rolling emo/pop-punk/embarrassing music 2018

new Brian Fallon is out today, he's (unsurprisingly) gone even more retro and not really connected to anything even emo-adjacent at this point but it's not bad!

new Dashboard is out too for those so inclined. There's also an OK new Wonder Years single - album's out in April.

for those so inclined

don't mind if i do!

a little bit of awakebutstillinbed goes a long way but I've really been enjoying the album

Nice

I just listened to their whole album and really enjoyed it.

Everything in this thread is absolutely beautiful. Have been loving the Tiny Moving Parts, Closer, Jeff Rosenstock, Runaway Brother (who I'd never heard of before, so thank you Evan R), Senses Fail...all of it!

This is a really richly produced sort of emogaze by 'Snape', who don't seem to have released much else before this. The whole thing sounds great, but try track 5 for something instantly loveable.

Emo is sometimes a hard sell for me but pretty much every Snape track has me saying things like 'whoa, this is great!' or 'this sounds like Adam & Eve-era Catherine Wheel!' so yeah

Holy shit, the closing track!!!

the Dashboard Album is not good.

lol i like it. particularly "About Us" and the single ("Heart Beat Here"). a couple other tracks already growing on me.

has a few tracks I liked yeah but overall idk.

just noticed that the PBtT album is available as a $1-or-more digital download from Bandcamp, with a special offer:

From now until February 19th, all Bandcamp sales from Pianos Become The Teeth's 'Wait For Love' digital downloads will benefit The Choice Program at UMBC. Name your price and Epitaph will match half your amount.

more punk than pop-punk I suppose but the new Turnstile album slaps

the (likely excellent) new Camp Cope album is also up at NPR.

came here to post about the Camp Cope, I'm really liking this

it kinda peters out near the end, but the first half is very strong

Both those Turnstile and Camp Cope albums are exceptional; great week for new music

Listening to awakebutstillinbed on repeat tonight.

There's an appropriately somber Manchester Orchestra/Julien Baker collab single out today, I assume it's a one-off.

and I just figured out it's a Pedro the Lion cover

this Camp Cope album is pretty much the only thing I feel like playing these days

at work and tearing up listening to I've Got You, damn

Camp Cope man, what a stunner of an album. I'm gonna need to listen 50 more times to absorb everything

i like this https://gulfer.bandcamp.com/album/dog-bless

I've wishlisted that. I like the interplay between math-y clean-tone guitars and melodic emo vocals.

Black Foxxes is out today - I've loved all the advance tracks so I'm exxpecting great things

the black foxxes record is so good. "the big wild" is such a rich and varied song

The second single off the new Wonder Years is much nicer than the first!

yeah it's pretty good! I wish the mix breathed more though (this was my complaint about the last couple as well, sigh)

I know what you mean - I think that's definitely something that holds them back... Still, excited for the album a bit more now

Not sure this is quiiite the right place for this, but I think people here can hopefully appreciate it and idk where else to put it and it's AMAZING

love the extremely cure-ish guitar/synth counterpoint on this song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPMXOSv7FVE

TT that Ling Tosite Sigure record slaps and absolutely belongs here

one of my favorite recent punk bands just broke up but they put out one last record and it's the best thing they've ever done

whoa this album is unreal, thx brad!

i am extremely excited for the new underoath record even though the new songs are apparently really pissing off their fans lol. "on my teeth" reminds me of shining more than any previous underoath song, "rapture" sounds like something i'd hear in between three days grace and papa roach on the radio but it's still... real good imo

Still relistening to the Donovan Wolfington. it's really great, even the production/mixing is exceptional. honestly my only complaint is it's way too short, bittersweet note to go out on

That Gulfer LP has been a go-to for me the last couple of weeks. Thanks for the rec flopson

holy shit this Oceanator track is massive

Snail Mail's debut Lush is out this summer on Matador

https://www.npr.org/2018/03/21/592915364/songs-we-love-snail-mail-pristine

I really like the McCafferty record, Yarn, on first contact.

this isn't completely related to this thread except that it's kind of post-hardcore, but holy shit @ what the armed are doing on their new record

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdT1CxS7DEE

woah, I guess I need to check out their debut

this isn't the right thread for this either, but new petal album in june

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqw330UaXXc

new Wonder Years is a disappointment; the attempts to broaden their sound with keys and post-punk drums just flattens everything and the specificity is almost completely gone

that band fuckin sucks anyway

lol sorry that was a little ott

it's just over the course of their last... idk, 2-3 records they've just really proven themselves incapable of realizing any potential they might've had. i thought they were maybe going somewhere interesting on no closer to heaven but half of that record was just really poorly executed versions of their usual thing

all of their attempts to expand their sound feel really empty bc there's nothing in the songwriting to back it up

anyway i love the new sellout underoath record

attn new york emo ilxors

i don't think i can go to this and it's ruining my life

wow wish i still lived in NYC tbph so i could go to that

not emo exactly but related: laura stevenson is dropping an album tomorrow

which, thank god, i'm so happy

"just" a double a-side, as it turns out

https://laurastevenson.bandcamp.com/album/the-mystic-the-master

lol i wish spotify wouldn’t classify albums so broadly

still, psyched

well, those two laura stevenson songs are two of her very best, i’m very excited for a whole album to sound like them

lol i was trying to parse that sentence on the TBS poster, not knowing those were albums names. still kinda made sense in an engrish way

Frightening amount of all-time solid gold stuff available here PAY WHAT YOU WANT for this week:

Joyce Manor, mewithoutYou, so much goodness which you should already own...

Woah, good looking out

I'll leave it to brad to start the 2019 thread but the two new Mineral songs are great

kinda having thread-naming block but i'll start it soon
