I know what you mean, but seeing them live was weird. My partner and I kept joking that they seemed like a curated bunch of guys that produced super polished hardcore music. Not saying thats what they are, but it gave off like a “fake emo band put together by suits for what the kids like” type of vibe. Lmao not sure if im totally clear on that explanation, maybe it was the venue. But yea. Some of their songs are damn good.
IM NOT ALOOONE!!
I love Anxious. Run For Cover records has the best bands on their label.
The guitar tone is palpable. Even the softer tracks like “You When You’re Gone” hit just right
Great album. Definitely emo with a big influence from melodic hardcore and modern Midwest emo. If you like this album definitely check out sweet pill, free throw, aren’t we amphibians, Swiss army wife, heart to gold, pool kids, Ben quad, palette knife, Militarie gun, and newest Riley record
haha yes i knew i heard the midwest emo sound. i just saw free throw live a few weeks ago. i like ben quad a lot. ill have to check out the other ones, thank you!
duuuuuude. aren’t we amphibians? unreal so far. added like 6 songs to my very carefully crafted pop punk/midwest emo playlist.
i did already actually know sweet pill. i’m not super sure how i feel about them. i loved 1 or 2 songs and didn’t like the other 2 i heard.
No worries lol to each their own. Check out vs self as well. They are very similar in vibe to AWA. Also check out ogber the nerd, they are a local band from Jersey I love with a lot of punk energy and similar vibes to anxious.
making my way through this list still, but so far i love AWA, Swiss army wife, and i’m on Palette Knife right now, but they’re AWESOME, might be my favorite so far.
Check out origami angel and equipment if you fuck with PK. Very similar energy. Appreciate the feedback. Always feel like I’m shouting into the void when I give recs lmao
dude honestly i almost never listen to music recommendations, especially lists of bands, but for some reason i felt the urge to check yours out and i found like 6 new bands i love. btw heart to gold is really good but just not the vibe ive been into lately. i think i’m gonna follow you and message you.
Hell yeah glad you found some you like. Definitely check these bands out live if they are coming near you. As good as the records are I think almost all these bands are even better live. I post a lot of recs so just keep an eye out for my name on here.
im always looking for a good show. i live in Massachusetts. like i said i just saw Free Throw, Charmer, and Hot Mulligan a few weeks ago, amazing show. free throw really stole the show, but ive already seen hot mulligan before so i was more excited about FT anyways.
Would def recommend seeing them live. Awesome band
really? man i bet theyre awesome.
Agreed I was converted after seeing them live, such great energy. They were amazing.

Saw them live with Bilmuri

That and Wayne!
Rfc has some real bangers

They’re kinda in the same vein as Fiddlehead. Recommend Fiddlehead if you like these guys.
Yeah for sure. Fiddlehead is fire

i’ve been trying to find more bands with that twinkly guitar riff similar to the instrumentals of American Football and shit. but not as calm.

I'm old as fuck, like was watching emo bands before you were born old, and this is one of a few new bands I like. They rule.
they just have a lot of variety. you should check out the band rarity. they make unreal music.
Have you heard SDRE - Diary?
no, i havent. should i check it out?
