rolling emo/pop-punk/cats 2016

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 :(

new useless id album out today too

Haven't really been blown away by anything yet this year, the Hotelier album was nice?

the new johnny foreigner is great, among their best. i never know if they really fit in this thread but

^ This is so cute, I like it a lot.

I couldn't make it through the new Blink, but I'm still holding out hopes of Brand New being decent based on the strength of the single.

I'm starting my half year music audit tonight so I might scrape together a little EOTY playlist so it doesn't all get lost.

also I agree that the new blink is...fine

I had forgotten about the new Somos album, which is really quite nice. They're evidently huge Braid fans.

the new boys night out ep is amazing http://www.altpress.com/features/entry/boys_night_out_premiere_powerful_comeback_ep_black_dogs_exclusive

^ Still need to listen to this.

Aaaah the new TTNG (formerly This Town Needs Guns...can see why that was changed...) is great! Lovely math-y emo. Is this what twinkle is? Anyway, it's amazing.

yeah! I still need to listen to that record

the last ttng record was unfortunately kinda the perfect example of "this is impressive, but the songs aren't really there." i still liked it and i'm looking forward to the new one

I'd never heard them before, but I'm so impressed. They're kind of like an understated Youthmovies, but more midwest. (But from Oxford). Bliss Quest and Destroy the Tabernacle! are standouts for me from the album.

Playlist is updated with about an hour of music.

Your playlists make my working life about 80% happier. Whilst the challenge of back-listening to 2015 became insurmountable for me, I've listened to almost everything on the new ones all year. Thank you for this great work!

thanks, it's appreciated. I'm still working '15 with some glee.

hoo boy this is pretty great. circa survive/mars volta vibes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUCRIt5JiVU

Oh, and the new Beach Slang has 10 new Beach Slang songs on it.

no way

Omg it's new CHUMPED (sort of)

Need to catch up on this thread

yessss new Jeff Rosenstock!

https://jeffrosenstock.bandcamp.com/album/worry

If you took the 5 or 6 best songs from this year's and last year's Dear Hunter albums you'd have a fine proggy pop-emo album, alas restraint and concision are categorically not This Guy's Thing. Anyway, the new one has a better hit:miss ratio than last year's due to having fewer corny vaudevillian story-advancing numbers

new Kevin Devine sounds on par with Bubblegum, which is a v good thing

the new joyce manor record is so awesome. pushes their sound in all the right ways

I was just about to say something about that but I didn't want to have four posts in a row lol, I wish it were twice as long but I appreciate the care obviously taken to cram in as many awesome little harmonic details as possible

hearing nate ruess on "angel in the snow" is wild

although none of the pre-release singles have really grabbed me i've only heard great things about the new american football record aka emo revival come full circle

I like it a lot!

missing Joyce / Hotelier / Crying tonight and am v sad about it

the new joyce manor record is so awesome

Yes, good stuff.
