NTS Guide to: Early Emotional Hardcore

London, 10.05.24

A round-up of the original (and best?) iteration of emo – early "emotional" hardcore music, an offshoot of 1980s DC hardcore punk, that quickly morphed into a sound of it's own, characterised by a heart-on-your-sleeve earnestness, and a wider set of influences from math rock, post rock and more.
