great Rosenstock set at Pitchfork, featuring a few amusing surprises I will not spoil and all of the Worry medley except for "Blast Damage Days"

i've been enjoying the new s/t album from The Life and Times:
https://thelifeandtimes.bandcamp.com/album/the-life-and-times
that's Allen Epley from Shiner plus a couple other dudes. shimmering guitar-rock that's shoegazey at times. think it sorta fits in this thread.

emo/pop-punk/dogs on skateboards/etc albums I have been enjoying this year to varying degrees, using a loose genre definition as always:
Sorority noiseMystery WeekendHaterCreeperKatie EllenRatboysSmidleyCharly BlissRozwell KidCayetanaTurtleneckedSingle Mothers

i haven't been keeping up as much
are you shitting me that julie doiron is in a punk band
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 27 July 2017 21:13 (six years ago) link
yeah I have never cared about Cancer Bats but I am excited for this development
can Kathleen Edwards come back and front NOFX?
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 27 July 2017 21:17 (six years ago) link
thanks simon, have only heard one of those (sorority noise).
― Spottie, Thursday, 27 July 2017 23:46 (six years ago) link
oh shit I forgot Smith St Band but I assume y'all have already heard that
that said, so far none of these are EOY list contenders save for Sorority Noise and maybe Katie Ellen

― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 28 July 2017 01:21 (six years ago) link
I almost think we should have a dedicated thread for them cause I'm about to dig into their three EPs, two of which apparently extend the "story" (lol) of this album

spottie check out the creeper record! i think you'll find stuff to like about it
the manchester orchestra record is officially my album of the year until further notice bc i started crying within twenty seconds of the first song

^^^ welcome to the rolling emo thread
i made an album thread for cope a few years ago that got no traction whatsoever but i feel like doing it again for a black mile to the surface
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Friday, 28 July 2017 13:34 (six years ago) link
yeah Spottie the Creeper album rules. as it turns out the EPs are also great and kinda make up a sweet album of their own
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 28 July 2017 13:49 (six years ago) link
that manch orch album opener is really great. listened to the whole thing a couple times today. really nice album, seems a little more reserved than past work? Guess i didnt really dive into Cope much but Mean Everything to Nothing def had a little more bombast
― Spottie, Friday, 28 July 2017 19:25 (six years ago) link
The Maze will be a show stopper live ,for sure. When those background singers come in...
― Spottie, Friday, 28 July 2017 19:27 (six years ago) link
having discovered Emmylou Harris Wrecking Ball and this within a couple days of each other all i can do is fight internally about which album opener is better.
― Spottie, Friday, 28 July 2017 19:28 (six years ago) link
About halfway through this Creeper record and getting really heavy Sing the Sorrow era AFI vibes. Loving it.
Misery is like the most emo song ever"
Pretty, but he don't tell you about itWinter scarves and skirts of velvetStill drink just like we did in schoolI passed your old house down by the cemeteryClub nights and universityWhen your friends sing 'Born to Run', baby, resistCause we were 'Born to Drift'If you could see the wreck I am these daysYou'd have new reasons to stay awayJust hold my hand for a little whileMisery never goes out of style

i mean this record is only faintly emo (mostly it's a real chunky, oceanic rock record) but i love rainer maria and i think this is one of the best things they've ever released
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Friday, 11 August 2017 17:38 (six years ago) link
love the rainer maria record. also having seen them twice in the last couple years i think they are as good/better as they've ever been live
