House of Emo - Scene

"I'm A Big Douche At the Roseville Bars" The Song

2008-07-03T09:26:11Z

You've heard the song. You've heard the spoofs. But guaranteed, you haven't heard this funny version of the "No Handlebars" song before I have. On the way home from work today I was treated to The Blobots brazenly unique twist on the "No Handlebars" song we all know and love. What makes the Blobots spoof awesome is that it's about my hometown, Roseville, California. You've gotta listen to it!

House of Emo: 2008 & Beyond

2008-03-26T06:31:15Z

I'm sick and tired of seeing these poser emo sites popping up like opium fields for the masses. They make me want to cut some fool. Therefore, I want you to help make 2008 the best year ever for House of Emo, the original emo community. House of Emo is looking for writers/bloggers, band reviewers, photographers and music fans to join the House of Emo team in 2008.

Why Tower Records Closed It's Doors Forever

2007-06-21T02:26:05Z

So, unless you've been hiding under a rock, you already know that megastore Tower Records has gone up in smoke. Once a haven for indie musicians and unsigned bands of all sorts, Tower Records has been on a slow and inevitable decline ever since it's founder, Russell Solomon, was gently ousted as the company's Chairman.

New Guide to Emo, Out In Book Form

2007-04-24T23:30:02Z

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Everybody Hurts, the Essential Guide to Emo Culture hit book stores early last month, much to the delight of hopeless emo kid wannabes everywhere.

Emo Porn

2006-11-30T08:32:31Z

You probably have to be over 18 to read this. You're over 18, right? I thought so. Among the millions of websites with pornographic content out there, there are countless ones dedicated to military studs, interracial sex, intergenerational sex. If you look hard enough, you can even find a handful of twink sites (young looking, legal boys having sex), but there's no emo porn in sight!

Attention Ladies And Gentleman, A Song By Press Return

2006-11-19T14:37:27Z

I recently got to do an interview with Pierce and Josh, the dynamic duo that is Press Return. This emo-ish indie outfit from New Paltz, NY is booking a tour with Tiger of Paris from December 29 to January 7th. Press Return's unique stripped down "six strings and vocal chords" approach to their music is beginning to attract attention, recently even landing them a spot in the Small Band Round Up on AbsolutePunk.net.

"Signing Emo" Song - Artistic Spoof or Hard Reality?

2006-10-16T05:41:15Z

Maybe I'm the last person on earth to hear this song. Certainly I'm the only person alive who doesn't watch mtv. However, I thought I'd post about this just in case there are a couple more of you out there like me who tend to be oblivious to most of the cool videos floating around the internet.

Goodbye My Chemical Romance, Welcome The Black Parade

2006-09-08T07:44:11Z

In My Chemical Romance news, remember in my last post when I told you I wasn't impressed with the bands new song, Welcome to the Black Parade? Maybe I'm just being an insolent little emo kid who's doting on his sweetheart, but hear me out. Then you can watch a cool video interview with the band and tell me what you think.

Death Cab For Cutie Tour Dates

2006-09-08T04:28:01Z

Death Cab for Cutie is on the radio as I write this. Is it a sign I should say something? I missed out on their Sacramento concert the last time they toured the U.S., but I won't miss them this time. Who cares they're emo or not. Death Cab rocks!

Danny Glix Emo Art Psychadelica

2006-09-01T08:08:10Z

Are you ready for a mind fuck? In our very first round of emo art on display, I'm proud to introduce my good friend, the inimitable Danny (Mindblowing Mushroom Man) Glix. His art is emo by my definition of emo: somewhat queer, totally awesome and strangely hard-to-define.

The Cryin' Truth About Emo Boys

2006-08-27T20:33:30Z

An epidemic has struck the heterosexual American male population. While by no means fatal, it is highly contagious, easily caught and nearly impossible to cure. Symptoms are loneliness, confusion, and a general sense of self-pity. If not caught and stopped in its early stages, irreparable damage may occur.

Unsigned Band. Unnamed Journal.

2006-08-24T09:54:24Z

Our band had it's first show. We get to matter, but only for thirty minutes. Then there is a finale. A guitar is split over a speaker cabinet. Feedback hangs over the air like a mist over a crowd that wishes it could only allow itself to dance. Then it's over and we're back to being dead-end kids.

Emo Love In 1969: A Short Film

2006-07-23T01:26:22Z

The next time some punk kid says emo is merely a passing fad, point him to this video to prove just how long emo's really been around =)

Original Derigible Says "We're Not Emo. We're Indie!"

The Army Navy Garrison building. A giant worn brick building located in one of the oldest most worn areas of Niles Ohio, looks like it could be an artifact straight out of a turn-of-the-last-century ghost town. But on this particular Saturday night, it looks like it could possibly be the most popular place in the area.
