The Emo Thread


Recommended Posts

 Merry Christmas present from Flesh and Bone Records, which includes some emo bands.  From now until the end of tomorrow, you can download all the Flesh and Bone albums for free.  Only 200 total downloads available, and the only other time I did these, they were gone super fast.  Hope you all enjoy, and thanks to anyone that has supported the label in its first year - already looking forward to 2015!

I often hear emo bands being segragated into 'waves' but am never really sure who fits into what era. I've chalked it up the following (just giving examples of bands of said ilk, this isn't definite), is this somewhat correct or am I way off?

1st wave: Jawbreaker, Mineral, Texas Is The Reason, The Promise Ring, SDRE.

2nd wave: TGUK, JEW, Further Seems Forever/Dashboard Confessional, Elliot, The Juliana Theory, Braid.

3rd wave: American Football, Thursday, Saves The Day, Bright Eyes (most of the Saddle Creek scene as well).

4th wave: ??? (I guess Warped Tour shit from the mid-to-later 2000's)

5th wave (revival?): Dads, TWIABP, Tigers Jaw, Dikembe, You Blew It!

That seems pretty off to me if we're going to classify all these bands into "waves". I'd start with Rites of Spring, not Mineral, The Promise Ring, etc.
