Ask him to compile a list of good midwest emo albums released between 2020 and 2022 so I can check them out. Kthx.
2020+ has felt kinda slow, not sure is it’s “revival” slowing down or I’m just not keeping up but there’s still some fun stuff.
Easily my #1 Midwest emo release in the last couple years ironically comes out of Singapore and is forests’ latest:
https://weareforests.bandcamp.com/Chinese Football is in the same boat, although I’m not sure if they’ve actually put out anything in the COVID era or not.
Life’s Hard was a notable recent release. I know some people hate the mildly country twang it’s got going on but I think it’s fresh
https://3amband.bandcamp.com/album/lifes-hardTiny moving parts has an album coming out this month but I haven’t really loved anything they’ve done recently. They went kinda pop punk and not in a good way.
And of course no emopost is complete without mention of the lean mean mom jeans revenge machine
