Shed

Shed was a pop-punk band from Redmond,Washington that consisted of some pretty swell guys. They have three albums out there, but this is the only one I have at the moment. Sooooo gooood

Everything I Am Becomes Cool, Minus Me

Sourpatch

I saw/played with these guys a while back in Olympia. They freaking rule. They are a bunch of cool kids from San Jose, CA stuck in the 90s. Female fronted vocals and a great drummer. Check 'em out

Crushin'

Harriet the Spy

Oh man I can't believe I haven't posted this yet. Harriet the Spy is an ingenious band from the 90s of Kent, OH. They sound like spastic emo mixed with a post-hardcore vibe. I'm including their Anthology plus Unfuckwithable which has a different, more Yo La Tengo indie feel to it.


Anthology of Selected Recordings
Unfuckwithable 12"

Lifetime

This band isn't anything new. Lifetime has been around since the 90s making some seriously good jams in the pop punk scene. However, though I love Jersey's Best Dancer as much as the next guy, their self titled album of 2007 is giving it a serious run for its money. It's soooooooooooooo good! On my list of pop-punk jams I'll be listening to this summer, along with Rvivr's new LP ^_^


Lifetime

The Mean Jeans

If you thought it couldn't get any better, well then you haven't heard Mean Jeans! Even though this Portland, OR band started out as a ripoff Ramones tribute band, in my opinion they are doing and accomplishing much more than just that. Recently I saw them live at the Artistery in Portland and it completely blew me away. They make you want to live everyday as if it were summer; skateboarding, eating pizza, and drinking beer. Even though I've never been a fan of the Ramones, their influence on this band is definitely apparent, but I don't think the Ramones ever partied as hard as these guys do.



Are You Serious?

Superchunk

Superchunk is an indie rock band from North Carolina that formed in 1989. If you like Pete and Pete and living in the 90s in the summer, then this band is for you. Super feel good vibes.

On the Mouth

Charles Bronson

Charles Bronson is a hardcore/powerviolence band from Dekalb, Illinois that existed from 1994-1997. Known for their short songs and audio clips, Charles Bronson is a very very sick band for fans of Spazz, Infest, and even The Locust.

The Complete Discocrappy

Rvivr

Rvivr is an awesome pop punk band from Olympia, WA featuring members of Shorebirds and Latterman. All I can say is that I've been listening to their new LP for the past few weeks non-stop. It's the shit. You can download the whole thing for free at Rumbletowne Records here: Rvivr Lp

White Lung

Get stoked! White Lung is an all girl punk band from Vancouver B.C. who play catchy riffs and apparently like to fuck shit up. All I could find was their 3 song Atlanta 7", but they are touring the states this summer so make sure to go see them! They will be playing at my house in Olympia on July 16th. WOHO!

Atlanta 7"

Garden Variety

Garden Variety is a 90s emo/post-hardcore band for fans of Lync and Unwound. They have two Lps and many many 7" singles, but right now I'm just posting their Lp from 1994. Enjoy!

Knocking the Skill Level

Lync

Lync is an awesome 90s indie/emo band from Olympia, Washington with a really unique sound

These are not fall colors

Football, etc.

From Houston, TX. This band is just pure gold. Summer jams

Bells on Trike

Very good melodic emo band from Richmond, Virginia alive from 95-99


Self Titled 10"

Yaphet Kotto

Good screamo band from the Santa Cruz/San Francisco area

The Killer Was In The Government Blankets

Honeywell

Yep, first Inkwell, now Honeywell. Great hardcore turned screamo band from the 90s that use a lot of audio clips in-between songs, which I think is pretty rad. For fans of Reach Out and Heroin.

Electric Kool Aid 7"
Self Titled 12"
Self Titled 7"
Reach Out and Honeywell 7"

I Hate Myself

Easily my favorite emo band. From Gainesville, Florida.

10 songs

Inkwell

Emo band from Atlanta, Georgia that existed from 1994 to mid-1996.

Self Titled 7"
By Design 7"
Hal Al Shedad & Inkwell 7"

Shroomunion

Goofy name, really good band. I don't think very much is known about these guys other than they are an emo band that existed during the mid-90s. Few of the members went to play in Still Life, a few went on to play in Driftwood. Instantly addicting.

ADV-M9 Loves ADV-M10 10”
Fairytales and Dreams 7"
Self Titled 7"

Switzerland

When I first heard this band, I thought the singer's voice was a little cheesy because of the accent (being a band from Derby, UK), but I quickly got used to it. This is another band full of kids who are really good at their instruments. Reminds me a lot of Midwest Pen Pals. And the song Rice and Raisins just slays me. Seriously, one of the best songs I've heard in a while.

Demons EP

Monument

When I first heard this band, I basically bought everything they had to offer, and they sent me so much more. They are an emo band from Washington D.C. They are influenced by Braid and American Football and it definitely shows. But also if you like Snowing, you should definitely check them out. Here's their myspace too in case you decide to buy their stuff, which I highly recommend. They seem like great guys.

Florida Ep+New songs+7" songs+more songs!

Age Sixteen

There really aren't any other bands that sound like these guys, which is what makes them that much more awesome and unique. Screamo band from Baltimore. GREAT vocals with clean riffs and siq drumming. Definitely for fans of Boy Problems or Harrison Bergeron

Open Up Finders, Please

Spy Versus Spy

Another band that doesn't get all the recognition they deserve, but damn are they good. From the U.K. formed in 1998. Part of the post-hardcore binge I seem to be going on lately. Seriously though...so good

EP
Little Lights

The Microphones

Oh man, what to say about this band. I've been listening to The Microphones ever since my sophmore year in high school when I dated this guy with all the in's to the K Records/Marriage Records music scene. Adrian Orange, Karl Blau, Andrew Kaffer, Kimya Dawson...they were all great but this one stuck with me the most. Not only is Phil Elvrum one of the greatest song writers, IMO, but his combination of loud drumming, static, bells, some insane guitar riffs followed by some mellow acoustic strumming, and his quite voice coming through all of it just makes me melt every time. There are a lot of good albums by The Microphones, including It Was Hot We Stayed in the Water and Mount Eerie, but The Glow Pt. 2 is definitely a must, at first. Phil Elvrum is currently focused on his band called Mount Eerie, which is more on the electronic side and which I less prefer, but it's still great.


The Glow Pt. 2

Rockets and Blue Lights

FTW. From Albany, NY. Some great fucking emo.


Demo+A Smashed City With Flames and Music in the Air

Team Dresch

Really good punk band from Portland/Olympia highly involved in the queercore scene of the 90s


Personal Best

Snowing

I couldn't go very long without posting this. These guys come from the root of the crazy music scene that is going on in Pennsylvania right now, and by crazy I mean awesome. Very talented musicians with some goofy, cheesy lyrics that make you want summer to come all that much faster. Can't wait for these guys to come out with new stuff. Kirk Cameron Crowe owns. West Coast tour 2010 <3

Fuck Your Emotional Bullshit Demo

Harrison Bergeron

^^The kid in the white shirt pretty much sums it up. One of my favorite screamo bands. I only wish they had more stuff out there.

Dead Bergeron

Can't Hardly Wait

This band no longer exists. A couple of my friends from Bremerton, WA making really good punk music. Now members in a new, more pop-punkier band called Traditions

Little Lungs

I couldn't love this band anymore than I do. Female fronted vocal pop-punk band from Brooklyn. For fans of P.S. Eliot and Football, etc.

Hoist Me Up

Tigers Jaw

From Scranton, PA. This band is definitely a guilty pleasure. While being an indie rock band, there are definite undertones of a more mellow pop-punk aspect to them. They sing about friends and relationships with catchy lyrics, and the guys' voices couldn't be any more perfect for it.

Self Titled

Duck. Little Brother, Duck!

This band recently played at my house with Big Kids and Edhochuli. They are from Portland, OR and some pretty cool guys who play some gnarly melodic emo jams


Duck. Little Brother, Duck!

Puma Run

Coming from Bainbridge Island, WA. Some personal friends of mine and some of the coolest fucking guys you'll ever meet. Members now in a band called Livingston Seagull (also sick)

Demo

Stop It!!

I don't know what it is about this band, but I keep listening to this album in hopes of figuring it out.

Self Made Maps

Teenage Cool Kids

If you like feeling good, then listen to this band. The perfect summer jams

Queer Salutations

Drive Like Jehu

Awesome post-hardcore for fans of Unwound

Self Titled
Yank Crime

The Pine

Bunch of scroungy kids from Bakersfield, CA that play some truly righteous emotional music in the vein of The Hated, Evergreen, and some other bands that shared those same characteristics.

So emotional and so dope. The singer's voice reminds me of Billy Corgan. Total 90s feel.

Self-Titled
Days Slipping By

Midwest Pen Pals

This band is so mom-core, but they rule
