Hi! My little band just put out our first record. Thinking (and hoping 🙏🏽) some of you might dig it. Riffing on Gravity Records, Drive Like Jehu, Portraits of Past, weirdo 80s hardcore and a lot of sad shit.

It's in all the usual places! Cheers x

Another one from the Hanoi Traffic show. One of my favourite bands atm and currently anticipating their debut EP. Hope you all are enjoying the footage!

The 90s midwest emo scene is so important and iconic, but two or three bands get all recognition while the rest of the scene fades into obscurity, and it’s so sad. I find there’s so much misinformation and erasure when it comes to 80s and 90s emo overall. In my search for more artists, I sifted through information from oldhead Facebook groups, last.fm, Spotify descriptions, and Reddit. Hopefully this makes the search a little easier for anyone looking to learn more about the scene!

I’ll probably tweak this playlist a little bit more, but it’s mostly done. I picked a bunch of my favorites and did my best to make it cohesive. The biggest issue I’ve run into is that so many releases are missing from streaming. I may make another one on YouTube so I can represent more artists/releases though. Happy listening :))
