I've heard of The Appleseed Cast, though I have yet to listen to them ... should get on that.<br /><br />Was that outside service you mentioned purevolume or myspace? haha. I guess neither of those were popular in 2011, which if I am correct, was when you started those A reviews ...<br /><br />Hmmm ... not very many, but some, in my estimation. The first one that comes to mind is Silverstein (though they seem to get less emo over the years, kinda). There was a great local band in my city (Saskatoon) by the name of Castaway who was somewhat emo, but they broke up this year. Other than that, not very many come to mind. Most species fall susceptible to the evolution of emo to scenester to hipster ... emo bands trying to make hipster music is just horrible though (ex. JT Woodruff from Hawthorne Heights song "Field Medicine").Graham Wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10478686415405826515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9602155.post-8098988628043890982016-09-19T13:47:02.020-05:002016-09-19T13:47:02.020-05:00Sorry, dude, it's just not for me, and I'v...Sorry, dude, it's just not for me, and I've made some pretty serious attempts to get into the genre, including listening to those two bands, Mineral, Sunny Day Real Estate, what have you.. I do have some respect for American Football, though. I wouldn't call them crappy, even though I'm not a fan. I can recognize their talent, and their stuff is way better than The Operation, in my opinion. About the most "emo" thing I can get into is The Appleseed Cast's first album, which is by far my least favorite by them, and also features a sound they got away from almost immediately.<br />Also, "Topic" is wonderful! They've archived so much music.. You can find almost anything on there now, even though more obscure stuff may only have 10-20 hits. I had to use an outside service to host MP3's for reviews of less known bands, back when I was only on the "A"'s and "B"'s, but now I can Youtube link everything. It's great!<br />Are any current bands still working in the "emo" sound?

I've heard of The Operation, but I had no idea this archaic recording could be accessed on the web ... that YouTube topic whatever thing is a wonderful, er, thing. Curious, are you familiar with The Jazz June or American Football? I'm wondering if you'd consider them the crappy emo bands, haha.Graham Wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10478686415405826515noreply@blogger.com
