rolling emo/pop-punk/bullshit 2013

Lol at dayo posting the "Check Yes Juliet" clip above, that always plays on the TV at my gym and it always bothers me that Juliet is breaking all her father's rules for a guy with such terrible hair.

American Radass is a hoot. That album has an energy and impulsiveness that a lot of these other ones don't imo.

I'll have to revisit that Owel album. I remember really, really being smitten with it for a minute, but now I don't remember much about it (which is the case with a lot of these albums).

driver friendly deserves a place on the stereogum list

what happened to the re-release of their album from last year? seems like that new EP maybe took its place

mostly what i've found lacking in the whole "emo revival" thing is both energy and quality songs. a lot of bands are just really smart references stitched together, which can be exciting in a moment but doesn't leave much to return to

no idea what hopeless is doing with driver friendly but yeah bury a dream if it can be characterized as "emo revival" (it doesn't seem as in conversation with american football as all those other bands) would definitely be my favorite of the past few years

Yeah, it's the songwriting that's really lacking. I think that's why I find a lot of the emo revival less exciting than the mini twinkle boom from a year or two back. That stuff was never more than the sum of its influences, either, but at least the influences could be kind of cool and surprising sometimes

i haven't heard any albums as good as deja entendu yet

there are few records as good as deja entendu

owel definitely seems both the most polished and the most fully formed of the bunch

this is only tangentially related to emo or pop-punk (it's more power pop) but the new jesse lacey-produced kevin devine record, bubblegum is awesome

hey how about tricot, for a japanese pop band they seem to have a lot of mathy midwestern emo signifiers

THEY DO, I LOVE THEM

i couldn't find a thread where brand new were mentioned, so i just decided to update this one, soz.

i almost started a 2015 emo/pop/punk/pizza/bullshit thread for The Sidekicks' record bc it has some qualities that qualify, imo, but more because i am just jonesing to bookmark a 2015 thread.

Sidekicks record isn't bad if you can get past the big-time Band of Horses/Shins homage.
