hybridofsound 08-20-2004 04:37 AM

I see. Any songs? I don't really feel like making a thread.

shane italian 08-20-2004 04:50 AM

Hmm...I could give you the two I know of from my Punk-o-Rama comps.
"Up For Sale"
"Smash It Up"

Is Blindside considered screamo? I am going to see them today, but I've only heard one of their songs, so I wouldn't know.

Also: Someone sticky this! There have been too many emo threads floating around in several forums.

iliketoplaydrums10111 08-20-2004 10:35 AM

I hope this thread is mod endorsed so it doesn't turn into flames/spam

sink sink 08-20-2004 09:22 PM

...I'll just comment a bit on the list posted up there

I Hate Myself - yay!
Amanda Woodward - Good, plus it's French, so it's kinda sexy ;)
Circle Takes the Square - Crazy good
The Kite-Flying Society - They only have a few songs and then broke up, right? Too bad.
Cowboys Became Folk Heroes - They also only have a few songs, hopefully they'll be making more music soon. I hope they don't end up like the afore mentioned band.

And I would add Portraits of Past and maybe Stop It!!, but I don't think they're really considered emo/screamo.

sink sink 08-20-2004 09:29 PM

And I learned about a lot of these bands from [url]http://www.ihatemusic.org[/url] (well, I guess it's a forum now). Sadly, the site is dead now, but it might come back someday. Until then you can hang out in the Soulseek chatroom of the same name: ihatemusic.org

[/QUOTE]

i would also like to know what genre blindside is exactly. i of course know they aren't emo/scream, but i dont' know what they are. my guess would be post-hardcore? i have asked on here before, but never got a good answer.

BuddyBigsby 08-21-2004 01:44 AM

Blindside are pretty much just rock now. Used to be hardcore.

Actually, I asked some guy from Florida (where KFS reside) about them and he said they're still together, just that they've been quiet. Apparently their new stuff isn't that great though. I heard they also did a split or something with Cowboys.

Happymeal 08-21-2004 06:14 AM

Anyone here know The Fall Of Troy? They're kinda ATDI-ish but I don't know if they're emo/screamo

br3ad_man 08-21-2004 06:52 AM

Ok, can someone help me here. Some people call Brand New emo. DFelon reckons there pop-punk. How can they be emo when they sound nothing like bands such as Circle Takes The Square. How can they be pop-punk when they sound nothing like Simple Plan, Good Charlotte or Green Day?

Kif said they were "Alternative Emo" once, that seems like a reasonable classification to me.

GloryFaded 08-21-2004 09:41 AM

Why can't people just call Brand New emo! Cause that's what they are! Just because they don't sound like circle takes the square doesn't mean their not emo. Most people who have listened to any Brand New Album all the way though would agree there emo.You can call them 'alternative emo' if you want but the key word in that sentance is emo, hence thats what they are.

Brad, read this.

No, they are not emo. Bottom line. Do you even know where emo came from? Can you trace the path of the genre to bands like Brand New? No, you can not. Emo started out as Emotional Hardcore with bands like Rites of Spring, Antioch Arrow, etc. Go listen to those bands now. The only thing that has changed about emo since those bands is that it has gotten heavier. Emo sounds nothing like Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, or any of that. It is not poppy. If there's one thing emo is not, it is poppy.

I'm not sure why bands like Brand New get called emo, but my guess is that when Sunny Day Real Estate came out, people started calling them emo. But they weren't. They were what's considered Post-Emo Indie Rock. I usually say Post-Emo for short (so as not to confuse it with Indie). After SDRE happened, a million clones popped up and a few years later we have bands like Brand New. The music has changed since SDRE, but the false label remains. Have you even heard Circle Takes the Square? Give them a listen. [url]www.hxcmp3.com/circle_takes_the_square[/url]

Happymeal 08-21-2004 09:36 PM

Can't find emo cd's anywhere.. And I don't download mp3(this laptop sucks). Did they release their albums(Rites Of Spring, Indian Summer, etc etc..haven't listened to them yet) only on vinyl?

Hey DFelon, have you heard of The Fall Of Troy?? They're nothing groundbreaking really, but they have a tight sound("Ghostship Part Four" is ATDi-ish). [url]www.purevolume.com/thefalloftroy[/url] In what category do they fit in?? Sorry to bother you and all.. but no one else here seems to notice them..

alkaline1832 08-21-2004 09:58 PM

br3ad_man 08-21-2004 10:45 PM

[QUOTE=DFelon204409]Simple Plan and Good Charlotte are pop. Straight up. The faux-hawk doesn't make them any more punk than their whelping. Brand New's earlier stuff was clearly pop-punk. Listen to real pop-punk bands like Bodyjar or Millencolin and listen to [i]Your Favorite Weapon[/i]. Notice the similarities? Brand New's new CD is more indie than anything else, excepting when they take Taking Back Sunday's dual vocal thing and also on way poppy songs like "The Quiet Things No One Ever Knows." "The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot" are clearly more indie. Alternative emo would be a good classifcation if emo were completely obliterated and replaced with "pop-punk." Breadboy I'm glad you at least try to discern what genre bands are. Your efforts in comprehension are respectable. Thank you.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, YFW was pretty pop-punk. Some songs off DE have a pretty poppy sound, and others dont at all. Indie seems a strange classification to me though, they don't really sound much like Modest Mouse or Dinosaur Jr.

allmusic says that DE is pop-punk/emo. Is it possible that they are both. While they aren't very similar, I can see SOME similarities between them and Circle Takes The Square.

If you want to get technical, then Brand New are Poppy Post-Emo Indie Rock.

srt-4 08-22-2004 01:56 AM

how do you pronounce saetia? like saytia? or saysha?

shane italian 08-22-2004 02:00 AM

Saytia from what I know.

[QUOTE=DFelon204409]If you IM me I'll direct transfer songs to you.

Fall of Troy is definitely emoish dude. The screaming sounds more contrived but intense than emotional. The idea of screaming in emo is it's supposed to sound like a sputtering mess of honest emotion. Nonetheless when I listen to this I think instantly of the band Hot Cross, which is essentially emo with better instrumentalism and slicker production. I really love this! Thanks. (Also at this point I've only listened to "I just Got This Symphony Goin'" so I may change my opinion on the genre yet. So far it's awesome. I'd buy this CD. Where's it at.[/QUOTE]

Actually I don't have AIM right now, but I'm thinking of signing up one of these days, thanks.

And my friend just told me about The Fall Of Troy a few days ago so I don't know much about them either so I'm doing a bit of research at [url]www.thefalloftroy.com[/url]. Obviously I'm a noob, any stuff I can get from you vets I'm taking in and I really appreciate it. Thanks a bunch!

BuddyBigsby 08-22-2004 07:30 AM

One of my favorite screamo bands Happymeal, they're called Kaospilot. Plus they're one of the few screamo bands I know of that has their music up on the internet, you should check them out. [url]www.kaospilot.net[/url]

About Allmusic: Yeah, they can be pretty retarded when it comes to some stuff. Read the Rag Men review. They compare to them to Nickelback.
