Mid to late 90's emo saved my life

[poly800rock]

anything off deep elm and jade tree.

deep elm was such a joke of a label.

deep elm is such fucking bullshit. they totally milked the emo shit to death. emo diaries?! i think he got up to like 22 or some shit. i think the only decent record on that label was appleseed cast or whatever. that label was so bad.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

i still have my christie front drove records (and the boys life split)

the first few promise ring records were great; why did they have to start recording full lengths?

[ddohnggo]

i was lucky enough to snag the 12" and 7" on freewheel a ways back from the dude who ran that label. i think promise ring from early shit -> nothing feels good is/was awesome. everything after was garbage.

indian summer for sure y'allz. and the pine who are, i guess, nowish. wish they wouldn't have broken up.

[ddohnggo]

man, brings back memories. i saw the pine in santa cruz in this house in 2001. it was a crazy fest that happened in someone's living room. the show was (if i can remember the lineup): the pine, lack (denmark), off minor, under a dying sun, forstella ford, etc... great show.

anyways, pine = poor man's evergreen.

top 4 that scream and cry summertime for me:

boys life-departures and landfalls

mineral/jimmy eat world/sense field 7"

the promise ring- nothing feels good

waxwing-for madmen only

is repo records still open?...zebrahead closed right? zebrahead was my favorite on southstreet, used to walk outta there with so much stuff....forgot about relapse too..lucky bastards.

[Darkeside]

Texas is the Reason and Farside both released some golden records

the first Get up kids record is amazing

part of me wishes i'd not sold my Braid records or the stuff i had on vinyl

[denimdestroyedmylife]

bird---repo is still open

dark--agree re: get up kids first 7"; too bad they kept recording

repo in bryn mawr the original one is closed, it's still open on south st.

I get Deep Elm confused with Tree Records. The postmarked stamps comp on Tree was great. That Crank comp with Christie/Mineral/etc. had good tracks as well.

Sad that repo in Bryn Mawr closed. That's where many a WaWa paycheck went back in the day.

Is there a market for emo records?

[denimdestroyedmylife]

yeah that bryn mawr one wasn't bad

i saw regulator watts there

they blew out the fuses and acted like assholes

but they rocked most triumphantly

(the singer told the clerk to turn that eurotechno off----referring to kraftwerk)

i used to love the girls that worked at bryn mawr. they'd suggest some random garbage and i'd be like totally, i'll give you 100$ right now.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

i got my bloody valentine early singles there after looking for them fruitlessly for ages

[n0torious]

Saetia

Indian Summer

Sunny Day Real Estate

Nation of Ulysses

Rites of Spring

It breaks my heart when My Chemical Romance is supposed to be carrying the torch for amazing bands like that.

[keysonawire]

antartica were before their time man...just imagine if antartica came out 2 years ago when that electroclash thing came about....insted of 5 years ago when no one cared about that stuff.

Oh man yes, the Antarctica full length was visionary. I was listening to that on a long car drive a few weeks ago and damn that album feels fresher than ever.

The 101 is a huge dead end for Richter

[keysonawire]

ditto. the christie front drive reunion is ridic. i'm sure it'll show up on youtube after it happens.

Wait, ...what?

[ddohnggo]

christie front drive is having a reunion for some fest in denver.

[snickersnicker]

Shall we post tradelists? I've got a pretty good collection, a lot of rare stuff.

Also, really good friends with Matt Weeks from Current!

Who else from VLV posts here? I know at least a handful of people do.

I joined VLV when I was fourteen and within a couple months put out a zine with interviews of all the VLV hype bands of the time (Die, Emperor! Die! and the One AM Radio and so on). Way better than the bands hyped there now. VLV circa 2002/3 - 2005 was definitely the most useful music resource I've ever found.

i read somewhere that the biggest influence on my chemical romance was Ink & Dagger.

someone help me.

christie front drive is having a reunion for some fest in denver.

Weird. I was wondering a couple weeks ago if they would be doing a reunion. For the first couple years after they broke up, they did last minute/impromptu 'reunion' shows whenever they'd all be in Denver (holidays). Like practice all day and play a show at someone's house. So it seemed kind of inevitable.

The 101 is dead and Eric's got a new band, btw.

[ddohnggo]

I got on there for the first time around 2005. Definetely isn't as cool nowadays.

When I was in high school I was really into mid 90's/early 00 emo. I'm not so much into it anymore, but I still play a couple of the seven inches and lp's I have. I always liked kerosene 454 and serotonin, but always found both bands records in the used bin at almost every record store!

[poly800rock]

what is VLV? i think i might have been too old for that wave.
