Porch Luck has a few great songs... they basically remind me of Grown Ups minus the sublime awesomeness but they're still good

They're different for me from Grown Ups. I could honestly do without Grown Up's vocals and just listen to all the tasty jams, but Hightide always seemed to be more about the songwriting and their sound is more of a synthesis of emo and pop-punk.

Their singers a real nice guy, one time before I saw them play we were both sitting on a couch and I was basically really drunk and being ridiculous, and then later when I saw him start playing I was like holy shit. Felt like a dick, but he was real kind.

pissed to be missing this show tomorrow... damn the fact that I'm [i]always[/i] at home when there's cool shows at school like a few blocks away

[QUOTE=Spec;18328974]I'm not saying the genre is bad. I just mean that no one really understands what it means. People labelled bands like Fall Out Boy as "emo."[/QUOTE]
who the fuck cares

so since the R&M emo thread is failing to deliver imma ask here

any Braid fans? I think they need more rep around here, Frame & Canvas is a fucking incredible album

p sure everyone likes braid

i think i like age of octeen better but yeah they're cool... not as cool as mineral though c'mon

Julia > all these other midwestern bands


except maybe Rockets and Blue Lights

comparing Braid to Mineral LOL. Braid are nothing compared to Mineral. Braid are like uhhhh The Jealous Sound, The Promise Ring and other bands that simply get insignificant and pointless next to Mineral... much like every band ever.

Mineral are so good. and besides, pretty much every American "indiemo" band just sounds like a lesser Rusty James with inherent Cap'n Jazz-worship.

now I want to put on Rusty James.

yeah Mineral are sorta in a league of their own...

I love me some Knapsack though
them and Jets to Brazil are my go-to when it comes to that type

those are pretty good bands, yo. Rusty James are better though. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOaB1NyEoCM[/url]

rockets and blue lights are awful

pshhhh

I'm going to fucking beat the shit out of you if i ever meet you irl

christie front drive, luck of aleia are the best midwestern bands to do it

luc214 uh ok go listen to straight edge hardcore, you'll find it fits your personality much more

threatening to beat people on the w3 LOL / ignore

kbike

never thought you were the brightest guy anyhow, so I won't miss your posts at all




@onthebrink I haven't seen you post anything before, but that's a great first post, haha. people don't really talk about '90s emo here. and those bands are indeed really great.

we used to, many moons ago.

yeah but everyone moved on and are now listening to dubstep or death metal LOL

i never got into the midwest stuff. i dig appleseed cast and american football a little bit but thats really it

actually i think most of us just moved on to hardcore for the most part, or phish if you're matt ;)


in the end though, i was more about the late 90s screamoz

listen to The Spirit of Versailles

i mean they're midwest and shit, but they're more of a band to be qualified under the screamo banner.

also, a blast from the past happened when i saw that my friend scotty was selling his copy of the The Sea, The Sea 1-sided LP. i almost wish i wasn't selling all of my records lol.

LOL

a lot of previous "screamo kids" who got into screamo in 2005 and only listened to bands in 2000 are selling records they bought second hand for $3 on eBay for $50
