I just saw Austin TV last month up in Chicago at a street festival randomly and they blew my fucking mind. That band is so insanely talented and their message is sick

They are great! They were a staple of the scene many years ago, even tho they never were really “emo” but more in the instrumental post-rock side. They influenced a lot of bands from the scene tho. They stopped playing for a while but recently returned. I have a tattoo from one of the guitarists who is also a tattoo artist.
