rolling emo/pop-punk/dogs on skateboards 2017

anyway iirc i said upthread i wouldn't fight anyone over this so i'm not sure why i'm doing it now lol

lol I don't know why I'm arguing about records I have 0% chance of voting for and haven't listened to in full in over a decade

Haha. not really sure where else to post this but there's just enough pop-punk in here to warrant sharing. I spent like 2 hours messing w this last night:

normally i scoff at stuff like that but i couldn't resist

lol touch the sky / soul meets body >>>>>

having a great time with lose control + you only live once

looool at country grammar + sugar, we're going down

nice thats a good one. so many solid pairings.

Domestica is such a great record, to go back a couple dozen posts.

blood command fall enough into a venn diagram of like... actual pop metal, metalcore, post-hardcore, emo, etc. that i think i can post them here. their new song is wonderful https://soundcloud.com/tigerfysisiskformat/blood-command-cult-drugs

is that a radio rip or something? the compression makes it unlistenable for me

nature of soundcloud i think. try bandcamp? https://bloodcommand.bandcamp.com/track/cult-drugs or spotify https://open.spotify.com/track/01wtyqu6JITgDWi4jKdk0R

lmao i am OBSESSED with this song

It's good

ok yeah this is great

Choon

omg at the mashup machine

Not sure if it got discussed anywhere last year (still no search feature?) but I keep coming back to this Ian Sweet LP. Not many other bands that can pick me up and make my stomach churn in the same song

If It Makes You Less Sad I Will POLL Emo Albums

hey Brad, you like Camp Cope, right? Smalltown NZ band fruit juice parade's first single is kind've on that buzz: https://fruitjuiceparade.bandcamp.com/

Also, can't remember if I posted about this last year, but here's a comp of current stuff from China/Japan/Indonesia/Singapore: https://qiiisnacksrecords.bandcamp.com/album/emotion-no

apparently there will be new Antarctigo Vespucci (Jeff Rosenstock + Chris Farren) soon which makes me happy

it's like a cornucopia of active emo threads

"All proceeds to be donated to Planned Parenthood."

oh man All Dressed Up In Dreams is my favorite Merritt song from my favorite of his records and Elaiza Santos is the perfect person to cover it

Still catching up on everything but faves from this year have been Oliver Houston and Dryjacket. This track is particularly delightful:

It's also been a dream winter for emo gigs in the UK! So far I've caught The Hotelier, Tiny Moving Parts, The Wonder Years, PUP, Pinegrove, Crying... Martha this month. TMP were the happiest band I have ever seen in my life.

Am I missing a Spotify/YouTube playlist for this year's thread? If not, I'll happily throw one together.

Everybody reading this: don't forget to vote in the EMO POLL! You have until tomorrow to send in your ballot.

Dug that Acceptance track. Not familiar with them.

brad I finally was able to finish that acceptance album today. really good front to back modern pop rock album thanks for the rec.

new sorority noise album out - it's kinda like a deja entendu knock-off but the second track lyrics about fucking god and listening to the gaslight anthem and i'm enjoying it. some lyrical clunkers but this is def the best thing they've ever done imo.

lol when i wrote that i had no idea they just covered "Me vs. Maradona vs. Elvis" as a single

https://sororitynoise.bandcamp.com/track/me-vs-maradona-vs-elvis-brand-new

(i like the stuff on the album more than the cover)

it's embarrassing to admit but i'm kinda smitten w/ this sorority noise album

the line "I'm not trying to say it's easy / But I'm trying to say it's fine" has been stuck in my head for days

It's fun. Nothing to embarrassed about. The Old Grey album that came out last year was pretty good too.

p4k gave it an 8. normally i don't care how p4k reviews an album but i just read all the those old anti-emo p4k reviews of classic albums of the genre a few weeks ago.

i doubt this is the right thread for them but maybe the only place on ilm i can admit i am really digging this Creeper - Eternity, In Your Arms album which is horror punk and so somewhat related to emo/pop-punk at least to me?

I'm finally getting around to cleaning up the last few 2016 genre playlists and building out 2017. The plan was to wait to post them in a cannonball once they were all finalized but, since tangenttangent asked, here's an early shot off the forward bow for you:

ILM's 2017 Rolling Emo Thread Spotify Playlist

I'm going to try to update these quarterly and drop a note on thread to alert when I do.

the new album by the maine rules! not really emo but they were considered emo at one point? kinda third eye blind-y, which also blends into some 1975-y moments

I was just muttering "Maine Eye Blind" to myself...

I like the Rosenstock-produced Smith St Band album quite a bit

^^^^ this is good as hell

I find the dude a bit wearying over 45 mins but individually the songs are really strong, the opener in particular is such a vintage emo jam

still not sure whether Hey Violet (who i love) slots in here, since i flit back and forth on which side of the indie poptimist/Paramore dynamic they really plant their feet in

i feel like they've been posted in the rolling pop thread before but i'll allow it

the smith st band record hit #3 on the aussie charts this week, officially making them the most emo nation on the planet

Juggling the needs and schedules of three bands sounds daunting, but to hear Chris Carrabba tell it, it's a necessary part of his creativity, with each band benefiting the others. After reaching success with Dashboard Confessional in the early 2000s, he rejoined the reactivated band Further Seems Forever in 2010, and debuted the Americana and folk-influenced Twin Forks in 2013. All three bands have new albums in various stages of completion -- new Dashboard and Twin Forks albums are "pretty close to done," while a new Further Seems Forever EP is "in gestation" -- and Carrabba has been performing live with multiple bands, sometimes within days of each other.

wait, carrabba's doing another fsf release?!!!??!
