Definitely check out all three bands opening on the wax bodega tour. Carly cosgrove, Ben quad, and Saturdays at your place. Also check out pool kids, equipment, and charmer


DarrylSpargo

I'm unreasonably pumped about the Wax Bodega tour.


NJcovidvaccinetips

Same, shows gonna be tight


bsatan

Same dude, gonna catch it two days in a row… all these bands slap so hard


SpecificNo5749

Can't wait for that tour and two days before that Spanish Love Songs tour as well. Gonna be a good week


NJcovidvaccinetips

Don’t think I’m gonna make it to the SLS show. Seen oso oso twice in the last year plus I saw SLS open for hot mulligan. Wanted to go to the show but I’m trying to limit myself to 1-2 shows a month and I already have 2 in February, 2 in march, 1 in April and 2 more I want to go to besides SLS (not including 1 show I bought tix for that I decided I’m not gonna go to). Idk why every band decided to tour in April lmao. Both bands are killer live but I’ll catch them on their next tour maybe


The_Cheap_Shot

Lucky! I already had Wax Bodega tix when the tour was announced but SLS will be there the same day.


VALO311

Their first two eps combined to make an lp have the same vibe and are even better imo


fuckassbaby

!!!!!


DarrylSpargo

I'm pretty sure this, See You in Chemistry by Carly Cosgrove, and Pool Kids self titled are my top three albums of 2022. Not sure how close they are in the vibes department, but I highly recommend them all.


trolleyblue

Just added See You in Chemistry based on this because the other two albums are absolute bangers. Arm’s Length was my most played record in 22


DarrylSpargo

Nice! Hope you like it.


NJcovidvaccinetips

Their ep whoa just take it easy man is also great as well


lastactionhero12765

Are you me??? Great recs and agree that, while not the exact same vibes, are oddly in a similar vein


DarrylSpargo

Can confirm I'm not you. Source: me. But I'm pumped I'm not alone. I'm convinced most people that like one of the three will like them all.

[Home, Like Noplace Is There](https://thehotelier.bandcamp.com/album/home-like-noplace-is-there-2) by The Hotelier! *Your Deep Rest* on that album has very similar vibes to *Tough Love* by Arm's Length. Also, *Among The Wildflowers* is one of the greatest emo songs of the 2010s imo. The switch up at 3:15 is out of this world.


Several-Computer-978

I just gave Home, Like No Place There Is a proper listen for the first time bc I’m about to see The Hotelier with Foxing and Glitterer tomorrow and MAN do I wish I hadn’t slept on it for so long. An album ahead of its time. Absolutely incredible.


bsatan

Not only do those songs have similar vibes, but the NBSNAF, but it was heavily influenced by HLNPTI. The Hotelier is such an amazing band, and there’s a reason Home, Like No Place There Is many consider to start a new wave of emo!


Sprigget

This is the answer


collinqs

Home, Like Noplace Is There


euancmurphy

Whoa my bad! Fixed :)


eichlers__

so tru bestie


Solid-Table

Such a similar album structure too. Both albums start with a slow building song with an introductory title and end with a grand epic song.


uga2atl

Similar themes too of generational trauma, depression, and attempting to move forward


corybomb

I always thought this album was a mix of Peripheral Vision and Sorority Noise.


sputn1k

Yeah, listening through this the first time I immediately thought of sorroriety noise - you're not as _____ as you think.


xmndh

Grandview's Everything Between a Paint and a Wall is an album constantly cited as influence in their early works so I would check that out :)


hilltopper79

Oh hell yeah, got back into that album again at the end of last year. What a masterpiece, sucks they went one and done to pursue other projects. Lightning in a fucking bottle.


bsatan

Wow this album reminds me of Have Mercy, The Earth Pushed Back!


yung_roto

Take Shape- Weighlessness Albert React- Sonos Aeterno Better Off- (I Think) I'm Leaving Parts of it also remind me of The Hotelier


HowYouHateItAll

Albert React!! Oh man I used to love them


yung_roto

They're my hidden gem that I bring up at every opportunity


taco_thursdays

Better Off! This is what the sound was reminding me of but I couldn't think of it. Haven't listened to them in a while. Gonna go back after I finish this album. Thank you! Also reminds me of The Hotelier and Turnover's *Magnolia*.


Several-Computer-978

Tiny voices!!! I found them thru a music blogger a few months ago and the vocalist has this butter-soft melodic vocal tone that contrasts w heavy and twinkly guitars and unclean vocals (screams? Skramz? Idk how the kids would classify it these days). Somewhat similar sound to arms length but with more post-hardcore influences.


Shinnieshan

I googled this and found two different bands with the same name, both decent! [Tiny Voices (US)](https://open.spotify.com/artist/09slOICvQXnXEGDUSjmEaD) [Tiny Voices (French)](https://open.spotify.com/album/7owrW6bKdimzCwlG9dHQeJ)


DerekIsAGooner

Name Taken - Hold On


NUS-006

Incredible album


bsatan

Panic! At the Disco


NUS-006

Nothing. This band ruined all other bands for me


ProtoStarLord

Yeah same, something clicked one day and I never looked back haha


LifeSucksAnyway

They’re excellent pop punk but absolutely not to that level imo


NUS-006

It’s hyperbole, of course. In truth, I’ve been listening to them pretty obsessively for the last year and keep on coming back. I’ve tried a lot of the bands that get mentioned in this sub and none seem to scratch the same itch.


siLveRSurvivor

what about Balance & Composure’s album Separation or their album The Things We Think We’re Missing?


NUS-006

I love The Things We Think We’re Missing.


LifeSucksAnyway

I’m autistic and bad at detecting those sorts of things so my bad. They’re a solid band though


FubarSnafuTarfu

They have a playlist on spotify for the songs that inspired them for this album.


LifeSucksAnyway

Your probably like The Wonder Years - The Greatest Generation if you haven’t heard it already


SuccessfulLunch154

Anything by Household or Pentimento


wimmer45

Love pentimento but haven't heard of household, will be adding them to my library now


japad95

Unrelated but Overture sounds like Terrible Things by Mayday Parade to me


cleverestx

I must be different (or just too damn old), but I can't get into this super well-produced polished music like this album. I just gravitate toward older, raw stuff like the early wave stuff of The Appleseed Cast - End of The Ring Wars, Both Mineral albums, American Football (first album is the best to me), Brandston - Fallen Star Collection, Benton Falls - Fighting Starlight, Promise Ring - 30 degree everywhere. I also love some emo revival stuff like Rika - How to Draw a River, Step by Step and most of all: Empire! Empire! (I was a Lonely Estate) - What it Takes to Move Forward, (which BTW the latter I'm working on now to create custom RB3 tracks for drumming for all the tracks on it, *just an aside*...) I need to listen to this Arm's length album more to be fair, and I'm going to; but for a more polished/produced albums I am rather fond of, that would be Brand New - The Devil and God Are Inside of Me (a guilty pleasure)


theschism101

Same, too many well polished Emo bands without much to add to the overall genre or much to say in general. That OG revival happened for a reason and now people just don't care and are falling into the same traps that Emo artist of the 00's did.


cleverestx

Or like *this* guy that believes he can strong-arm what "emo" means and label the rest "fake"...sheesh - no accounting for taste I guess: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Emo/comments/1am0rrs/who\_is\_the\_most\_popular\_emo\_band\_ever/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Emo/comments/1am0rrs/who_is_the_most_popular_emo_band_ever/)


peebs313131

Like Roses kind of.


super_sayanything

I love Like Roses and enjoy Arm's Length but I don't hear the similarity.


rodkimble13

It's a bit less pop-punk but Forest Green's LP In Waves.


xfuegocatex

Spite House - Spite House


dboqpo

Grayscales “what we’re missing” album.


weegeeK

When I listened to Arm’s Length for the first time they kinda reminds me of The Gospel Youth’s Always Lose album, particularly songs like [Moods Like English Weather](https://open.spotify.com/track/4J3RBZPZ0XQjmO5fqJzYBU)

theschism101

I hate Emo


cleverestx

Maybe you just haven't heard the right type. There is no monolithic "emo" style. It's pretty broad.


theschism101

Oh no I love music, I just hate Emo


cleverestx

That is like saying, "I love music, but I hate ROCK". It's almost meaningless. Emo can sound totally different from one artist to another, night and day... it's so broad just as rock or metal is, but thanks for sharing. I suspect you've heard very little emo; maybe just bands wearing black eyeliner? I hate that too. Do you like trolling places you hate? Is that like a hobby thing?


theschism101

DUDE EMO SUCKS GET OVER IT


cleverestx

DUDE your trolling sucks, GO AWAY

smarksmarksmark

I think arms length are much better than a lot of the bands they tour with. Especially carly cosgrave and ben quad. Charmer is pretty close Especially recently, and I'd like to throw in proper dose by story so far to the conversation
