Another deep dive in 90's "emo".

INSTIL / GRAY BEFORE MY EYES - GONE, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN (1997)
track star records

And in the end it did risk being forgotten! Instil were the pre You and I band (which some of you may know), and they will provide you some really emotional screamo full of choruses, in the vein of the bands they anticipated, mainly I Have Dreams or The Kodan Armada. Really good stuff.

Grey Before my Eyes are more on the early Unwound style, emotional still not emo. I could even make Unbroken's name, maybe. Raging post hc, the kind of stuff that wakes you up in the early morning.

MILKWEDE - MILKWEDE 7" (1995)

Not on label

There's nearly anything on the web on Milkwede. I know they were from Lancester. They are kind of a point of meeting between Rites of Spring and something like Discharge.

a deep dive into the 90's emo underground today.

NOTAWORD - YOU CAN ONLY GROW SO MUCH (1999)

A rare, rare record. And a remarkable one too, no joke. Something to say could be: Get Up Kids.
"No one does this kind of thing anymore."
The link you find here is the only one on the net, so tresure it.

Label: Box Elder.

SIMPLY AN EMOPOP GEM.

SEA OF CORTEZ

Here, here there's a great deal. It was very hard, but I managed to find this at last. Sea of Cortez was a screamo band from arizona (now overnamed), one of those really difficult to share. They are now TOTALLY forgotten. I upped them, and I believe you can't find them anywhere but here. Indebted to early Unwound. Frantic drumming, and the tracks are so various in their structure it's almost unbelievable.
I added a track (their masterpiece imo) which was on a comp, this one in particular is very very rare and precious..

AGE OF ANXIETY (1998) Label: Voice of the Sky

INTERMISSION EP (2000/2001 ?) Label: ?

There's no pic on the net. So, take it as it is. Extremely rare :)

+ rarest track "it can't be hard to fly a plane, lots of people do it"

A FORGOTTEN TREASURE

I am sorry for the gap in the blog's activity, but I have to thank my exams for that. I put 2 posts to be (hopefully) forgiven.

MATT ELLIOTT - DRINKING SONGS (2005)

Overdramatic folkish alcohol. 

After The Third Eye Foundation Bristol's most desperate man tries to convey what he feels on a record.

Painful and dry.

HERE'S THE SPLEEN

ELLERY JAMES ROBERTS - KEROU'S LAMENT (2013)

After Wu Lyf split (does even somebody remember them?) the singer -he has a fantastic voice, believe me- begun writing tunes. This is his first one. I'm in serious trouble tagging this one, really.

IT'S A SINGLE SONG SO GIVE IT A TRY.

If you appreciate this it's better for you to know
you can obtain Wu Lyf's first and only album on this blog.
Strongly recommended.

THE NEW YEAR - THE END IS NEAR (2004)

I Bedhead vanno a letto coi R.E.M. e il figlio è più bello, e più triste.

The dusty flavour of some R.E.M. or Bedhead... you all can feel it. Drummer from Codeine.

TELL ME IF IT GOES DOWN

 



CITY OF CATERPILLAR - CITY OF CATERPILLAR (2002)

The first post screamo record ever. The best so far maybe. Several years before the second.

Massive build ups, god-like musicianship.

Their only album. Cult.

NOT MY USUAL EMERGING BAND. A TRUE PIECE OF HISTORY TODAY. VINYL QUOTED TO €450+ IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN.

D. VASSALOTTI - BOOK OF GHOSTS (2011)



Vi prego, fidatevi. Scaricatelo. Vorrei scrivere di più ma onestamente credo sia indescrivibile.

I really don't know what to write about THIS. Vassalotti plays/ed in Merchandise, Dads, Neon Blud and Cult Ritual; I think it's enough to challenge anyone. I hope tags can help.

NOW PLEASE

THE RURAL ALBERTA ADVANTAGE - HOMETOWNS (2009)

Fighettinata indie, molto godibile, se vi piace il genere. Disimpegnato.



Poppy indie. Really fast and nice. Supports several listens.

INCREDIBLY FROM TORONTO

UNSANE - WRECK (2012)

Bo. Devo descriverlo? Non vi basta sapere che è il nuovo degli Unsane? Dovrebbe.

There's nothing to say. It's Unsane's new facefist.

Enough.

ABSOLUTELY STILL *NOT* WRECKS 

Harder than the hardest. Still now.

 

THINKING FELLERS UNION LOCAL 282 - MOTHER OF ALL SAINTS (1992)

Perfino la copertina è lo-fi. Cioè.

Astounding noisy posthc ensamble veryveryvery high

always.

Near-hippie attitude, totally mad. Splendid.



THE '90 TOO HAD THEIR FREAKS

oh, si.
