#emo-scene-fm

Hello everybody, my name is Edie and I will be the new moderator for emo-scene-fm

I'm a 16 year old scene girl and my main blog is @xx-fangz-up-2006-xx I post mostly scenecore, emocore, lovecore, horror and punk aesthetics up there and I occasionally delve into kidcore/dirtcore too. If any of you are into that then you can definitely follow me there too.

If you think I sound familiar, it's because I'm actually one of the musicians that Tristan has done a bio on and I go by Edie VC on all platforms (Spotify, Soundcloud, Bandcamp, Apple Music etc.) I make indie rock music inspired by the late 2000s myspace independent music scene and 90's Midwest emo. I currently have one EP out that is called Made With Blingee, and I currently have plans to make more music soon. 10/10 check me out if you have some time! I even have SCOTTY FREAKING VANITY'S tick of approval so yea... haha, y'all go do that.

My favourite types of music under the "scene" umbrella are 90's Midwest, 2000's emo pop punk and MySpace indie. My favourite bands/artists are Panic! At The Disco (mostly their older music), The Academy Is... (we don't stan William the thot(TM) in this household though.), My Chemical Romance, Paramore, Taking Back Sunday, The Promise Ring, Sunny Day Real Estate, American Football, The Juliana Theory, Bright Eyes, The Used, Straylight Run, Mae, Hey Monday, Cobra Starship, Waterparks, Mindless Self Indulgence, Courage My Love, Fall Out Boy (once again, mostly their older songs), The Postal Service, Nickasaur, November Blessing (Tristan actually introduced me to the latter two) and so much more, and I don't limit myself to just music under the "scene" umbrella either. On the side I also love indie music (partially cause the music I was raised on mostly came from the student indie stations.), punk (riot grrrl mostly! I'm a sucker for some good feminist bops.) and pop (but mostly 2000's-early 2010's pop.)

Now... in terms of what I'll be posting. The first thing I'll be doing is uploading all the finished band bios that Tristan has sent me but hasn't uploaded yet. After that, I'll finish making bios for some recommendations of Tristan's that he didn't finish and also plenty of my own too. (But only smaller bands because I'm staying true to this blog's purpose and only posting about artists that don't have huge followings already.) this will be actually quite educational to me as well surprisingly because there are quite a few bands that not even I have listened to! I'll also be carrying out a few non biography related posts that Tristan wanted to do for this blog but couldn't.

I hope you guys enjoy my new contributions for this account and have a lot of fun discovering new music or even falling in love with older music you forgot from your past scene phase.

Stay random :D XD

Bio: The Scenecore community on Tumblr is something I'm really thankful to be involved with. When I'm not saying dumb stuff, making bad decisions, breaking down and losing what little of my crumbling sanity and emotional stability I have left it's really nice to reblog some blingees of pop rock bands from the 2000s and a glittery Monster Energy Drink logo completely unironically. I feel like there's something really admirable about people trying to revisit the 2000s Myspace Emo-Scene (or scemo, if you will) trend but taking it back and leaving behind a lot of the more problematic and toxic aspects of it. I feel like a lot of good people came together and made a welcoming, friendly community of acceptance. But something I've always hoped would come out of this was someone being inspired by this wave of nostalgia and make something new. We're a massively nostalgia based community. We're nostalgic for old fashion, old bands, old internet trends and old graphics. Hell, even this blog was founded on the idea of revisiting the forgotten emo-scene artists from the MySpace days. That's all fine and good but sometimes you want to see something new, pure, from the heart and completely independent. To be an actual scene revival, we need someone to really revive it. And that's exactly what I found.

Boys and girls, cats and squirrels, meet the musician you've all been waiting for. Edie. This is the music project of @xx-fangz-up-2006-xx who I've been mutuals with for some time now, even back on old accounts of mine as well. Back in May of this year on the 11th, Edie put out a demo on her YouTube channel, Edie! At The Disco. The song is called “You Left Me”. It's a song about an unfaithful partner leaving her for someone else who'll likely have a similar experience. This demo was very rough but still full of heart. It was actually quite refreshing to hear.

A post on Tumblr revealed that Edie intended on writing more material. Originally Edie planned on making a full length album, but Edie instead settled with an EP set to come out a couple of months later. On October 24th she put up a new single called “Genuine Tears” and a remastered version of “You Left Me.” Although remastered, the independent, lo-fidelity quality vibe is still present. It just felt more... complete this time around. Then finally on November 3rd, the EP "Made With Blingee" came out. It featured “You Left Me,” “Genuine Tears,” and two new songs called "I Can See You In The Fog" and "Dream Person." Attached to the EP is this description:

"This EP is all my bottled negative emotions about people that i've had stored up in me for a very long time. All dressed up in pink, glitter and kandi, ready to kill you with a Hello Kitty knife. I hope you enjoy."

I don't think I could sum up Edie's music any better than she did herself but I’ll do my best to describe what I heard. It's very 2000s emo inspired but also reminiscent to independent MySpace pop music like The Perfect Measure, early Never Shout Never, or November Blessing and from my personal observations, even a bit of a Midwest Emo vibe to it. On the poppier side, mind you. Think The Juliana Theory or The Promise Ring. It sounds very humble and non-pretentious. It's stripped down, heartfelt music at it's finest and something I don't really see a whole lot of people trying to make anymore. A lot of the time these days, especially in mainstream music, people overproduce their music to insane amounts to but with Edie the attention is carefully and lovingly placed on the music and the lyrics, making it very down to earth and relatable instead of generic radio-fare. Genuinely good music sounds good even if it’s recorded on a potato and played with Fisher-Price instruments. Sometimes I tell people that I don't like pop music but that's actually not completely accurate of me. I like pop music when it's done RIGHT, and I really feel like this is an example of it being done right, done originally, and most importantly done for the right reasons.

What makes her music really unique is absolutely the quality of it. The songs are purposefully very minimal production-wise with a sort of Lo-Fi/Bedroom Pop vibe. It really helps to drive home the emotive aspects and the relatability. She's absolutely sold me on that because it works so great. The whole EP sounds like it was made by a mid-late 2000s emo-scene girl which was kinda the whole point of this EP in the first place. I feel like that's another goal met. It really does feel like a snapshot from a completely different time. It's a homage to a past era without being just a carbon copy of what other people were doing. I really feel like Edie has a ton of potential and a strong start. I'd love to see her make more music, perhaps even a full album someday.

I really hope you guys not only go listen to her music on Bandcamp but you actually buy the EP to support Edie monetarily. I think it's very important to support independent artists and with music this good it's so worth it. I’d really love to see where she goes from here. Edie, I sincerely want to thank you for introducing “ediecore” to the world and I hope this isn't the end of you musical journey.

Bio: Just in time for Halloween! This isn't exactly and obscure artist but still a little bit unsung in the scemo/scenecore community in my humble opinion. Snow White's Poison Bite is the baby of Allan Jeremy Cotterill, known best by his stage name Jeremy 13th. Jeremy was born in the UK but moved to Finland when he was six years old. There he met Juuso Puhakka (screamed vocals), Tuomo Korander (lead guitar), and Teemu Leikas (drums) and formed the band all the way back in early 2006. In 2008 bassist Jarkko Penttinen joined. All lyrics were written by Jeremy 13th. Together they released their first demo in 2008, self titled featuring four songs of emotional intensity, beautiful fairytale-themed lyrics, passionate energy and cruel, chaotic riffs.

Snow White's Poison Bite signed a contract with a record label called Poko Records in early January 2009 and released their first EP, "Drama Through Your Stereo". The sound was a little more pop-punk friendly but still held all of the passion and emotive qualities of the previous release. It's a fantastic EP worth checking out if you find it online. Also in 2009 (May) opened for Alesana in Helsinki. Juuso left in late 2009 because of personal and musical disagreements. The band continued into 2010, signing with Sound Of Finland to put out a fun, catchy, campy album called "The Story of Kristy Killings. The Story of Kristy Killings sorta tells the story of a girl named Kristy. She kills people. This album is like a mix of the 2010s post hardcore/metalcore sound with Michale Graves era misfits infused in it's veins with some killer singles like Valentine's Doom, The End Of Prom Night, and of course Kristy Killings.

On May 5th, 2011 Tuomo, Jarkko, and Teemu left the band and forced the band to cancel their remaining tours. Jeremy 13th was the only remaining member. In 2013 the new lineup signs to Victory Records and puts out "Featuring: Dr. Gruesome And The Gruesome Gory Horror Show." The reviews for this album were favorable, still being a fantastic mix of post hardcore and pop punk with that horror-edge to it. This is probably the band at it's most campy and that's not necessarily a bad thing. The songs are all very catchy and fun to listen to, and a great soundtrack for an emo-punk kid's Halloween alongside AFI, Alkaline Trio, or Aiden. It's a charismatic release and worth a listen. The song Zombie Romance actually features Michale Graves from the 90s incarnation of the Misfits, which I personally find pretty freaking cool.

Unfortunately the band officially disbanded in 2018, but is being succeeded by a project of Allan Cotterill's called TH13TEENTH. Allan also had a solo project under his full name where he released a song called The End Of You And Me (Riley), which was also pretty good. If you're interested in what Allan's doing these days, go take a look at TH13TEENTH, but definitely DO NOT skip out on Snow White's Poison Bite. The efforts, hard work, and sacrifices of Allan, Tuomo, Jarkko, and Teemu bleed right through the stereo when you put any of these songs on. This is a solid recommendation from me to you, especially this time of year.

Artist Name: These Hearts Genres: Post Hardcore, Easycore, Metalcore, Pop Punk, Emo Pop, Christian Hardcore, Melodic Hardcore Similar Artists: A Day To Remember, Taking Back Sunday, Fight Fair, Four Year Strong, Me vs Hero, Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!, Can't Bear This Party, Set Your Goals, New Found Glory, Sleeping With Sirens, Pierce The Veil, From First To Last, We Are Defiance, Four Letter Lie Bio: I've been listening to this next band quite a lot recently. When I'm not teetering on the edge of everything I've been blasting this like I'm being paid to do it. These Hearts has been, and I can say this 100% honestly, the very best thing I've listened to in a while because of what it's done for my mood. I actually discovered a new subgenre of Post Hardcore because of these guys when I first discovered them. It's called "Easycore." Now at first glance it seems like an elitist phrase created by Fugazi and Husker Du loving snobs who don't like sharing the term Post Hardcore with anything in skinny jeans and swoopy hair but it actually isn't all that bad of a term. It's essentially the crossbreed of Post Hardcore, Metalcore, and Pop Punk which just so happen to be some of my three favorite things. If you're not familiar with this type of music, I feel like this along with Fight Fair are very good introductions to the style. Now, onto the band themselves. The band got started all the way back in the magical musical year of 2007 in Fargo, North Dakota. The original lineup consisted of Ryan Saunders as the lead vocalist, Daryl Van Beek on guitar, Isaih Folk on drums, and Skyler Patzer on Bass. Tom Westerholm would join them as a guitarist in 2008. Also in 2008 was their first independent release, a gorgeous EP called Mistakes and Second Takes that came out on September 16th. This EP contains the right amount of post hardcore intricacies and guitarwork, speed, screams, with all of the catchiness of Pop Punk. I'm not going to lie though, some of Ryan's vocals on this release is a bit of an aquired taste but they will either grow on you or you'll appreciate the growth he has in releases after this. His voice is somewhere between Sonny Moore and Kellin Quinn on the "I-don't-know-how-he-can-hit-that-note-o-meter". It's still a solid release with a nice piano interlude and some fantastic songs such as She'd like To Wear The Pants, But She Can't Fit Into Mine, the title track which felt like if Taking Back Sunday was a little more hardcore, and ending strong with Hats Off For Discontentment. In 2009 Skyler leaves the band and Kyle Colby joins as lead guitarist and backing vocalist. This year is when they put out a two track demo called the "Nada Demo." Somewhere around this time, the band was signed to Victory Records. Greg Gentzkow becomes the new bassist for the year of 2010 but it later replaced by Tyler Rice in 2011. On June 21st, 2011, the band puts out their first studio album Forever Ended Yesterday. With strong songs on this record like Apology Rejected, Denial Is Not Just A River In Egypt, Romans 15, Are You Mad?, and Live To The Point Of Tears, this also features a studio version of She's Like To Wear The Pants which is even better than the original. This album also has perhaps one of the sweetest songs I've ever heard, Thinking In Terms Of Two. Just go listen to it and feel the feels. In 2012 they put out the Elephant In The Room EP which features Denial and a new track called The Inconvienience along with some acoustic tracks. There are many faith-based elements to the lyrics of These Hearts, as they were a Christian hardcore band. I feel like it's worth mentioning at this point that although they were a Christian band, they're probably some of the coolest types of Christians ever and it's never overbearing or judgemental. It's overt and proud, but not toxic. I felt like saying that since sometimes religion can be a bit of a sore subject with some people who listen to hardcore music, especially those who were raised in Conservative environments. There's nothing toxic about These Hearts, in fact it's totally encouraging and positive if anything. I consider myself someone of faith so music like this really makes me happy, but I feel like non-Christians can enjoy These Hearts just as much. In 2013 they'd put out Yours To Take on July 19th before disbanding, but not before being a breakthrough release upon the Billboard magazine charts, peaking at No. 36 on the Christian Albums chart and 33 on the Heatseekers Albums chart. By this point Ryan's vocals improved greatly and so did the musicianship. The easycore sound on this album are absolutely killer with all of the speed and catchiness you'd ever want. Whenever I've been down (which I have been a LOT as of late by the way) I've listened to These Hearts. It's been great driving music but even greater singing into my hairbrush music. I'm definitely proud to admit that I'm a massive fan of this band and if you give them a chance, I doubt they'll disappoint you. EDIT: Tristan had originally taken this post down after harassment from another user regarding the problematic things that Ryan Saunders has done in the past. (He has since apologised though apparently) I'd just like to let everyone know that both me and Tristan do not condone or excuse the actions of Ryan Saunders. Nor do we support his questionable political views. This post was made purely to appreciate the music the band had created, while separating the art from the artist. I'd like to make a disclaimer that in a few future posts I'll potentially be covering artists who may have done problematic things. Whether I'm aware of it or not, if I know an artist is really problematic I will indeed clarify it in the post about them. If I don't know if they're problematic, please message me privately (in a polite way) and I can add a disclaimer like this one. Remember that if I cover a problematic artist, I'm purely doing a post to appreciate the talent of their music or other members who've worked with them and not to condone their bad actions. I hope you guys understand. Anyway... go check out the discography for These Heart's music down here.

Artist Name: 1-800-ZOMBIE

Genres: Electronica, Chiptune, 8-Bit, Punk Rock, Electropunk, Hip Hop, Nintendocore(?)

Similar Artists: Atom & His Package, Fizzy Dino Pop, Nickasaur!, Girljoy, Robot Goes Here, Talk To Animals

Bio: Coming across these next artists was a lot like tripping over what you soon discover is the cup used to catch Christ's blood at the crucifixion, the Holy Chalice of Joseph of Arimathea, the cup used at the last supper itself the HOLY FUCKING GRAIL. That is is what this next duo is. They're the Holy Grail. We can all go home because these two won the entire internet. No I'M NOT BEING SARCASTIC THIS IS AZALEA BEING 100% GENUINE RIGHT NOW. THIS IS UNDILUTED VINTAGE SCENE, cartoonishness, randomness, and nerdiness at it's finest.

1-800-ZOMBIE consists of two friends from Keller, Texas, named Robin (Fresh Prince) and Aimee (JazzyJazz). They became a music duo in 2005 and wanted to try something strange and new. They went for sort of a strange mix of hip hop, punk, and 8-bit electronic music and I have to say that the orgy of these influences really produced something strangely cohesive and enjoyable. The sheer amount of nerdy-sceneness is pure and refined and turned into a delicious ice cream cone of rawr XD LOL random wonder. I wish I'd only known about these two sooner because this might very well be my new life-blood.

Their discography is pretty small. Their first EP was released in May of 2006 on their MySpace blog and was called "All She Got Was A Bloody Nose." After two more years, they released via Aimee's own Siamese! Records a full length album called "Holy Shit!" They also put out three singles called "Sirens, That Lady Is A Bush" and "XXYY." That's pretty much the end of the band after this point, but Aimee had a solo project called Talk To Animals which I'm gonna have to check out after finishing this.

Will 1-800-ZOMBIE ever make a comeback? I don't know. Probably not. Personally I'm well beyond satisfied with the handful of songs I discovered that anymore might bring me to the point of a deathgasm. They've genuinely brought me so much joy and I hope sharing these with you brings you some joy too. Please go look them up on YouTube, and maybe even drop them a line over on their Twitter.  It seems they're still sorta active.

Bio: Sometimes great bands only have less than a handful of material out before they disband, but that doesn't make the songs any less enjoyable. Today's band is To The Last Bullet, from Fort Collins and Loveland, Colorado. They began in October of 2008 and consisted of members Kyle Mindeman (lead guitar), Chin (drums), Mike (bass), Dan (vocals), and Kody (guitar). I wasn't able to locate surnames for most members but I did find their nicknames on the Wayback Machine archive of their MySpace page. Danimal (Dan), Kizzlestixxx (Kyle), Chin Chilla (Chin), Mac Attack (Mike), and Shred (Kody). Infinitely cooler way to be identified in my humble opinion.

The members all came together from other bands, Averly, Veronica's Last Breath, Olypmus Is Burning, and Cordial Cherries (all of which I can find no trace of). They had some sucesses in their day, for instance winning a perfect score for a Project Independant competition for a 60 day headlining tour and $5,000. They made a name for themselves in the local For Collins metal scene with stellar songs like Dance In A Madhouse, Slaughter Has A Silent "S", and Fed Through A Woodchipper. I think Dance has to be one of my favorites because of the clean vocals, which are uncommon in deathcore songs. The song in general has a very well thought out and melodic nature to it that really sets it apart but doesn’t lack the speed and aggression of contemporaries either. It’s really worth a listen, so click one of the links below to check this song out. All four of their known songs are enjoyable but Dance is hands down the most unique sounding one. It makes me wish there was more material to cover but unfortunately it doesn’t look like that’ll ever happen. To The Last Bullet are no longer together which is really unfortunate, and they probably won’t ever come back.

I wish I could find more info on the band but unfortunately I think anything I could find is long gone from the internet, or at least hasn't seen the light of day since the late 2000s. They had a website but none of the pages are accessible anymore. The best glance I got was their 2 MySpace archives. You can tell from the each member's listed influences, hell even from just listening to their music itself, that these guys were well versed, talented, and had a lot of potential. I'm not sure if any of the former members are still making music but if they are, give them a listen and maybe drop them a line about enjoying To The Last Bullet. For me, deathcore music was at first a real acquired taste but this band along with Suicide Silence, BMTH’s first album, and Job For A Cowboy helped me a lot when getting into the genre. If you’re a fan of all of those three things (or even just one) you’ll probably find something to enjoy from the few songs that exist by To The Last Bullet.

Bio: Before we begin, I feel like I should note that if if vulgar, NSFW lyrics are not your thing, you might find some of (not all, just some) this musician's material offensive and this might not be the the thing for you. Listener's discretion is advised.

Jakewolf is a proudly diabetic musician (seriously, it was on all of his MySpace pages wtf) who's been around online since around 2008, the golden year of Scene. You might recall him as that one emo-scene boy who catfished you on MySpace back then along with Andy Sixx, Alex Evans, and Cameron Ugh. Well today we're talking about the real Jakewolf, or at least the stuff I could find after doing my best to thoroughly research him.

He's been based in Austin, Texas and Providence, Rhode Island, has been in several bands including Gentlemen, Pillar of Autumn, and The Same Last Name. He's been making music since his teens and started getting notoriety for his relationship with Kiki Kannibal (yes, that Kiki Kannibal) and his Crunkcore music similar to the likes of Dot Dot Curve :) and Brokencyde. I couldn't find a whole lot of personal details on him, his relationships (at least anything I could make 100% sense of), etc. so most of what I have to work with here is his discography, all of which can be found on his Bandcamp.

His early crunkcore era, or as I like to call it, "Fuckin' Ballin' days" isn't anything spectacular but not necessarily skip-able either because of scene nostalgia reasons. Jakewolf made his music completely independently, creating beats with the program GarageBand and tended to rap about the typical crunkcore stuff. Sex, women, sex with women, getting CRUNK. Lot of "bitches," lot of screams, the usual formula. Maybe one of the most unique things about Jakewolf's music was his high voice, which many haters noted sounded like a 12 year old boy. Now I personally was reminded of Dib from Invader Zim, which is like 200 Scene Points. Just picture Dib rapping She's Number 72 and you'll have a spectacular image in your head. You're welcome!

My dumb jokes aside, I actually sorta enjoy this old material from a nostalgic perspective. Ballin' and Gangzta Azz Jamz get me in a hell of a scene mood, but Gangzta Azz Jamz actually marks growth for Jakewolf from his first album. The screams felt less generic and gimmicky and more emotive. If you listen to his single, The D-A-D In "Dead" I don't think you'll avoid crying just a little bit when listening to the gut-wrenching heartbroken and angry vocals set to melancholy beats. Some of his covers are also worth checking out, including both The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot by Brand New but also The Curse of Curves by Cute Is What We Aim For, which he does in his own unique format. The next big step for Jakewolf was a major sidestep project, My Heart Is A Harpsichord.

My Heart Is A Harpsichord is an emotional, expressive masterpiece without bravado, without ego, but full of heart. Originally a side-project separate from "JakewolfCrunk," it was also Jakewolf's first album that was a major deviation in style. There's no hyperlust-lyrics set to poppy GarageBand beats in this. It's just his guitar, softly spoken word, agonizingly desperate sounding clean vocals and occasionally screamed vocals.It's one of the finest indie releases I've ever heard and a major step forward for Jakewolf. That Dirty Album is pretty much a return to his usual crunkcore style but it wouldn't be long before he'd start experimenting with a more experimental and stripped down sound again.

After That Dirty Album came Apple, which was another gorgeously raw and emotive release akin to My Heart Is A Harpsichord. If you're only going to listen to one song from this album, please let it be Most Statues Have Beards, This One Just Has A Gnarly Stache. This album is blessed and that song especially is. Next was Punk, which was rather... well, Punk! True to his roots as a punk rock kid for the first half, the other half is more of a mix of lo-fi hip hop and alternative indie music. The album is deceivingly eclectic because of this. It's a truly fascinating record to listen to.

After that, All I Do Is $cream About Money comes out and is true to his name. It's highly inaccurate to call this another return to crunkcore, because it's a lot less formulaic, party-like and generic and favors a more experimental approach. It's aggressive rather than poppy, chaotic and nauseating in the best possible way.

Sunflower feels unabashedly angry, hateful, and violent. It's eerie and horror inspired (not in a super corny Horrorcore way) and a vast departure from anything else Jakwolf made, recounting violence, murder, expressing racism and sexism, it's clearly from a very villainous character's perspective and was genuinely uncomfortable to listen to, it might not be for everyone. Here's Your New Album is another lo-fi acoustic release with many eclectic influences and experimentation. You might've noticed I've been using that word a lot but there really isn't a better phrase to describe Jakewolf's music. Finally, there is Homes Like Hollow Bones. No sucked dry of marrow, this is the funeral record for Jakewolf's persona, putting the name to rest. This album is eerie, melancholy, and altogether relaxing in only the most unsettling ways possible. The final death throes of Jakewolf are something to hear. Often sensitive and echoey, this album truly feels like an ending, and an ending so far away from where Jakewolf began.

I love progression and experimentation. Jakewolf's music has always been interesting to me because of where he started and where he went. This isn't actually the end of his music career though. He's still making music under ""Jacob", the name" on Bandcamp. He makes alternative/acoustic/indie rock with influences of blues and jazz. If you wanna check him out, definitely do. Whether it's his oldest or his latest efforts, I'm sure he'd be happy to know somebody's listening and enjoying.

Favorite Lyrics: "He said my heart melts into a puddle when I look at you. And I never knew, I never knew a love like this exists, it's true. I'm lovin you, I'm lovin you. You make me the happiest guy around the town. And all the places that we walk around, it's true, you do, you do. He says I want you wrapped around my heart." (Ben's Song)

Ellooooooo everyone! I thought I'd just give you all a lil bit of an update on what I'm doing right now. Since I haven't rly posted any articles yet.

I promise I 'am working on them, I'm just a little bit more behind than I'd like to be because school just started for me again and I'm already getting homework :p. This year is gonna be my hardest workload ever cause it's my second to last year of school, and that's when my exams will be at their most intense cause these results really matter when it comes to university entry. (Which I myself am trying to get.)

However, I do have things up and coming that will be posted soon. Right now I'm doing articles for Dear Whoever and Mozart Season as they were another couple of bands I had reference and material to work with. Both from Tristan and a lovely friend of his (who I will credit for all the info/references I have received when I publish the post.) after that, I plan on doing a Cobra Starship article cause I loveeeeeee them and I have heaps of knowledge on their background and stuff. In between all of these articles, I also plan on posting a huge playlist that will contain one song from every single artist that has been covered on emo-scene-fm and it will update every time there's a new article.

Anywho... that's all I guess! I hope you're all having a good night/day wherever you are.
