Emo Suggestions?

Connair · 05-21-2010, 01:30 PM

So i'm not a big fan of newer Emo but i was wonderin if anyone knows some older sounding emo. Here are some bands i enjoy

Cap'n Jazz
Joan of Arc
Sunny Day Real Estate

I'm kind of a new listener to most of this stuff so it would be great to learn of some major influences.

I'm not an expert on the Emo genre, I've dabbled in and out of it a bit, though. Most people like Evergreen, I'm not a huge fan but they are nineties emo so might as well try them. Also Five-O is a nineties emo band that are alright. Also, you might dig Rites of Spring. Its always an argument when you try to place this band in a genre, some say Emo some say Post-Hardcore either way you should give them a listen. Fugazi also fits along with RoS. Embrace is also in this same boat, but give it a listen. I would also like to mention Dag Nasty and One Last Wish. These bands aren't Emo but certainly this circle of bands are Post-Hardcore and often times related with the Emo scene.

Okay, well Emo is emo.
And to me, Sunny Day is overrated.

I will give you list!

Algernon Cadwallader is basically the nuanced caP'n Jazz. If you liked caP'n Jazz, you'll probably like AC.

edit: I guess I didn't edit the youtube link into the first post like I meant to, my bad.

If this video piques your interest, however, I can find you a link to the whole album. There are many better songs on the whole thing that I simply didn't find on youtube.

Hey,

Do you listen to Braid and Mineral and early Promise Ring type stuff, already ? If not you should give it a listen.
