Emo Revival/Midwest Emo

Sure, i've listened to about a third of those bands, Cap'n Jazz and Pianos become the Teeth being my favorite there. My favorite group in that scene is TWIABPAIANLATD, though.

Since you got Pianos become the Teeth on there, i'd also include some screamo groups like Orchid, Saetia, More Than Life and Hot Cross.

Big fan of MCR and Pierce the Veil as well, as a side note. Nothing wrong with those groups, they've both put out some solid music.

Glad to see some love for emo still out there, I felt like the odd one out on here. I listen to all of the ones you listed with the exception of like 3 or 4. Kind of wish I lived up north because I'd kill to see Oso Oso live. Do any of you lads listen to The Hotelier? Home, Like Noplace Is There is one of only two albums I'd give a 9/10 or higher too.

As for ones you didn't mention, I'll throw in a few more recent bands on the come-up that are worth noting.

Turnover
Father Mountain
Grandview
Everyone Everywhere
Basement

I also think Modern Baseball has potential to be really good if they can make more tracks that are on par with Hiding.

Oh right, The World Is A Beautiful Place And I Am No Longer Afraid To Die too. They're so good, they really revive the emo out there. Cap'n Jazz is going to return, have you heard?

Among the ones you mentioned, I only know Orchid. I'll definitely check the other two out!

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against MCR and PTV (I grew with them). Just making sure to differentiate the emo I'm talking about. :>

I've heard Basement, really liked the Colourmeinkindness album, though i haven't heard any of the others. I've only listened to a couple Hotelier songs, though i've heard nothing but good things about them so i really should check them out.

A couple of other good bands i forgot to put before would be Tiny Moving Parts and Brave Bird, both great bands in the emo/indie genre. Tiny Moving Parts also have a lot of Math Rock influence in their stuff.

Volunteer said:


Hell yeah. Brave Bird is a guilty pleasure of mine and I still listen to Maybe You, No One Else Worth It every so often. The vocals are silly and their lyrics are a tad juvenile, but it's comfy sad music. I could never really get into Tiny Moving Parts though. Any standout tracks I should give a try?

I've never got into Midwest Emo or related but lately I met a few ones that sounds really good.

Basement
Everyone Everywhere
Free Throw
Hightide Hotel
Panucci's Pizza
Touché Amoré
Turnover

And of course American Football, their self-title album is gold.

edit: I knew I was forgetting another good one; Balance and Composure.

qdgyu said:
Did you ever hear Brave bird's last album T​-​Minus Grand Gesture? It's also pretty good. As for Tiny Moving Parts, I would say the songs Always Focused and Clouds Above my Head are a couple god ones, if you like those you'd probably enjoy their general sound.

I love the stuff on occasion but have trouble finding bands that I can really get into. I'm only really know about bands like
American Football
The Saddest Landscape
Pianos Become The Teeth
Touché Amoré

One of my favs not named yet is Circle Takes The Square.

Does nothing.nowhere count with his odd fusion sound ? It strangely works

I randomly found a band I really like just now and it wasn't listed here. I'm not sure it would fit here or if I should put it in the back metal thread since it's this crazy mix of Screamo and Black Metal and Post-Rock but We Came Out Like Tigers is pretty good.

qdgyu said:
Just checked out We Came Out Like Tigers, they got a cool mix of post rock, black metal and screamo going on. They use the Violin really well, doesn't feel like it's just thrown in for the sake of mixing it up instrumentally.

traed said:

Too bad they broke up. I always find out about bands only after they've disbanded lol There are other bands that are similar blend but I havent found any others as good of a balance.

qdgyu said:


It's not quite the same, but I would suggest checking out The Elijah. They mix Post-Rock and ambient with Post-hardcore and Emo. For a good idea on their sound look into I Created, Admit Defeat, and I Hated, you may like them. Sadly they are also broken up :(

Not crazy for Emo but I love myself some Pianos Become the Teeth, if I may enlighten you to "Emocrust" done by the UK band Morrow who released a phenomenal album last year, mixture of Crust Punk with Emo and Post-Metal, you can check it out here

traed said:

I like it but I don't exactly get where the emo is unless it's referencing the sceamo because one of the vocalists does have a screamo style.

Aidoru-Ojisan said:

I believe it's the "emotion" that can be felt behind the music that gives it the emo tag :p, but yeah one of the vocalist does have more of a screamo style of vocals rather than an Emo one but eh it's a good album but it focuses more on the "Crust Punk" vocals over the Emo ones, you got to other bands that do "Emo Crust" as well
