rolling emo/pop-punk/permanent anxiety 2020

I'm generally a big fan of most anything Brad recommends but this:

and the final track eventually works itself into a gish-era-sp-type jam

reallllllly sold me.

listened to that acceptance album yesterday, thx brad. i think its ok, about half good. i get a lot of killers sound from it.

about half good is where i landed as well, but that half is real good

dark age through wildfires is the highlight for me.

The Black Foxxes album isn't out yet, is it?

New Touché Amoré is really hitting the spot!

An emotional rock trio from Devon eh

Devonians have feelings too

And theories. Simulation theories

OIC

black foxxes record is out oct 30

you'd best have sold it accurately lol

lj you should listen to "badlands" and find out

Oh this vocalist!!

This is one of the most instantly arresting vocal presences in a while. The music is that good 90s stuff, as advertised

Holy shit what has this turned into

exactly

so the best two emo bands in the world have 'fox' in the name then

looking forward to "badlands" placing in the 77 and everyone getting mad at me

I will join that quest

love this youtube comment:

I’m strictly Electronic/minimal (the totally opposite) but I feel I have stumbled upon a track that the rock heads would die for😂

lol i noted that one too

finally got around to the touché amoré, this is fucking great

i really liked stage four but this feels like the big leap

Ross Robinson, emo king

I'll stand behind that. Relationship of Command, Burn Piano Island, and now Lament. He has a lot of credits under his belt that I don't care for but its undeniable that he had a major role in some of my absolute favorite albums ever made.

soupy from the wonder years confirmed the fireworks album is coming out this year. i sure hope so

soupy from the wonder years had best not be lying

brad you were not lying about the Black Foxxes album! what a huge step up for them.

Is it out? I'll happily listen to Badlands on repeat for 50m if not

Oh I have to wait 4 hours, grr

Yeah, this is great, even if Badlands towers above all

weirdly I'm only not totally sold on the epic closer? otherwise this is definitely scratching the neo-90s-altrock itch that Wolf Alice does for me

inner space rock

it is a bit Radiohead for me to completely love it but I can see why Brad likes Panic so much, haha. And that last minute is an almighty payoff

the first four tracks are my favourite stretch because I'm an instant gratification junkie lol

but that was the case with the Foxing album as well and I ended up loving all of it

the fox bands need to do an album together

I also really like the closing track but my favourite bit of it is the songy opening stretch

update: I have now listened to Black Foxxes a frankly embarrassing number of times

^^^same

Is there not a way to get a physical version of that Black Foxxes record in the US? Even when I go to their website and click on the literal pictures of the LP or CD versions in their shop, it kicks me to a link that only takes me to streaming/digital ways to get it.

it appears we have not talked about this band in this thread:

https://clearbody.bandcamp.com/album/one-more-day-2

album out Friday, good chunky rumbling, slightly dreamy punk/emo with vocals that remind me of other (older) bands but i can't quite place ... especially the use of looooooong, held out notes/syllables. i feel like there's a really close 80s/90s analog, but i'm having trouble figuring it out.

a very fun and economical pop-punk/emo album from this year I had missed: Teenage Halloween's s/t

Also no mention itt of this catchy punky poppy record that is seriously growing on me 9 months after its release:

https://hotmulligan.bandcamp.com/album/youll-be-fine

Also ... did I miss the 2021 thread?

Not sure of the protocol with the jump to the new thread, but finally got around to the Black Foxxes record. This is terrific. I haven't kept up with everything itt, but this and the new Ratboys records were huge discoveries for me this year thanks to you folks.

the protocol is to wait for brad to do it lol

Haha I just meant whether to continue talk about 2020 releases in the old thread.

i think when all is said and done i've decided the Ratboys record is the best emo thread record of 2020

soupy from the wonder years confirmed the fireworks album is coming out this year. i sure hope so
