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.

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 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

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!
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Wednesday, 7 January 2015 18:53 (nine years ago) link
the year kicked off w/ a bang with the new fall out boy album, but they obviously have their own thread.
