perhaps the most underrated midwest emo band ever. This is free game btw. Listen to everything on their bandcamp and save their cover of Maps (yes,) for last. changed MY life..

This album remains #1 on the RateYourMusic Midwest Emo all-time chart, but has virtually no digital footprint beyond niche online communities and live videos from people who were lucky enough to experience their live shows in New Hampshire.
I discovered Brave Little Abacus nearly 10 years ago and I'm still grieving the fomo of being a teenager in Massachusetts during this time, yet having no idea that this special band was creating one of the best midwest emo albums a half hour away.

I had the opening track to this album saved and I recently rediscovered it and then listened to the whole record and it’s beautiful. The band is based out of Nashville and they have this like country folk Midwest emo punk mix sound going on that I can’t really describe but I absolutely loved this album and the album cover is so fun

oh man this is Controversial for people who were into emo music in like 2019/2020 (essay on the trials and tribulations of Fourth/Fifth Wave emo forthcoming), but what a cool band. dropping one of the all time modern classic angsty records "Greatest Hits", and then, though not without controversy, trying to craft a really unique power pop song. their new stuff? Not as good as "Greatest Hits" and the Title Fight-y stuff they have since tried to remove, but I like that they have a vision for songwriting! Also, Minnesota music! It's great!
