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

I would unironically like to hear someone like Brand New cover one of the more brooding Undertow-era tunes

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
maybe as many as seven

Just a reminder that you said 'wow, this is some emo' about Say Anything.

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.
― Mordy, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 15:48 (nine years ago)

― Mordy, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 16:01 (nine years ago)
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 (nine years ago)
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)

Jersey's best Dancers and Hello Bastards both would have made my top ten.

i voted for a different tbs record but tbh this one has it all
it's not particularly recorded well and the songwriting is pretty disorganized and they would make way better records than this and yet it's so special
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Tuesday, 7 March 2017 16:47 (nine years ago)
fuck i just realized i forgot to vote for piebald :-0

Fav song on this TBS record is prob Bike Scene
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Tuesday, 7 March 2017 16:52 (nine years ago)
I love this albums. I never got into anything of their after it tbh. But this holds a special place in my heart for sure.
