Two things. All of my peers make music, but rarely do any of their songs make it into my listening catalog. Also, I hate emo. The Branching Out EP may have changed that? This EP takes the things about emo that turned me off and turns me on to them. Lyrics devoid of individualism, *riffs*, and fun vibes. This was made by a BAND whoâs having fun and Iâm having fun with them. It makes you want to go to a show again. The words are so stupid yet comforting, the musicianship indulgent but exciting, the affect emo with a 1/4 cup of hope. Itâs self taught musicians cosplaying the Berklee School of Music School of Music but without the chord sheets or pretension. Track titles such as Vampire Vibes, Confessions of an Aries, and This Wasnât On My Planner display a finger on the pulse ironic sincerity that actually works for once. Itâs about heartbreak, being nervous, having a crush, and wanting to die. Perfect for my little brothers friend/ex pupil of mine from my time as counselor at a rock nâ roll music camp located in the basement of the church in my suburb who attended their EP release show in New York. I think this appeals to 16 year old life noobs, 20 something year old haters like myself, and even the chicks. I could listen to them whine all day.

if you like the emo pop punk side of things, but not in a guy-punching-a-hole-in-drywall-for-no-reason sort of way, i strongly urge you to check this one out! been keeping up w these guys for a few years now and they have truly found the balance between âthis riff fucksâ and âthis melody is so funâ. plus, theyâve really grown as songwriters in comparison to their earlier work. emo fall is upon us, friends, but this time weâre slipping into angst laced with fun.

In a world where indie sleaze and dance punk is cool again, only one band decided to be smart about it⊠and then fell off the face of the earth. This is the indie coming of age album for kids that got in trouble with mom because their friends dared them to eat worms when they were 8, and they did it. Itâs like if Two Door Cinema Club and Franz Ferdinand were in highschool debate team and werenât good at it. Itâs like being too scared to steal your parents alcohol for a party.
