Music: Official Pop-Punk/Post-Hardcore/Emo/etc. Thread

[Frankie Blueberries]

Just got hooked on Spanish Love Songs' new album Brave Faces Everyone. If you like the Menzingers, they might be the closest comparable that I've heard.





I will say that they might be the first band I've listened to where I need to take breaks because their lyrics are so depressing. It's hard to really enjoy their music during a time like this.

Been going through a big emo/post-hardcore/pop-punk phase currently (typically my go-to genres amidst a couple others).

Thursday - Full Collapse. This album takes all that is angry and powerful yet trapped inside your head, and hits heavy. Paris in Flames is goddamned masterpiece.

I never really appreciated pop punk, but I've been getting into some Neck Deep and Trash Boat and it's hitting the spot.

Not sure if this has been mentioned here but a long-ago disbanded group called Texas is the Reason released a brilliant emo/midwest emo/post-hardcore album in 1996 called Do You Know Who You Are?

This is the title track and it can easily catch the ear of any listener not familiar with the genre. No lyrics needed for this song:

 

[Oogie Boogie]

So I didn't know this until yesterday on the way to work, but rapper Machine Gun Kelly is coming out with a pop punk album. I've heard two of the songs from the album that is supposed to be releasing this Fall...and I'm really liking it. He's got Travis Barker doing drums for his songs as well.

This album rips. Never heard his earlier stuff, but going into the album with the expectations of Top 40 (or just mainstream, highly produced/polished music) meets punk rock, I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the lyrics, catchy hooks and overall pretty good melodies. I just checked it out because Travis Barker drums on it and produced it, and a big reason it shreds on so many of the songs. He's currently the best drummer playing right now IMO (factoring in both technical proficiency and creativity, although I miss the sound of his gritty/dirty kit in the BoxCar Racer/Self-Titled era). 8/10 album on the first few impressions.

Machine Gun Kelly is more Blink 182 than the 2020 version of Blink 182 and I don't know how to feel about that.

This album is pretty fantastic.
