Why did I get Meet Me @ the Altar was a shitty screamo band that had been around for 20 years... who was I thinking they were lol

 

Were you able to find Tennis System anywhere? I’m not seeing it on Bandcamp or Spotify.

 

You Me at Six?

 

that could be it! It was definitely something with the wording of the band title that made me think of something pretty forgettable for way back in the day.

 

Some Hellogoodbye vibes from this.

 

He was brought up on early 2000's emo/screamo like Underoath and other scene bands in the same time period. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if he was also a Hellogoodbye fan!

 

Yeah, I can hear bits and pieces of other stuff, but HGB is the main one I hear, really liking this.

 

Gave it a listen after the HG mention. Glad I did - this is really good so far. The HG vibes are less than expected, but I can tell what you're saying at some parts.

 

The vocals (at least at times) and a lot of the melodies give me that vibe. A little bit in the instrumentation too.

 

The Killers, obviously, but everyone should listen to the new Kalie Shorr EP, which she made with Butch Walker and which sounds like the records he made in the early 2000s. Feel like anyone who liked the pop-punk-leaning stuff on the Olivia Rodrigo album would dig it.

 

These crunchy riffs and production elements on Meet Me @ The Altar remind me so much of Hit the Lights mixed with early Paramore. Great sounding EP!

 

Hahah, I blame the use of the “@“ sign.

I contend “Crosses” as being the worst offender of band name naming conventions. I believe they’re symbols, but on mobile they’re emojis. Lol

 

The new The Killers and Joey Cape albums are awesome!

 

great big pile of leaves all day.


also fuck the killers

 

Jungle album is awesome (indie/funk)

You got me into Kalie Shorr a few years ago, thank you again, and thanks for the EP reminder!!

 

CHVRCHES just released a beautiful cover of "The Killing Moon" (Echo and the Bunnymen) via Amazon Music here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09BW5VKVQ/?tag=absolutepunk-20

 

Meet Me @ the Altar is so good. I've listened multiple times so far today.

 

You weren't kidding about M.A.G.S. Why aren't more people talking about this one?

 

Not stealing meet me @ the altar's pop punk thunder today, cause that EP is pure awesomeness, but I also came across an EP from a band called Unwell, which is pretty good. They have a nifty pop punk cover of Fast Car on there.

 

It's baffling how they're able to cram so many catchy riffs, melodies and epic breakdowns into this little EP.

 

Oh, they will be…review is in the queue

 

After 8 years...A Big Pile of Leaves. Yes!

 

This M.A.G.S. record is insane. This has no business not being a smash hit around here

 

The M.A.G.S. record rules, great discovery
