[QUOTE=JimbobTheSquirrel]Oh, ok. I'd heard they were and they weren't, I think. What about Biffy Clyro? I wouldn't have thought they were emo, but I heard they were.
After much soul searching (read: actualy thinking about it) I've realised that I don't really object to emo. There's some crap music, as with any genre, and the fashion looks ridiculous to me, but those aren't reasons to discount it. So what are some good emo bands I should check out, now that I've decided to be open-minded about it? I've heard some Atreyu and Avenged Sevenfold (who were emo but aren't anymore?), and I didn't think they were great. My favourite bands right now are Rammstein, QOTSA, Placebo and System, if that helps reccomendations. Sorry if there's already a thread for this and I'm just wasting space in your community thread. Feel free to come spam up the PNWI community thread, it's all we ever do in it:).[/QUOTE]
well since you havnt heard a single emo band but like metal, I would say start with rites of spring, embrace, and early fugazi (obviously) but after that you might be more interested in the emo's schizophrenic daughter screamo: check out In/Humanity, Pg. 99, Orchid, The Red Scare, Hassan I Sabbah, Usurp Synapse, and After School KnifeFight. :)

[QUOTE=DFelon204409]Well, I mean, just read the band name. I'd guess they sound like Atreyu with worse lyrics and more obvious breakdowns.[/QUOTE]
yeah... outright terrible.

Early Fugazi definitely, I already like some of their later stuff. I didn't mean to give the impression that I'm into metal, my taste is sort of... I wouldn't say eclectic, but spread around a bit. Not that I don't like metal, I just don't specificaly like it. I'll have a look around for the other stuff, thanks:)

listening to that will make your friends think your selection of music eclectic as hell... just sit down and to tell them to listen dance tonight, revolution tommorow! and see how they look.

[QUOTE=Axe]Is Bullet for my valentine considered scremo?
because they seriously rock.
Hand of blood \m/[/QUOTE]
They're British i think.

Pretty bad from what i've heard.

[QUOTE=JimbobTheSquirrel]Oh, ok. I'd heard they were and they weren't, I think. What about Biffy Clyro? I wouldn't have thought they were emo, but I heard they were.[/QUOTE]
Good band but they aren't emo mate. More like pop-rock.

[QUOTE=RCVA]Good band but they aren't emo mate. More like pop-rock.[/QUOTE]
So I thought. I didn't see how they were emo myself, but I think I read it in some stupid review...

I've got Infinity Land. It's good.

[QUOTE=RCVA]I've got Infinity Land. It's good.[/QUOTE]
That being one of their albums? I don't particularily like them, they're ok, but I was only mentioning them to confirm my suspicions that they had nothing to do with emo.

great band pretty orginal aswell IMO

I like Biffy Clyro from what I've heard.

I don't care what anyone says, Saetia is one of the best emo bands ever.

I agree Chris. Awesome band.

i've never heard saetia

Hot Cross is better though.

I haven't listened to enough Hot Cross. I have [I]Cyronics[/I] and [I]Fair Trades and Fairwells[/I], but I don't listen to them very often.

I do like them a lot though.

Nah.
Saetia is better.
The new stuff by Hot Cross sounds empty.
They need another guitarist.

Anyone heard the new JR Ewing? I've heard the new stuff is a bit wierd.

[QUOTE=Wow]Sep, download Lyburnum Wits.[/QUOTE]

I just downloaded that. Incredible song.

I hadn't actually heard Moss Icon yet. I've always mistaken them with Heroin for some reason. Moss Icon are so much better though.

Guys I need bands like Saetia and Hot Cross for a mix I'm making my friend. I can't think of any bands besides CTTS.

As in bands that sound like Saetia/Hot Cross?

I don't think there's many bands that sound like them.
Maybe stick on some:

Joshua Fit For Battle
Jerome's Dream
Orchid
Belle Epoque
Dispensing Of False Halos
You And I
Bright Calm Blue
Kite Flying Society
City Of Caterpillar
Envy

Anasarca, the band Saetia ripped off.

I've never even heard of Anasarca.

[QUOTE=Wow]Anasarca, the band Saetia ripped off.[/QUOTE]

So whered i you quote that from? I read it somewhere before. Anasarca aren't that good anyway.

[QUOTE=JimbobTheSquirrel]Good... Good...

that would be the title of a really good album by orchid.

thats an old thread title off of vlv.

It's not a quote. Ask Jamie from Saetia. He even admits they ripped a lot from Anasarca.

new avatar.

i don't see how you could think hot cross are better than saetia.

a new set of lungs was captivating, but other than that...

I think Saetia is much better than Hot Cross.

I don't completely consider hot Cross emo :-/

They're just too weird and I really don't feel the emotion in their music. Post hardcore seems like a better definition... I really enjoy them though.

[QUOTE=Damien Rhodes]Post hardcore seems like a better definition.[/QUOTE]
Nah.

[QUOTE=cbmartinez]Hot Cross is better though.[/QUOTE]

hell yes. and Jamie told me he took a lot of inspiration from Anasarca in Saetia. Damien, you can't deny the emotion in [I]Cryonics[/I] or [I]A New Set Of Lungs[/I]. On Fairtrades, its def not as apparent, and he doesn't really scream anymore.

Also add I Would Set Myself On Fire For You on Sep's list.

Yeah, I was listening to [I]Cryonics [/I]today and I think it's one of the best emo albums ever. The tracks just have so much movement and the instrumental technicality is so good. The last track is so f[size=2]u[/size]cking awesome.

[I]Cryonics[/I] is my favorite album. Its just a very solid album throughout. Requiescat is an awesome track, but I think Pretty Picture Of A Broken Face is their best on that album.

The ending to "Pretty Picture..." is so good. My other favorites are "Dissertation: 14" and "A Tale For The Ages."

I like A Tale For The Ages a lot too, it trails behind Pretty Picture..but In Memory of Morvern is another amazing track off that album. Patience and Prudence too.

there are no faults on cryonics whatsoever

[QUOTE=cbmartinez]Hot Cross is better though.[/QUOTE]
Nah.

i have a feeling their new record is going to be faultless.
