The Real Emo Thread

[Spencer Carnage]

So what do I gotta do to get into this thread? Take a picture of myself with my Reach Out/Honeywell split? I miss stalking this thread for good bands that I haven't heard yet.

[joss d.]

this thread is a myth

[eliselovesmusic]

EEEEEEEEEMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:vampire:

[piglet]

This thread is relevant to my interests.

technically, you'd have to start posting here like two years ago when people actually liked this kind of music here.

it was reallyweird how fast it came and went for most of the kids...

but I guess that's how it goes

[x togepi x]

haha i just deleted that album or whatever the other day

but I guess that's how it goes

bob look around at how shitty these forums are now. do you think any of the people from the old days post here anymore? besides a handful, they don't.

[mht]

we really do need our own thread. I know we kind of talk in the hardcore thread now like the emo, but none of us listen to hardcore daily or as much as we did stuff discussed in the emo thread.

[x togepi x]

you could always bump the richmond sludge thread.

[Spencer Carnage]

okay, now start dropping some band names that my salty old ass hasn't heard of yet. i'm jonesing for something that allows me to use my nose to look down disapprovingly at others.

[x togepi x]

life at these speeds was pretty good until they broke up.

[mht]

Are you really 30?

[fakejazz]

The new What Price, Wonderland? is really good, i would post a link to download it but im not sure what are the rules about that in here also ive been jamming some You and I lately pretty solid band

anyone heard Kolya? they were a 90s emo band and they were super good

http://www.myspace.com/kolyaband

[mht]

found a blank cd the other day and had know clue what was on it because i dont label things and so i threw it in on the way to work and it was a mix of comadre, petethepiratesquid, lion of the north and a bunch of other songs i have no idea who now.

[fakejazz]

comadre fuck yeah!
they re awesome for coming with thebest sing along in a hardcore song
WE'll TAKE THE SCENE AND BURN IT DOWN. REBUILD THE LOVE TAKE BACK THE SOUND!!!!

[Spencer Carnage]

Are you really 30?

Yes, but let's not hold that against me yet.

[Spencer Carnage]

Didn't they do a techno version of that song? That was quite fun. I think I got their first CD around here somewhere. Been awhile since I've listened to that.

[mht]

the techno version was of there is no title only zuul!

[MrOctober430]

[LendMeYourBrain]

i just rediscovered how The Incredible Sinking Feeling is one of my favorite albums ever

[TheBaroness]

oh man, this takes me back.

Emo is dead

[mht]

[joss d.]

thats not really emo, thats 90s indie rock thats pretty much how emo got fucked up man, people calling this bands emo was what it lead to all the confusion that we live today :B

[x togepi x]

true, but the idiot who said emo is dead is probably referring to the kind of music SDRE was.

[Siren Silently]

I can't even listen to 90% of this stuff without cringing a little. Growing up is a funny thing.

[murrich]

I can't even listen to 90% of this stuff without cringing a little. Growing up is a funny thing.

Just out of curiosity, what sort of music do you listen to now?

[SickOfStars]

Way to make me feel like a 22 year old fetus... :-(

[fakejazz]

textbook traitors, good band.

[mht]

Forensics even better band

[LendMeYourBrain]

is music like this even still going on much? the last "new" band I remember listening to was Lion of the North

[Spencer Carnage]

I just listened to diary, that takes me back...

Yes to that shit. have you heard his new solo album? Not so much into that one.

[x togepi x]

lion of the north was terrible

[Siren Silently]

Glad to see you still around :wave:.

My taste have gone completely boring. I heard Slanted and Enchanted for the first time and now I listen to that and its modern day equivalents mostly. Emo is mostly history for me, I deleted everything from Amanda Woodward to You and I (I wanted to say A-Z, but I couldn't think of a band that started with a Z). The only that still sees a lot of play for me is Cap'n Jazz and its offshoots.

[Spencer Carnage]

You should definitely check Keep 'Em Guessing by Hockey Night. Also, go to daytrotter.com and download "Who We Are" from them. Good, good stuff.

[Corgkowznor]

Nah I haven't heard it...not that good?

[LendMeYourBrain]

did all the music die when we stopped listening to it?

[x togepi x]

there are still a lot of bands that play this music. they just all suck like most of the old bands did.

[fakejazz]

the brass had a new album and its good
comadre released a new one and its bad
what price, wonderland also had a new record and its so sweet.

[Spencer Carnage]

Nah I haven't heard it...not that good?

No sir. Then again, when you have Diary, nothing else he does is ever going to compete with that.

[Siren Silently]

Oh you drama queen, you.

Bob: Is Alessa still going?

[SickOfStars]

Oh you drama queen, you.

Bob: Is Alessa still going?

Yeah, we actually just became fully operational again.

Two dudes left, so we were left with an incomplete lineup for a while.

We tried out some people, but then before you know it it was time for me to go back to cahhledge.

Now we've got the spots filled, about 3 or so new jams finished, and our first show this Thursday.

I'm really glad that things are back together. Literally 2 shows after we got the 7"s and shirts in, we were out of commission (we played our record release show as an incomplete band and I played guitar. it was a shit show). We're sounding pretty good... for us. Can't wait :-D

Also, there's a new band that I'm in with the two dudes that quit called Pathos: http://www.myspace.com/pathosnh1

Most of the recordings are temporarily instrumental (these ones are good), except for a really old song, with the guitarist (old drummer of alessa) trying to do vocals... that one's pretty bad.

What, I thought the new comadre was pretty good. Then again I am new to skramz, so it isn't like I know much about the genre.

Dude, it's so awesome!

I'm really happy that he's continued with the whole "occasional black metal instrumentation" thing. Phil's my boy!

So, to shift topics, whatever happened to those bands you were/are in??? I would still like to hear things, unless something has gone horribly wrong interpersonally... and believe me, I know that that can happen.

anyone a fan of "To Dream of Autumn

The twinkly, second-wave midwestmo stuff is my favorite. I've never been able to get into the more abrasive stuff. I know, I'm a pansy.

i listened to them awhile ago. I only remember the song "too bad spiderman doesn't exist because there actually is a green goblin"

I just played a show with Pianos Become The Teeth. Had to leave halfway through their set, and I still wanna cry about it. They were devastatingly great.

I'm listening to Rites of Springs for the first time. This is great.

new pianos become the teeth is gonna be good, i liked all the new clips better than their old stuff.

[JimGray]

Feeling's mutual hombres. I'm really hoping to play another show with them, but our guitarist is kind of a flake and we don't have a bassist. We will most likely be breaking up again. Fuck it, I'm moving to Florida anyway.

It is epic. Promise.

ebaying shit soonish. anyone need some makara vinyl?

[x togepi x]

i don't know how i feel about pianos become teeth. like, i've heard their stuff but none of that post-rock shit really matters to me anymore. i bet if i saw them live it'd be different, but i've just heard/played with so many shitty city of caterpillar derivatives (okay bob laugh at the irony there) to care.

Could never get into City Of Caterpillar that much but I definitely like this Pianos Become Teeth. COC's vocals just didn't do it for me.

Oh, I absolutely love them haha. Talked to them, they seem really legit.

[x togepi x]

i just played a predominantly screamo fest last year where half the bands ripped off orchid and half the bands ripped off city of caterpillar and most of them sucked, and everyone was snobby about the fact that we weren't edge, and after watching a lot of them just play the songs they played because it seemed like the cool thing to do, i just got burned out. there needs to be more progression in this genre.

but i'm not in a screamo band so i don't know what i'm talking about.

I totally agree with you there. I always remember getting looked down upon for having a beer or a smoke. The DIY scene is completely full of themselves. The loudest ones turn into the biggest hypocrites. The best is watching a "DIY" band that parties freak the scene kids out by the fact that their "idols" get high.

well i mean i was just really referring to the fact that those kids were walking around as if they were being revolutionary by rehashing sounds from a decade ago when they really just created an alternative marketplace and that's all.

of course, we also met a ton of sweet bands like native and loose lips sink ships so it wasn't a total wasted trip.

I agree about the full of themselves thing. A good deal of people in the screamo scene realize that they're just playing screamo, and their shit stinks just as awful as everyone else's.

I don't really get why everything has to be about putting your nose up and flaunting your elevated ideas. If you don't want to support commercialism with your music, just fucking do it, don't brag about it. if you want to be straight edge, vegan, or anything else, just fucking do it, don't brag about it.

It gets so irritating

the emo song is hilarious

[Spencer Carnage]

The worst thing about the DIY scene is that its so insular. Everyone is so over-protective. At the same time, can't blame them. There is a lot of "friendlies" that are creeping around, pretending to be about something they know nothing about.

[Spencer Carnage]

Ampere is a good band. One of the few bands bands that actually have a punk ethic
