Wrong genre if you're looking for instrumental virtuosity.

The Blood Brothers do some interesting stuff with the bass.

Haha, and they call you the 'emo authority.'

Most emo bands could definitely play their instruments well, like the Saetia guitarist (for a better-known example).
The chords played aren't just normal power chords, they're mostly octave chords, using 4+ strings.

Emo songs mostly follow a pattern: Intro, intro intro, buildup, explosion, buildup, explosion.

Very little vocals in alot of songs.

Now, for the bass: The Red Scare. I know they're more of a hardcore band, but the bass plays a big part in most of their songs. '12 Years Past' is a good example.

[QUOTE=hums_like_a_TELECASTER]omg, you guys, are just lame, you have NO clue what screamo or emo is, and underoath IS SCREAMO! morons, i'll give a list of good emo/screamo bands,


Screamo:
Hidden In Plain View
Finch
Underoath

Emo:
brand new
the early november
straylight run
taking back sunday
Coheed & cambria
Matchbook romance

thats not all, im just not in the mood to think right now, but thats just to give you some examples[/QUOTE] Dude, you will be flamed for the rest of your life. now im 12, and i know what real screamo is. finch is pretty much pop-punk, underoath are like emotional soft-core, something like that. I haven't heard that much of hidden in plain view, but they sound pop-punk to me. screamo is you and i, off minor, saetia, and the other bands they put there. u just got beat by a 12 year old music snob. by the way does anyone have any cowboys become folk heroes mp3's?

^Good for you.

[QUOTE=AKid2]Anybody here like Underoath? I think they are pretty sweet.[/QUOTE]

screamo isn't a genre.

Anyone heard of emery? They kick a lot of ***.

together.

This is like Hardcore/Metalcore Education Junior... actually, its more like a spin-off. Some of the same characters, but everything else is different.

Hahaha. It's so like a sitcom. You have the cast and now the spinoffs. We so need a laugh track.

And remember, like I mentioned a long time ago, Gotkookie is the annoying retarded kid next door.

What's torn, then?

The smart, stuck-up guy that you love to hate.

*waits for someone to say something all nice about me so I can go "aww"*

Shane is the italian A.C. Slater.

Sorry to change the subject but does anyone know any Emo songs to woo a girl with? I started a thread like this in the punk forums and got the hell bashed outta me. I didnt know there was an Emo thread.

Also, anyone know any acoustic Boxcar Racer songs other than "There Is?" I just recently started to listen to them and dont know a lot about them.

If you came in here to find refuge from bashing, with that post, you won't.

Why?
Let me refraise the first part. I want a romantic song to ask her out to

A bit better.

Box Car Racer is not emo, and the people in here will let you know it.

use sleeping or fuc[B][I][/I][/B]king or something by Moss Icon.

Or becoming the truth by Saetia.

most of the female box car racer fans I know love those songs.

I never said they were emo, but a few of their songs have emo characteristics in them like "Sorrow" and "There Is."

You know where I can download them? I get no hits on WinMX.

I showed you that band, I want 35% of your pus[font=verdana]s[/font]y income.

Huh? I got the Bleeding Kansas part, but that sentence is so butchered up.

I get no hits on that band either...

Any other bands?

You wouldn't like Bleeding Kansas, so don't worry about it. If you reaaaalllllllyyyyyy want to hear them though they have songs up at [url]www.hxcmp3.com/bleeding_kansas[/url] and at [url]www.abacusrecordings.com[/url]

OK... thats not what i had in mind.

Im looking for something a little less.....VIOLENT!!!
