Our series on the best music enjoyed by the Emo community.
- Lifetime’s “Seven Inches” CD was released by Glue Records and features heartfelt singing along with bounding, charged speed and energy. It also features some of the sweetest melodies you’ll find anywhere. The band stated that their mission was to reunite the Emo and hardcore punk communities–and their music took large strides in that direction.
- Falling Forward’s “Hand Me Down” CD found itself in the midst of several styles. It was part east-coast hardcore, art Midwestern “Emo-core,” and part Emo yelling. This group featured sensitive, melodic rock that was at the same time powerful.
- Split Lip (also known as Chamberlain)’s album, “Fate’s Got a Driver” has good Emo buildups that most enjoy.
- Rites of Spring’s 1985 CD, “End on End” is considered essential listening for Emos because of its intensity and vocal emotion.
- Policy of Three was an LP released by Old Glory Records. It featured a DC style, but had a lot of mathematical tautness reminiscent of Drive Like Jehu. Their songs featured a lot of evil buildups and tension.
- Floodgate released one LP (also a 2 x 7″) that Emos will like. This is emotional punk at its finest, with a catchy songwriting that will stick in your head like a fish-hook. In all of these songs, the singer eventually and inevitably goes crazy, screaming things like “Get this thing out!”
- Julia had a quality LP / CD at the tail end of the first Emo boom. It was tight and had a rocking DC sound, with a wailing, almost out of control singer, always on the verge of going nuts and very nearly toppling the amazing melodies that everyone else in the band was creating. The best part of the recording was an epic-length melody that slowly built up. The song very nearly breaks your heart.
- Reach Out has a 7″ and also, with Honeywell, a split 7″. Their songs feature a chaotic, anthematic, epic feel that many Emos love.
- Swing Kids has a CD (also 7″) from 31G Records. It’s difficult to describe it in a few words, but the first track is the best example of their heavy, gut-wrenching style–and yet it’s also brilliantly musical. You won’t find any better Justin Pearson music than on this recording.
- Portraits of Past 7″ / split with Bleed. This recording was a shock to many when first released. Yet today, in the Emo community, the vocals are considered some of the most extreme screams to ever make it to tape.
- Mohinder. All of their recordings have a melodic hardcore sound that will twist around the skull.
