Its the first like official release from a small emo band that was around like 20+ years ago

They were in Chicago iirc and did local shows but never toured or were very successful but a lot of these songs are rad

@saveme

Vox is an emo music fan?!

Definitely

Emo shows

But I haven't been able to listen much for a few years now because my situation has been really bad and dangerous

But had to jump in when I saw this thread, gonna check summerleague now

will check after work

That's wassup

i actually did listen to a few songs from this album yesterday

i really like it so far, gonna finish it later i added it to my library

Formed in 1997, Chicago's Summerleague was formed by best friends Matthew Brendan Clark (bass) and Sean Kelly (guitar/vocals), who quickly spotted the tapping foot of Dave Robison (drums) while caddying, asking him to drum, because....he 'must' be a drummer. Oh, he was. The band quickly and quietly developed a sincere form of heartfelt and structured emo focusing on the poetics of the genre, both musically and lyrically, in direct response to what Clark and Kelly both felt were slipping or lacking in most local and even national emo bands of the time. "No more of that sloppy, half-assed s***. Write songs that have intentionality and play them well." The sincerity of purpose led to a lack of desire to 'get out there', and pretty soon you ended up with a gem of a band that nobody knew existed, and flew under the radar until disbanding in 2001 after moving together downstate to Charleston, IL (where the booze and the books took over). This untimely but in many ways inevitable demise left a load of new, unrecorded material to the ether, but more so their catalog of recordings which were previously released, except for a limited CDEP on Forge Again Records and various demos. Their sound can be connected to Sunny Day Real Estate, Jawbreaker, and Texas is the Reason while lyrically, Clark's writing drew on Blake Schwarzenbach and apocalyptic visionary poet William Blake in equal measure. The band played regularly in and around Chicago, but made no attempt to tour, resulting in a dense, developed, yet lost body of work that has been long overdue for a proper release. This digital release collects the complete recorded output of the band, spread out over 4 proper studio sessions and 2 DIY basement studio sessions between 1998 and 2001.

@Bruises was kind of shook to see how long the album was so I looked them up on Bandcamp and found that

Love it, everything from how much they wanted to make focused and sharp music to everything about recovering the music from obscurity (I think a lot about all lost media/artists that are never heard of)

Got me to look up William Blake too

A fourth of the way through so far and the music is great too, thank you for the fantastic recommendation

Thats how I found out it was an old band lol

I found it randomly clicking through apple music and I listened before I looked them up and said "wow they really like perfected that old late 90s emo sound for a new band" to myself

Then I looked it up and found out and it made way more sense

bro what is this situation you are in you can’t even listen to emo music

It's so much I can say to answer this but I'll try to keep it short and then if you want to know more you can ask:

But I'm in really bad health to the point that basically anything that requires to me be conscious is extremely difficult to impossible

And it's been that way for years now and especially bad these last two because I've basically had no human contact

Also I only got three to five months to figure out how I'm going to keep an apartment because the covid money I saved up + rent assistance isn't going to get me through another year and I can't go home for various reasons so that's been weighing on me heavy, always feels like death is close and the only way I escape that most days is when I go to bed at the end of the day (can't work because I'm disabled if that's not clear)

I've needed a care taker for three years - had homies doing a lot of that for me for the first half of 2021 but I got f***ed up by one of em

Been going hard trying to get better and trying to get a care taker but it's hard ASF and I'm doing it all solo. I won an appeal at the end of May and flipped the state's denial of my first request for one but now I gotta find one and I'm just suffering big time in the meanwhile

But yeah, the first part has most of your answer. Can't even use headphones until I get some help here and have to listen to everything off my phone speakers so better that and just how hard each day is and has been for years now a lot of times I just can't listen to music

But I be trying hard as hell to even with how busted my setup and life is which is why I'm Always so thankful for this site and everyone here

damn now i feel bad for

wtf hopefully u get better soon man i didn’t know s*** was this crazy for u

You're good brother, that's just knowledge you didn't have

Appreciate you even hearing that out, I got dawgs that I've known since middle school that won't even ask and go quiet when I even mention it in the slightest

and yeah it's scary bad that's why all I got is pain bars whenever I write and why I really mean every single bit of love and thanks I show to everyone on here

bro posting christian screamo

Nothing more emo than dying for your sins.
