 3 jawbreaker covers (a couple just sort of improvised drunkenly) It was a ton of fun.

they were a jawbreaker cover band for fest

Worriers opened for them. That's an album people should be talking about too. Dig it lots.

I like that Beach Slang record, but I think I like James Alex's public (including a 15-minute phoner I did w/ him) attitude/persona/whatever even more. For some, it may come off as corny, but he seems genuinely humbled by the attention to me. Just seems like an awesome dude, and it helps me like the record more, tbh.

Totally comes across that way when he performs live. Glad it doesn't come across affected. Corny punks are kinda endearing IMHO

As we move to the end of the year, I'd like to drop a quick note to encourage any readers / lurkers / ilxors to post their favorite emo haircuts from this year to the thread so that I can hoover them into the ongoing spotify playlist. Last chance for any accessible stragglers that may not already be in the lexicon.

got tickets for the academy is... almost here 10 yr anniversary tour -- stoked
