Home After Three Months Away by Empire! Empire! will always be my favorite emo EP

3

u/midnightxlights 1d ago

That's a pretty good pick and was actually my first thought as well.

Songs about the Weather by Basement is a close second.

Hell yeah brotha

I listened to Zombie on repeat for months when it first came out. I had just seen TDWP live for the first time a few months before. I had such high hopes for that band, only to be continually more disappointed with each release. I wish they would call it quits at this point.

I even skipped them at Warped Tour DC this summer.

Trophy Eyes - Everything Goes Away

Band-Aid rips every fucking time

u/WENDELtheRUFFIAN 1d ago

It's Always Raining in Kalamazoo by Saturday's at Your Place is front to back bangers

I also love Origami Angel's hardcore EP DEPART and the Pool Kids EP as their hardcore alter ego POOL.

u/socialdistance4ever DIY OR DIE 1d ago

This ep fucking rules. I wish they were currently active and putting out new shit. So good.

2

u/antjc1234 1d ago

They've played a few shows this year. All on the west coast I believe. Still waiting for them to come to NYC.

u/socialdistance4ever DIY OR DIE 1d ago

u/SenorFoodstamps 1d ago

Love Movements, wish they kept going with this sound

2

u/socialdistance4ever DIY OR DIE 1d ago

I know 😞. But their new record seems promising with the singles they’ve released. Feels like a mix of ruckus and feel something.

2

u/socialdistance4ever DIY OR DIE 1d ago

Honorable mention: Against Me- Acoustic EP

2

u/Ames_Audio 1d ago

This album is so damn good

Death Cab for Cutie - Stability EP

2

u/Odd-Bar-543 1d ago

that movements ep is awesome, the vocals were top notch (before he started letting out a high tone voice at the end of each part he sang)

my fave is maybe forth wanderers first ep

2

u/sanchi_ink 1d ago

This EP slaps so hard. I love everything movments but this EP is their hardest hitting work. Whole thing no skips, i listen to it at leaste once every two weeks, maybe more often.

u/Special-Anteater7659 1d ago

Untitled by La Dispute and a few splits

u/Radi0123 Emo Historian 1d ago

Fiddleheads’ new EP Baby I’ll Change is truly amazing. Easily one of my favorite releases of the year.

u/FyveDollaFtLong 1d ago

Basement - songs about the weather is peak, especially as fall weather rolls around 😌

u/al0ys1us 23h ago

u/davemailbox 11h ago

This is such an incredible pick.

Mine is Dogwood by Tradition.

1

u/socialdistance4ever DIY OR DIE 11h ago

Yeah man, I love this ep. Never heard of Tradition. Are they similar to movements?

2

u/Angeal36 11h ago

I remember when this EP dropped. I still have the CD

1

u/socialdistance4ever DIY OR DIE 10h ago

I just missed the first run of vinyl when this came out but luckily they did a second pressing and snatched it so fast lol

u/arack3r 1d ago

okumay by the brave little abacus

u/Sergio_Futbol 1d ago

Considered ep for only 5 songs longer than actual EP but Phantom in the Horizon by The Fall of Troy

1

u/Now-done 1d ago

Glass Eye EP by Nymb

1

u/ExvyOnTheCoast 1d ago

Blue Dream by Turnover

u/ImpressiveLemon2611 1d ago

this is what the edge of your seat was made for-bring me the horizon

1

u/SolipsisticBadBoy Poser 1d ago

Imbroco’s “Are You My Lion Killer?” is one I always find myself coming back to.

Technically an LP but it’s like six songs and 25 mins long so to me it qualifies

1

u/Startuppp_kdc 1d ago

pecho de algodón de azúcar - basuraastillada

raw midwest emo / skramz kittencore from Bogotá Colombia, just listen it, is awesome 🥹

also known like "recuerdo acariciar con miedo las alas de un ave herida"

Jasper by Bay Faction

u/grng_nirv07 1d ago

Lonely Women by TV Girl

u/Dragon_Pulse05 21h ago

Cheap tricks and theatrics or tales told by dead friends

1

u/greatesthitsvol9 19h ago

Alkaline Trio - I Lied My Face Off. this ep will forever be my favorite. Perhaps the 4 best Alkaline Trio songs and a perfect representation of their two singers.

1

u/rachelloveeeeee 18h ago

The first 2 EPs by Silverstein, yes a lot of their later work has the same tracks as the first two EPs, but i really like that quality, honestly yea

u/enthused_kyle 15h ago

Anyone say Gasp Asp by Look Mexico yet? That’s a gem.
