"Sharing a previously undocumented live radio set & interview by short-lived post-Indian Summer project Hero. This set aired on Wednesday Night Live on KZSU on 12/4/96 and to my knowledge this band was previously unarchived. Hero featured members of Current, Calm, Indian Summer, among other bands. This is only known recording of the band’s existence.

Thank you Justin Lewis for the work of digging up this DAT recording and connecting me with this extremely special emo archival documentation. It is an honor to share this set on Sadder Star".

Emo Craig. We are all emo Craig. Halloween show with Dead wrong modern culture and duress. 10-16-26

Song of the day.

Appreciation post for Algernon, such an underrated band. :}

I can't afford to see shows often, and I live pretty far away from any of the typical stops, but I'm dying to see *someone*.

Picked up the Numero Group boxset on palisades green. Really great quality and nice to have all the tracks on vinyl finally.

The Power of Failing and Endserenading are both 2014 represses. 2LP, 45rpm coloured vinyl that I picked up when I saw them play in Camden way back in 2015.

February/MD ep I bought from Discogs during lockdown 6 years ago.

One Day When We Are Young is a really cool release with different acts talking about the influence of Mineral, plus 2 great new tracks.

Now that I have the boxset I'm tempted to sell the albums and the ep, I don't generally like having multiple versions of records. Not sure because the albums have interviews about each track inside the gatefold.

Will definitely keep the book though because the new tracks aren't in the boxset, and the book is interesting.

Hi! My friends and I are going to this interesting mixed bill show with YAAMC next weekend and was curious if anyone else in this subreddit from VA is planning to go?

what a great show tonight at underground arts - great openers in maty, euphoria again/dogwood tales, and bleary eyed. marietta absolutely killed it and i honestly think they sounded better tonight than when i saw them on their east coast tour. anyone else there tonight? what did you think?

i’m moving there from the west coast, i dont know anyone there but i love emo and would love to go see some cool bands at cool venues when i do arrive

Need help identifying whether these are authentic from the 90’s or modern boot if anyone can help?

I messaged the band and they said “The navy blue, yes. We did print and sell those back in the original days of the band. If memory serves, we may have also done a run on a burgundy colored shirt at some point.

That said, crank did a few reprints without our knowledge, so it is difficult to say which is which. The gray one may have been one of those reprints, as we never did a run of that color scheme ourselves.

Hope that helps!

-Jeremy (Mineral)”

I’ll get better…..lol

Not available on streaming, so i gave it a spin.

The full album is available on all streaming platforms and such where you can also find our self produced EP. This record is all about getting old, getting sober, getting divorced, and addressing your mental health. In other words, it’s a fucking bummer. Thanks for lending an ear!

Just moved to London after living in the US northeast for a while. Some good concerts but was wondering what the staples of this scene are?

Obv a lot of US bands don’t cross the pond due to costs, but any recommendations?

So far, have seen Basement and will see Greg Mendez, Vilagerr, Dead Butterflies, and Feeble Little Horse. Any other recommendations?

Edit: super excited to explore all your recs. If anyone wants more context on my taste: big fan of braid, title fight, my point of you, first day back, kind of like spitting, mobo

Genre: Emo, Midwest Emo, Grunge, Indie Rock, Post-Hardcore

FFO: Title Fight, Basement, Citizen, and heavier emo / emo-revival bands.

From: Orlando, Florida, USA

lemme know some of your fav song by them

title, essentially. more into the emoviolence and metalcore sounding screamo, but I can still get down to some midwest screamo. I think the last new screamo record I listened to was ostraca's disaster, and seeing that they dropped something new not too long ago has me wanting to get back into it and see what I've missed. Thanks in advance!

some other shit I like:

jerome's dream, gillian carter, love lost, iwsmoffy, yaamc, neil perry

I was thinking about this when realizing that Mineral's terrible cover of "Crazy" is all that stops from having only good songs. But Texas Is The Reason....legitimately all good songs! No bad ones at all.

Might be easier when they only have one album and a few other assorted tracks but still, they batted a thousand.

I've got a mint condition vinyl test pressing of Rainer Maria's 2017 S/T album straight from Polyvinyl. I won it in a contest years ago, and it's just not for me. I've spun it once, maybe twice. It comes with a certificate of authenticity.

I can ship to anywhere in the U.S. Please DM me if you're interested in buying for pictures and offers. Thanks!
