Hot Cross - Patience and Prudence
Between Minutes and Miles
Finger Redux
Pretty Picture of a Broken Face
Fortune Teller

Saetia - Notres Langues Nous Trompent
Venus and Bacchus

Planes Mistaken for Stars - Thunder in the Night Forever
Copper and Stars

The Past Two

Ahem. "An Open Letter", anyone?

Song Of Zarathustra "Tame"
Pg99 "Your Face Is A Rape Scene"
The Paper Chase "I Did A Terrible Thing"

Can anybody suggest some The (International) Noise Conspiricy for me to download? Ago they're hardcore, well I think I haven't heard anything by them to actually know.

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

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

A new Morning,Changing Weather

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.

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

...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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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]

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..
