dance gavin dance’s 2008 SELF-TITLED

maybe this is 12 year old emo me talking but this is pretty much a no skip album and essential emo homework. not like anything before or after it…it’s even an outlier in the band’s discography. catchy, heavy, silly, existential, gritty and twinkly all at the same time. everyone knows “uneasy hearts weigh the most” but “caviar” ft chino moreno is absolutely chef’s kiss if i could recommend a specific song.

post-hardcore (& 50hr work weeks)

the relentless rhythm of post-hardcore/screamo/metalcore is exactly what i need to keep me moving in all the hours i am not actually at work because if i stop i might dissolve . specific recs are early dance gavin dance albums (royal ocean through downtown battle mountain 2 except happiness) but especially downtown battle mountain 1 . also aya’s nts show mish mosh get a wash & alexisonfire’s watch out! the two are a perfect pairing imo , but overall i guess i wouldn’t recommend 50hr work weeks

late 00s blog rock era

such a tender and fun time... could just be looped in with that era of indie rock but there was something so distinct about it (twee? sparkly? childlike? maybe that's my own perception of its influence on me at the time?) someone still loves you boris yeltsin, freelance whales, clap your hands say yeah, midlake, islands, rogue wave, throw me the statue ETC!!!! i feel like i'm puking at homecoming bc my ex bf is grinding with my best friend and i am going home to burn a CD about it!!!!!

a fever you can‘t sweat out by panic! at the disco

if you are someone who appreciates good lyricism you need to look into this album i know that when you think panic at the disco you think that one dude who made high hopes and i write sins not tragedies but this album is so much more. first of all it was made when the band was actually a full band and it was entirely written by the guitarist ryan ross who was 17-18 years old at the time and it is some of the most intelligent well orchestrated songwriting i have ever seen. specifically the songs ‘Camidado’ and ‘Nails for breakfast tacks for snacks’ which are about ryan ross‘ dads battle with addiction and the view of that as a 17 year old boy. it is honestly such a heart breaking album for me because of how purely honest and thought out it was but how underrated it is due to the image the ‘band’ gets now because of the new music and who brendon urie is today.
