rolling emo/pop-punk/embarrassing music 2018

Oh that's weird, last time I was at my parents' house I took back The Satellite Years CD that I bought when I was young because I couldn't remember what the hell it was. It holds up quite well I think despite the post-rock and 'core elements jarring a bit at times.

Neither of those new songs do much for me but it's nice they're still around!

new Oso Oso single and b-side are great!

foxing is back

Wow, great song.

It sounds like... Postal Service? Not bad, mind.

New interview/feature in Stereogum makes it sound like quite something.

While the title track and “Bastardizer” are laser-lit, howl-and-point anthems that could conceivably elevate them to the status of alt-emo festival staples like Manchester Orchestra, Circa Survive, and pre-downfall Brand New — all of whom they’ve opened for — there’s not much contemporary comparison to the nine-minute ambient odyssey “Five Cups” or the IDM-goes-post-hardcore frenzy of “Gameshark” or “Heartbeats” merging swirling house rhythms with atmospheric post-rock guitars.

pre-downfall Brand New

certainly a way to put this

psyched for the record though, it is getting majorly hyped

though usually the records that ian really enthusiastically hypes i end up being pretty cool on (ex. harmlessness, goodness, surprised the foxing record doesn't end in "ness")

fuck that was for the world cup thread lol

that *is* exactly how i feel whenever i read things about the new foxing record so

also lol @ the bit about Chris Walla getting mad at them over the bagpipes

the new restorations record is outstanding!!! riyl: the gaslight anthem but powered by emo

out in september

hearing both the national and the weakerthans in it too. it's awesome

oooh always dug these dudes but haven't heard much from them for a while

This sounds about perfect for me

i don't really know how to judge self defense family records but this seems pretty excellent

way cool

I have listened to "Slapstick" way too often for the Foxing album to be two godddamn months away

it's an incredible song

the new Mom Jeans songs are really fun, and they're touring w/ awakebutstillinbed so I might have to go see that

simon have you checked out that restorations song. idk why i think you'd like it but

I did! I like it!

hell yeah

They must have multiple vocalists? The guy on "Wales" is a dead ringer for Bry Webb.

i think it's all the one dude

but then i've only just gotten into this band with the new record lol

yeah it's the same guy! he has a bizarre range; there are moments on the new record where he sounds like matt berninger and gord downie combined

super weird, also made me realize I really miss the constantines

also checking out the Just Friends album since they're on the Mom Jeans/awake... show and WHAT IS THIS

like, Jeff Rosenstock meets the Go! Team with the occasional dash of pop and soul? and rapping?

made me realize I really miss the constantines

otm

For anyone interested, this excellent live Restorations set features most of their best older tunes plus provides a great view of their instrumentation (incl. one main vocalist, two backing, & drummer making drummer faces).

despite really liking the band I've never been able to shake the view that they basically come off like a bunch of dads who bought cool equipment with money from their day jobs and somehow made v good grownup dad-indie rock

sounds about right tbh

i wish i had known about lp3 when it came out, would've been totally obsessed with it

at least i'm totally obsessed with it now

lol @ the title of their new album

here's some good straight up rolling emo: the new album by charmer https://charmermusic.bandcamp.com/album/charmer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ug4QxIAfkms

though it largely just makes me wish that look mexico would make another album tbh

despite really liking the band I've never been able to shake the view that they basically come off like a bunch of dads who bought cool equipment with money from their day jobs and somehow made v good grownup dad-indie rock

is this supposed to be ... bad?

Lol no just an observation

this foxing song sounds nothing like brand new to me, but it's pretty solid

Speaking of Weakerthans, did anyone hear the solo record from John? I think the weakerthans disbanded awhile back

winter wheat? it's great

Winter Wheat is wonderful. Samson is a terrific lyricist.

Digging that Charmer record. Good looking out. Really does scratch a very specific itch.

john's put out TWO solo records guys!

the first one is less good than winter wheat iirc

maaaybe less emo than before (hence why I bumped the indiepop thread initially) but the new Trust Fund is so good https://trustfund.bandcamp.com
