AEN is back

Im back, I created a instagram account the username is "some_angry_emo_kid" (profile photo is a insert from Toru Okada's LP) and in the instagram account I added a google drive link where I will slowly be uploading everything I had posted. I never got to post the rest of my CD collection so you will see a bunch of new stuff that I never got to post here and a couple of vinyl which is around 2-3 bands I think? something like that. Anyways check the account in the next day or 2. In a few hours I should start uploading music on their.

Revival

Almost done, got a new laptop and will be receiving a CD drive for the laptop in the next 2 days so I can start ripping the many CDs I have and I never got to share with you guys. I was thinking of creating a instagram and basically having a google drive file and link it up to the bio so everyone can simply download everything I post up on there. 95% of vinyl is complete and I believe I have all tapes ripped set up. All I need to do next is the countless of CDs I got. Yes CDs. Hopefully by the end of this week I have things rolling in and new links set up. If you barely found me well you are in luck because I am starting all of this a little differently. I will likely start off with easier to listen bands. It be a complete 180 to throw someone Heroin's discography you know. I have a couple of stuff you guys might hate me for but honestly most of the stuff I have is based on what I grew up with from either the internet in the last fm mid 00s or music from the 00s and early/mid 10's. I am not going to god damn listen to any new stuff. I was known for being that guy who likes the bands first 3 albums and that's fucking hell, theres plenty of reasons to explain why I do though its not often hahah. Anyways give me this whole week and I'll slowly start throwing you guys some free downloads based on my god damn entire collection of vinyl, tapes, and CDs (which in the recent years ive been gathering for the purpose of the quality and my time) Besides I want to be pretty open and not exclusive. Ive been on both sides of the fence. Then you have friends showing you some Equal vision album you end up liking because it catchy and it sticks to you (many many albums I would like to dedicate to friends that showed me many incredible bands, even the ones I had mocked and teased a little when I was 16)

So why Cds?
I didnt necessarily grew up with vinyl, I only happen to grow up one day as a adult and and then one day I got a job and started buying some of this vinyl I got here. Though remember I only happened to have grabbed mostly specific things I always wanted on vinyl (with many remarkable "no other way to listen to this band" on vinyl) I had grown up more to cassettes and CDs. It all started when I was 10 sometime in 2002 (whatever wave of emo it was right there, besides I was 10. fuck else I know besides when your sisters favorite CDs are all from 2002 oven fresh music video bands and your moms Suicidal tendencies, Slayer and Metallica albums. I think ill start off with a good couple of "emo" CDs from the era I first heard this wave of emo though I consider it pop punk but you know what, everyone has to take baby steps. I'll continue back to some flashbacks of 90s emo/hardcore and the underground 00s emo. Besides CDs are the easiest I can easily rip them without having to listen to the entire album. unlike vinyl ripping that takes a lot of time.

How about those digital mp3 bands?
I dont think ill include any of the Myspace bands (even though I grew up to most of them) I will give Thisendlessbreath whatever myspace mp3s I got.

vinyl? I do think I will start with the CDs due to being the best quality and easiest though the most delicate. Then again theres many bands that were only on vinyl and not CD which I also happen to have. I will slowly introduce the vinyl are obscure/rare released slowly. Though I know thats the stuff a lot of you are waiting for I will try my best to bring all of them as quickly as possible. The vinyl is going to come in just be patient with some of this stuff since I will have to rip a couple of the records again (10 or 12 so it isnt many). I dont think I plan on buying any vinyl in the near future I feel like I have most on what I always wanted.

How about cassettes?
Yes I have a couple, nope not going to buy any of those. I honestly was more of a fan boy of the off cloud nine and Plastic smile records. No one else did it better to this fucking day. Im not fucking with any other label that releases tapes. Nolans music was half of my college stuff. Unfortunately I always had bad experience swith other labels so I tried to stsy away from cassette. There will be plenty of mentions and downloads for the ones I got so youll get plenty of tape action as well.

2021

A bunch of these links are dead and I havent had time to reupload everything in some google drive file. Ive been busy with work, making music (Not emo or any of that rock shit hahaha) and watching a bunch of Jackie chan DVDs with my girlfriend while working on a bunch of new tracks on my DJ. I do have all this stuff in a drive.

Jackie Chan can act, do his own stunts and sing!! He is the man!
I have to buy a new laptop and get to work with all of that in the near future (meaning sometime this year) Ill even get on some of the stuff I never got to post here. I honestly didnt think people would even bother keeping track of the dead links. Im glad people are into that screaming shit as some people politely would say it to me. Though I hope I have some updated links by summer. I wont be updating the youtube channel for a long while. Im currently putting more of my time on making some Japanese sampled house influenced type of form of music on a youtube channel.
Anyways this is as much of a update there is for now, rumble in the bronx is the shit!

I might get back I don't know

Recently I stumbled upon more obscure records and stuff. I don't have social media anymore and I have zero contact with just about everything and everyone else. I've pretty much been a ghost since. There's a lot of stuff I never got to post and there's now even more shit I have that I think would be a real bummer not to spread around the internet. There's a lot of good music that is never archived in the internet still. I thought by now there would have been more blogs checking the 11k emo records from the 90s listed on discord. Might post these as YouTube's rather than here so check up on my channel as well. I'll keep anyone who still views this this though. P.S I want to listen to all those fucking Join'r albums

Drowning with our anchors

Well shit I am back with a fresh start. After being absent I figured a way to post stuff on here still. So I basically will start taking my laptop to my office. From now on I will start doing that on here. I also want to add that I probably won't use mediafire for a while. My works wi fi doesn't allow me so I will use google drive instead. Drowning with our anchors was one of those screamo bands that have very long songs. Not to worry they are not all about those slow post rock bullshit breakdowns. If anything it reminds me a little of Funeral diner. They were a band from the poop city of San Francisco. The band lasted from 2007-2010 if i am not mistaking releasing very little material, a 3 song demo called Dark funeral in a gloomy file, a 7" single, a split 7" with a band from Mexico called Maladie and finally the closest full length release called You can never go home (Basically has 2 re-recorded songs from the 3 song demo). I dig the LP even thought for a 4 song LP its a little ridiculous to be a long play but then again Behind closed doors made a 2 song LP years ago. Breathing lessons 7" is basically one song split into 2 sides. Side A has the actual song while side B just has the whole long outro ending to the song. A little fucking weird and uneccessary to flip the 7" to side B but that is just me. It was recorded sometime in February '08 a few months later in the fall of that same year the band recorded the 4 song LP. Fuck man I don't have much else to say considering I am a little fried at the moment. The band wasn't a complete miss. I remember there was a few mentions when the LP was out but at the time there weren't mp3's or bandcamp stuff so I never bothered until 3 years ago I decided to buy a extremely cheap copy from BEAR records along with a cheap copy of Breathing lessons on discogs. The only record I am missing is the split but I am not all that crazy about hunting that one down. Good band with a short discography and long songs. I have no idea what these guys went on to afterwards also considering the band is from the US they had help from a label out in Europe (Same label that put out that Chino Horde discography 2xLP) I would have assumed the LP on DWOA would have been a US release, explains why it was a miss for me to get for so long. You will have some luck on discogs or some distro label.

Hiatus in the next 2-3 weeks

Got a lot to catch up on and I also got a lot of life to catch up. I won't be posting for a while until either late July or early August. It clearly doesn't mean I have ran out of shit. I still have a bunch of shit to post. In the meanwhile check all the bands I have uploaded as well as the other blogs I listed. David's blog Open mind is crushing it with modern bands I can't relate to anymore but I know a lot of you want to look for new bands his blog is the best for that. You can check homeboys This endless breath, there are like 3 new posts there recently from some obscure ass fuck bands I didn't even know about. Those 2 let alone are amazing. I keep getting a bunch of spam emails from DIY bandcamp labels. If you are reading this, I do not take requests (for the 100th time)

One listen=One person losing their virginity (Inside joke)

Rocketscience

A very short lived Indie/Emo band that didn't even have a final show, they simply disappeared in the way the band Her way did. The band put out 2 7"s in '96 one being a self titled and the other one as "2" the band sounds like a mixture of Goodbye, blue Monday/Anklebiter/Probably something Crank! A record company would release. Seems like something that could have been under one release instead like a 10" or all 4 songs on a 7". To be honest because both records are very identical it would have been more logical to do that. Some of the members went on to play in some other garage, psychedelic, power pop bands which I honestly didn't bother checking out. Rocketscience had something good going on. Shame it ended too soon.

Discography

Gila bend

From 1995-1996 this band was active in Chicago, they had released a self titled 3 song 7" accompanied with song on a compilation 7" called Emo Schmeemo all under the same label called Liberty park recordings. In 1996 the band released 3 songs on separate compilations one being part of Polyvinyl's compilation "Direction" One of the other compilations were part of the Ground rule double that had well known bands like Braid, The Promise ring, Mineral but also had actual good bands like Cinco de gatos, Orwell, Scout, The trigger Quintet, C-Clamp, Back of Dave, Shellac, Hubcap, etc. They were also part of the Oh do I love you 2xCD compilation. I feel like their discography being short it is hard to judge what was their best stuff since 7 songs came around. Gila Bend kinda reminds me of One hundred words for snow and Goodbye blue monday so if you like those 2 this one is a must.

Web of liberation EP

The debut of Nolan's newest project is here. Consists of 4 new songs (one being a re-recorded song from the HEAL records compilation) and as you know the money goes to a donation to animal sanctuaries. I'm not leaving any sort of download for this mainly for that reason but if you have been a fan of Iwontstopwonderinguntilyoustopbreathing, Flowers in gun barrels, Celestial being, XttadX, etc this is one to add to your collection. THe cassette is also being released as a 7" sometime June or July, be in the lookout for that!

Notaword

This band from Wisconsin I believe started playing in '97 this band is a rather softer "emo pop" which I found quite interesting. The first 2 7"s the band put out were not just the only thing they put on vinyl but they sound better than the bands first and only full length CD and final EP CD that were later released in '99 and '00. If you like Inside, The promise ring (early stuff) or shit like that in general you will like this one. I noticed that the band did not sticked to one label. All 4 releases were released in 4 different labels. The bands charm comes from their first 4 songs. The full length has some good songs but it's mostly forgotten especially for the bands final EP which just didn't stick out and did not draw any catch. I'll have to hear them again eventually.
