rolling emo/pop-punk/shimmering maj9 chords 2019

I think it’s a great video, just yeah, so elaborate! Will need a few rewatches to absorb the details.

Oh, not exactly the right thread, but I saw Swearin’ last night and they have such a lovely energy together and the whole gig felt very warm. They didn’t play Oil and Water though, which was regretful.

Swearin' fits just fine here, I think

^^^ especially since whenever irrational posts i get "irrational" stuck in my head

there's a new Partner song but it's not up to par with their best work tbh

when i saw them live last year they seemed about to make a dramatic stylistic shift that i don't know if i wanna follow them down. gonna check out the song anyway

Did you guys know about MIKE KROL?

I just found out because of this new album: https://mikekrol.bandcamp.com/album/power-chords

Listening to his first and second albums will cost you a combined 35 minutes and I highly recommend it. The most fun power pop in the world, and that's saying something.

I honestly don't know if post-hardcore belongs here or in Rolling Metal but I saw Humanities, Ultra Love, and Dark Plains on the weekend and it was a really good show. Humanities recall Fugazi but are heavier, with some good noisy moments; probably some Shotmaker in there. Dark Plains is actually comprised of former members of Shotmaker, Okara, and Metz, and get into some almost pigfuck-like territory; sometimes even some blues-rock-informed riffs and cool lead guitar bits that I sometimes wish went on longer. I was most surprised by Ultra Love, whose Arpin produced a really satisfying wash of noise and dissonance, with tuneful bits, on a Les Paul in something of a post-metal/gaze dirge context.

laura stevenson here to crush me into emotional debris

new album, the big freeze, out march 29

Yeah that's a good song that I only started and didn't finish because trying to cut down on emotional breakdowns at work.

this new free throw song kicks ass

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyXT6dgEHuM

As brad has surely already noticed, there's a new Blood Command song. It's decent.

i didn't notice! the last album did not live up to my expectations

gonna have to make a thread for the laura stevenson record i think

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dp430TAx-uA

this song is great and the whole idea is very cute and also surprise there's eva from charly bliss

Yeah they've been killing it with their videos and the song is strong too

the new Get Up Kids song is good!

https://youtu.be/n6zluCkD1mE

it really is! pryor's on a streak this year

also i love that there's going to be a song called "lou barlow" on the record

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qM-2M6HO0Qg

owel continues to be incredible

Also there's a new Free Throw song out and it's delightful.

that Pitchfork feature today must have done its work cause I'm actually digging the hell out of the Wicca Phase Springs Eternal album

though the "rap" element is overstated, really it has more in common with the earlier Coma Cinema/Elvis Depressedly stuff imo

Yeah I’m not 100% sure what emo rap is supposed to be after listening to it but agree that it’s pretty great.

It's not very rappy. It's ok. A little slight to me.

there's a new Caracara song, from an EP out at month's end. How did I miss this?

god bless Pup for playing national American teevee armed w/ a House of TARG shirt

https://youtu.be/Bv6_2J1A0rI

ha, that's awesome

new La Dispute is excellent on first listen, more concise and considered than the other stuff of theirs I've heard

gorgeous production/mixing, too

uh wow yeah this is p fucking incredible

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VIFzraL-XI

the la dispute is ASTOUNDING wow

argument-era fugazi vibes emanating from "rhodonite and grief"

spliced with, like, brother, sister-era mewithoutYou

Yeah, it's really good. I own Wildlife and it's solid, but this is clearly several leagues better.

I find the guy's vocal approach really interesting too, that mix of rhythmic recitation, singing, and several steps in between.

This Caracara song is real good.

I'm sort of in awe at how quickly/easily they came together and made Summer Megalith before they ever played a show

god bless Pup for playing national American teevee armed w/ a House of TARG shirt

Wait, are there Houses of TARG outside Ottawa?

nope, there's just the one!

I was lucky enough to catch Mitski there when she was touring behind Bury Me at Makeout Creek.

that caracara ep is v good

their drummer sure does play

THE MAINE ALBUM IS SO GOOD

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4-t0K-S7FU

WOW

ok the phrase "uncomfortably numb" now has to make a third emo appearance this year, these are the rules

lmao i thought the same thing

whole album is like a long lost mid-'00s emo crossover record. i hear echoes of early panic!, infinity and folie era fall out boy, and black parade mcr all over this thing (plus their main influence for their past two records, third eye blind)

"one sunset" my goodness

laura stevenson made another album that hurt my feelings

ok it's from three years ago but i finally bought a copy of boys night out's black dogs ep and i think it's my favorite emo release of the past decade https://boysnightout.bandcamp.com/album/black-dogs

gonna check that Maine record this week.
