rolling emo/pop-punk/embarrassing music 2018

new Wonder Years is a disappointment; the attempts to broaden their sound with keys and post-punk drums just flattens everything and the specificity is almost completely gone

that band fuckin sucks anyway

lol sorry that was a little ott

it's just over the course of their last... idk, 2-3 records they've just really proven themselves incapable of realizing any potential they might've had. i thought they were maybe going somewhere interesting on no closer to heaven but half of that record was just really poorly executed versions of their usual thing

all of their attempts to expand their sound feel really empty bc there's nothing in the songwriting to back it up

anyway i love the new sellout underoath record

apparently these guys have been around forever but have never really taken off. their new album is fantastic

attn mordy def check out this record ^^^

This is really good - this might sound weird but it sounds to me like a less dramatic / appealingly lower-stakes nu-Brand New album (and without the baggage)

not weird at all, dude's voice is def in that j*sse l*cey region

someone on a different message board pointed this out but they sound less like brand new than they do other bands that have been relentlessly compared to brand new (crime in stereo, "colored out" reminds me of driver friendly)

I feel a bit bad for dissing the Wonder Years album in the way I did since I read the p4k review (which highlighted some of the inspirations behind the record) but oh well

If anyone's had a screamo itch recently, you could do a hell of a lot worse than the Storm{O}'s Ere.

*strike the "the"

I just heard about the new Get Up Kids! Aaaaaaaaaa

Also, that Storm{0} album is excellent.

Also digging the Storm{O} album.

xxp - Wow, I woke up with '10 Minutes' in my head this morning. Nice coincidence!

who here loves mid-'90s emo a la hot water music and small brown bike? the fiddlehead record is for you https://fiddleheadma.bandcamp.com/album/springtime-and-blind

it's so good, when i heard the first song i said "this is like major key hoover"

I'm down with this

major key hoover otm. I absolutely love this.

xp Fiddlehead - music's not bad, still looking for smoother vocals with that kind of music

I appreciate that the nostalgia cycle moves so fast that I'm in my 30s and young bands sound like the all ages matinees I would have gone to see late in high school.

idk which rolling genre thread meg myers actually fits into but i think everyone here will enjoy this really excellent song

feels like meg myers has been trying to figure her lane out for years, still not sure where she fits but that's probably a good thing. fiona apple is usually the closest i can pin to her.

numb sounds good, more anthemic than anything she's done i think.

i really liked a lot of her stuff off of sorry

ha alright im on my 3rd spin and this is really good. super basic instrumental but it works idc.

i have listened to it oh let's say ten times in a row

she always has great videos sux there wasnt one with this right away

is this the right thread for this? this band seems to bridge emo thread/shambhala thread territories and i'm looking forward to this album

How did I not notice there are two new Sparta songs? (They're OK.)

New Carb On Carb album for ages is great midwest-emo-revival plus NZ convergent evolution w/Camp Cope etc. "Mitimiti" is a great closer, and the two singles "It's Been A Rough Year" & "Nicole's Express" are highlights:

the worriers are great! thanks for that

new now, now record is only tangentially related to this thread but it's lovely

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ahcV_3oE6Q

and the remember sports record is great for anyone who misses p.s. eliot

anyone here into Typhoon? new album 'offerings' has all kind of styles but ultimately settles in somewhere around the manch orchestra sound

this one kiiiinda scratches my brand new itch

i've never heard of this band but i can't wait to check them out!

think you'll like it. listened to their back catalog and their older stuff doesnt sound like this. not nearly as good.

new petal is great

:O

Oh that's weird, last time I was at my parents' house I took back The Satellite Years CD that I bought when I was young because I couldn't remember what the hell it was. It holds up quite well I think despite the post-rock and 'core elements jarring a bit at times.

Neither of those new songs do much for me but it's nice they're still around!

new Oso Oso single and b-side are great!

foxing is back
