Oh man, I didn't know this thread existed. Sign me up.
Glad to see someone else was not into TFB new album. Tried listening to it again the other day and something is just... off. I feel like it's over-produced (I don't know if that's a pompous thing to say, haha) and even the lyrics sound lazier to me.
They're playing at a venue near me in April and I've been really torn over whether I should go. Seen them twice live and both times were amazing... but if the majority of their set is the newest stuff I don't know if I can get behind it.
So hyped for this. Their newest EP was amazing, still playing it regularly. Would kill to see them live but they never come near me :'(

Love the KDev avatar. Reminds me that him and Jesse Lacey announced the last Devinyl split today. They're doing two R.E.M. songs.
Yea, that was my main feeling on it, felt over produced and just not as raw. I got to chat with Brian and the rest of the band after they played a show in Houston since their opener was a friend of a friend, and I softened my opinion of it to not offend him as he was a super nice dude. He also denied that their new label had any influence on the album. He mentioned that the album art was from a motorcycle riding class he took (which definitely came through in the lyrics as well) where each person contributed a different part of the bike. So overall, there are a few songs I like off it but its not in my normal rotation, I can still appreciate the effort and all that.
And for what its worth, when I saw them in November on their Back on Top tour it was still at least 50% old stuff as well as the new. So I say definitely still go to the show.
And that definitely sucks on MoBo, I've seen them like 3 times at this point with different crazy good openers every time.

Aw, that's cool about the album art. I met him at the last show I went to and you're right, he does seem like a super nice and genuine dude. If it was a good mix of old stuff still I will probably go then
Argh, I bet! Closest MoBo shows to me are always in NYC and even then they sell out fast. Ah well, one day.

The Rolling Stone posted a countdown if the 40 best emo albums of all time, and as is expected there's some questionable picks (MCR, Fall Out Boy, Panic at The Disco) but there's also some great stuff like the Jazz June, a Sunny Day Real Estate, Mineral and others.

That's an alright list. Some bands on there that I thought were obscure bands no one even heard of back when I listened to them in high school.
Pity Sex are streaming and new song and have a new record out on the 29th of April: http://www.interviewmagazine.com/music/exclusive-track-premiere-pity-sex-bonhomie#_
Pretty good song, one more release to look forward this year.

It isn't the worst list I have ever seen but there are way too many questionables on there and bands that are straight up not emo. Like Coheed wtf? I love Coheed but they are most certainly not emo. And then don't get me started on The Used, MCR, and Fall Out Boy.
I do agree with the number 1 album though
I love Pity Sex and this song was rad. Really looking forward to their new album

Have you listened to Coheed's first two albums? I'd argue that they (especially Second Stage) are definitely both emo records. Good Apollo probably wasn't the best choice.
Bands like MCR and FOB may look weird compared to stuff like Promise Ring, Orchid, or Braid, but I think both bands' early material (yeah, even FUTCT and Three Cheers) were heavily rooted in/inspired by second wave emo.
As much as some people may hate considering mall emo and other third wave bands a part of the legit emo pedigree, these albums start to make sense when you think about how music was changing around 2000. The internet changed the game when it came to accessibility. Suddenly people had access to practically any song they could think of. I could download records from bands that would never have been stocked in my middle of nowhere Disc Jockey or Wal-Mart alongside ska, hardcore, metal, jazz, pop, or anything else that I heard about. I think that (along with the obvious mainstream popularity of bands that hit it big on the radio) is one big reason why third wave stuff may sound really different even though it really isn't.

I really think you will be hard pressed to call Coheed emo still. Second Turbine you could argue PHC but emo I will never agree with.
I can see it with MCR and FOB as much as I hate it with all the connotations those bands come with. FOB really has no ties to the genre while MCR does but very lightly.
I'm just fucking stoked that Rolling Stone put Orchid in a fucking article of theirs lol
This Citizen tour with Turnover, Sorority Noise and Milk Teeth is crazy. Everybody in the US should try and catch it.
I love FOB but Pete Wentz would be the first guy to tell you they aren't emo. They started as a pop-punk outfit and evolved into the pop band they are now but yeah, no emo there.

Caught them on their last tour and they played Sun live. Unfortunately to say, it was a pretty bad song. I love Home, but that song was really bad and had a pretty bad vibe for the show. I'm hoping the rest of the album is flawless to make up for it.

This is a good idea.
I also had a thought that an EmoGaf playlist that people could add new releases to or just shit that they're into at the moment might be sweet. Not sure on the ideal platform or logistics of this but it's a cool idea I think.

I can start making a list for upcoming releases and post it this week.
I can't make a playlist since I don't have spotify or Last.fm anymore. I think one of those would be the better way to go if we want to make a playlist though
I like the idea of an EmoGaf playlist. There's tons of stuff here that get posted that get lost and it would make it easier to listen to.
I'm no longer subscribed to Spotify (rocking Apple Music now) but since the base service is free anyway I say that's the best way to do it. I'm not sure how editing playlists go and if we can allow for different people to do it.

Awesome! Both songs sound great. Love this band so much.

Apple Cider, I Don't Mind is fucking dope. Really excited about this album.
Didn't know it was split into songs written by each guy A side/B side style. That's interesting and curious to see if one writer resonates more with me/most fans.
Liked both of those. Apple cider probably a bit more on first listen though.
Oh they also just announced a tour with Joyce manor. Dude up above who hadn't seen them see if they come nearby!

Okay I'm going to start putting together a public Spotify playlist. I'll look back through the pages of this thread and include songs/bands people have been posting.
If anybody has any specific requests shoot me a pm or post in this thread.
Also I can make other Spotify users a collaborator meaning they can freely add to the playlist as well. If anybody is interested in that let me know.

So, Jesse Lacey covered R.E.M. and it's pretty great: http://www.thefader.com/2016/03/03/jesse-lacey-bad-day-rem-cover
Even if I don't subscribe do Spotify I would be up for being a collaborator since I could add stuff with the free version. I'm signed up with Facebook so I have no idea how to add other users.

Sounds great. I'd be up for adding to the playlist, although I just got a Spotify account days ago and don't really know how to use it yet :B
Man, I wish more bands would tour in upstate NY and not just the city. But having Joyce Manor headlining for MoBo totally makes the trip worth it. Their self-titled album is fantastic, I can only imagine dancing around to Constant Headache live.

Okay I don't know if this will work but if you click this link it should lead to a playlist that is open for anybody to add to:

I got it started with a few recommendations from the thread and a few of my favourites. Hopefully it works

This is awesome, thanks for doing this.
Here's a list of tour dates for Modern Baseball/Joyce Manor/Thin Lips. Sorry if it's been posted already
Also a reminder that the Saetia release from Secret Voice is dropping this month if anyone is interested in that.
We'll have to agree to disagree there.
"I should call my parents when I think of them, I should tell my friends when I love them" is such a good line.
You are right on Turnover though. Solid album top to bottom. My favorite song by them is actually Disintegration, though that probably says more about me than I'm comfortable.
In the same show? Cause that would top the Mobo and Rosenstock show I went to even.

Just so you guys know, if you add to the playlist I'm pretty sure it will show your real name on the track list, or whatever name is associated with your Spotify account.
haha sadly no, that would have been amazing.

I'll have to throw my two cents into that playlist if Spotify ever decides to load.
