New Halloween - Touche Amore
This song is like if Touche Amore made a song for Tigers Jaw and then performed it themselves. Which I am totally fine with. Longer than most Touche songs,
at a meager 3:27, New Halloween is like grief in a handy teen-movie-enjoying-youth-montage. You can almost find yourself having a bit of a dance, and then
you listen to the lyrics and then it's like oh shit Touche Amore made me sad. again. They are brilliant at doing that.
Killjoy - Clair De Lune
Another classic emo song and then you get to the chorus and it's like woah. Someone in the back of this song is just straight up playing the piano and
it totally rocks. Awesome album cover too, which almost certainly made me want to the listen to the whole album LOL. Another week another underrated emo band...
Breakdown Championship - The Jim Yoshii Pile-Up
Found this band on an old mewithoutyou forum, which is obviously the best place to find music! This song is so beautiful and has great lyrics.
A classic emo song, yet sounding slightly new and unique.
"You ask me what's my greatest fear. Well honey, it's living here, making 6.50 an hour"
Monterey - Starflyer 59
No idea why I hadn't heard this song when I was deep into the shoegaze genre because it rocks! Dreamy, kinda melancholy and totally unskippable.
Yet another great band from Tooth & Nail records (see last weeks entry).
C-Minor - mewithoutyou
Returned back to mewithoutyou after an accidental hiatus and I have just dived straight into their discography. Every song is incredible.
I really think I've found this band again at the most pivotal moment in my life, alot of the songs I didn't like that much in the past I am able to see
in a new light. This is a particularly special song that I keep coming back to - that chorus alone is enough to make you loose your surroundings just for a couple seconds. I love these guys!
CONTROL - Frost Children
Craziest song of the summer for real, so hyped for the new album! Finally a song that captures everything I thought music should be when I was 11 the only thing I would listen to is a Electronic/ Dance Nightcore playlist. The MV link is
here, didn't want to include it in the normal place as it uses alot of flashing lights, so watch with care ^^
Think it Through - MSPAINT
The Garden Meets Linkin Park meets microsoft art software = MSPAINT. This is a great song for speed walking and jumping around in empty rooms.
Wayyy too short so I just have to press replay... again... and again...
Simplicity Is Beautiful - Juliana Hatfield
The "Hey guys wait" at the start of this song will always make me smile and even when the song ends I find I'm still smiling!
This song is like pure sunshine, the lyrics are cute and random and the guitars are dreamy and shoegaze-y.
Juliana doesn't have many songs like this and I so wish she did because this song is just that angelic.
Battle of Who Could Care Less - Ben Folds Five
Been on a Ben Folds kick as of late and this song is one of my many favourites from the BFF discography.
It's a fun song to sing along to and I can't help but sway along to the beat and pretend I'm on piano.
I like to listen to this song on the way to work so I have something upbeat stuck in my head all day.
"This should cheer you up for sure, see I've got your old I.D. and you're all dressed up like the Cure"
