rolling emo/pop-punk/embarrassing music 2018

Thank you for showing me Closer. Loving this so much

I'm liking Closer too; can't escape the irony that the chorus of the track they've set to play first is "All I want is something familiar" bc yeah this sounds familiar! In a good way!

just spending today missing the band fireworks

I'm hopeful they'll get back together at some point (unless you're about to tell me I shouldn't be)

oh i am too. oh common life deserves a follow-up

i had no idea that the dangerous summer reunited and recorded a new album? so far it's great, but their albums tend to start off great and drift into whatever

actually the album is pretty good the whole way through!

my favorite screamo song of the year is the last minute or so this all-screaming version of the Lady Bird trailer

that had me dying

should be nominated for best song at the oscars

tiny moving parts record is totally fucking awesome

easily their best

new black foxxes record is already one of my favorite albums of the year and this is one of the best songs from it. riyl: manchester orchestra

I do wish the TMP album were a touch more ambitious overall a la "Warm Hand Splash" but it is certainly v solid

based on my many listens to "Charisma" I have decided that PBtT's David Haik is the most overperforming drummer in emo (in a good way)

great track when is the album actually dropping

next friday

Enjoyed the last Runaway Brother album then kinda forgot about it quickly, but I'm looking forward to the new one. Some promising early tracks

Super into this new DON BROCO album!

what the

new Brian Fallon is out today, he's (unsurprisingly) gone even more retro and not really connected to anything even emo-adjacent at this point but it's not bad!

new Dashboard is out too for those so inclined. There's also an OK new Wonder Years single - album's out in April.

for those so inclined

don't mind if i do!

a little bit of awakebutstillinbed goes a long way but I've really been enjoying the album

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fghvjUy4K10

Nice

I just listened to their whole album and really enjoyed it.

Everything in this thread is absolutely beautiful. Have been loving the Tiny Moving Parts, Closer, Jeff Rosenstock, Runaway Brother (who I'd never heard of before, so thank you Evan R), Senses Fail...all of it!

This is a really richly produced sort of emogaze by 'Snape', who don't seem to have released much else before this. The whole thing sounds great, but try track 5 for something instantly loveable.
https://snapeau.bandcamp.com/

Emo is sometimes a hard sell for me but pretty much every Snape track has me saying things like 'whoa, this is great!' or 'this sounds like Adam & Eve-era Catherine Wheel!' so yeah

Holy shit, the closing track!!!

the Dashboard Album is not good.

lol i like it. particularly "About Us" and the single ("Heart Beat Here"). a couple other tracks already growing on me.

has a few tracks I liked yeah but overall idk.

just noticed that the PBtT album is available as a $1-or-more digital download from Bandcamp, with a special offer:

From now until February 19th, all Bandcamp sales from Pianos Become The Teeth's 'Wait For Love' digital downloads will benefit The Choice Program at UMBC. Name your price and Epitaph will match half your amount.

https://pianosbecometheteeth.bandcamp.com/album/wait-for-love

more punk than pop-punk I suppose but the new Turnstile album slaps

https://www.npr.org/2018/02/19/586158224/first-listen-turnstile-time-space

the (likely excellent) new Camp Cope album is also up at NPR.

came here to post about the Camp Cope, I'm really liking this

it kinda peters out near the end, but the first half is very strong

Both those Turnstile and Camp Cope albums are exceptional; great week for new music

Listening to awakebutstillinbed on repeat tonight.

There's an appropriately somber Manchester Orchestra/Julien Baker collab single out today, I assume it's a one-off.

and I just figured out it's a Pedro the Lion cover

this Camp Cope album is pretty much the only thing I feel like playing these days

at work and tearing up listening to I've Got You, damn

Camp Cope man, what a stunner of an album. I'm gonna need to listen 50 more times to absorb everything

i like this https://gulfer.bandcamp.com/album/dog-bless

I've wishlisted that. I like the interplay between math-y clean-tone guitars and melodic emo vocals.

Black Foxxes is out today - I've loved all the advance tracks so I'm exxpecting great things

the black foxxes record is so good. "the big wild" is such a rich and varied song

The second single off the new Wonder Years is much nicer than the first!

yeah it's pretty good! I wish the mix breathed more though (this was my complaint about the last couple as well, sigh)

I know what you mean - I think that's definitely something that holds them back... Still, excited for the album a bit more now

These emo year-end lists are great! I'll think of mine this weekend and listen to everything I missed

is the new saves the day good!!!!

i think it is yes! a catchy and fun tour diary with a 20 minute epic at the end

has Turnover been mentioned here? I'm digging it (though they are not new). The intro to this track reminds me of SY's "Brave Men Run" then later I hear GYBE! and The Promise Ring lol. This track is kinda spacey/indie but they are more properly emobarrassing on the LP 'Magnolia' which I keep coming back to

erm
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52XkwbW-wU8&list=PLxwHtUHlFZ5HGH24MCAVHtHbKRi9ERZeP

i love turnover! i never managed get into the most recent record but i liked magnolia and straight-up loved about half of peripheral vision

New Astronoid single is very cute!

That other East Midlands city has developed a really good queerpunk scene, and Kermes definitely need to be on this thread:

They absolutely slay live, seriously go see them if you get a chance.

That's great. Nothing says queerpunk like naming your song after a Maggie Nelson book, lol

great song

non-starter for me

This Culture Abuse album is some ultra-sunny pop punk:

https://cultureabuse.bandcamp.com/album/bay-dream

^^ good stuff

this year more than ever before, i think, it's clear just how many great records get forgotten or lost in the year-end shuffle

new copeland album next year

*spottie bat signal*

That Culture Abuse is weird. I don't know anything about them but it sounds like a bunch of hardcore dudes gave up hardcore to make a weezer record but forgot to change their bandname. That all sounds like a dis, but it's good dumb fun.

sounds like a bunch of hardcore dudes gave up hardcore to make a weezer record

sounds like the drug church record lol, gonna check it out

it's so not hardcore/punk in the way the the drug church record is. The "hardcore dudes" I'm imagining is mostly just something about his demeanor/delivery, def not the music. Like there's just a vibe I get that reminds me of like H20's softer moments, or like Weston or something.

two new copeland songs:

"pope"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Duo3rG1DzSw

and "night figures": https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/8488785/copeland-night-figures-song

album is called blushing and i really love the cover art. out february 14

https://www.billboard.com/files/media/copeland-blushing-2018-billboard-embed.jpg

already feels gloomier and thicker than ixora which i am absolutely here for

third American Football record is out 03/22. hayleuy williams, rachel goswell and elizabeth from Land of Talk guest. single/opener:

i don't think i can go to this and it's ruining my life

wow wish i still lived in NYC tbph so i could go to that

not emo exactly but related: laura stevenson is dropping an album tomorrow

which, thank god, i'm so happy

"just" a double a-side, as it turns out

https://laurastevenson.bandcamp.com/album/the-mystic-the-master

lol i wish spotify wouldn’t classify albums so broadly

still, psyched

well, those two laura stevenson songs are two of her very best, i’m very excited for a whole album to sound like them

lol i was trying to parse that sentence on the TBS poster, not knowing those were albums names. still kinda made sense in an engrish way

Frightening amount of all-time solid gold stuff available here PAY WHAT YOU WANT for this week:

Joyce Manor, mewithoutYou, so much goodness which you should already own...

Woah, good looking out

I'll leave it to brad to start the 2019 thread but the two new Mineral songs are great

kinda having thread-naming block but i'll start it soon
