I didn't hate that Spin list. Maybe 1 album per band would have helped a touch, especially when it's 30. Weird to exclude Waxahatchee but not Swearin.' Feel like that first Waxahatchee record is more suitably emo.

Is there a rolling punk thread this year?
I Hate Sex have some screamo qualities so I guess they're ok here.

I was just asking off-board about the "rolling punk/non-indie underground" threads, which seem to have stopped in 2015?

the Tigers Jaw record is boringly pleasant yet pleasantly boring?
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 21 June 2017 19:15 (six years ago) link
also *really* enjoying the Mystery Weekend record - full of fun little twists and turns crammed into 26 mins. I knew I recognized the singer, took me a minute to realize it was the Protest the Hero guy!

tigers jaw are generally pleasantly boring. they almost get there every time. great musicians though
new manchester orchestra record might be my aoty? best rock band in the world right now especially since brand new are like never going to release another record

yeah i like that song! kinda interested if it'll diverge from peripheral vision more than that
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 22 June 2017 20:14 (six years ago) link
I'm sort of obsessed with "Change Irreversible" and this sounds totally in that ballpark so I'm pleased
both manorch (love that shorthand) singles are really really nice
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 22 June 2017 20:20 (six years ago) link
I'm not sure where to put this song--I get a Weakerthans vibe from the lyrics (emo?), and they're on SideOne Dummy (pop/punk?)--so I'm putting it here. Point is, I'm loving it.

They opened for Beach Slang a couple of years ago. I liked their 2015 album Imaginary Life quite a bit. "Plans" is great. If this is an indication of where they're going with their sound, I'm in.

so Creeper's Eternity, In Your Arms is basically the UK response to The Black Parade huh
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Tuesday, 27 June 2017 08:18 (six years ago) link
oh shit i finally got around to listening to that creeper record and imo this is the record that comes closest to collapsing the pop-punk/glam metal dichotomy, it's so ambitious and embarrassing. i LOVE it
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 6 July 2017 20:46 (six years ago) link
hahaha I was hoping you'd be into it!

their economy is really impressive!
oh thank god i'm not the only person who likes that album i'm not totally crazy

I'm listening to this again and at least 20 bands have sprung to mind over the first 5 tracks, it's really something
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 6 July 2017 21:06 (six years ago) link
sorta wish the record had mcr-quality sharpness in its production, it's real foggy sounding, but that's my only complaint so far
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 6 July 2017 21:21 (six years ago) link
has anyone heard this record from 2011? would've been a good fit in our emo poll tbh

someone posted it in the manchester orchestra thread on chorus.fm
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Friday, 7 July 2017 15:55 (six years ago) link
the opening track on the Turtlenecked record really reminds me of Say Anything

absolutely loving the Katie Ellen record (also x-posted to the twee thread)

saw Turtlenecked the other night...they're like Weezer meets Of Montreal or something? or is that insane?
they were good. singing drummer!

i've been enjoying the new s/t album from The Life and Times:
https://thelifeandtimes.bandcamp.com/album/the-life-and-times
that's Allen Epley from Shiner plus a couple other dudes. shimmering guitar-rock that's shoegazey at times. think it sorta fits in this thread.

yeah I have never cared about Cancer Bats but I am excited for this development
can Kathleen Edwards come back and front NOFX?

thanks simon, have only heard one of those (sorority noise).
― Spottie, Thursday, 27 July 2017 23:46 (six years ago) link
oh shit I forgot Smith St Band but I assume y'all have already heard that
that said, so far none of these are EOY list contenders save for Sorority Noise and maybe Katie Ellen
