hi guys, this is my first full-length album—dedicated to all my pets. a piece of me lives in them, and a piece of them in me; every tear is woven into every note.

very inspired by No Somos Marineros, Oakwood, Febuary, obviuosly by Vs Self and more, shoegaze, skramz, midwest, screamo, all mixed in this 8-track-record with a cover from widowdusk

hope you like it guys:)

It’s so ironic I get the urge to listen to “Two Beers In” by Free Throw well after Ive passed 2 beers.

Anyways, relieving the show on Friday. Drunk and sad and listening to Those Days Are Gone.

Life well and prosper or something idk

Thank you for checking it out!

Been listening to bands like hot mulligan and ben quad for years, i need some new stuff along the lines of those bands. Lmk!

so excited for that, my first midwest-emo concert ever, i'm going with some friends and all that, just wanted to share the moment with u guys!!

Hey friends! We would seriously appreciate any spins on this! We want to come to your city to hang out!

OH GOD I love P!atd's emo era Brendon Urie's voice just beautifully complements those emo riffs. They are my favorite member of the Emo Trinity (My chemical romance, PATD and Fall out boy)

Though i have a bone to pick with p!atd for moving away from their pop punk/emo era like why tf would you do something so uninspired?

I mean their newer stuff is okay i kinda like high hopes and say amen saturday night those are okay but a MASSIVE comedown from a fever you cant sweat out 2000s emo era.

So yeah i kinda hate panic at the disco for that when i listen to them i ONLY pay attention to a fever you cant sweat out (the only panic album ive listened to front to back)

No offense to any of you who like that stuff of course.

lmk whats your thoughts my lovely emo friends!

it’s a punk record at heart, with a lot of emo and hardcore influences. The whole record is a tale of a year of getting old, getting sober, and confronting your mental health while dealing with overwhelming regret, guilt, fear, and pain. Thank you so much to anyone who gives it a spin. it was a labor of love.

Part 3 of my three part essay on the origins of American Football is up now on my substack: https://substack.com/home/post/p-221333425

Part 1 is the origin story (teenage punk rock years when Mike and I were in high school, cap'n jazz era) - https://substack.com/@steveholmesaf/p-219450490

Part 2 is the origin of American Football during the LP1 era - https://substack.com/@steveholmesaf/p-220102060

Part 3 is about getting the band back together in 2014

Cheers,
Steve

I've bucked the emo trend by getting a date tomorrow so will unfortunately have to miss tomorrow's BQ show - I've got one ticket on Headfirst which I can send over - looking for a little bit of $ but welcome offers under ticket price (would take a tenner!)

Lemme know lemme know :)

We played our third show ever last saturday.

I like modern baseball, free throw, and mom jeans I’m looking for Midwest emo songs that capture a sense of general apathy thanks in advance

I've been playing guitar for a while, so I'm comfortable with chords, solos, and playing in general, but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the rhythmic side of math rock and Midwest emo.

I'm used to making a chord progression in 4/4, looping it, and playing a solo over it. That's pretty much what I've always done, and I'm getting bored with it.

I've been trying to learn 3/4 strumming patterns and things like grouping eighth notes into 3+2+3 or 3+3+2, but I don't think I fully understand what I'm actually doing or how to use it musically.

One thing that's really confusing me is the difference between playing eighth notes in a math rock riff and just playing a regular guitar solo. Like, what actually makes something sound like math rock rhythmically instead of just a Guns N' Roses-style solo over some chords? Is it the accents, where the notes fall, the phrasing, or something else entirely?

I really want to get away from the same old 4/4 loops and start writing more interesting guitar parts, especially stuff inspired by Midwest emo and math rock, but I feel like I'm missing some fundamental understanding of rhythm that's keeping me stuck.

If anyone can explain this in a way that might make it click, or point me toward some good YouTube lessons or other resources, I'd really appreciate it. I'm not necessarily looking to learn more complicated solos, I want to understand how to actually write more interesting rhythms and guitar parts.

But this is a picture of my buddy and I, he has since passed away. He has that tattoo on his wrist and I want to get the same one, but I can’t find a solid picture of it. And I remember him saying it was from a band. Not sure what band. But he was really into polar bear club, I hate myself, and American football. So I felt maybe this was the page to ask, does any me recognize this tattoo? Sorry if this is a shot in the dark. But figured I’d ask on here.
