I don't claim to be well versed in emo (in fact I probably need a starters guide),
but didn't this band basically get no attention whatsoever until they broke up, only to be worshipped afterwards?
http://youtu.be/Jcrg3KvT_WM whatever genre they are, I absolutely love them <3
I've actually wanted to make a thread about painted thin for some time because they've been a constant in my listening now for well over 20 years (like most mid 90s Winnipeg bands), they are often pigeon holed into pop punk genre which I don't think does their legacy justice!
http://youtu.be/GamFxQ3sYtksounds pretty emo (and fucking divine) to my ears, but again I'm not sure because I'm not versed in traditional emo.
Either way I rate both of the above bands!
