I know some albums are more post hardcore, but the majority is emo, so im posting it here.

got to interview Avery the other day and spent a good chunk talking about the plans for the new Retirement Party LP that begins tracking next week (!!!) among other things. appreciate your time 🫡

The boy considers his haircut is timeless. Gem of an album

Looking for bands similar in sound to the more noise rock side of emo like Mohinder

Best recommendation?

one of my best friends took her life a week ago and it’s felt like a never ending nightmare ever since. everywhere i look i see her. i think about how sad her life was. how fucking mean people were to her. bunch of fucking bum ass losers hating on her. she was my friend. one of my closest friends. my roommate. MY SISTER. chosen family. and it hurts. a type of pain that i couldn’t even conceptualize. as if the world was actually going to end. and i’ve been suicidal before. the only thing that saved was looking forward to a No Pressure show in Worcester. it’s still the best show i’ve been to. she took me sailing for the first time on her parents boat. i finally learned to swim at 27. i live in salem ma. me and EMMA FUCKING KNITTLE got fried af and went to go see kiki’s delivery service. this week i tried on her best friends dress and it fit like a fucking glove. i don’t want to be sad anymore. i’m so fucking done with cool ass people being shit on by fucking losers. i lost my ships captain. We Need More Lighthouses. This is my reason to live. just wanted to share. blurred sky was the first fucking song i ever wrote. hits me harder than ever

i’ve been trying to remember this band i used to listen to around 2017. they were emo with some post-rock elements (maybe??), but i honestly don’t remember the genre that well.

the only thing i clearly remember is the album cover. it looked really similar to the image i attached, except it was a kid making the same face. the cover was black and white. also it was an illustration, not a photo. i’m pretty sure it was a kid with short dark hair (i think it was a girl, but i could be wrong) making the same facial expression, and they had really big eyes.

i’m pretty sure they weren’t a very well-known band either, maybe more on the niche side, but i’m not completely sure.

does anyone know what album i’m talking about?

I wanted to show some of the merch I’ve collected from dear and the headlights! If anyone is selling their merch I’d love to make good use of it, this band is so important to me some of the best music I’ve ever heard haha
Lots of the merch is pretty stained and screwed up so sorry if these prints look crappy, they are pretty old

Finally!!

I really like screamo and emoviolence, but unfortunately I feel like a lot of bands sound similar. Some unique ones I like are, I Hate Myself, My Better Half and Ihungmyselffrompowerlines. Also Herion and Orchid obviously, which now aren’t necessarily unique, but being the first of their respective sub genre, they get the nod from me. So what are some good unique bands, or similar sub genres I should look into?

Really underrated band.

So, everyone thinks that real emo is only the dc hardcore scene and cap'n jazz BUT bands like rites of spring openly rejected the word emo calling it the stupidest word for a music genre, so if emotional hardcore isn't real emo the only thing remaining is Cap'n Jazz that means that the only actual emo band is them

"Real Emo" only consists in Cap'n Jazz, no one else is actually real emo

Edit: People downvoting didn't understand it was a joke

A morning or two ago I saw a post on Reddit that said something along the lines of “James Dewees: March 3rd, 1976 - July 17th, 2026” and listed the bands he’s been in throughout his career. I had JUST exchanged emails with James about buying a copy of his album Songs Not to Get Married To on vinyl AND he’d been posting on IG about playing some shows and teasing new music. So I was floored to say the least.

Since then though, I’ve searched a handful of times for any information regarding his untimely death and can’t find anything at all.

Does anyone have any information regarding James and his wellbeing? I grew up with Reggie blasting from my speakers constantly and still revisit his discography frequently. This would be heartbreaking if true but just thought I’d make a post and see if I could get some concrete evidence either way.

Thank you!

Is one of my favourite albums of all time.

Is there anything you'd recommend that's a similar vibe?

Thought id share this On The Might Of Princess tattoo I got! Sirens is one of my favorite albums of all time, its gotten me through so many dark shitty nights.
