"The Promise Ring is the beginning of what gave EMO a bad name. Turning guitar driven melodic music into sissy boy nerdcore.
Now that I think of it- that is exactly where the shit went boy band- Pieces of Texas is the Reason, The Promise Ring, The Get Up Kids (which by the way had no interest in hardcore before the band- use to open mics at bars).. and then Dashboard Confessional nailed the coffin."
have to kind of agree with you...it was a..maturing of emo if you will..maybe not maturing...but don't forget mineral and cristie front drive...IMHO the two bands that really led the new emo side of things...Jimmy Eat World were in there too for their first couple of albums...
