Walter Schreifels, of Quicksand and Gorilla Biscuits fame, has reunited Rival Schools for seven shows this June, and Drowned In Sound reports that the post-hardcore band will have a follow-up to its one and only album, United By Fate, released in 2001. To celebrate Rival Schools' return, DIS has compiled a "Golden Age of Emo" list. Yes, apparently emo has a golden age, from 1997 to 2001, and here are its albums:
The Promise Ring, Nothing Feels Good
Braid, Frame and Canvas
The Get Up Kids, Something to Write Home About
Glassjaw, Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence
Small Brown Bike, Dead Reckoning
Thursday, Full Collapse
Hey Mercedes, Everynight Fire Works
Rival Schools »
That list is idiotic.
