'In Defense of the Genre': Best Punk & Emo Songs of August
"As we speak, BrooklynVegan is in the midst of rolling out a video series in which I discuss 20 emo (and emo-adjacent) albums that turn 20 this year, with one a day until the countdown ends on September 6. Make sure you're following us on Instagram, TikTok, X/Twitter, and/or Facebook to see each new video each day, and you can find the full countdown so far at the #20EmoAlbumsAt20 hashtag on all of those platforms."
"We also launched some new exclusive vinyl, including upcoming albums from Militarie Gun, The Acacia Strain, and Biohazard; a new "ocean" vinyl variant of Descendents' Milo Goes To College; and more. Also, the new 20th anniversary edition of Minus The Bear's Menos El Oso just came out and our exclusive coke green vinyl variant is still available. Head below for my picks of the 10 best songs of August that fall somewhere under the punk umbrella, in no particular order."
Ten standout punk-adjacent tracks from August are identified, spanning punk, pop punk, emo, hardcore, post-hardcore, and ska-punk. A video series presents twenty emo and emo-adjacent albums turning twenty, with one video released daily through September 6 on Instagram, TikTok, X/Twitter, and Facebook under the #20EmoAlbumsAt20 hashtag. Additional punk-related content includes an interview with Pool Kids about Easier Said Than Done, a podcast with Moving Mountains about their first album in 12 years and future plans, and Chance Smith naming five favorite screamo records. August album reviews cover bands such as The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die, Hot Mulligan, Hayley Williams, The Armed, and Deftones. New exclusive vinyl releases include variants for Militarie Gun, The Acacia Strain, Biohazard, a Descendents "ocean" Milo Goes To College variant, and a coke green vinyl for Minus The Bear's Menos El Oso 20th anniversary edition.
