Midwest Emo Revival

Here is a little sampler of a few great bands. Lately I've been getting into the whole Midwest Emo Revival bands. Here are a few of my favorite tracks.

Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate) - I Am a Snail, and You Are a Pace I Cannot Match

Joie de Virve - That;s the Hot Part

Castevet - Bike Notes

Perfect Future - From Me to You

Algernon Cadwallader - Serial Killer Status

If you like the old 90s emo like Mineral, Cap'n Jazz, and American Football, give these tracks a listen. Also, if you like the songs, support the artists ;)

Enjoy :)

Cap'n jazz isn't really revival band...they broke up years ago

@myguitardidyermom12 erm, they aren't in the video

And algernon is probably my favorite out of the emo revival bands. You forgot to add snowing. They were a BIG influence on the entire scene.

@ThePuddleJumpr yeah Snowing is awesome too. I was going to add them, but could only fit so much in one video. Also RIP snowing :c

I don't know Perfect Future but I'll check them out. I prefer emo bands with screaming-ish vocals to bands like Joie de Vivre and Mineral. I dunno, screaming just makes everything so much more dynamic and emotional. But bands like Empire! Empire! who pull off the same emotion with clean vocals have tons of respect from me. That E!E! album is fantastic. Nice video!

@JamesIsMyNamo2 They do some yelling in their songs. Not nearly as much as say Algernon or Cap'n Jazz. I just happened to clip a slower part of the song. It was sort of the defining moment of the track for me, so I thought I'd share it ;)

No doubt, this is about the best thing to happen to emo in a decade. I was there for the first wave and it was one of the most compelling musical experiences of my life. You young kids that like these bands, be sure to check out the godfathers: Christie Front Drive, Mineral, Sunny Day Real Estate, Texas it the Reason, Elliott...

[ManchesterDespute]

Empire Empire is no doubt the most underated band, kudos for having them haha

[camilolark]

Aire fresco para un genero mas que muerto. Sin duda lo mejor que ha podido pasar

[demoforest]

Good stuff, thanks for showing me these neat bands. Do you like hot water music or small brown bike?

[josh1gdc1]

ive got an extremely underated band for you all: Rockets and Blue Lights. go give them a listen and thumbs up if you loved them (not being a thumbs up whore, just trying to spread this beautiful band!)

[CanisMajorBand]

Count Your Lucky Stars shop is your friend.

[d1kiz]

Typo, it's "Joie de Vivre"

[whilwheaton]

i love how some of these bands blend with math rock and make beautiful music babies.

[Fanchus]

You guys should listen to Elliott, Mock Orange (90's era) and Houston, all very good fucking bands!

RIP Joie de Vivre
