Definitely agree about Prawn. I have all the releases on vinyl except the Moving Mountains split. I started listening with False Institutions and saw them after they released You Can Just Leave it All. Check out everything on their bandcamp.

Prawn rules.
Their track 'Why You Always Leave a Note' from their split with Joie De Vivre is so good.

Nice to see a debut Emo album that has gripped me as much as The Albatross

Yeah they gave me a big "... Is a Real Boy" era Say Anything feel which hooked me because I fucking love that album.

never a big fan of Say Anything but I adore Mother. Such a good album.
Just got their LP in blue. Can't wait!

You might also want to check out Their / They're / There --its a side project the singer of Into It. Over It. does with Mike Kinsella (on drums) and some guitarist I've never heard of (but is awesome). They only have two EPs so far, but they're working on an LP.
This is everything they've done so far:

Anyone listen to the new Pretend album Tapestry'd Life? It's pretty tough to describe but the instrumental work on it is crazy.

It's not even fair that Mike Kinsella is that good of a drummer. Like yeah just be good at everything why don't ya.

Yeah I listened to it because I always check out the new releases on top shelf but it wasn't really for me. I'll give it another shot though.
Their / They're / There on the other hand is great! I lined up early on record store day 2013 to get their EP and was definitely worth it. Such a good record. Give us a full length soon!

It's kind of silly isn't it? But he was the drummer in the first band--with his brother, when he was just like, 16--and he's been a drummer in some others too.

His solo project, Owen is pretty sweet too.

Owen is how I stumbled into the whole emo game. Not sure if I quite like where he's heading, if the cover album tracks are an indication, but I'll keep following him without question.
I can't get enough of I Do Perceive, At Home with Owen, and Ghost Town. I listen to everything else regularly enough too.

Better Off is probably close enough. More pop-punky/alternative to me but I am sure it will be welcomed enough.
They are pretty solid though
Better Off's record is great for sure. Not sure if it's top 10 material yet but great none the less.

well, for me the best emo albums for this year are The World is a Beautiful Place's Harmlesness and Foxing's Dealer, if you guys still haven't listened to them, you absolutely should do it nao!

Have you never listened to Foxing at all?

Pop Punk is cool. I really liked The Finer Things but I wasn't too stoked about the new State Champs album though. It feels a bit too over-produced or something. This hasn't been the best year for Pop Punk with the disappointment I felt from the new Wonder Years album. Luckily the emo releases have been solid.
Maybe a song or two. I'm pretty new to the emo game. Tigers Jaw and Hotelier were my first real albums I dug in the genre.

So these are my two favorites from Foxing's two LPs. Rory is their most famous song, but I would say The Albatross is a for sure emo revival staple. Dealer is an amazing album but it is more post-emo but an amazing album nonetheless and the song Eiffel is from it.
But if you have only listened to Tigers Jaw and The Hotelier then you have a lot of catching up to do lol Home Like Noplace is There is fucking amazing though, so good start with that

Into It. Over It. is amazing! Proper is probably my favorite album from him but Intersection is really good too. Also check out Pet Symmetry that's another side project he has going on.
PSA for everyone:
You can now download the leaked Brand New demos from their site in great quality for free (or pay what you want).
One of the best songs of last year.

So The Hotelier's Home Like No Place Is There is one of my most listened to albums of 2015.
I've listened to a lot of other recommendations in this thread and none have grabbed me quite like that album has.. what would you guys say is something similar musically to that album that I can try out?

Foxing announce new spring tour
Foxing is headlining and take a look at where you would go since it varies for the openers.
O'Brother is one and they are pretty legit.

I listened to this for the first time yesterday and it's really good and interesting. Will need to listen to it a bunch more times for it to sink in but great recommendation.
Still, no one can touch The Hotelier ahah

Man, I wish I could get into Dealer. For some reason the album didn't hit me at all. I need to listen to it a bunch more probably.
