:D :D :D
also:
there was this band that barely existed in ~2002ish, called Roads to Shiloh, from Ottawa. They were maybe the best post-Shotmaker band from the era? Or maybe I'm biased because the lead singer was my improv coach when I was 14? YOU BE THE JUDGE.
The only song I can find on the internet, never mind the meme someone uploaded as a an album cover, this song is probably old enough to drive a car

One of the tracks on the Rival Schools album ("Holding Sand") is mysteriously absent from Spotify.

Wait, lol, Will, did you take improv lessons from N1ck?? Those guys went to my high school, a couple years behind me.

I think Weights and Measures was the best early 00s Ottawa band in the broad post-hc/emo/math rock genre.

idk are you listening to quicksand

They were maybe the best post-Shotmaker band from the era?
some of my best pals in HS had a band for about a year that was such a beautiful rip-off of Shotmaker's sound - sadly i dont think any recordings exist
they were so solely invested in the sound that they just lazily stole the lyrics from chumbawamba's "tubthumping" for one song and ginuwine's "pony" for another

it is becoming clear that emo has more than three chord sequences

You know I've been running one too but I wouldn't mind ceding that to you - free up a little bit of my time.

This is lower than I expected - good record!
Also I have to admit, Say Anything are a real blind spot for me.
― Gavin, Leeds, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 16:03 (seven years ago) link
I gave this a vote but I think it might be the drumming that holds me back from loving them as much as I 'should'? I always feel like they should be tighter (or else more loose and free/noisy).

(who are more pop-punk than anything but every early-00s emo band was inspired by them. especially all the mall emo lol)
