With the recent Sunny Day Real Estate news, I figured it’s about time I posted my second part to my “Emo Style” Round of Sound I posted way back when. All the same holds true that I said back in that post concerning these songs. There is still A LOT I have left off this playlist, and this isn’t meant as a definitive guide to what is “emo”, it’s just songs that at one time or another have been considered emo…like it or not.
A few notes about these tracks: Some of these are just extensions of songs I posted on Part 1 meaning that a few of these bands have a counterpart from that list in that they may be side projects or a whole new band all together spawned from previous projects (ie. Further Seems Forever -> Dashboard Confessional, The Get Up Kids -> The New Amsterdams, Mineral -> The Gloria Record). Also, some of these bands are still going strong (Cursive, Dashboard, New Amsterdams) and some of these bands are no longer but have spawned notable new acts (ie. American Football -> Owen, Promise Ring -> Maritime). Anyway, I felt like all that was worth mentioning.
