I know the Alkaline Trio are fairly well known, but I managed to get a hold of their newer album about 2 months early, so far its pretty good, but good mourning, and from here to infirmary are much better.

Talk about emo.. Good Mourning is one of the most emo things I've ever heard.. [/b][/quote]
I thought you were an emo fan? I figure you'd know what emo actually is. Good mourning? its a little slower in parts and even lyrically, some parts probably are, but emo? No.. not in my opinion. Although I will admit the newer album seems to be more on the side of emo, as a result I'm not liking it nearly as much as their other albums. From here to infirmary is by far the best though.
It seems that these days everyone's opinion of what is emo and what is not is different. For myself, when I think of emo (which I despise) are bands like
thursday, taking back sunday, the used, Sunny Day Real Estate, Christie Front Drive, Promise Ring, Mineral, Boys Life, Sideshow, Get-Up Kids, Braid, Cap'n Jazz, then later Joan of Arc, Jets To Brazil, modest mouse .. The newest band like these that I've hated is
Straylight Run... ugh...
There are few albums coming out that I can't wait to hear, the new no use for a name, propagandhi, and of course the dropkick murphy's, For those of you familar with the newer
misfits albums, their former singer
Michale Graves is releasing a new album with songs similar in style to his misfits stuff, sounds quite good so far, and I can't wait to hear the whole thing!! Here's a link for anyone interested. There is a serious lack of good punk coming out so hopefully these albums help fill that void...
