always knew their name because it reminded me of halifax which i jammed, never listened to them though
i mainly remember mike drumming for MCR after the bled broke up and he got kicked out for stealing from the band, i went to school with his cousins, small world.
I got bored and made a 2010 albums playlist on Spotify (not 2010s... just 2010). It includes two of the first bands mentioned in this thread (The Forecast and The Felix Culpa), as well as some other bands I haven't thought about in ages + staples of "the scene", so figured it was appropriate to share here. It's been fun throwing this on shuffle over the last week or so.
nice add with the graduate, sucks their first album isn't on Spotify, glad i still got my hard copy to jam! omni by minus the bear, such a good album. as i scrolled i was wondering where ICF & the audition were and they were there at the end haha two of my favorite releases from 2010, stacked list! your playlist made me think of my favorite releases that i didn't see on the list, i was bored, maybe some were on but this is my 2010 list, including most of your list too, maybe some of these releases you dont know and could check out ;) Abandon All Ships - Geeving Jamie's Elsewhere - The Said A Storm Was Coming His Statue Falls - Collisions Act As One - No Looking Back Believe You Me - For The Record Fight Fair - California Kicks Rust Belt Lights - These Are The Good Old Days In Her Own Words - Brand New Me Allister - Countdown To Nowhere Rufio - Anybody Out There The Black Pacific - Self Titled Stick To Your Guns - The Hope Division Carousel Kings - Speak Frantic Periphery - self titled Woe, Is Me - Number The Amity Affliction - Youngbloods Of Mice & Men - Self titled Us, From Outside - Inspired By The Threat Of Failure Parkway Drive - Deep Blue Ivoryline - Vessels Comeback Kid - Symptoms + Cures Your Demise - The Kids We Used To Be Close Your Eyes - We Will Overcome The Gaslight Anthem - American Slang Before Their Eyes - Untouchable Angels & Airwaves - Love (part one) LCD Soundsystem - This Is Happening Flobots - Survival Story Atmosphere - To All My Friends, Blood Makes The Blade Holy: The Atmosphere EP's Matt & Kim - Sidewalks Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin - Let It Sway Best Coast - Crazy For You Marina & The Diamonds - The Family Jewels 3OH!3 - Streets Of Gold Two Door Cinema Club - Tourist History The Naked And Famous - Passive Me, Aggressive You that was fun, have a great week!
I used Rate Your Music to create a "genre is or is influenced by pop punk and emo" chart but it obviously missed a few like Angels & Airwaves, so i'm definitely going to be adding a few of these to the playlist! I have a separate playlist that includes "all genres", which in my world is just adding indie rock, some hip-hop, and some pop. Glad you enjoyed it!
I randomly thought of Idiot Pilot this morning. Turned on "Last Chance" and man, do I miss these guys. They had such an interesting, promising sound. It's too bad their comeback album, Blue Blood, flopped hard in 2019.
Ten Underrated Albums From Victory Records That Will Make You Feel Like a Loser for Ignoring (thehardtimes.net)
Not speaking on how they were rated because I don’t frankly remember, but I love that album from The Audition. It’s been forever, so I might have to throw that on later
I just saw The Sleeping last night. Great set. Glad to see them again. Clearly a lot of people at the show only knew them from one song from Guitar Hero way back.
