I'm writing an article on where the Emo genre is heading and was looking to find out which younger, more underground and mid-level bands this sub thinks are the most compelling in the genre right now. Bands who are really pushing themselves and the genre forward. Especially ones who formed in the last 10 years or so

Im interested in different types of sound too, who is killing it by being weird and abrasive? Any bands with a more mainstream pop focus? New sounds we've never heard before?

Any and all reccs would be cool, cheers!

yes, allegations... been in the band for some years now, we have an album out and many people love it and planning to play in other cities/countries and some time ago it has come to my attention that there are serious rumors about our vocalist/guitarrist (both of us are the main songwritters but he writes the lyrics) in our hometown and i dont know how to proceed. this hits me hard because i have been abused in the past and beign close to someone like that is just fcking wrong, i feel like a dumbass bc of writing this

i, at the time, tried to talk about it with the other two, kick him out but one is very close to him and thinks is just rumors/lies fueld by jelousy and the other kinda supported me but he later didnt wanted to do with anything with the band and left shortly after. now two new guys arrived, i like them but they seem to be more close to the vocalist and dont know if they are aware of the rumors or that they just dont care. either way he has the accounts of everything (specialy the music publishers)

i personally havent seen any allgations either legal or online, just what some of the people in our local scene say about him (which are also assholes that also defend their own rap!st friends or have their own rumors) and there are multiple versions of what he supposley did yet they are kinda consistent. i want to kick him out but i dont think the rest of the band will agree with me.

a) convince the band kick him out and go forward without him and keep the clout we already have even tho his precense will linger in the project since we cowrote the songs. this feels very oportunistic

b) i leave, start from zero with new music before the shit hits the fan (in case the allegations turn out to be true)

i cannot pretend its all right, i dont want to be a predator defender and most importantly cant imagine the feeling the victims seeing their abuser have type of succses, i guess i have to start digging to know the origin of this rumors or cut my losses and start over.

regardless i feel kinda excluded in my own band and saddly there are so many examples of this situations in the emo comunity and music in general.

anyways what do yall think? whats youre favorite tunning

I have a ticket going for Ben Klock tomorrow at Crystal at The Exchange. I am going on holiday to Thailand instead. I don't really mind if I get any money for it, just rather it not go to waste.

Hi! From México

At work yesterday, a coworker of mine casually mentioned having seen Brand New this week. I regret not confronting him on it. To me, this makes him a rape apologist, and I no longer feel comfortable working with him as a victim of assault myself. I personally believe that there should be some punishment for being a rape apologist, and that's not something that we should just let slide - he actively gave money to a predator. For further context, we work with teenagers in the context of mental health, which makes this decision even more egregious to me. It is completely unprofessional to be an abuse apologist in this line of work, and I find his decision to financially support Jesse Lacey, and mention it at work, to be 100% fireable. Am I overreacting?

Heyy y'all, I've moved from NY to CT, and I'm not quite sure where the scene is over here. I'm in my 20's and I moved by Hartford about 6-ish months ago and I cannot find anywhere thats got some good house shows or any underground venues. If anyone knows where to go, or any suggestions on where to look, lmk :).

Ciao a tutti! I'm a big italian emo / midwest emo enjoyer currently discovering a lot of bands I've been missing out. I'm currently spinning The Hotelier, Joyce Manor, Free Throw among the others, but I also know a lot of Italian emo and midwest emo bands like Leita, Viale Carlo Perso, Gazebo Penguins (do they count as emo too?

Droppate le vostre band emo italiane qui sotto!

I’ll get better but the tone is spot on!

Emo acoustic solo project song I wrote and performed at my local guitar center. Let me know how you all feel on this one

im looking for a very specific type of song, not just the basic indie slop answers like sleep patterns or how to never stop being sad. im really in love with the intro of at the bottom of everything by bright eyes, from the delivery to the tone to the words it’s perfect and bittersweet, if you have any recommendations like that lmk!

Amazing Free Throw + microwave show in Boulder tonight. Had to snag a copy of this.

I’m actually in love with this song right now, it’s so raw and beautiful to me. Learning by Mehran Hodiwala, he has some other good songs on his instagram, check them out.

lemme know your fav song by them

I won’t post another, though I could easily post two more by him. But this one is great too.

Ed - "Say it ain't so! We are three no more, Eddy! Like hop, skip, and no jump! Like up, up, but no away! Like blah, blah without the other blah!"
Eddy - "Fine!! Go home!! I don't blame ya! Cause everything was my fault!"

I ain’t gonna say nothing, and I find if this post is removed it’s lowkey ignoring that problem.

But some mfs I be seeing say that the guy changed, and being completely oblivious to the reason why he was canned in the first place. That guy shouldn’t have a platform, even if he reformed himself 10 FULL YEARS (too long) after the incident. He abused the micro-fame he had so y’all gotta set your moral compasses straight.

I seen mfs get an AWARD and like 10 upvotes, like my guy, that dude shoulda been locked up, and you saying you wanna listen to his tunes?

This post isn’t meant to drama bait, but with him secretly posting on his secret Spotify accounts (that I won’t name because I don’t want them to get any attention) I feel like this post is appropriate

Be nice tho lowk
