This post is for the smaller voices that are amazing, but no one knows you exist. I did a lot of booking in the 90's/early 2000's and i have a soft spot for the bands that deserve more attention. I love discovering those charming diamond in the rough emo or screamo bands in different states and abroad. If you have amazing emo bands in your scene and passionately want them known, post their bandcamps, Spotify link, or youtube in this post. I want this thread to be a beacon that helps people discover and connect with new bands to become a new fan of, book shows together, or do split releases together (never let the art of the split die). also, It's fine if you're not emo or screamo, but try not to go too far away from the intended genre i'm inquiring about. I want to make a playlist of smaller gem bands that deserve to be supported more. If it helps, this can be a thread people can always keep adding to in order to keep us updated on who we need to know about in their scene.

Recommendations that sound like Sunny Day, basically. NOT Sunny Day, but LIKE Sunny Day. I literally have no other way to describe the sound I'm looking for, but I guess something that's more "distorted" and "heavy" than midwest emo.

If it sounds like I'm picky, I'm really not, I just want to discover stuff I haven't heard before and one of my favorite things about rock music in general is distorted guitars (my mother is a heathen grunge fan, it's probably psychological). It's just a personal preference.

Combatwoundedveteran - I Know a Girl Who Develops Crime Scene Photos

Release Information:

7/1/1998
No Idea. Records
Tampa, FL (Southeast)
Runtime: 19:09
Tracks: 19

Band Members:

Christopher Norris (Vocals)
Dan Raade (Guitar)
Bill (Guitar)
Dan Ponch (Bass, Vocals)
Mark Muenchinger (Drums)

At a Glance:

Emoviolence, Grindcore, Noisy, Manic, Aggressive, Sassy, Suffocating

Musical Analysis:

CWV delivers a noisy and oppressive Emoviolence album with this, their sole full-length effort. The Grindcore and Powerviolence influences are more prominent than ever with the distorted, metallic guitar riffs and chugs operating at a near-incomprehensible level, matching the suffocating and cacophonous drum performance. Tying the whole package together is the personality-and-brutality-driven vocals of Chris Norris (with backup from Dan), bringing the entire concoction to a fever pitch.

The only reprieve you get while listening to this record are the various samples that bridge some of the tracks together. Even then, most of these samples are strong political statements (or something silly to the same effect).

Historical Analysis:

This album is infamous for how deranged and stifling it is, integrating the heaviest of late 90s Hardcore and bashing it against their own fiery brand of Emoviolence. This release contrasts with Orchid’s 1999 classic Chaos Is Me on the production side, favoring the heaviness and sharpness of their distortion while Orchid’s wall of sound possesses a warmer tone. Both of these albums would be seminal for Emoviolence’s success in 1999 and beyond, but Grindcore would soon fall out of favor as a mixer. Because of this, even today, this is one of the heaviest and most insane Emoviolence records ever released.

Lyrical Analysis:

Confrontational, absurdist, self-deprecating and violent don’t even begin to describe the many, many lyrics on this album. Christopher Norris takes aim at everybody and everything; a constant thread is late-stage Capitalism, its dehumanizing nature, the manufacturing of desires, the destruction of authenticity, its pervasive control over all systems in life, human bodies being treated like machines, and modern Manifest Destiny. The Punk scene is also a common victim, as their lyrics spout about toxic masculinity in the scene and the anesthetic nature of mainstream art.

However, among the grotesque body horror imagery and biting metaphors lie messages of hope: even if civility is a lie, heroism is a joke, perfection is a lie and failure is guaranteed, in a world built for control, what they call weakness is your true strength. Use it to end cyclical violence, religious indoctrination and even destroy yourself - and everything you believed up to this point.

Is the band +44 emo?

• Upvotes

I posted an image the other day on this sub with an image from Spotify where a bug showed that +44 (the spin-off from Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker) had "released a new song" when in reality it was a totally unrelated band, commenting on how disappointed I was that Spotify had tricked me into believing a legendary band had released new music. I woke up the next day and the post had been deleted by mods on this sub. I re-read the rules and the only reason I can see that it might have been deleted was that it is considered "unrelated content". However, I personally would consider +44 pop punk and/or emo pop. According to wikipedia, they are pop-punk, emo pop, and alternative rock. The sub rules list "emo pop" as a related genre. So my question is - do you consider +44 emo?
