Discovering Emo: please recommend EMO (or not) artists/compilations similar to g!
Question: (not Mars Volta please)
Answers: (not Mars Volta please)
Are you looking for emo bands? Or bands like At The Drive-In. They are certainly not emo.
If you dig At The Drive-In, I would check out the following...
Quicksand
Far
Fugazi
Sonic Youth (maybe)
Helmet (older stuff)
Jesus Lizard
I think you'll dig these bands...
Cheers!
(EDIT)
Don't knock the kid for inquiring about new music. Besides, there's obviously a communication breakdon here, as the band he requested info on isn't an emo band. Kids who listen to emo will eventually grow out of it, anyway... don't worry.
Also check out The Pixies
(EDIT)
Shane - are you insane? Jesus Lizard is a band, pal. They were late-80s/early-90s post-hardcore/noise. Showbread is not even in the same sport, let alone ballpark, as them. Give me a break.

I am not really sure, you could try www.pandora.com, enter in the artist and it gives you similar music. It's free and easy.
What`s wrong with you kids these days?Why can`t you listen music with quality?Have you ever heard about rock,grunge,punk,jazz,reggae,metal?
You don't want to listen to emo. It sucks.
Listen to Metal. It's wayyy better!
okay well for clarification. EMO is a genre of punk that branched in the late 80s with bands like fugazi and moss icon. it is short for emotive-hardcore, not emotional. and you cant have music that isnt emotional any way. but i suggest...
fugazi
moss icon
razorlight
Blur
Bloc Party
the pixies
and BTW, the band isnt named the jesus lizard, its called Showbread, and i recommend them too
try:
Boys like girls
amber pacific
Settings
death cab for cutie
bullet for my valentine
fall out boy , very emo/punk/alternitive/rock
