To me, greatest hits was...distinct is maybe the word I’m looking for. New LP is just...kind of bland. It’s got some riffs and good songs, it’s certainly not bad but I’ve never seen anyone outside of here say that the new one is better. Seems like a number of bands could have released it as opposed to Greatest Hits being clearly Remo Drive

 

Six Australian Emo Bands You Need To Know In 2020

All of these bands are good and the list includes Sports Bra who are fucking incredible

 

CERES

 

That’s always been a problem in the punk community and I reckon it’s become even worse now in the streaming era with so much music at people’s fingertips - if an album doesn’t hook you by the third song it’s so easy to just forget about it and move on to the next thing on the list, which is probably going to sound like what you’re already familiar with. Feels like there’s just a lot less ’space’ now for music that’s challenging to people.

 

Yeah this is how I feel. I don't mind bands trying less immediate and less pop-punky stuff, in fact I'm totally up for that, but I just found that last record had nothing that interested me bar like two songs.

I should go back to it though, maybe I'll do that again.

 

Started slowly going through this list, and holy shit Ceres are brilliant.

Collarbone, 2011 is an absolute bop.

 

finally got around to this and ya this is the vibe. Most people should be checking this out

 

My favorite emo album of last year.

 

this is so good/extremely my shit

 

Any of you listen to Coletta? They're doing really interesting things IMO. It's like early 2000's post-hardcore with math rock and hip-hop elements.

 

yeah this one is incredible

 

I wasn’t paying attention and thought the new Worst Party Ever was an LP but alas it’s not. Really solid EP!

 

Really liking what I’ve heard from addy and Crisman, couple those with the new Ratboys album and Topshelf is having a killer start to 2020.

On an unrelated note, I’m surprised more people aren’t hyping this very excellent new Church Girls record.

 

Loved the Church Girls album. Gave me Pity Sex vibes.

 

Church girls is so good, but I think part of it might be that they’re not on chatter bot anymore. Also really enjoying the new topshelf signings

 

alexander - wonderland

was this posted? completely missed it last friday, loving it. slightly more expanded sound than their last.

 

I think @yung_ting posted it. It rules! I've been listening all morning

 

of course they did!

 

discovered the singer of Weed’s new band last night and it’s one of the best things I’ve heard in a while. nothing on streaming but all three releases are uploaded to YouTube/shared by the band, let me know if anybody wants a zip!
riyl: Ovlov, Cloud Nothings, etc

 

Yes plz

 

Hotline TNT

 

late to the party but those crisman tracks are stellar

 

Please!

 

Man those Addy songs rule! I played them a few times in a row today. Excited for that. The Alexander album is also very good.

 

It keeps saying "no files to extract" when I try to UnRar it

 

Any relation between the singers of Wednesday and diva sweetly? Sound so similar and have the same last name lol

 

Wednesday is soooo good.

As well as Girl Church
