The first of a new weekly series of short (3 song) mixes of new (or old) DIY emo, punk, and indie.  Theres been a lot of great girl-fronted diy indie lately, I'd only really consider Forth Wanderer's to be emo (twinkly!).  


Chapstick Island by Layer Cake (Denton Tx, 2014)

Some Dentonites (Dallas's College town) heard Haim last year and decided to become a band? Apparently they've already broke up, but this has some moments. 

Sip Neigh by Forth Wanderers (Jersey, 2014)

YES TO ALL OF THIS. BREAK DOWN THE CRUTCHFIELD HEGEMONY. 

Paia by Wild Ones (Portland, 2014)

Fucking Kevin at Top Shelf somehow pulling this out of his hat. 



A League of Their Own - Triple Play #1

My bloghouse remix of The Promise Ring's Red and Blue Jeans

Nothing Feels

My first track, crazy ass tropical bmore shit. 2006. Anyone want the stems? a moombahton remix of this would slay. 

Flip Flops

Triple Play is a "weekly" "mix" of 3 punk/emo songs. 

3 of the better #emorevival releases of this summer include some b-type male relationship agency that I've found refreshing and is kind of opposite of the stereotypical "emo" lyrical thread, hence a defensive shift. 

Toothpick by Night Trip (Philly, 2014)

This isn't emo, but part of that new 90smodernrockrevival thing happening (I SEE YOU BEACH SLANG).  I came across this demo totally randomly (bandcamp tag: philadelphia) and its been in heavy heavy rotation for me since. 

An Hour Pissed by Free Throw (Nashville, 2014)
http://countyourluckystars.bandcamp.com/album/those-days-are-gone
ON TOUR WITH EMPIRE EMPIRE RIGHT NOW, GO SEE THEM. I saw them on their first tour with Dikembe this winter and thought they were a total copycat mess, but with their LP its really hard to deny the lead singer's voice. 

Janesville from Space by Spider Mansion (Wisconsin, 2014)
http://spidermansion.bandcamp.com/
This guys been putting out piano covers of emo tracks for the past couple years on facebook and they're fucking bonkers good. He's finally doing his own thing and he could seriously be the #emorevival guy that ends up breaking through to popular tweeny-bopper real world shit.
