rolling emo/pop-punk/cats 2016

i guess it's a really equal collaboration between max bemis and the drummer from mutemath, and apparently kanye...consulted on it?

it's a real disaster

haha what is going on in there

omg the opening minute or so of "Attaboy" might be the funniest thing I've ever heard

this has to be one of the worst-produced albums ever

i'm listening to earlier say anything albums and getting angrier about the new one, what a pile of garbage

(i think pup are only ok but that lyric video is something)

everybody's going nuts over the pinegrove album https://soundcloud.com/runforcoverrecords/02-pinegrove-cadmium/s-k5lk5

guilty

the pinegrove album is AMAZING, wow

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3brMhiLHs8

it's like a really thorough fusion of emo and alt-country which normally i'm like "no" but the songwriting here is incredible

new hotelier album out in may. last minute or so of that video is really nsfw

also i have heard the record and refuse to say anything about it :D

my friend just sent me an ep from this band called blessed state. it's from last year but it's pretty much all i want out of punk music, and would prob sit as well in the rolling punk thread as it does here https://blessedstatema.bandcamp.com/album/slipstream-ep

i think at this point the Pinegrove album is my favorite of the year. it delivers so much so effortlessly.

hmmm can this go here? i like these local kids. interesting cadences.

I mentioned it on the indie rock thread - delightfully J. Robbins-y

ah missed that!

fuck

Maybe my favorite emo-ish thing so far this year is the new album by Brightr, which I think is definitely emo despite mostly being just singing and an acoustic guitar.

whoops sorry

I am sick that a festival like that would never exist in the UK.

Really enjoying the Brightr album. It is so wide-eyed and summery. No weak tracks either - all completely infectiously upbeat.

I know nothing about Creeper at all, but I quite like this EP. Pitches somewhere between MCR and The Academy Is...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2b_NeMqVXBg&nohtml5=False

The new Modern Baseball is shaping up to be lovely too.

Trapped between this thread and the metal one, but the new Fall of Try album (which they've offered as a free download) rips. And the long break has made their vocalist 25% less grating.

Playlist updated for April.

the Basement record referenced at top of thread pretty much rules, afaic

I mean, they are the Yuck of 2016, but that is OK w/ me.

A friend of mine loves that record and pitched it to me sounding a lot like early Jimmy Eat World, but I don't hear it. Unless "early-Jimmy Eat World" is just code for 90s emo, and even as early as Static Prevails, Jimmy already sounded more ornate than most of those bands.

I should probably listen to Jimmy Eat World at some point. I only know The Middle and Lucky Denver Mint.

clarity, bleed american, and futures are basically ur-texts for almost anything that appears in this thread

also, simon: this fall of troy record is SICK

yeah there are a couple songs I don't care for but guitar wankery is rarely this FUN

i finally got around to the brightr album and i really like it!

Yeah, the Brightr album has remained a very nice listen for me. And it turns out the guy is from my hometown! I messaged him and he was very nice. There's a gig coming up this month that I'll likely go and see.

Looking forward to that FoT album though I only ever listened to the first really. I was always amazed that someone could sing and play guitar along such detached lines..

the new Pup is streaming at NPR and I have to say the prospect of them + Jeff Rosenstock at an all-ages show later this week has me pretty fucking stoked

i don't like pup at all musically but live they are incredible

oh also Speedy Ortiz/Hop Along tonight and Hotelier tomorrow!

Hotelier were great - felt lucky to catch them at this stage - but their openers. Loone and Todd Slant, were almost as good.

new thrice album is wild

new tiny moving parts album is easily their best

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZkp6K-PxGQ

hey i've never heard of this band before! their album is out the 10th? it sounds pretty great http://www.halfcloth.com/premiere-deer-leap-go-big-go-home/

So many big releases recently! Hotelier/Tiny Moving Parts/Pup/Into It. Over It...all excellent.

I tried the Thrice album, but haven't been able to get behind them since Vheissu. I much prefer when the emphasis is post-hardcore.

Not sure if this is really the right place for this, but The World is a Beautiful Place... released a great two-track single ('Long Live Happy Birthday') that's much darker than their previous album. 'Katamari Duquette' is like a condensed Silver Mt Zion song.

boys night out are putting out a new ep! this song sounds really good http://exclaim.ca/music/article/boys_night_out-obsequiarch

anyone in this thread who hasn't heard trainwreck i really recommend it

this album by posture & the grizzly (ugh what an awful band name), i am satan (ugh what a great album name) is pretty good! https://brokenworldmedia.bandcamp.com/album/i-am-satan

but honestly the best straight up emo/twinkle (ugh) (still) record i've heard so far this year is look mexico's uniola. out june 24th!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-1JnaT6G9w

^^^ check out that record imo

also there's a new taking back sunday album out in september! i feel weird posting the new song bc it is not remotely emo or pop-punk really

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_csSRZdo34g

i love it though, duh

just heard new blink album. it's... ok. the best parts are the parts that remind me of the older albums i like. kinda feeling like this is the year of disappointing warped tour band retreads and now i'm scared for new brand new :(

25 minutes! it's practically an EP and u kno how brad feels about EPs

I do not know...but I am sensing he is not a fan? They tried to make a full-length album, but their songs were just too cute.

i love eps!

almost none of the other albums in that list are pop-punk

In addition to most of Brad's list, the releases by the following are also really worth hearing:

Katie Ellen (of Chumped)
The World is a Beautiful Place...
Martha
TTNG
Brightr
PUP

(Sorry for no album names - walking)

The Joyce Manor is quite pop-punkish in parts.

xposts Oh yeah, forgot your love of Mesarthim. Does that thing Brand New did count as an EP?

imo yeah

Martha sounds great. This is the kind of thing I'm a mood for now.

i can't believe i'm seeing thursday AND dashboard confessional within the next month like wtf is it 2001 again??? am i 17 again!?!

So jealous.

I love emo but I don't really "get" JEW. (shrugs) "It Matters" is nice.

Rosentock and Joyce Manor are prob the albums I've listened to most this year in any genre

Gonna give the Look Mexico album a try, glad someone is keeping the "ridiculous song titles" aspect alive

That Look Mexico album is wonderful!! Can't remember if I've stressed my enthusiasm for it yet or not. That's top 5 emo of the year for me and favourite find itt.

for me JEW is almost exclusively about Bleed American

Understandable, though I think the entire Static Prevails/Clarity/Bleed American/Futures run is essential.

you're all wrong, every jimmy eat world album is at least good if not great

xxxxxxxxxxxxpost

the Smith Street Band is pretty good like emo version of Royal Headache

anyway, there's something kind of cool when you hear a song and you know they just wrote the song that will close their sets for as long as they are a band

don't sleep on the BASEMENT album it is nothing you haven't heard before but it is delicious

Thanks for mentioning this band, tangent. This is a fun video.

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

oh my god that is adorable

i can't believe i am forced to break my lengthy hiatus to be the first to mention the mighty Doe on this thread

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k906IGbSaFk

https://specialistsubject.bandcamp.com/album/first-four
https://specialistsubject.bandcamp.com/album/some-things-last-longer-than-you

Lol aaww that Martha video is too much!

Somehow completely missed Basement when I was mentioning albums yesterday despite having saved about five songs from it. It's really strong.

Been meaning to listen to Doe - thanks for the reminder!

guess who scored incredibly surprisingly well at the singles jukebox http://www.thesinglesjukebox.com/?p=22687

I love that song. This has been my most-played album the last two weeks.

That line “I know you wish for fireworks to light your July skies" has been hovering in my head too.

ayyyyee, this is one of thee indispensable threads on ILM, someone start 2017...

hotelier were fantastic live btw - even better than on the albums.

thursday of course was amazing.

ayyyyee, this is one of thee indispensable threads on ILM, someone start 2017...
