so there I was sat at work today, and I thought "I want to listen to some emo". Lo and behold, I don't have anything that fit the bill. I have Deja Entendu by Brand New, I have P!ATD's album, I have Seven Ways to Scream Your Name by FFAF, but none of them were doing it for me :(

The best way to describe what I want to listen to is stuff like "This Jetset Life is Gonna Kill You" by MCR, "The Kill" by 30 Seconds to Mars, "The Quiet Things That No-one ever knows" by Brand New - that sort of thing. I'm sure some of you lot are closet emo fans so give me your best shot.

Also, Mohinder and all you other lot - I don't want to be schooled on "proper" emo - I want lovely, wrist-slitting post hardcore!
 
I have, and I didn't like them. Listened to those 2 bands, Zebede, but they're not what I was after. Thanks for the links though, couple of those songs weren't bad
 
Urgh I feel the forums are tainted with all this talk of emo rubbish

I feel that the forums are tainted with your presence every time I see you post, but I don't go on about it.

Cheers for the recommendations guys, keep them coming!
 
My brother mentioned them to me when I asked him this question but I hated them. The singer's voice made me want to do murder
 
yeah, I can see why people think they're emo. some of their songs are pretty dreary, and that's what some people class as emo. I love From Here to Infirmary - really pleased with the wide variety of recommendations here - cheers :)
 
penski, that Minus album is ****ing solid! not what I was looking for at all, but it's a BEAST! Music to quit smoking to
 
yeah, Brand New are ok. Deja Entendu is good and there's a few good tracks on the earlier one. Not heard anything else by them though
