Emo bands from the late 1990’s make up a good portion of my record collection.

I was really drawn to quirky vocals, high pitched screams, odd tempo changes, and plenty of twinkle in the guitars.
Twinkle twinkle, whining in sweaters
Another aspect of these bands that I enjoyed, were the materials being released with their records and tapes.
Almost always created by hand, my favorites were either silk screened designs or deliberately worn photocopies of original drawings and illustrations.
Produced on the cheap meant you often received extra “goodies” in the record sleeves that you’d never see in commercially released albums.
And because the methods of producing these elements were following a do-it-yourself ethic, the end result looked like one of a kind creations. Notes and drawings scrawled in a journal, torn out, folded, and placed alongside a 7-inch record for you to connect with when played on a turntable in your bedroom.
