a tribute to the local scene

ok, admittedly, i've been slacking off on going to shows. but i'm a 5'3 teenage girl and probably shouldn't risk going to hardcore/adjacent shows alone. anyway, here's some emo/adjacent band recommendations! i haven't seen all of them live (yet) and i haven't completely checked them all out (yet), but i'll get on it someday... one of these days...

• Irrevocable
• poetryonherskin
• Warpten
• The Mind is a Terrible Thing
• shed
• Walktrip
• TNG
• North Sentinel
• Seance and the Kleptokids (this one's cheating cuz i've only seen their MCR covers when i saw them at a cover night. but i wanna put them here cuz their frontman's on mcrtwt and it makes me giggle everytime i remember. like, damn, the vocalist of one of my local bands is on twitter talking about frank iero's tits or whatever.)
• TBD: MOREEE adjacent stuff that i luurrrvvv
• here's a fun little spotify playlist with more local acts!

some older bands (mall emo era, pop punk type stuff. sorry i don't necessarily like all of these, but they need a shout too):

• Typecast
• Urbandub
• Cueshe
• FRANCO
