Any distinguishable characteristics to them/their music?

I think it depends what you like. They've got a pretty heavy pop-punk influence, but they throw in folk-punk as well, but they kinda fit in with the fourth wave of emo like You Blew It! and Dikembe. Vocal styles pretty similar to The Front Bottoms. The lyrics are pretty witty, and definitely are that kinda slacker/deprecating college kid style. I love them and think they are very worth getting into.

Nomination:



The Brave Little Abacus - Masked Dancers: concern in so many things you forget where you are

This album is genuinely incredible, and I'd like everyone to listen to and evaluate it. Old school and new school sounding at the same time, with highly complex and intricate musicianship, experimental soundscapes, but still the catchiest songs a band can write. A whole lotta influences from 90's Cap'n Jazz style emo, mathcore, and some avant-garde.

you played a track off it last night and I thought it was really good.
I'm all in favor of that being the next album we look at.

Hello there !
I'd like to suggest an album but I'm really not sure if you could call it emo genre or just post-hardcore.
(cause I don't really know how to define the emo style)
So my suggestion is the album United by fates from the band Rival Schools. Walter Schreifels is the lead singer/guitarist, a big composer with a lot of influences. I've listened to this album like a million time and after listening the suggestion You blew it!, I thought it could be recommand for the emo album.
Please tell me if I'm totally wrong

By the way, Grow up dude is really a cool album. Good voices and guitars sound like they have been taken from a math-rock band. Remind me American Football. I'd be glad to vote for them but maybe I'm too late.

Have a good day guys !

Yeah it's a bit late to vote, since I'm counting the votes today, but if you want, you can nominate United for the next album.

Heh, one nomination. I'll make a United by Fate thread later.

[Isbjørn]

I suggest Born to Whisper by Settler for the next album. The World is a Beautiful Place... claims it's the best 4th wave emo album out there.
