[QUOTE=Sep]Can you recommend any good Dutch emo/screamo bands?
The only ones I know of are: Jetsetready, Believeisadoubt and The Spirit That Guides Us.[/QUOTE]

I wouldn't really call Jetsetready or Believeisadoubt emo bands.

tornpictures 01-29-2005 02:26 PM

Exactly.

There's no such thing. Dashboard Confessional is not emo, but more like the James Taylor of the 00's.

Mike_portnoy14 01-29-2005 02:58 PM

i din say they were emo did i

We all know that's what you were implying. If emo is an offshoot of hardcore, then how likely is it that there would be any acoustic emo bands? Or good ones, for that matter?

BridgeToSolace 01-29-2005 07:38 PM

I've got the album "Supernova" by Under A Dying Sun.

My AIM is "IbleedtheskyI", and my Soulseek is Bleed The Sky.

bendurarmstolooklikewings 01-29-2005 08:27 PM

about the acoustic emo band thing, but die emperor die have an acoustic cd.i'm not really sure if they're emo,im not good at classifying

cbmartinez 01-29-2005 09:51 PM

Man, Books Lie are the s[B][I][/I][/B]hit.

[QUOTE=YDload]There's no such thing. Dashboard Confessional is not emo, but more like the James Taylor of the 00's.[/QUOTE]

Actually, there is an acoustic emo 'band.'

The Deadwood Divine.
Pretty hard to track stuff down by, but it was Tom Lomacchio's 'project' after Plunger. He was going through some pretty rough **** back then.

Cbmartinez, if you want to buy Books Lie 'The Hall of Fame of Fire' Lp off me.. hit me up. I HATED it. Only played half a time.

cbmartinez 01-30-2005 08:19 AM

Whoa, that'd be cool. I'll think about it.

tornpictures 01-30-2005 09:03 AM

Hey, I might be co-putting out a record soon!!
If it works out it's going to be awesome.

Split 5", bands are still secret.

Death_cab_for_benfolds 01-30-2005 12:22 PM

What genre are underoath?and can anyone recommend me any bands which are in the same genre

cbmartinez 01-30-2005 12:24 PM

Underoath is like a pop-punk/"metalcore." Bands in the same genre would be like RosesAreRed, Glory Of This, From Autumn To Ashes, and Funeral For A Friend.

BridgeToSolace 01-30-2005 02:08 PM

[QUOTE=cbmartinez] RosesAreRed[/QUOTE]

And you make fun of me when I mention Glory Of This.

Roses Are Red are far worse.

cbmartinez 01-30-2005 02:29 PM

Did I say I like RosesAreRed? He asked for bands that sound like Underoath. Underoath= pop-punk with the occasional scream and heavy part. RosesAreRed= pop-punk with the occasional scream and heavy part. Come to think of it, he would probably like Glory Of This also.

[QUOTE=thriftstoresweater]does anyone consider alexisonfire screamo because I do but people say different[/QUOTE]
Nope, sorry.

thriftstoresweater 01-30-2005 06:39 PM

oh ok, what about taking back sunday, I thought they where emo but some people sya there pop-punk. What is alexisonfire than?

[QUOTE=thriftstoresweater]oh ok, what about taking back sunday, I thought they where emo but some people sya there pop-punk. What is alexisonfire than?[/QUOTE]
They sound pop punk to me. Maybe post-hardcore? Iunno, still a good band.

thriftstoresweater 01-30-2005 06:51 PM

Thanks, they are my two favourite bands right now (i usually find a new band every week). Is "Exploisions In The Sky" a emo or screamo band?( cant spell)

BridgeToSolace 01-30-2005 08:30 PM

Explosions In The Sky - Post-Rock
Taking Back Sunday - Pop-punk
Alexisonfire - Post-hardcore or emocore. No one will lynch you depending on which one of those you say. (I think/hope)

Special Brew 01-30-2005 09:41 PM

[QUOTE=cbmartinez]Underoath. Underoath= pop-punk with the occasional scream and heavy part.[/QUOTE]

Have you heard much Underoath? It's more than an occasional scream, most of the vocals are screams. But they have alot of the clean "emo" style vocals that bands use these days too.

I like Underoath and I guess they would be emocore... they aren't emo and they are a little heavier than the modern "fake emo" bands. They have a couple of songs that sound a little metalcore though. I don't know about those other two bands though. Alexisonfire would go in the same genre I believe.

Special Brew 01-30-2005 09:48 PM

[QUOTE=DFelon204409]Also, I finally finished my CTTS review.

Special Brew 01-31-2005 12:49 AM

[QUOTE=DFelon204409]Congratulations. You just figured out popcore. Not emocore. alexisonfire is post-hardcore. Underoath is popcore.[/QUOTE]

lol, I have never heard popcore before. All these music genres make my head spin. :lol:

Sep 01-31-2005 05:39 AM

What is post-hardcore anyway?

tornpictures 01-31-2005 06:07 AM

[QUOTE=DFelon204409]I was at Ameoba Records in Berkeley today and I decided to look through the vinyl section to see if I could find some Reach Out but alas, they don't have it. They had a bunch of interesting **** though. And then they had 15 copies of some DMX record.[/QUOTE]

Reach Out stuff is pretty hard to find nowadays. I don't like seeing people drop $15+ on our records.

Anyway, you live in Berkeley? That's awesome. Go see The Pine.

And does that old dude still work at Amoeba? I guess I haven't been there for 7+ years or something.

[QUOTE=DFelon204409]It's a further schism from hardcore. While emo was an attempt to not only draw more complex songs into the mix but mostly to introduce more introspective and poetic lyricism into the music, post-hardcore was an attempt to retain the characterists of hardcore that made it so catchy like the breakdown and the sing along unity feel but extend that with crazy musicianship. That's why Trophy Scars will tread the line you know? They'll have some songs without breakdowns and that good ol' screamo chaos but then other songs will be about complex song structure but have a sick breakdown. The lines are indeed blurry but when properly analyzed there is a method to the madness.[/QUOTE]

That was a great explanation. Thanks a lot.

Fugazi are a post-hardcore band, too.

cbmartinez 01-31-2005 10:06 AM

Everyone check out [b]Racebannon.[/b] Their this zainy hardcore/noise group on Secretly Canadian records. Reccomended for fans of An Albatross, Melt Banana, Arab On Radar, etc.

I don't really like them that much.

Did a split Lp with Song of Zarathustra on Level Plane.
7" on Witching Hour.
Couple records on Alone.

And more.

Weird, their song "Electricity" on epitonic sounded more along the lines of The Icarus Line and a bit of Mclusky..

hey, you're not cory! 01-31-2005 08:15 PM

ok, i don't come to this thread much. and i know what REAL emo and screamo are cause i listen to a little bit of it. and i'm not asking if this band is emo or screamo but i am asking what you would classify them as. anyway...what is At the Drive-In?

cbmartinez 01-31-2005 08:17 PM

At The Drive In are a mixture of indie and hardcore. Perhaps some post-hardcore also.

cbmartinez 01-31-2005 08:17 PM

[QUOTE=Happymeal]Weird, their song "Electricity" on epitonic sounded more along the lines of The Icarus Line and a bit of Mclusky..[/QUOTE]

I'm not indie enough to listen to those bands so that comment does nothing for me.
