Real emo/screamo thread
Before we begin: Fuzzy you will almost definitely not like any of this music, so kindly just refrain from posting in this thread.
Thought i'd post some of my fav classic/first wave emo and skramz bands, cause I know that word has a negative connotation for its more commercially successful second/third wave bands. Anyway: Essential early/proto emo: I'm going to skip Slint because they're pretty well loved here/not often recognised as an emo band (but they totally are - last 3 mins of Good Morning Captain proves it) Then we have emo's knotty, furious little cousin, screamo (or skramz as it is affectionaly known) Then later on you get more experimental/progressive stuff as emo interbred with post-rock, post-hardcore, math rock, shoegaze etc: WOO SADNESS PARTY YEAH WOO :smoke: |
I actually like a lot of Emo. I love this track. It kind of sounds like "Today" on steroids
|
I don't know anything about this genre but I like this band
Sunny Day Real Estate is obvs. pretty coll, I know it sounds weird but they remind me of Hum on some songs |
I appreciate te input fuzz but this thread is more intended for the 90s Midwest style of emo and it's more experimental/abrasive/underground offspring than the big stadium brand of emo that emerged around 2003 like the used, circa survive, saosin, my chemical romance etc.

Caught in a Flood with the Captain of the Cheerleading Squad is one of my favorite songs ever. I paid more for a copy of 10 Songs than any other record I own
have you heard of Lord Snow? awesome chaotic skramz with female vocals |
singer was also in Suffix which is another band I really love. highly recommend their split with Beau Navire if you can find it
|
also I dig some of the chicago / northwest indiana twinkly stuff
|
Sweet, I love aggro female vocals in some hxc. Been getting right IMO Punch lately
|
sixteen years ago or so i liked fugazi, sunny day real estate, and at the drive-in and i heard the term emo thrown around for all three. they weren't terrible.
|
Not terrible is a pretty apt description
|
envy is pretty cool
|
Yeah they're amazing. They have a comeback album this year, as do These Arms Are Snakes. Pretty excited for both.
|
Something from the mellow emo files
|
Love that donut run jam
|
^^ so good. some of those dudes were in merchant ships I think
|
old local band I love a lot. members went on to play in CSTVT and Victor Fix the Sun

not really what son-jon was talking about but i don't have anything to add to the discussion other than bragging to him about all da cool bands he is talking about that i've seen live and/or toured with. point of interest: what is up with that screamo -> noise -> new age -> electronic lineage? |
natural progression or scenesterism?
|
both? electronics has been in lately in my local scene. the diy noise people are switching to circuitbending from instrument-based noise

yea yea
played a bunch of shows in another band with some pg. 99 side project (can't remember the name right now) and circle takes the square. |
i used that sebadoh album to make a short film with my friend julie over the summer after 8th grade. at first i was just recording a rock with a face and had her speaking into my video camera mic over the phone. but she ended up coming over to my father's apartment for us to finish. and that's just a really fun memory i have of us together.
we finished the film, too. at one part i put the rock on the back of the couch while she wore a jacket on her head so the rock looked liked her head. and i kept cracking up because her hands kept moving to make sure it didn't fall on her. |
I only listened to it because my boyfriend at the time had brought it over, I pretty much only liked that song...and I never read the lyrics in the liner notes so I thought it was "I don't wanna be the one last flame" and in my stoned stupor I was all like yeah man, profound. so that turned out to be disappointing. But later when I did read the notes my disappointment was mitigated by the number of times Lou Barlow thanked lynard skynard

christian emo \m/ |
is this emo?
it is emotionally charged. so ya know... |

Probably the more interested you get in recording the less songwriting you're doing...I know that happened to my husband, he did a year of audio engineering so that he could buy equipment with his inheritance and record his band, but in the end his obsession with sound quality destroyed his urge to write songs. And his band broke up because of drugs and uni work, etc. And now he loves really crazy sounding noise and electronica
