Bummer. But it's always easier to accept a band breaking up after they release their worst album.

its probably for the better, sucks to see them leave, but it was pretty obvious they were at the end of the rope in the idea department.

so the first wave of the Emo Revival is dead now, yeah? EE, AC, Snowing, and Dads (fuck Dads) are all done.

pretty much every other band in the emo scene hates them. TWIABP, Brave Bird, and Dowsing have all shit on them. basically the dudes are assholes, misogynistic, and one of them has a rape fetish blog which is kinda hard to defend.
that said the drummer has cancer so i feel bad for him. still dont like his music.

brave bird are also arseholes. There seems to be something about emo revival that draws in these kinds of people.

if they ever did make a post its been long since removed, or its on one of the artists page instead of the band's page.

Should also be noted that most dudes in hardcore/emo bands are tools.

iirc he was thinking about wtf "skramz" means and how it got started, so as an experiment or smth he changed the tags on all emo stuff on last.fm to "twinkle daddies" and it somehow caught on. jesus christ.

I imagine out of touch ex shitty metalcore womem in their mid 20's with faded tattoos use that phrase to describe their perfect partner. The names so bad it's infected my skull.

I was really into this band in high school but I haven't listened to them in a while. I guess I grew out of twinkle emo
"When the Sea Became a Giant" is still a really good listen tho

its like every time someone tries to make a joke about a term or genre it becomes one. Same thing basically happened with "future bass" and "tropical house"
