I grabbed the Empire! Empire! LP and immediately fell in love with it, so I also grabbed 3 other EP's of theirs and the Year of the Rabbit 7".

Empire's entire discography is great.

Yeah, I'm talking about the ones that aren't nearly as straight-forward. Like American Football, I've never even tried to play their songs because I didn't feel like doing that to my guitar.

thank you thread for introducing me to everyone everywhere,
seriously blown away, his voice reminds me of someone but i can't put my finger on it

edit: piebald. reminds me of piebald

[HanLuk]

Only one mention of Pnuema, could be considered post-rock I guess but I believe it has some real emo elements in it.

S/T Everyone Everywhere is also pretty damn good, really reminds me of early Promise Ring stuff.
