Emo

Recently we caught Jimmy Eat World on tour and we were pleased with how much energy they still had. While the band has announced their eleventh album Surviving, the first two singles from it expand on their already catchy sound. Without changing direction, the four piece sounds fresher than they have in years on the...More Please

We stumble on to bands sometimes with the help of our friends. One friend suggested we check out a UK band called Don’t Worry, and boy are we glad it was suggested. We weren’t a magazine when they dropped their last album Who Cares Anyway? but it’s easily become one of our favorites currently out...More Please

It’s been almost five years since we heard a peep out of emo group The Appleseed Cast. However the band appears to be back in full force with a new album called The Fleeting Light of Impermanence due later this month. What’s most intriguing about the two new singles the Kansas quartet have dropped ahead...More Please

The Get Up Kids Expand Their Sound on New Single

When bands break up and reform, the best way for them to continue on is to grow their sound. Sure, we all want to hear our favorite songs-but as history has proved time and time again-you can’t go home again. With their second single “The Problem Is Me” from their first full length in eight...More Please

With Debut Single, Trembler Comes in Hot

For some reason, the south has always had a pretty solid amount of emo touched punk music. Maybe it’s the stifling manner of the fact that all of the creatives are open-minded in a part of the country that’s run by the closed minded. That’s what it feels like in places like Houston where the...More Please

On LP 3, American Football Expands Their Sound For the Better

American Football Emo Indie Rock

by David Garrick

When nineties emo core happened, it happened pretty quickly and was over almost as soon as it began. Over the years, we’ve been lucky to see many of the bands that made up the genre return to releasing new music and touring regularly. The smarter ones realized that they could grow and expand their sounds...More Please

American Football Emo

by David Garrick

0 Comments

When American Football dropped their debut album, it wasn’t the biggest release of that year by far, but still one of the most notable ones. Over the years as the mythos and fandom around the album grew, no one ever thought that the band would return to touring or much less, releasing new music. When...More Please

Watch The Get Up Kids Return in Video for “Satellite”

Last year when the Kicker E.P. from The Get Up Kids came out, we were impressed how it sounded like the band without being too nostalgic. Now ahead of their new album Problems coming in May, the Kansas City emo band is back with a new track and a new video for the song “Satellite,”...More Please

New Screamo Featuring Members of Football, etc. & Rose Ette? Yes, Please

We often wonder, can you really trust an artist today that’s not playing in multiple projects? Down in Houston it seems that many or the musicians have the ability to link up and form new projects, so it’s not uncommon to see multiple bands made up of the same people intertwined. We heard kind of...More Please

Emo Groundhog Day Punk

by David Garrick

For a long time now, we’ve seen traditional emo and punk criss cross lines where they’re essentially the same thing. Few bands can meld the two together where you can tell the difference, though Houston’s Groundhog Day seem to have figured out how to do just that. On their debut full length, The Worst It’s...More Please

Minnesota trio Tiny Moving Parts has been making emo music for a minute now, and been nailing the scream heavy side of the genre in the process. Now with a new two song release, they give fans a new video for one of the songs, and prove they’re still at the top of their game....More Please

It’s no secret that Radar State, the new band featuring members of The Get Up Kids, The Anniversary and The Architects are a thing. What you may not know is that they have a new album, Strays out on January 11 and the first two singles are definitely worth hearing. The first single, “Strays” has...More Please

Mineral Offers Up New Sounds on Second Track From New Book

Austin’s Mineral seemed to have epic myths spun about them in the years that they were absent from performing and even being seen in public together as a unit. Though the band’s two albums were a part of many of our youths, hearing anything new from the four piece is something that should be met...More Please

The Latest Single From Norway’s Spielbergs is Pretty Excellent

Norway trio Spielbergs got on our radar in April when they dropped their energetic and frenzied Distant Star E.P. In so many ways, they reminded us of nineties bands like Seam, Nation of Ulysses and even In On The Kill Taker era Fugazi. Now, less than a year later, the three piece is back with...More Please

Groundhog Day Drops Video for Latest Single

Houston’s Groundhog Day may have formed out of the ashes of two other bands, but the energy and intensity of the emo tinged sound is hard not to like. With their album due in the first part of next year, the four piece recently dropped a new song and video for “Ceiling Web” and both...More Please

Emo Punk Ruiners

If you dig deep enough into the emo core of the mid-nineties, you’ll certainly tread past bands like Fugazi and Drive Like Jehu, into the depths of bands like Unwound and June of 44. While none of these were as big as some of the bands who used the emo tag later on, their intense...More Please

Mineral Drops a Stunning New Song

Time moves quick in some ways, for Austin’s Mineral, it can move at whatever pace they want it to. Since reuniting in 2014, the four piece has continued to surprise us all at whatever they put into motion. So it shouldn’t be too shocking that in celebration of 25 years they have a new book,...More Please

You Should Check Out Groundhog Day

There are more than enough bands with the name Groundhog Day, though the four piece from Houston could be our favorite of all time. On their debut single “Mokumentary,” their fevered stride and intense energy comes through on each and every note. To be fair, every one of the members of this band are from...More Please

Basement is Definitely Here on Latest Release

The first time we heard U.K. five piece Basement, we were pretty impressed by their emo influenced sound. Over the years, they’ve grown their sound, though on their latest, they take all of that growth and come full swing. Be Here Now has so much solid production and strong songwriter skills, that it’s hard to...More Please

Basement Return Ready To Rule

The feeling that good music is good music means that anyone by any age should recognize good music when they hear it. The English five piece Basement has always made good music, and their latest tracks from their upcoming release Beside Myself just proves they should keep the good music coming. On “Disconnect” the band...More Please
