Vinyl is cheaper and more vintage and DIYish, it just fits the style and the ethics. And nerds like me like to collect it.

[tornpictures]

Which is pretty strange, because it's more expensive to press.

[tornpictures]

Wow, I really like this "new" CoC. Thanks torn...

There is only one 'CoC' and that's Corrosion of Conformity.

[Sep]

Sorry, I meant to post the URL.

http://www.hxcmp3.com/bands/21028/

I am confused now. I was pretty sure they had broken up?

[tornpictures]

Yeah, but some dude found two new songs they played live before they broke up.

'Driving Spain Up A Wall' was 'released' over a year ago, I think.

[cbmartinez]

Thanks Torn. They're alright.

[tornpictures]

'Driving Spain Up A Wall' was recorded in a concrete art gallery and the untitled song was recorded in a house, that's why the quality isn't that good.

[cbmartinez]

Yeah, you can barely hear the vocals.

[tornpictures]

It has feeling though.

[DFelon204409]

So does masturbating with sand. Doesn't mean that's a good thing.

[BuddyBigsby]

**** you torn, I try to be nice to you and you're still a prick. You got me on the vinyl, and I use CoC for both bands, so suck it.

[tornpictures]

Whoah man, calm down.
I didn't mean anything by it.

Good to see you've finally started buying records instead of CD's.

It isn't that much trouble typing out' City of Caterpillar' is there?

[BuddyBigsby]

I buy both. And yes, it IS that much trouble. I'm very much an acronym man.

[DFelon204409]

But that's poop for transferring to mp3 and then a portable device. I'm going to dock myself about 46 scene points just because I enjoy convenience.

[tornpictures]

SoulSeek.

[Sep]

Torn, weren't you in a screamo band before? If so, would you like to send me some songs over MSN (super_flying_turbo_ninja@hotmail.com) or do you have a link where I can download some?

And what are scene points?

[Sep]

Also Torn, where in Holland do you get your emo/screamo albums? (what shops)

[tornpictures]

Torn, weren't you in a screamo band before? If so, would you like to send me some songs over MSN (super_flying_turbo_ninja@hotmail.com) or do you have a link where I can download some?

And what are scene points?

Scene points are fun for internet hardcore kids.

I'll see if I can find some mp3's.. if I can't, search for 'Reach Out' on SoulSeek. We did an s/t 7" and a split 7" with Honeywell, among others.


I get records at Independent Outlet in Amsterdam (www.outlet.nl - I hate the people that work there though, big selection of records, just mostly Fat Wreck Chords stuff and Epitaph.) Distortion records in Amsterdam (www.distortion.nl - AWESOME!).. Platenworm in Groningen, www.platenworm.nl.

And US and Euro mailorder sites.

[DFelon204409]

Scene points don't exist.

[Special Brew]

Where can I find a good amount of Screamo/emo band tabs? I searched MX and some other sites for City Of Caterpillar, Circle Takes The Square and Fear Before Before The March Of Flames and I can only find tabs for a few songs. Not enough to really study. I study techniques that find in tabs so I can figure out patterns and chords and such so I can learn taht style of music better and I want to start playing some emo, or at least encorpporating it's style into my own stuff. So anyone know where I could find a decent amount of tabs?

[Special Brew]

And this will sound friggin stupid, but, where do I find a record player to play 7"s?

[tornpictures]

Just play what sounds good, dude.

That's how most of those bands started.

Try eBay, Salvation Army, etc.

[tornpictures]

Oh, and some basic chords that are used quite a bit:

(Way to post four times in a row!!)

If you want to play emo, go 'study' some Indian Summer. Not hard to play. Not hard to imitate.

Now, what you're trying here is great and stuff, but it's not really helping music evolve, is it?

This is why there are 43278947892 bands right now that all sound the same. Try something new.

[DFelon204409]

He should try lots of open chords too. Octaves, open chords, and tritones.

[tornpictures]

Yeaaaaahhhh!

[EvIL_ToASTER_OVEN]

:eek: I just listened to Hot Cross for the first time ever. I'm impressed.

[cbmartinez]

Hot Cross is incredible.

[EvIL_ToASTER_OVEN]

Hot Cross is incredible.
I've only just came across them now. Is that the Saetia vocalist I hear?

[cbmartinez]

Yup, pretty sure. I found out there from around my area also. They played here recently actually.

[EvIL_ToASTER_OVEN]

Yup, pretty sure. I found out there from around my area also. They played here recently actually.
I must look into buying something of theirs.

[Happymeal]

I heard their EP's are better than the LP. But then I've only listened to A New Set of Lungs and a couple of other songs.

[EvIL_ToASTER_OVEN]

I'm totally digging them. I love how the guitars harmonize so well.

[BuddyBigsby]

Singer and drummer are from Saetia. Then the other members have done time in Neil Perry, The Now, You and I, and a couple others.

[Frederoni]

I like them but they're not screamo or emo.
Actually, Underoath is Screamo, if not, what are they? I also like Moneen and Alexisonfire. I like Atreyu, but they are Metalcore with Emo lyrics.

[BuddyBigsby]

They're not screamo. I personally don't feel the need to argue this with someone with an Atreyu avatar, so I'm not going to. If you want reasoning, you can read pretty much any page in this thread, as we've argued this dead.

[Frederoni]

What's so bad about Atreyu?

[chips88]

What's so bad about Atreyu?

Nothing, it's just you should read some of the other pages of this thread, we've gone over this a million times

[Frederoni]

Aha, I never said Atreyu was emo, they are metalcore at it's best, I said that Underoath is screamo, that's all.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

If you really wanna get technical, Atreyu could barely even pass as metalcore.

[Special Brew]

You said they had emo lyrics, and they don't emo lyrics are very confusing nut very personal.

[BuddyBigsby]

they are metalcore at it's best

Whoa, dude. You really, really need to listen to more metalcore.

[Special Brew]

Also, what do you mean by open chords? Is that normal chords?

[srt-4]

I heard their EP's are better than the LP. But then I've only listened to A New Set of Lungs and a couple of other songs.

i listen to cryonics, fair trades and farewells, and a new set of lungs all the time. and its all just personal preference, but to me i think cryonics is just as amazing as their other stuff.

and like buddybigsby already answered, the singer is from saetia. i'm sure he is so sick of talking about saetia though. its too bad, because when i got to meet him, i would have really liked to ask a little about saetia, but thought that he probably didn't want to talk about it.

[BuddyBigsby]

When I saw Hot Cross a few months ago, I asked their merch guy if they had the Saetia Retrospective, because I couldn't find it in the distro. He said they had sold out, but I was able to buy it from another band's distro.

When it was Hot Cross' time to play, the dude I thought was the merch guy gets on stage and starts singing.

:) Thats awesome, lol

Where do you guys live? I know there is nothing even remotely similar to emo around here, I live in a redneck-ruled area that has no music scene. Heh. But I am willing to travel a good distance to see bands I like.

[BuddyBigsby]

Orange County area in Southern California. The emo scene here is really really small, from what I've garnered in my experiences at least.

[Sep]

:eek: I just listened to Hot Cross for the first time ever. I'm impressed.

Hot Cross are pretty good. Especially 'Throw Collars To The Wind'. But the whole new EP is pretty darn good.

I always thought they had the guitarists from Saetia. I never realized it was just the drummer and the singer. :confused:

I only really dig A New Set of Lungs and the split 7"s.

Billy's kind of tired of being 'that dude from Saetia', yeah.. but ask him whatever you like. He'll answer.
We used to joke about Saetia reunion shows all the time and the kids were like "WHAT? WHERE? WHEN?!?!"
It was great.

It's also funny that they've become one of those post-humous hype bands. There were only like 40 kids at their last show.

I saw Hot Cross a couple times when I was in the USA last and it was SO ****ing weird to see Billy all tatoo'ed up and ****. Super nice guy, seriously. One of the most genuine and sincere people in hardcore.

Bakersfield have a couple great bands.

[_Alexisonfire_]

Just not to be confused, the term "emo" is orginially a short form for emotional hardcore, or just emotional? Because It's hard work to learn to people that Taking Back Sunday ( among other bands, but I think TBS is the band most people think is real emo around here ) is NOT a pure emo band in any way. I always thought emo meant emotional hardcore but then fourfa.com confused me because it has two separate types of music: emo, and emocore. Could anyone clear that up for me?

Could someone describe to me explicitely what "hardcore" is. ( I'm a noob looking for re-education :upset: ) So I can educate myself. There's this wannabe emo guy who thinks The Hurt Process , Saosin and Funeral For a Friend are emo and I can't wait to hit him with some fresh reality.

Hardcore is fast and abrasive punk that's played at a breakneck pace and the lyrics are screamed. Emo is plain old emo. Emocore and Post-Emo Indie Rock are BS categories because emocore means "emotional hardcore hardcore" when you break down the word and Post-Emo Indie Rock is just indie. You don't need the pre-emo part.

[tornpictures]

LIke I asked earlier, what band were you in?


Reach Out.

You might have heard of us??

[BuddyBigsby]

Try travelling around a little.

Bakersfield have a couple great bands.

Figures. Bakersfield doesn't have much else going for them. Does San Diego still have a scene at all do you know?

[tornpictures]

I haven't been down there in quite a while.

The Pine are a great Bakersfield band.. www.geocities.com/thepinepage

Funeral Diner are from down there somewhere, I think. (or are they more SF, Bay Area?).

Anyway, Gravity Records, maybe some GSL stuff?

[BuddyBigsby]

I think FD are bay area.

[BuddyBigsby]

torn, was the split with Honeywell one song for each band? Because I found something of yours off that split, but its just titled "Reach Out (Split 7" with Honeywell)" and it's one song, but its 5 minutes so just having that one song would make sense. And does it have a title? Either way, it's really ****ing good.

[DFelon204409]

I saw Funeral Diner play with Coffin and others at this wacky art gallery on Mission Street. It was pretty cool. I have a friendly aquaintance in Coffin so I was mainly there for them. I just got sick of standing next to this dude with terrible BO and had to go to the Macdonald's downstairs, which smelled of delicious french fries.

[DFelon204409]

Ok regarding what the modern emo/punk stuff, where would I post about them? Since they are not really emo I feel stupid talking about Silverstein here, the punk forum would just tell me to go to the emo forum, and the indie forum would do the same. We should come up with a simpler label for the new stuff out and have a forum just for it somewhere, that way no people will come spam this forum with punk bands, lol

There is no emo forum. If you go to the pop punk forum I guarantee you can talk about Silverstein there.

[DFelon204409]

Figures. Bakersfield doesn't have much else going for them. Does San Diego still have a scene at all do you know?

I've seen bands from San Diego up in San Francisco, once again playing with Coffin, and this ridiculous band called Salo.

[cbmartinez]

I don't like new Hot Cross EP. I like Cryonics a whole bunch though.

[Special Brew]

Is ATDI emo? They seem a little different, but I think they can still be classified as emo. Not sure though.

[tornpictures]

Two songs!!

Gadfly and Message To. (I didn't make up the titles.)

Thanks alot dude man!!

Yeah, Funeral Diner are ****ing AWESOME live.
They don't really have to thrash around to make their live act awesome.

We thrashed around too much.

[Wow]

I downloaded three songs by a band called Reach Out. If it's your band then goddamn you guys kicked total ***.

[tornpictures]

Haha, thanks man.

[cbmartinez]

Wow, give 'em to me online.

[Wow]

Get online you bastard.

[chips88]

Torn, what instrument did you play?

In fact, I would like a biography of your band, even if basic, but it would be cool to here about how you started, who you played with, releases, etc.

[cbmartinez]

Oh, you just demand biographies now?

So I should be seeing Envy, Off Minor, Welcome To The Plague Year and Malady right now.

[chips88]

Oh, you just demand biographies now?

So I should be seeing Envy, Off Minor, Welcome To The Plague Year and Malady right now.

Indeed I do. Actually, it was more like a request, sorry if it seemed like a demand.

And you have my sympathy.

[DFelon204409]

Why aren't you seeing them?

[YDload]

One of the first threads I ever made on MX was where I insinuated that emo sucked because I didn't like Dashboard Confessional. I'm just lucky DFelon didn't reach through the screen and strangle me.

Now I have a better understanding of the genre thanks to threads like these, and I appreciate it a lot more than Dashboard, who is more of a James-Taylor-for-the-new-millennium-type of band.

Anyway: I'm sure At The Drive-In has been discussed, but I could only get through the first ten pages of the thread before giving up and just re-asking the question now. What are they?

[DFelon204409]

At the Drive-In has a bunch of punk, post-punk, and wackly indie stuff going on all at the same time.

I remember that thread. It was in the pit. I did want to strangle you but I got really ambitious and tried to strangle the whole pit at once. Did not work.

[BuddyBigsby]

haha, you and stagefrightken would get along.

Anyways, is The Fall Of Troy considered as emo? They are like ATDI but a little different, I think are just indie prog stuff, but some parts sounds very emo-ish to me.

I'd just call them progressive indie or something. Then again they do kind of sound like Hot Cross...

[cbmartinez]

The Fall Of Troy aren't emo.

Why aren't you seeing them?

It was in Philly. My parents wouldn't let me go. I cried, punched, moped, etc. but nope.

[SalomeHigher]

Coheed and Cambria < every other band, with the exception of good charlotte.

[cbmartinez]

What the ****?

A) We weren't even talking about Coheed
B) They are not emo

Your entitled to your opinion but how about posting it in a Coheed thread, not making an irrelevant post in a thread that doesn't have anything to do with Coheed.

[YDload]

Let's play a game:

He changed his name because SFK could be interpreted as standing for "Sensitive Fat Kid."

[Special Brew]

Coheed and Cambria < every other band, with the exception of good charlotte.


Wtf? That was random...

Plus there are many worse bands than Co&Ca. Simple Plan for instance. The only bad thing I see with Coheed is the vocals, if they screamed you would love them. They are pretty good musically. But they aren't emo so why am I ranting about them... They are progressive rock/punk.

Ok thanks for clearing up that bit about The Fall Of Troy.

Btw, Hot Cross is amazing, haha.

Gah I have been searching many band sites and venue sites and no screamo/emo bands play anyehere near here! The closest notable town I guess is Knoxville. After that probably Columbus or Cincinnati in Ohio. All three towns have no bands playing and are at least an hours drive. This sucks.

[hey, you're not cory!]

Coheed and Cambria < every other band, with the exception of good charlotte.
i hate you

[Wow]

I live in Columbus and it sucks. Hardly any good bands play here.

Around here there isn't even a music scene. I know all three bands that play shows around here and they all play like 70s-80s style rock stuff.

[YDload]

I live in Columbus and it sucks. Hardly any good bands play here.

Probably because the last band to play in Columbus got SHOT. ****!

Stop complaining everyone.

We don't even have bars around here, and only 1 resturant that hosts bands. Occasionally a fair or something will search for bands to play and my guitar teachers band plays at all of those.

There's no such thing. Dashboard Confessional is not emo, but more like the James Taylor of the 00's.

We all know that's what you were implying. If emo is an offshoot of hardcore, then how likely is it that there would be any acoustic emo bands? Or good ones, for that matter?

[DFelon204409]

Hey does anybody have any Under a Dying Sun I can listen to? I was reading about them last night and I remember ignoring them when you guys were talking about them earlier. They sound pretty interesting and are from Half Moon Bay, which is right where I live.

[BridgeToSolace]

I've got the album "Supernova" by Under A Dying Sun.

My AIM is "IbleedtheskyI", and my Soulseek is Bleed The Sky.

The Deadwood Divine.
Pretty hard to track stuff down by, but it was Tom Lomacchio's 'project' after Plunger. He was going through some pretty rough **** back then.

Cbmartinez, if you want to buy Books Lie 'The Hall of Fame of Fire' Lp off me.. hit me up. I HATED it. Only played half a time.

Thats kickass.

You have to give us the info andmaybe links to a site that will sell it ;)

[Death_cab_for_benfolds]

What genre are underoath?and can anyone recommend me any bands which are in the same genre

[cbmartinez]

Underoath is like a pop-punk/"metalcore." Bands in the same genre would be like RosesAreRed, Glory Of This, From Autumn To Ashes, and Funeral For A Friend.

[BridgeToSolace]

RosesAreRed

And you make fun of me when I mention Glory Of This.

Roses Are Red are far worse.

[cbmartinez]

Did I say I like RosesAreRed? He asked for bands that sound like Underoath. Underoath= pop-punk with the occasional scream and heavy part. RosesAreRed= pop-punk with the occasional scream and heavy part. Come to think of it, he would probably like Glory Of This also.

[DFelon204409]

Hey, I might be co-putting out a record soon!!
If it works out it's going to be awesome.

Split 5", bands are still secret.

I was at Ameoba Records in Berkeley today and I decided to look through the vinyl section to see if I could find some Reach Out but alas, they don't have it. They had a bunch of interesting **** though. And then they had 15 copies of some DMX record.

Nope, sorry.

[thriftstoresweater]

oh ok, what about taking back sunday, I thought they where emo but some people sya there pop-punk. What is alexisonfire than?

[EvIL_ToASTER_OVEN]

oh ok, what about taking back sunday, I thought they where emo but some people sya there pop-punk. What is alexisonfire than?
They sound pop punk to me. Maybe post-hardcore? Iunno, still a good band.

[thriftstoresweater]

Thanks, they are my two favourite bands right now (i usually find a new band every week). Is "Exploisions In The Sky" a emo or screamo band?( cant spell)

[BridgeToSolace]

Explosions In The Sky - Post-Rock
Taking Back Sunday - Pop-punk
Alexisonfire - Post-hardcore or emocore. No one will lynch you depending on which one of those you say. (I think/hope)

[Special Brew]

Underoath. Underoath= pop-punk with the occasional scream and heavy part.

Have you heard much Underoath? It's more than an occasional scream, most of the vocals are screams. But they have alot of the clean "emo" style vocals that bands use these days too.

I like Underoath and I guess they would be emocore... they aren't emo and they are a little heavier than the modern "fake emo" bands. They have a couple of songs that sound a little metalcore though. I don't know about those other two bands though. Alexisonfire would go in the same genre I believe.

[Sep]

What is post-hardcore anyway?

[DFelon204409]

It's a further schism from hardcore. While emo was an attempt to not only draw more complex songs into the mix but mostly to introduce more introspective and poetic lyricism into the music, post-hardcore was an attempt to retain the characterists of hardcore that made it so catchy like the breakdown and the sing along unity feel but extend that with crazy musicianship. That's why Trophy Scars will tread the line you know? They'll have some songs without breakdowns and that good ol' screamo chaos but then other songs will be about complex song structure but have a sick breakdown. The lines are indeed blurry but when properly analyzed there is a method to the madness.

[tornpictures]

I was at Ameoba Records in Berkeley today and I decided to look through the vinyl section to see if I could find some Reach Out but alas, they don't have it. They had a bunch of interesting **** though. And then they had 15 copies of some DMX record.

Reach Out stuff is pretty hard to find nowadays. I don't like seeing people drop $15+ on our records.

Anyway, you live in Berkeley? That's awesome. Go see The Pine.

And does that old dude still work at Amoeba? I guess I haven't been there for 7+ years or something.

7" on Witching Hour.
Couple records on Alone.

And more.

I live in San Mateo, on the peninsula, but I go to school in Massachusetts. I was visiting my friend at UCB. We drank with her TA and played beirut. It was so emo.

There were like 2 old guys but there are always the two old guys at both Ameobas. Never been to the one in LA but I'm sure it sucks. By compaison at least.

About the Fugazi thing. Yes, they are indeed post-hardcore.

[Happymeal]

Weird, their song "Electricity" on epitonic sounded more along the lines of The Icarus Line and a bit of Mclusky..

[hey, you're not cory!]

ok, i don't come to this thread much. and i know what REAL emo and screamo are cause i listen to a little bit of it. and i'm not asking if this band is emo or screamo but i am asking what you would classify them as. anyway...what is At the Drive-In?

[cbmartinez]

At The Drive In are a mixture of indie and hardcore. Perhaps some post-hardcore also.

I just call them indie. They also have some very punk-ish songs.

Should be arriving in the mail within two weeks or so.

Do you mean A Retrospective? Or is it a different release?

What is Moss Icon's album (or one of their releases, I don't know how much they ever released) called? I've seen just 'Lyburnum', and 'Lyburnum Wits End Liberation Fly'.

[Wow]

Pretty sure he means A Retrospective.

So why didn't you order a couple 7"s?

CDs are so un-emo.

[tornpictures]

What is Moss Icon's album (or one of their releases, I don't know how much they ever released) called? I've seen just 'Lyburnum', and 'Lyburnum Wits End Liberation Fly'.

The LP was Lyburnum, then they have a 12" called 'It Disappears,' a couple 7"s ('What They Lack,' 'Mahpia Luhta,' 'Memorial.' and probably a couple more) and various comp tracks (Fear of Smell compilation, among others).
Oh, and a split LP with Silver Bearings.

[Sep]

So why didn't you order a couple 7"s?

CDs are so un-emo.

I don't know how to order vynils off Amazon. And I don't have a record player here in Oman. I am thinking about buying a few vynils next time I go to Holland though as I don't have a CD player there. I'll probably be able to get my parents' record player in my room.

[Sep]

where do u order cds from?

I order them off Amazon, as Interpunk won't ship to Oman.
Amazon are cheap and reliable.

Interpunk however also sells band T-shirts and other merchandise and has a larger selection of CDs (although Amazon has a lot too.)

When pre-ordering from Interpunk you usually also get a free T-shirt/poster/sticker etc.

[love2drum]

This has probably answered, but after getting to page ten i didnt feel like looking anymore...

So anyway, the band Funeral For A Friend, are they screamo or just emo? I saw someone put them under the emo list and not on the screamo list. So I was just wondering... I mean they do scream... alot, escpecially on the "Seven Ways To Scream Your Name" cd. So, sorry for being so n00bish, but i was just wondering...

[BuddyBigsby]

Neither. Popcore, as DFelon says.

[love2drum]

popcore? I dont even no what that is :upset: But anyway i was looking around and i found a site with some FFAF audio on it and in the band description it said they were Rock, Hard Rock, Modern Rock, Emo,and British Punk....wtf?

[BuddyBigsby]

The closest 'real' genre they would fit in is pop-punk. With screaming and stuff.

[Gotkookie]

Awesome, I just found a couple awesome records in a box in my closet.

Probably forgot to unpack them. I love things like this.
I love when that happens, good satisfaction. Its like getting brand new stuff for free.

[Gotkookie]

Im really liking the red scare and textbook traitors. :) Listening to TT now.

[tornpictures]

The Red Scare are the best!

Really sloppy live, but really nice people. They've really got that groove in their music.

popcore? I dont even no what that is :upset: But anyway i was looking around and i found a site with some FFAF audio on it and in the band description it said they were Rock, Hard Rock, Modern Rock, Emo,and British Punk....wtf?

Any site with FfaF audio on it is bound to be flawed in more than one way. I made up popcore because the new trends in the bridge between underground music and straight pop are indie like Modest Mouse and pop punk with slight screaming and maybe a lame breakdown like Funeral for a Friend. Popcore is a perfect word for it. I just wish it would catch on.

[tornpictures]

Modest Mouse are awesome.

I own every LP.

[DFelon204409]

I never really could listen a whole CD staight. For some reason though I can listen to the song "Dramamine" on repeat. So good.

[BridgeToSolace]

Well thats funny because I found them all in the screamo section on purevolume...

Purevolume is horrible with genres.

Hell, I've seen a band that said "Hip Hop/Emo". Really, don't trust them when they say emo or screamo.

There's that whole thing about people not knowing what the hell they're talking about when it comes to emo and screamo.

http://www.purevolume.com/circletakesthesquare - That says screamo too. Does it sound much like the bands on your list? No. CTTS is screamo, though.

[DeathHawk]

Soo, umm

Could I get some recommendations?

I already like a lot of emo/screamo bands, but you can never have enough, right?

I like:

Reach Out
Angel Hair
Heroin
Clikitat Ikatow
Indian Summer
Mohinder
Merel
Black Castle
Die, Emperor Die!


*looks for torn*

[cbmartinez]

Song Of Zarathustra.

Deathhawk, look at the first post Dfelon made in this thread. It's on the first page.

[DFelon204409]

Well thats funny because I found them all in the screamo section on purevolume...

The problem is, bands are allowed to classify themselves on that site. Think about for a minute. Hawthorne Heights probably thinks they're screamo. Anybody stupid enough to make that terrible music is probably stupid enough to mess up the genre of their own band and think they're totally emo or hardcore or something I dunno.

[cbmartinez]

Is Quicksand an emo band? They have the emotional hardcore thing goind but they might just be a post-hardcore band.

[DeathHawk]

Deathhawk, look at the first post Dfelon made in this thread. It's on the first page.

I've heard all of those but for like 2.

I was wondering what torn had to say since he knows more about specific things, like San Diego or Bay Area emo. Which is kinda what i'm interested in.

[love2drum]

Well anyway, whatever genre A Dead Giveaway is, im definately liking them. I guess its more like pop something or other but i really like their sound.

*looks for torn*

Great!!

Embassy - Put out a 7" on Repercussion, Indian Summer's label, it was later repressed by some other label. Also put out an LP on Outer Universe Research. Lp is AMAZING. Also various comp tracks: Ghost Dance 2x7", Eucalyptus 2x7", Food Not Bombs 12"....

The Hated - Basically one of the pioneers, but realllly awesome. Put out so much.. most notable releases: 'Every Song' Lp, 'What Was Behind' Lp.

Inkwell - GREAT stuff, mix between Indian Summer and Heroin.. just passion passion passion passion. The 'Shine So Bright' 7" is definitely worth tracking down, one of my favourite releases ever. They also did an s/t 7", a track on the 'Placebo' 7" comp, also containing Reversal of Man and a split 7" with the Hal Al Shedad.
SUPER live.

Shotmaker - 'Nuff said. Loads of records, loads of anger, bla bla bla.

Current - Pretty good stuff, just your text-book style emo, really. 'Coliseum' Lp, s/t 7" and split with Chino Horde on Council Records. Split 7" with Indian Summer on Repercussion or something, comp tracks include Food Not Bombs 12" etc.

Also way more:

Shroomunion - have male and female vocals, bit more dissonant, innocent and stuff.

Maximillian Colby - One of THE text-book emo bands. Looong build-ups, climax. Great!!

Hoover - See Max Colby, just a little more 'rock' and speed to it, maybe.

NEWER BANDS:::

Toru Okada - Emo, great, sincere, hopeful and hopeless at the same time.

Sinaloa - Little more off-kilter, dissonant. Shorter songs, GREAT vocals.

Wolves - Arty hardcore, pretty fast, lots of diverse influences.

Vida Blue - See Sinaloa, but more off-kilter and dissonant still.


There are always more, I'll get back to ya.

I'm CutsLikeDrugs on SoulSeek if you're looking for any of this stuff.
Maximillian Colby

[DFelon204409]

I've heard all of those but for like 2.

What Bay Area emo?

[Wow]

torn if you see someone called cutpaperwings downloading hundreds of songs off of you, that's me. :thumb:

[DeathHawk]

What Bay Area emo?

The Bay area in Calfornia, by SF. There was a big scene there about a decade ago that while overshadowed by SD scene, still produced a lot of stuff.

[DeathHawk]

Also, thanks a lot torn, I'll check those out. Probably look for some at some distros at upcoming shows here.

Mad props to you.

[oathfbass]

I like them but they're not screamo or emo.
what are underoath then???

[cbmartinez]

Pop-punk/metalcore

[oathfbass]

how are they pop punk ive heard some of their old and new stuff and they dont sound poppy at all

[cbmartinez]

Their new stuff is incredibly poppy. Their old stuff was like black metal/metalcore. The new stuff is generic pop-punk with screaming.

[oathfbass]

Reinventing your exit is kinda poppy during their chorus but thier other songs aren't, maybe I need to listen to the lyrics more cafefully

[BuddyBigsby]

No, the entire album is poppy.

[tornpictures]

Also, thanks a lot torn, I'll check those out. Probably look for some at some distros at upcoming shows here.

Mad props to you.

Good luck, but you'll probably only find Vida Blue, Wolves, Sinaloa and Toru Okada there, if even that.

Thats cool that i got mass negative rep for talking about Bay Area emo, but thats ok

Reach out came from there and a lot of early emo bands, which, I dont exactly know, that is why I was asking torn.

All I do know is that there was a big scene there when Heroin blew up and 1293430 bands started playing because of them.

Wait torn you lived in Berkeley right? Can you give me a bio of my Bay Area emo heritage? I'm really excited about these things I didn't know. The only bands I know are the current Redwood City ones and Under a Dying Sun from HMB who aren't even emo. Poop. Can you file transfer me stuff on the AIM? Pleeeeease.

how are they pop punk ive heard some of their old and new stuff and they dont sound poppy at all

he is just saying they are pop-punk because that is what dfelon says. its safe to say they aren't emo or screamo by the definitions in this thread (although a lot of people you meet in real life will probably consider them screamo). they just seem like a softer, more accessable version of hardcore/metalcore these days to me, but its not that big of a deal anyway. whatever people decide the music they make is called, i will still like them.

change of subject...i finally got planes mistaken for stars newest cd, and a lot of the songs definitely have a different sound from their other cds i have. i personally liked their older stuff better, but who knows, maybe the new stuff will grow on me. anyway, do they still fit into you guys definition of emo?

I'm pretty sure they're a very emo-influenced punk/rock band. Kind of like Pg. 99.
