I saw them early this year and they were great. Claudio did express surprise that the show was sold out (Royal Oak Music Theater, Michigan), because him and the band were getting old

don't get me wrong, i still love them and always will, but their last few albums have been super ehhhh to me. especially the last one. but i'll still see them whenever they're in town and i'll never stop jamming their first 4 albums no matter how old i get. dudes introduced me to such a wide array of music with IKSSE3 and GA1.

I really love both Aftermans and Colour, Black Rainbow is probably the only one I'm lukewarm on, and only like half of it, I like 4 or so songs.

You never turn down a chance to see an emo band.
Seriously though, with the bands so susceptible to breaking up go every chance you get if you love that band.

Apparently a little late on this one but the new Moose Blood album is so good. I heard Knuckles on Alt Nation and that got me turned on to them. One of my fav albums of the year easily

yeah thanks!
I forgot to link once I got home haha
I ordered their split with Sorority Noise so I am stoked about that but I am not even that big of a SN fan. Old Gray is so much better.
Cam should stick to that .

Hardcore is such a mercurial title, so it's really no surprise to see all kinds of powerviolence getting thrown around... but that OP link is straight up metal. I can't tell if MJ put it best "that's not hardcore" or Olympia did. Weak thread that actually went somewhere, surprisingly.
But to me, the best hardcore is that original wave of very late 70s to mid 80s. This is a great book on it. Sloppy and meandering, constantly doubling back on itself to make a point that was already made, but that seems natural to the subject matter.
And speaking of Sorority Noise, their most recent album isn't on Spotify anymore. Any idea why?
I was going to get a Big Star demos album but ended up finding a (previous?) Record Store Day release of So Alone by Johnny Thunders. Double album, poster thing, little booklet... I just had to.
I've been holding off on picking it up so I can track down an OG press but finally caved. A while back, I caved on a White Light/White Heat repress and then not a month later, found an OG press that I wavered on and eventually passed. If I didn't have that clean 25th anniversary or whatever, I would've been all over the scuffed OG with a skip on Sister Ray in a heartbeat.

MJ is right Old Gray > Sorority Noise.
How much was that White Light/White Heat? For some reason I only have Velvet Underground & Nico even though I like all of their albums.

Maybe like 25 bucks or so? I forget. I typo'ed anyway, it was supposed to say 45th anniversary, not 25th.
The original one was going to be cheap, so I really regret not adding it in. I was haggling with a guy and had a good stack going, so it was going to be part of a package thing. I ended up getting an absolutely perfect London Calling OG as part of the stack. I forget the details about the rest, but it was a good haul.

I hate myself for this, but I get so annoyed over genre ignorance. Powerviolence is a thing. Deathcore is a thing. Grindcore is a thing. It bugs me when people just throw shit under an umbrella term. Just like when people try and call pop punk shit emo because someone told them it was emo once.

well in the OPs defense, the Acacia Strain label themselves as hardcore when they are for sure deathcore
Buncha dicks. That band sucks.

nice to see Fox Wound, Posture and The GRizzly, and Jouska up there
Yeah this list is so solid.
e: actually i take it back. I like the volume of emo on the list is nice but jimmy and cody over stage four? TBS over modern baseball? no dangers or hesitation wounds. no tmp? ian plz
the fox wound album is beyond good though. jank, hotelier, rosenstock and pinegrove are on nice and high spots
i'll post my dumb list soon
God this is so good. Debating myself if I should preorder this album or not. Do these records go out fast?
I used to be like this but I stopped caring when I realized it is too hard to keep track of everything. Also -core stuff usually goes right under the hardcore umbrella though I would argue deathcore is way more metal than hardcore. But with pop punk and emo isn't the pop punk the genre where emo took influences so saying pop punk act is emo is very wrong.
And yeah like MJ said bands tend to give themselves 'incorrect' genre labes sometimes so there is that too. Like Acacia Strain is basically deathcore (I guess) but the vocalist has said that he will do bad things to people if they say they are deathcore lol.

Genre ignorance used to bother me, too. My main gripe now is revisionism.
Like, there's a book about Husker Du that calls them fucking noise pop! So, can we call the Doors pre-Joy Division proto-synth? It never ends and I hate it. It gets even more nauseating when someone comes and calls a band the "first punk band" and starts the trial of influences to influences to influences.
Pitchfork is exceptionally bad at this whole revisionism thing. It's so transparently a grab at establishing groundwork for authenticity. They're really at a point where they try to swindle an opinion more than establishing one. I read a post somewhere that said, "7.0 means never having to say you're sorry," and it's dead on for the direction that site went.
Tiny Mix Tapes used to be the most reliable AOTY list, especially if you're into arty weird shit and noise, but they've fallen off badly.
SPIN had a few respectable calls, too. I haven't checked them out in a while, though.

With these things I usually don't pay much attention to the order since making a ranked list with something as subjective as music is kinda weird and can be difficult. TMP is a glaring omission though.

Cody deserves to be that high on the list. It's better and better every time I listen.

Just got my TWIABP/Sorority Noise split. They still credit Derrick on Smoke & Felt. So I am super curious what they will actually sound like without Derrick since Body Without Organs is from Harmlessness days.

That Old Gray is pretty heavy. The centerpiece spoken word bit when the band starts pummeling and pummeling to the point that phrases get drowned out... woooo.
I'm finally giving that newest Pinegrove a listen. I think I could really like it if I spin it at a later date/time. I keep switching back to this Dear Landlord album or playing something like this bandcamp jam from a band called Cut Up. That, and Tender Defender and trying to figure out how I feel about Get Dead.
I'm liking "Cody" a little more now, too.

Agreed. A few more fleshed out songs to anchor the album would give it more oomph, I guess, but I can always appreciate when someone just goes with 50 seconds of just letting it all out there.
I'm a big fan of sequencing and pacing in an album. I don't typically use shuffle unless it's a playlist. This strikes me as an album that has to be played in order, and I like that.
Also, here's a new Joyce Manor video from possibly my favorite song on the new one: Joyce Manor - Eighteen
Gumby's Pizza gets a cameo!
If anyone somehow doesn't see the thread in OT, At the Drive-In just released their first song in 16 years.
