The new FOXING tune is gorgeous. You have to solve a puzzle to get to it. Totes worth it.

Stuck on the first ‘ritual’. Livid

Are you doing it on mobile? It didn’t (really) work on mobile, but just tried it on my laptop and it made more sense. That said, I did know what I was meant to be doing, too.

Start with “W” and go from there.

Fresh have dropped a track and the bouncy guitars in it are very fun and good.

Ah, Fresh are pals. Great to see them getting repped here :slight_smile: Anyone who likes this should check out their last album Withdraw, too. The guitarist who joined them for it really took their songs up a notch imo

They are also pals of mine. Myles is a wonderful person and Me Rex are also very good.

Anyone into American Football-y emo might like these guys who I’ve been listening to a bit recently. There’s even a bit of Sufjan Stevens experimentation going on.

I really don’t think they sound like AF, they just have a trumpet and sad parts. But that’s just my onion.

Yeah your onions are probably right. I just mentally tend to lump all trumpetmo stuff into “Oh, they’re doing American Football are they”

I read an interview with one of them yesterday where they said “I’ve only listened to one American Football song in my life”. :smiley:

Excellent debut Ep from En Garde - loads of energy, bit of guitar noodling, strong vocal, nothing not to love - 2 guys, one from Annabel and one from Voice Like Rhetoric (both excellent bands - Annabel being more midwest emo / Voice Like Rhetoric a bit more post hardcore)

The new Citizen album is working for me.

Liking this new one from Origami Angel

Quite standard emo/pop-punk fare to start with a nice shift to hardcore in the last minute. Might be jarring for some but I liked it

Very fun song. Crams more ideas into its runtime than most emo bands have in their entire careers. Apparently their new album is an emo double-album. A rarity!

On an emo-adjacent note i recently discovered this:

Great song.

I really like it, probably the first full album by them that I’ve been into. Interestingly a few of my friends who liked the first few albums have been massively switched off by this.

Yeah looking forward to it. Had a listen to their last album off the back of this and it was okay, nothing major - seems this is a bit of a step up so hopeful for the album

I liked a few songs off the last one but ultimately it ended up giving me a headache. Hopefully no migraines with the new 'un.

New Free Throw album in June
