rolling emo/pop-punk/the fireworks album is never coming out thread of 2021

y'all y'all y'all y'all

new fiddlehead album this year

and the new song ROCKS

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

the core, the heart music

out may 21: https://fiddleheadma.bandcamp.com/album/between-the-richness

oh hell yeah

i got the promo this morning and can't imagine there'll be much competition with it for emo album of the year

famous last words i know

"eternal you" is totally atdi/trail of dead-brand emo and the rest of the songs are total anthems. "down university" HAS to be the next single

more rolling punk/hardcore 2021 than emo pop punk but into this a bunch

https://thirdface.bandcamp.com/album/do-it-with-a-smile-2

funny I heard "mistakes and regrets" the other day and realized that while not really an emo band ToD did write 4 or 5 perfect emo songs xp

digging the gruff vocal style on this:

yo ... that ^ is great! nice mix of rough/ragged and pretty/poppy. thanks for sharing...

new Yr Poetry, which if you ever wondered what Johnny Foreigner people were up to these days: still being awesome

feel like there's enough emo in the dna of this for this thread

south korean lo-fi shoegaze/emo, reminds me of diary and inlet among many other things

a similar sense of ambition facing off against lo-fi recording limitations to deathconsciousness except the drums don't sound like total shit

origami angel are putting out a double album on april 30 called gami gang

oh shiiit!

new songs sound great

oh yeah they're amazing

hoping for a double nickels length tracklist

it’s 20 songs i think

aren't we getting a new joyce manor this year as well? our cup overfloweth

the aforementioned length of the origami angel record is hearsay btw, i don't actually know

yeah I'm assuming it will be the length of 2 origami angel records. very stoked

i got the promo this morning and can't imagine there'll be much competition with it for emo album of the year

ok, might as well reveal that i now have the origami angel promo, am halfway through it, and the bar has been cleared

i'm AWARE of how this SOUNDS but it's the best record i've ever heard

an upgrade in ambition and instrumentation on the level of johnny foreigner vs. everything

oh my god

impressed with this one-track (29 minute) lefty screamo album

https://tenuepunx.bandcamp.com/album/territorios

unsure if this is the right thread for such a thing but pretty much all of videos this article lists are great, imo, and a real timewarp mindfuck back to my srs punk/emo/hxc days

the really from album is so much more my speed than the young jesus, though i get the comparison

(young jesus was the album last year i felt myself forcing myself to like... maybe their next album will hit me, but the vocals ultimately ended up grating)

I get that!

the opening run of tracks on the Really From album is really striking

this is the record they made in a laboratory just for me

i ended up buying their previous record verse and it’s also fantastic

I'm sorry this is not 2021 music but I just discovered this record and feel compelled to share, this is taking early back sunday as hell with better guitars

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRj02rMdTAc

incredible

taking early back sunday as hell

lol early taking back sunday that is

brad should listen to this record

who is gonna start a thread for The Armed

it needs to happen soon, but i am very lazy

it should definitely happen

i am once again excited for the upcoming album by the maine

Brad's enthusiasm led me to check out Really From, which I should really love from the description, but I feel like it leans a little too far towards the jazz side of their sound than I'd prefer. It's not bad or anything, just doesn't strike the balance I'd prefer.

uh you may like their previous album, verse

I'll check that one out next! Not disparaging it at all, just wasn't the proportions I was expecting I guess.

citizen's life in your glass world is sounding really really good to me today - the experimentation (aka "drum machines and vocal distortion some of the time") suits them and a few of the songs are seriously earwormy

"blue sunday" has a very pleasing chord progression

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VJxMATr9rU

catching up on listening to links posted itt, that Closer band sounded really good, and I was sitting around trying to figure out who they reminded me of: Submission Hold (kinda)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yL2-GG8N-js

(thx btw for all the links everyone)

need to hear that citizen record

as well as the record k3v recommended upthread

listened to the citizen a couple more times, I think what they're up to here is basically 75% ersatz revival of mid-aughts alt radio stuff(eg bloc party, franz, and especially early killers) with 25% modern emo signifiers - vocals sound quite a bit like manchester orchestra, occasional screaming, downcast lyrics. etc. what sets the best songs apart is the sheer shamelessness - "death dance approximately" in particular is so aggressively hooky that I sort of found it repellent at first!

speaking of shameless "show me something that you like and I'll write you something better" is a pretty good fake pete wentz like

new origami angel songs :D

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ff767zoGBo

planet shit

thrice album is their best in a very long while, splits the difference between their exploratory radioheadish side and what i'm gonna characterize as their house style of "sludge emo" without spilling over into butt rock (both of the albums before this are guilty)

the new underoath song is way too good to keep in just their thread

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZIbH4TBxLk

No talk/love for the new TWIABP record, Illusory Walls, released yesterday? Figured it was perfect for this thread.

I am really enjoying its ambition, scope and almost, at times, progressive metal edge, but I can see it alienating their more traditional or emo-revival fans. Also not sure if those aforementioned qualities will hold up well upon repeated listens, but for now it is probably my fave AOTY.

I think it's amazing and surely Bradnelsoncore

they finally did it

i mean i liked harmlessness a lot but this is easily the best shit they've ever done

love the amount of atdi i hear in it

and "queen sophie for president" is objectively what i want all emo lead singles to sound like

NEVER GET BETTER AND NEVER DO ANYTHING

under any other circumstances some of these lyrics would jettison me right out of an album but they're really earning it musically

i've taken the temperature of emo after hearing this record and it's alive baby!!!!!

oh my god

this might be too metalcore for this thread, but I'm absolutely loving the new Dying Wish album.
