re: Rosenstock, I'm just now hearing last year's Antarctigo Vespucci (his band with Chris Farren) and it's great.

new Terry Malts is great power-pop-punk
― na (NA), Monday, 24 October 2016 21:54 (seven years ago) link
Terry Malts rules so hard.
I'd not heard Kevin Devine before this new one, but it's great.
Thanks for the Rosenstock d/l link up there. We Cool? ended up in my Top 10 of '16. Excited to hear the new one.
OK, this has been my Rolling Emo Thread roundup.

he released two albums simultaneously in '14, Bubblegum and Bulldozer, both great, esp the former.

never listened to that band before but they're singlehandedly responsible for all the delightful garbage australians who attended fest this year and drank shots out of their shoes

How did I miss the Tender Defender EP that came out this year? If you miss Latterman at all, this EP is for you.

holy shit, the new trust fund
if you raised belle & sebastian on a diet of emo and told them to write a bunch of 2-minute songs, the results couldn't have been much lovelier

the new owel is really really good and pretty different from the last record

has anyone seen Appleseed Cast live recently? I want to see them but they're opening for Caspian (who seem like pleasantly average post-rock) and I'm not sure if it's worth only catching them in an opening slot.
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Saturday, 12 November 2016 16:43 (seven years ago) link
i've never seen them live lol
oh here's my favorite song from the owel record

It's good!
More on a punk/post-punk tip but might appeal to emo folk: really enjoying the Super Unison album atm

I just listened to the Rosenstock for the first time today and I'm bit blown away. I'm looking forward to digging into it.
― jmm, Thursday, 8 December 2016 23:55 (seven years ago) link
yeah he totally rules. especially if you're old like me.
we cool? is basically perfect. haven't made it all the way thru Worry yet
― alpine static, Thursday, 8 December 2016 23:57 (seven years ago) link
Listening to the end really pays off. It closes with a fantastic medley of short songs.
I can already see myself memorizing all of the lyrics on this.
― jmm, Friday, 9 December 2016 00:49 (seven years ago) link
I edited the medley into one track and use it for exercise and general uplift, it is the greatest inspiration ever

boys night out's black dogs should be somewhere in the middle of that list even though it's only an ep

i really like that trust fund album surprised u don't rate it.
i know collusion is frowned upon but let's all stan hard for the rosenstock on the year old poll

i don't think i ever heard the trust fund record

Which are the more pop-punk albums in that list? I've only heard the Rosenstock.
― jmm, Friday, 9 December 2016 17:33 (seven years ago) link
It's only about 25 minutes long, but it's lovely! They really upped their game this year.
Also here to echo what you're all saying about the new Into It. Over It. They nail their sentimental atmospheres in every song. None of it is filler.
― dance band (tangenttangent), Friday, 9 December 2016 17:36 (seven years ago) link
25 minutes! it's practically an EP and u kno how brad feels about EPs
― Mordy, Friday, 9 December 2016 17:43 (seven years ago) link
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.
― dance band (tangenttangent), Friday, 9 December 2016 17:52 (seven years ago) link
i love eps!
― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Friday, 9 December 2016 17:56 (seven years ago) link
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...MarthaTTNGBrightrPUP
(Sorry for no album names - walking)
― dance band (tangenttangent), Friday, 9 December 2016 17:57 (seven years ago) link
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?
