rolling emo/pop-punk/dogs on skateboards 2017

I feel like I should mention that Disperse record again on this thread after trying to pimp it on the metal thread...it's really something and might appeal to emo fans since there's some serious sonic crossover with the 1975. I don't really know how to explain them to people. "emo-adjacent" is definitely stretching it though lol. admittedly I haven' heard much straight-up emo this year that I've been into.

New Rainer Maria single:

Not exactly what I expected, but for a comeback single it has a nice swagger and confidence. That can only bode well for the album.

the new stuff they've played live is all really good, i dig this song for sure

not quite pop-punk but of interest to fun guitariers: the glory of Partner

thx Brad I'll check out the Maine record for sure.

whoa the smidley record rules

also the new manchester orchestra record seems like it's gonna rule hard

y'all were right about the sorority noise record

lmao at the way they rip off the cars on "car

I v much liked the last album but this one is a big step up. sits nicely with all the other recent crushing albums about death

i'm seeing sorority noise this next week!!

anyone know any of these sn openers? Forth Wanderers / The Obsessives / Shannen Moser

Forth Wanderers are good!

I hadn't figured out that Smidley is the Foxing guy...I knew there was a twinge of recognition. Neat record!

yeah it kinda sounds like the wackiest possible kevin devine record. it rocks

Incidentally I saw KD live a few weeks ago - I thought it was going to be a full band show, instead it was solo. I was a bit disappointed at first but he was great. I teared up in public like a good emo kid.

Also he mentioned we can expect another Bad Books record at...some point

yesssss

OH and imo the new Chastity Belt record counts as emo and it's *great*

lol i found that record extremely dull but chastity belt are not for me

I can definitely understand that, they're (purposely) not very dynamic, but they key into an emotional register that really works for me

http://www.spin.com/featured/best-emo-revival-albums-ranked/

list made me realize that even though i start this thread every year i don't like very many emo revival bands lol

mostly i think the best album on that list by a mile (hop along) is there under false pretenses

also that driver friendly's bury a dream is better than any album on there

missing some other obv choices some of which rated highly in our poll

i would like to go on record suggesting that modern baseball record is only half good

wait, modern baseball broke up?

rip, they were OK

I prefer the previous modern baseball record tbh

there's a bunch on there I haven't heard yet!

btw the SN show was bonkers good

Going through that list. Keep You is so much better than The Lack Long After, I have no idea why people prefer PBTT in screamo mode.

and i def don't think the albatross is better than dealer, or whenever, if ever (ugh so dull) is better than harmlessness

so it's so weird during the obsessives set they kept bringing these guys up to sing the songs but they couldn't really carry a tune and they didn't really know the songs (they kept looking at their phones to sing/read the lyrics). is this something they normally do or what

I didn't hate that Spin list. Maybe 1 album per band would have helped a touch, especially when it's 30. Weird to exclude Waxahatchee but not Swearin.' Feel like that first Waxahatchee record is more suitably emo.

Is there a rolling punk thread this year?

I Hate Sex have some screamo qualities so I guess they're ok here.

I was just asking off-board about the "rolling punk/non-indie underground" threads, which seem to have stopped in 2015?

fuckit, I made one: Rolling punk/non-indie underground 2017

THERE'S AN I HATE SEX ALBUM?!??!?!?!?!

Dude I can't wait to hear the whole thing.

the Tigers Jaw record is boringly pleasant yet pleasantly boring?

also *really* enjoying the Mystery Weekend record - full of fun little twists and turns crammed into 26 mins. I knew I recognized the singer, took me a minute to realize it was the Protest the Hero guy!

tigers jaw are generally pleasantly boring. they almost get there every time. great musicians though

new manchester orchestra record might be my aoty? best rock band in the world right now especially since brand new are like never going to release another record

oh also, y'all, the captain we're sinking record is AMAZING

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lts0CsKoQ4

are either of these streaming anywhere

manorch doesn't come out for another month, captain we're sinking stream is here https://noisey.vice.com/en_us/article/captain-were-sinking-the-king-of-no-man

nice, thanks!

new Turnover in August

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6PpLn_6Sa4

yeah i like that song! kinda interested if it'll diverge from peripheral vision more than that

I'm sort of obsessed with "Change Irreversible" and this sounds totally in that ballpark so I'm pleased

both manorch (love that shorthand) singles are really really nice

I'm not sure where to put this song--I get a Weakerthans vibe from the lyrics (emo?), and they're on SideOne Dummy (pop/punk?)--so I'm putting it here. Point is, I'm loving it.

They opened for Beach Slang a couple of years ago. I liked their 2015 album Imaginary Life quite a bit. "Plans" is great. If this is an indication of where they're going with their sound, I'm in.
