TMC: What’s the story behind the Manchester Orchestra name?

Andy: I really like The Smiths.

jfc

do +/- Plus/Minus count as emo? vocals aren't quite in the emo register but it's a little mathy with some twinkly bits in there

this new album is a pleasant surprise

I don't know if Skaters belongs here musically, but I did enjoy their NYC pizza crawl...

here's a record i nearly never listened to bc the band name and album title are hideous

Pitchfork gave it an 8.2 today! I agree that the band name and title are wretched. Really like the tracks they're streaming on the site though.

it's a fantastic record

soooooo psyched for the new taking back sunday record http://www.takingbacksunday.com/stood-a-chance/

haha and i think the new taking back sunday is pretty remarkable, it's streaming at amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=amb_link_385069022_1?ie=UTF8&docId=1002343191&tag=smarturl-20

"the ocean" lives up to the idea of a manchester orchestra song called "the ocean"

the Ocean is a good one. otm about this guitar tone.

Man, I have a LOT of time for TBS, but I thought this new one started off really great but fell off hard in the second half.

jon! i thought the same thing! but then! it grew on me! like a lot!

oh yeah, the new braid song is a jam! http://www.npr.org/blogs/allsongs/2014/05/08/310149644/song-premiere-braid-bang

lot of npr links in this year's thread

apparently the new say anything album was written and recorded entirely without guitars. the two songs they've released are i think the best i've heard from them in years http://noisey.vice.com/blog/say-anything-judas-decapitation-premiere

Always wanted Say Anything to collab with Atom and his Package, my wish has come true!

NEW

FRIENDLY

oh btw the new menzingers rules

menzingers r boring

yeah i've never really understood the menzingers love. i picked up the last one after hearing some good buzz, but it seemed like the really boring stuff that was dime-a-dozen in half the midwest punk scenes of the late 90s

but with nabokov references! yawn

hey brad nelson, is artifex pereo a brad nelson band? because i thought i was reading about some kind of hardcore-prog thing but when the album started it was all wahey, this is a brad nelson band

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMfa-IfzrufqfhyJv8TPGdU-h2QNFIHje

it is possible that i have a misinformed idea of what a brad nelson band sounds like

idk if this is what a brad nelson band sounds like but i like it a lot!

gotta be real, emo landing in some bizarre space between coheed and mars volta is a sweet spot for me

it seemed like the really boring stuff that was dime-a-dozen in half the midwest punk scenes of the late 90s

idk i will take sub-dillinger four basically all day forever

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZscWmIizzw

i fucking love d4, i have little to no interest in a pedestrian d4

scratches a familiar itch, i guess. seeing them tomorrow with lemuria and pup, which should be bouncy.

Man there's no way that is in the same table as Dillinger Four

Sounds to me like Jawbreaker or something else I was never really into

in keeping secrets + second stage turbine do not suck

coheed does NOT suck but i can't think of a band like them out there right now

also imo the afterman records were a real return to form for coheed

also, it's kind of all over this thread already, but RVIVR is amazing

sucks is a strong word. my bad. just not my thing, mostly because of prob the most unlistenable voice aside from that simple plan dude. but yea, to their credit what they did was pretty original at the time, sonically.

Hotelier guy's voice is certainly on the line of too reedy/whiny, but I dunno ... it works for me. I guess he stays just on the right side of the line.

But the real draw on HOME LIKE NOPLACE IS THERE, for me, are the guitars. they just feel so ... i dunno, for lack of a better word: epic. i should explain that better, but am swamped right now ... but as just one example, the way the main guitar riff comes to life at :43 of "Among the Wildflowers" (and just the beautiful melodic arc of that little riff in general) is some life-affirming shit, man.

kinda got into the recent coheed album, not all of it but some of it worked well.

But The Hotelier and Joyce Manor are both *awesome* ... or at least their 2014 records are.

Joyce Manor's s/t debut is a bit of a modern classic imo, their 2nd one is good too but it's absurdly skimpy even by their standards

closer to thrice than coheed but i guess one of my answers to the question upthread is "circa survive," whose new record is excellent and streaming on youtube http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH22-xSMERQqUX3ogTqRNTqgzOZbdoxeW

i remember when c&c/thrice and thursday were touring together - it was like the nirvana/pearl jam/soundgarden tour for emo kids!

I completely get why people don't like them, and On the Impossible Past did nothing for me at all, but I have been listening to the Menzingers' Rented World an awful lot lately. There's something satisfying about how basic and stubbornly unclever the lyrics are, especially in conjunction with the music, which is very polished and streamlined but still convincingly gloomy. Just the right amount of melodrama. Maybe it's just a symptom of the constant blah downer feeling that being back in school after a prolonged absence brings out.

i've never been able to get into their albums but i loved them when they opened for gaslight anthem

lots of energy

they're great live and dull on record

newish iron chic track from a split 7"

https://soundcloud.com/noisey/iron-chic-lesprit-de-lescalier

Not sure if they fit here, but I'm digging the new Two Inch Astronaut record, kinda reminds me of the Don Vail record from a few years back. Pleaantly knotty and 90s.

i fucking love two inch astronaut

I guess this is gonna be my best chance to link to a track from the don vail album, since there's no reason that anyone who wasn't paying strict attn to Cdn college rock in the late 00s would have ever heard it - falls into that not-indie/not-emo hinterland for me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qA37a3dJ92k

the following thought is apropos of nothing rly but i need a safe space to shout it:

WHY THE FUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKK WON'T THERE BE A NEW BRAND NEW ALBUM THERE'D SRSLY BE NO TIME BETTER THAN RIGHT NOW :[ :[ :[

at least they seem to be recording?

did they post about it or something? i didn't hear about this at all

yeah they've been teasing weird things on their website. they've been recording for a few months

whoaoaoaoaa the new funeral for a friend stuff

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsBlMfP21aI

album out in january

Nice

so are we doing a 2015 thread for this stuff or just keep going here?

definitely feels like this stuff is prominent enough rn to warrant its own thread. it certainly is in my life.

haven't found anything neat to start the new thread off with!

the year kicked off w/ a bang with the new fall out boy album, but they obviously have their own thread.

ok, fair enough! as long as we're sticking with it.
