Last year, emo was all the rage. Major mainstream publications wrote articles about the "emo revival," focusing on the subdued instrumentation and heartfelt lyricism expressed through the technical stylings of bands like Dads and The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die. Many fans in the "scene" (whatever that is) chimed in, and debates ensued over what bands were emo, when emo went away, and if it ever went away at all. The proverbial genre bastardization "twinkle daddies" was spewed over Tumblr referring to this new generation of bands influenced by the likes of American Football, Sunny Day Real Estate, and the Promise Ring. Now it's 2014, and we have a whole new box of sadness to pry into. Enter
Keep Doing What You're Doing, an album from Orlando's own You Blew It! that's quirky, depressing and anything but derivative.
