I love Rites of Spring. For Want Of is such a good song.

[Iron Bug]

Embrace and Moss Icon (Even though they we're from Maryland).

[Converge#12]

Oh they we're, we're they?

[Knuckleheadz]

Apparently a new Sacramento band called Collosus (members of KTD and Hanover Saints) covers For Want Of. I can't wait to see them.

If all you homos like old DC emo, listen to End of A Year. They sound better than most **** that was actually from the time period.

Sincerely is the album of the year for sure.

[bottlerocket]

Yeah, Niko, you showed me them a few weeks back. I liked them.

-Gav

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Search my threads, I linked some old DC bands in there with albums.

[deadohiosky9]

Moss Icon ftw.

[cobert]

Moss Icon ftw.

Indeed. Moss Icon are radddddd.

[bottlerocket]

Right now I'm constantly listening to Rites of Spring and Moss Icon.

A little Indian Summer, too.

-Gav

[Matt?]

i want more of these bands too

rites of spring, embrace bands like that.

don't suggest moss icon.

[Knuckleheadz]

END OF A YEAR

[AIRIC]

Indian Summer are probably my favorite emo band. I'm almost positive they're not DC though they're OC.

[whiteminority]

Embrace for the win.

[Times Ten]

I don't really like lighter emo stuff, but Embrace is excellent.

[cuts_like_drugs]

Listen to Hoover.

[Mannik]

Embrace > Rites Of Spring

By a long way

[RetiredAt21]

Indian Summer are probably my favorite emo band. I'm almost positive they're not DC though they're OC.

They're my second favorite, just behind I Hate Myself.

[Dextomethorphan]

Listen to Hoover.

I've got a 7" split they did with some band called Lincoln. Anyone ever heard Lincoln?

[SGlove]

Who wants to hook up a brotha with some Embrace and Hoover?

[deadohiosky9]

Hoover- Cuts Like Drugs. Good f'ucking song.

[Matt?]

someone send me some hoover?

[deadohiosky9]

I don't have any on my new computer. Try soulseek Matt.

[cuts_like_drugs]

Hoover- Cuts Like Drugs. Good f'ucking song.
Thier best some may say.

[deadohiosky9]

I certainly would.

[Luxor]

RoS and Embrace are decent

I've never been able to find anything but a few songs by Moss Icon, seems like good stuff though.

[kaseytheawesome]

Embrace sounds like a hardcore band to me

[bottlerocket]

It's emotional hardcore.

-Gav

[RetiredAt21]

It's emotional hardcore.

-Gav

Couldn't have said it better myself.

[bottlerocket]

Thanks, big guy.

-Gav

[RetiredAt21]

Hahahaha. That's really funny to me because I'm really high right now. But the walls are starting to spin!!!! AAHHHHH!!!!

[kaseytheawesome]

I'm not trying to argue or anything, but music's emotional.

I understand the difference in newer emo, but what makes embrace more emotional than say minor threat?

[RetiredAt21]

You've stumped me, Kasey.

[bottlerocket]

Eh, they call it "emotional hardcore" because it means very angsty emotion compared to hardcore. I don't necessarily agree with the name because there's passion and emotion in every music, but whatever. I think people call it "emotional" in the somewhat negative connotation, meaning one becomes upset, flustered, and overcome with grief and "bad" emotion easily.

-Gav

[RetiredAt21]

"Bad" emotion?

[bottlerocket]

Emotions that aren't necessarily pleasant, i.e., sadness compared to happiness, love compared to desolation, etc.

-Gav

[RetiredAt21]

Oh, ok, I get it now.

[Knuckleheadz]

Hahahaha. That's really funny to me because I'm really high right now. But the walls are starting to spin!!!! AAHHHHH!!!!
SHUT THE **** UP

[RetiredAt21]

Make me, Niko. Make me.

[Dextomethorphan]

How do you guys find Embrace on SLSK without getting nothing but this ****ty new band from the UK?

[Iron Bug]

Room searches.

Message me at I Was On A Mountain if you want it.

[Dextomethorphan]

I would message you, but I never could get my User List to work. Plus I'm on dialup...

[RetiredAt21]

I remember dial-up. :(
