The Emo tag is definitely something that has been prevalent throughout most of my previous bandcamp adventures. Something that can encompass a wide spectrum of sounds (not emo as a genre), the emo bandcamp tag should be a gold mind. So check out some bands I loved from the “Emo” tag on bandcamp. Enjoy!
*for further clarification we’re not looking at music that’s a part of the emo genre, but just music with the emo tag. Don’t yell about me saying “omg this band isn’t emo” because I know it isn’t.

Harmony Woods – Nothing Special
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
tags: alternative, emo, indie, indie rock, singer-songwriter
At the time of writing this, there’s only one track out (album releasing May 5th) but that one track was enough for me to include it on this list. This may actually work it’s way onto my AOTY list depending on the rest of the album.
*Literally as I was going to post this, a second track is available. That track is great too. I’m honestly really stoked on this release.
