rolling emo/pop-punk/bullshit/feelings about pizza 2014

very very impressive lyrically which probably accounts for how much i've already listened to it

can't stop listening to the new braid

finally heard the first driver friendly album chase the white whale this morning and it's fucking AWESOME

fuck it, making a driver friendly thread that no one replies to

dig that song!

going to Paramore/Fall Out Boy co-headliner tonight!

YEAH SPOTTIE HAVE AN AWESOME TIME

YES! v excited really, bday present from my wife, nice girl imo

yeah i went last month and paramore are unbelievable live these days

The show was so good. Paramore we're better I think.

everyone's going nuts about that prawn record and i'm kinda... neutral about it still.

this one's pretty good though

^^ I liked it the couple times I listened. Sounds like he's got potential but isn't quite there yet.

have i mentioned how much i love this new braid album? addicting

1. i search for this thread via "emo pizza"

2. should i buy mineral tickets on stubhub?

no idea what mineral would be like now but if you like their records enough, sure?

doing awesome in this thread right now

Just discovered this Joyce Manor album and enjoying it a ton. It's notably succinct, 10 bursts of hi quality emoish pop punk in about 19 minutes.

Here's the great opening track, "Christmas Card":

http://youtu.be/fenyfqlHfbQ

yeah basically i've been playing nothing but Joyce Manor and The Hotelier for several days

love the JM album, almost as good as their self-titled

that joyce manor record ROCKS

they do more with 19 minutes than the vast majority of bands do with 40, it's awesome

esp love "Victoria" and "Cataline Fight Song," more bands need to be doing great things in 100 seconds or less

haha since the Joyce Manor was news to no one but me, is everyone also enjoying the new RVIVR track as much as I am? been playing it on a loop, from a new EP coming in about two weeks:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHsotk9ELPY

Nice track. Great vox in particular.

god rvivr keep getting better

oh shit rvivr

so the new RVIVR ep is here and goddamn is it good

https://rvivr.bandcamp.com/album/bicker-and-breathe-ep

I like how the first track seems to end in a natural place and you're thinking ok that was a really good song but then it's like syke we're not done here and whacks you in the side of the head with a massive group singalong coda

fuuuck yes

New Dads is streaming, good

http://pitchfork.com/advance/563-ill-be-the-tornado/

the new dads is pretty good (lol)

also rainer maria reunited??!?!!?!!!!!?????!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?????!?!?!?!!!!!!! playing bowery on nye

wat

this doesn't quite fit this thread (it's more power-pop than pop-punk) but i think it's totally brilliant

:)

RVIVR's "Goodbyes" definitely closing out my year-end mix

after a few listens i really love the new jazz june record (who knew) http://noisey.vice.com/blog/the-jazz-june-after-the-earthquake-album-stream

also rainer maria reunited??!?!!?!!!!!?????!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?????!?!?!?!!!!!!! playing bowery on nye

I last saw them play at Bowery Ballroom with Ted Leo and Cave In. Must have been 1999? Totally all over the place bill that worked really well.

as a person who'll always have a place in my music heart for brand new, MCR, thursday, jimmy eat world, some fall out boy back in the day & also got into the genre roots stuff like jawbox, rites of spring, texas is the reason, etc. etc...i find it odd that i can't really latch onto much of the "emo revival" stuff. just doesn't do it for me - like i dont like TWIABP or balance & composure or the hotelier or into it. over it. that much. also the frontperson of TWIABP threw shade at MCR in an interview, so i obvs have a vendetta against him for LIFE

exceptions have been dads & joyce manor - those are all good. recommendations for stuff in that vein worth checking out?

sounds like you were not necessarily into the midwestern brand of emo that a lot of this revival "twinkle" stuff traces back to

have you tried Dikembe? I liked some stuff from their new album this year

maybe also Crash of Rhinos

have not heard of either, will try.

i mean i've tried braid and mineral and promise ring & liked bits and pieces from either but i guess it didn't stick, although jimmy eat world comes from that scene to some extent and i like them. and for all the "mainstream/breakthrough" emo bands i listed, i also was either bored by or truly disliked saves the day, senses fail, most taking back sunday, dashboard confessional and whatnot.

*from all

man that hotelier record is still prob my top "emo revival" release of the year, idk the melodies just grow so naturally out of each other and are so powerful. joyce manor is also the best

if you have a lot of love for jimmy eat world you might like the driver friendly record that came out this year or all of their records really

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMDgG6T4IpI

i'm also a big fan of the jazz june record that came out this year but it's them doing really straightforward pop-rock

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

imo a bunch of the emo revival bands just aren't that interesting, including TWIABP, Into It, Modern Baseball, etc. You Blew It's OK.

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

xpost i dig that Driver Friendly record, too

between last year's rolling emo thread and this one i've developed a real loathing for the world is
