Indy - Saves the Day? Didn't realise you were an emo kid?

Grrr Saves the Day are sooooooooooo not emo!
Saves the Day have good tone, good vox, good lyrics, good SONGS, and 5 damn good albums.
_tom_ was calling them emo earlier aswell - i really don't see it. they don't sound like any of this shitee on MTV...


ha...i take it you've heard the album 'Stay What You Are'? Pure emo, my friend, pure emo...I bought that album when I was like 16. It's got all the trademarks...edgy broken heart lyrics, that horribly over-emphasised american accent on the vocal etc, verse/chorus songs and so on. I mean, at least that's what emo was a few years back. I'd say they were definitely in that ballpark. Hell, that's why I bought them along with my Jimmy Eat World cds...

Steve, do you mean Marcus Miller? I haven't heard any of his stuff, unfortunately  :(

At this exact moment on the iPod, "Bierdna" from Hippjokk by Hedningarna.  Though I should say I've been listening to the new Brain Surgeon's Denial of Death  a lot recently.  Effin' heavy and very good (with some smokin' guitar from Ross the Boss, though he uses Duncan JBs ... he should get some Nailbombs, probably :)).  Also been listening to the recent debut CD from the Øresund Space Collective (got a good friend who plays synths with that).

Oh, random shuffle brings me another song now ....  Ah, "St. Stephen" from the Phil Lesh & Friends gig a week or so ago.  One of the guitarists that night was Trey Anastasio, a user of Schaller Golden 50 pups I believe.  The man wants Mules or Abraxas, I reckon :).  Decent version of the song, though not a patch on the raging Live/Dead version.

And random shuffle now brings me Clutch's "The Soapmakers" from their The Elephant Riders CD .....

I sadly missed their recent UK dates, and am criminally behind on CD purchases.  After I next get paid, I have got to get Blast Tyrant, and they've already released another CD since that!  

Fallin' behind, fallin' behind ....

But Tim Sult would need ... mmm, probably a Mule, I reckon.

Tough call. The 5 tracks I'm enjoying most at the moment are probably:

Nevermore: this godless endevour
Lamb of god: blood of the scribe
Soilwork: Figure number five
Necropahigist: to breath in a casket
Isis: grinning mouths

In no order.

you say emo like its a bad thing... this modern shitee calling itself emo (ffaf, my chemical romance, lost prophets etc) is no where as good as 'proper' emo, ie sunny day real estate, drive like jehu, fugazi, yes, even jimmy eat world.... they are more pop though now.

oh yeah- mark's been listening to albums by the following:

smashing pumpkins
belle and sebastian
the lemonheads
the flaming lips

and a few sucioperro eps (damn good unsigned scottish band, i'll upload a track if anyone is interested)
Mississippi Queens, Holydiver.

See Badger, I'd say Fugazi were more like Hardcore, or certainly straight edge, rather than emo. I know that the term 'emo' is not today what it was some time ago, same thing happens with every kind of music - Velvet Revolver for instance don't sound much like Led Zeppelin but they share enough in common with each other to be classed under the broad genre umbrella of 'hard rock'.

I don't think emo is a bad thing at all. I would say that I don't like a lot of what is currently coming out as 'emo', but I would still stand by my opinion that Saves The Day, in my experience at least, are closer to the modern term of what 'emo' means than they are to say, Fugazi. I can't imagine StD busting out 'Margin Walker' or something.

But at the end of the day, it's all opinions, it doesn't really matter how you label music, music is still music! Fugazi are $%&#ing awesome, though. Incidentally, I'm just checking out that Sucioperro's myspace thing, giving it a listen.
