I do listen to the christie front drive/ boys life split on occasion To quote Bill Burr, there is zero fat on that record.Β A classic.
This band, Gods Reflex, made a pretty perfect record in 2000 called Scenes From A Motel Seduction.Β Kind of a moody emo-pop deal.Β Fans of CFD should dig it.
God's Reflex rules

Hell yes.
The Julia and Assfactor 4 tracks on this are fucking great. Even Policy of 3 are good here:
Side note: how weird is it that Breather Resist got their name from the Hoover track on this comp?

These kiddos are from my hometown and I've worked a few shows they played. They opened for Turnover almost 5 years ago and I've been a fan since. The singer is very sweet. I never liked Paramore, but anyone who did will probably love this.

Not exactly sure that this counts, but it's ex-Current, and it rules:

Not exactly sure that this counts, but it's ex-Current, and it rules: Oh man. I have stories about Matt Weeks.
Dude was the babysitter for an old friend of mine, which resulted in said friend getting into real-ass hardcore at like age ten or eleven. Matt also used to be absolutely obsessed with the board game Warhammer. To an unhealthy degree.
I remember when Council Records was basically dead and I was just getting into "real" emo around 2000. I wrote Matt a letter and he burned me CD-R copies of the Current and Constantine Sankathi discographies and stuck them in the OG packaging with the booklets and everything. Pretty rad of him.
That same friend's band opened for Calvary on their tour in 2003. I was trying to start a record label at the time to put out a record by that band (HA!) and I was really excited to meet Matt. I wanted to ask him a few questions about running a label and how to get it off the ground. My friends shut that idea down real quick. My friend basically told me that I'd have a better chance asking him how to paint miniature orcs.

ur cryin'. I love I Hate Myself and this is my favorite songs of theirs. It really is a tearjerker. "Yesterday a telegraph said that you had died/ but I knew but I know it was a lie/ I tried to laugh but I wen't back to my room and cried/I mean our room, I wen't back to our room and cried." Such a brutal lyric in the context of the song.

Yeah, I remember on the Council site towards the end his trade list was all Warhammer paraphernalia and Death in June records. I briefly played in a band that was supposed to open for Calvary at a basement show, but I quit before it ever happened. Dude seemed like a genuine weirdo, which we need more of. Also, their "Shot by Both Sides" cover got me into Magazine.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Saetia yet. These guys killed it in the 90's.
I know they were mentioned earlier but I feel like this is mandatory emo song! Sunny Day Real Estate were a solid band!

I spent my mid teens to early 20's living in the Southern Bay Area (Cupertino), which had a pretty rad scene. I was a little young and missed most of it. They had legendary shows in the basement of the library. I ended up working at the library a couple of years after this period was over. There were some really incredible heavier emo bands that usually included some overlap of members.

The first video you posted is just a minute of birds.
Still sounds better than Saetia.
Love SDRE. Their last album is very underrated.

Fixed it. I noticed that had happened. That was the last link I had copied and thought I copied the Saetia link. You don't like Saetia?

I don't love the first track too much, but the flip side is killer.

the last two Hot Rod Circuit records don't hold up, but everything up through Sorry About Tomorrow is gold. I wish more of the emo revival bands drew from Texas is the Reason. that band still feels overlooked. Also maybe this is going into "hot taek" territory but the last Braid record is my favorite. Sorry About Tomorrow is an awesome and IMO underrated record.

DBS was criminally underrated/criminally unknown. At least in the US. This stuff leans more into a Jawbreaker/Lifetime version of emocore/pop punk sound but they would later sound more like Braid. I Have Dreams are another often missed gem.

Fourfa.com does bring up a point I'd forgotten about: where does stuff like Union of Uranus and Drift fall? Emo aesthetic, but heavily metallic sound. And members of each wen't on to His Hero Is Gone and Born Dead Icons, respectively, without really changing up what they were doing all that much.

This band was also definitely more on the Lifetime/Jawbreaker side of things, but I always absolutely loved this record

Listening now to the Julia LP, which I did once own but sold without ever spinning. If any band from this whole period should've done a second album, this was it. Heavily influenced by Fugazi, if they only listened to Guy's songs.

Heavily influenced by Fugazi, if they only listened to Guy's songs. Julia is my favorite band of all time just for this album. I had a roommate that got it right before they broke up and played it constantly, and at first I hated it. After about three months it started to grow on me, I may have been brainwashed by this point. Every song on it has at one point in time been my favorite song. It's the only record I can listen in any mood. Also the only record I don't get sick of. Someone finally posted a live set on youtube and that's been the most excited I've been about music in years

And members of each wen't on to His Hero Is Gone and Born Dead Icons, respectively, without really changing up what they were doing all that much. This is the stuff I loved the most when I was younger and listening to hardcore. I think it was definitely linked to some of the earlier, heavy emo stuff and the "screamo" stuff that was around in the 90's but lightyears away from what emo morphed into. Bands like this and the difficulty of categorizing them really speaks to how limiting the idea of genres can be. I always thought of it as emotional hardcore but hardcore is, by nature, pretty emotional music. I made a post a few posts back about bands like Makara and Mohinder and I would think bands like that are more closely linked to bands like Uranus, Drift, One Eyed God Prophecy, etc. Canada really killed it there for awhile in the 90's!

Definitely my favorite genre and spent a decade archiving this stuff. External crashed and lost everything but managed a decent collection that I hardly spin anymore. If anyone is looking for old or obscure shit, holler. archive.li/OyQRh
