Well Boxcar Racer is not pure emo. In fact, some people would contest that. But if you listen to their music more closely mapapansin mo mas heartfelt ang lyrics nila kaysa sa original band nila. 'Di ba mas introspective ang music nila kaysa sa Blink?
Well, I listen to a lot of music. Emo bands na gusto ko ngayun ay yung Student Rick at Thursday. Locally released sila, under Galaxy Records ata.
Punk? well, nth generation na yata ng punk ngayon. Anyway, punk never dies. Nag-iiba iba lang ng styles ang mga banda but the attitude stays the same (I hope). Good picks would include The Descendents/All (Pop punk), Rancid (Ska punk), at Ramones (eto ang prototype ng mga punk bands).
