Washed Up Emo Blog

An article came out by Gawker just before Thanksgiving and you NEED TO FUCKING READ THIS! I haven't even had the power or been able to not punch my computer as I type about Owl City and how bad it is. Thanks to Gawker I can rest for a bit and reflect. So only 6 years needs to happen before I c...

Ready for your future kids? You start a hardcore band, then you go post hardcore, then you do an acoustic tour, then form back with your band two years too late for kids to care.. Well for once, a band came from a hardcore band and did it RIGHT! That band is Renee Heartfelt. From Count Me Out...

Meet Glorywhore! A punk band that should be banned from ever coming into the states. Their upcoming dates include playing in Vancouver (every show) at The Funhouse with Hooker Pop and then playing a few days later at The Purple Crap! Man, the sexual innuendos are about as amazing as Brett Deta...

Fall Out Boy is on hiatus, music is again heard in heaven.Attack Attack vocalist leaves, Crabcore bands now able to multiply. Craig Owens asks for cut on all bands after Attack Attack.Metro Station Keyboardist leaves group, Miley Cyrus tour canceled due to fan protests.

Based on their recent tweets, The Jealous Sound are excited from their recent tour with Sunny Day Real Estate and working on new tunes. Here is one which I THINK is "I'll Set You Free" based on Blair saying it 100 times during the song. Keep up the good work fellas.

A reader of Washed Up Emo sent this band to me today and damn it sounds like 1997 all over again! Someone has been listening to American Football, Cap N' Jazz and Cursive! Very nice work fellas, very nice work. Keep it up, Washed Up Emo supports you! http://www.myspace.com/algernoncadwalladerh...

Anticipation and Expectations. Two words felt before a long awaited return. Anticipation sometimes has a way of losing itself before an event. Expectations sometimes lead to unfulfilled feelings and in turn a bad experience. Maybe my anticipation was too long and expectations too high for ton...

No clue who this is but he has got his shit together and I love how he is whispering like his mom or dad will hear him! A-mazing display of knowledge and a few points I could do without but right off the bat, saying Hawthorne Heights isn't emo is a GREAT way to get on my good side. Nice work yo...

Thanks to BrooklynVegan.com who snagged my review of the NYC Sunny Day Real Estate show. I am deeply honored as I spent a good 12 minutes writing it from the heart. An amazing show and in going through their rad photos and posted videos (dork alert) I realized you can catch a glimpse of Pierre,...

I got a friend who loved wrestling into some of the old school post hardcore but never did I think a wrestling fan would rock BENTON FALLS with some wresting highlights. A-mazing and sorta/kinda fits!Check out this other awesome Benton Falls song:Fighting Starlight - Benton Fa...

http://twitter.com/jimmyeatworld/status/4472285655"Looking forward to working with Mark Trombino on a new batch of songs. An old alliance made new."Well this is good news!

Among many emotions at Terminal 5 in NYC on the fateful Sunday night, one did not expect these turn of events. After enjoying the amazing set of The Jealous Sound (who are also playing Tuesday night in Brooklyn for all you REAL emo kids), everyone was anxiously awaiting the reformed Sunny Day Re...

good news abound folks. stay tuned. sdre in nyc was mindblowing.

Too many interns or old guys like me want to relive their past years and be relevant by working in their new indie outposts and pitch an article to their editor on EMO! "No, really. I saw The Promise Ring BEFORE "Nothing Feels Good", for real!" Paste Magazine told me the top 10 emo bands! Than...

And you thought I just picked on Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy. Guess Patrick Stump thought that licenses just renew themselves during tour as he was recently arrested on a 2 year suspended license charge. P Stump, you gotta understand that because people drive you around all day in golf carts t...

A quality video of Johnny Franck of Attack Attack! getting hit in the face at 1:07 of this video! Best part is around 3:13 where he is about to cry telling those kids, in my opinion should be scouted by the New York Mets, to go fuck themselves. You can tell he wants to run off stage to his mom ...

I think I have found something worse than Brokencyde and not from the UK but from our lovely US of A. Spanky and Jayreck are their names and they form Dot Dot Curve. I spent a good 15 minutes listening to their music and realize that its auto-tune singing and screaming. Please listen for yours...

I feel bad because Jacob is probably at the end of his internship at the newspaper and had to turn something in so he didn't fail. The result? A history of Emo. The OC Weekly "writer" took about 5 minutes to research Emo using the Urban Dictionary and interviewing JamisonParker. "Hey Profess...

For those that don't know Jim Suptic, he plays guitar in a band The Get Up Kids. Yes, the old emo bands PLAYED INSTRUMENTS! I know, I'm gonna let that sink in. Ok, you good? So, he was asked in an article for Drowned in Sound about their influence on emo. Pretty funny answers and VERY TRUE. ...

I have a feeling this is fake but still, very funny and very true.Sure, this only fuels people watching them but also contributes to someone taking it for the team and removing this band from the planet.www.mothersagainstbrokencyde.net- Thanks Trashly Wentz.

Here is the proof folks, Brokencyde was too busy to hang with me and take a photo at Warped Tour. I guess they are too busy practicing their "crabcore" moves or I didn't have boobies or they realized I was from Washed Up Emo. Regardless, they had to get to a "signing..." aka, LOSERLINE. I did fin...

For those that don't know about Crabcore, no it's not about Craig Owens, it's a new genre where from what I can gather, the bands use auto tune, play guitar/bass/sing and act like crabs. You will see when you watch. The most popular one today is Attack Attack!. Few videos to watch including th...
