Oceans Ate Alaska's first full length dropped this year and it's excellent. Give that a listen. As for Motionless In White it all honestly depends on your taste since all of their albums slightly differ. My favorite album of theirs personally is Infamous, but they haven't necessarily put out a bad album if you ask me.
For MIW- Creatures: heaviest/most metal of all the albums they have out+a universal fan favorite. Infamous: happy medium of Creatures and Reincarnate. Kind of their breakthrough record. Reincarnate: more industrial. Sort of mixed fan reception but really successful album overall. Honestly as a pretty big MIW fan you can't go wrong starting anywhere. I'd start with Infamous though since it's the happy medium album and it allowed them time to mature since their first album.
Found MIW set posted on one of their rigs on the Warped Instagram: Reincarnate Devil's Night Break The Cycle Abigail 570 Generation Dead Immaculate Misconception Volumes Setlist at AT&T Center, San Antonio Volumes full setlist as well.

Emarosa only has one album with their current singer (called Versus) so I'd suggest listening to that. If you don't have time to listen to the whole thing, "A Hundred Crowns," "But You Won't Love A Ghost," and "Same Tight Rope" show off their different styles pretty well. Their new album comes out soon, so if you like Versus, go ahead and check that one out too.
Kind of late on this but with setlists finally creeping in I can be prepared for what the bands will play and adjust a top 15 accordingly. 1. Sum 41 2. Issues 3. I See Stars 4. Yellowcard 5. Secrets 6. State Champs 7. New Found Glory 8. Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! 9. The Color Morale 10. The Story So Far 11. Knuckle Puck 12. Like Pacific 13. Four Year Strong 14. The Word Alive 15. Assuming We Survive May try to see Less Than Jake and Crown The Empire especially if I am going to two dates this year.
Here is my up to date rankings: Must See 1. Sum 41 2. Yellowcard Really Want To See 3. Set It Off 4. Falling In Reverse 5. New Found Glory Want To See 6. Less Than Jake 7. State Champs 8. We The Kings 9. Against The Current 10. Ghost Town Will See If Nothing Else 11. Sleeping With Sirens 12. Avion Roe 13. Bad Seed Rising 14. Four Year Strong 15. The Maine 16. Tonight Alive 17. Reel Big Fish

That date would be brutal for me with conflicts. The Sum 41/I See Stars conflict and CNCC/Issues ones make me sick.
This schedule would honestly destroy my top 12. Conflicts with KP/TCM/Like Pacific, Cane Hill/Real Friends, MIW/TSSF, and Whitechapel/Issues/C!NCC!.
The one positive of today's schedule would be that I would be able to beat the traffic since most people would be at the FIR set at the end of the day.
Only conflict today would have been Masked Intruder / We the Kings, but I could easily split that. I know it's going to get difficult once 3OH!3, Good Charlotte and Atreyu join the tour.
