The World Is A Beautiful Place And I Am No Longer Afraid To Die - Whenever, If Ever (2013)
I'm still enamored with this emo-revival thing, although these guys mix a heavy dose of post-rock and Neutral Milk Hotel into their sound. My favorite record of 2013 to date.
Tigers Jaw - Self-Titled (2008)
This is an album that was at the forefront of the (Midwest) emo-revival that seems to be centered around Philly and the eastern seaboard today. You've gotta be able to handle grating emo vocals to enjoy this, but I think it's among the most punchy guitar work in the genre.
Haim - Days Are Gone (2013)
Man, this is how pop rock is supposed to sound. I hope they blow up, if they haven't already...
