Jets to Brazil

The emo floodgates opened in 2002. In honor of their 20th anniversaries, this edition of 'In Defense of the Genre' looks at the best emo and post-hardcore albums from that year.

With songs by blink-182, Box Car Racer, New Found Glory, Alkaline Trio, The Starting Line, American Nightmare, Glassjaw, Rival Schools, and more, 'Atticus: ...Dragging the Lake' was a near-perfect snapshot of early 2000s punk.

”There’s a lot of hope in this record, and a lot of fight. We are all warriors. We all have miles of shit to trudge through, and we have no choice but to get through it.”

With concerts still cancelled, we recommend these classic live videos of Jets To Brazil, Jimmy Eat World, Pedro the Lion, Rilo Kiley, Rainer Maria, Sunny Day Real Estate, and more...

Today's picks for live videos to watch while you're home and every show is cancelled include Brian Wilson's 2004 'Smile' concert film, Cocteau Twins on the Heaven or Las Vegas tour, Jets To Brazil in 1999, Rilo Kiley in 2002, and more.

25 hand-picked musicians form five ad-hoc bands who must write songs and perform them the same day. Members of Phony Ppl, Jets to Brazil, Dirty Projectors, PC Worship and more will also be part of this year's Brooklyn Rock Lottery.

The playlist includes music by Weezer, Fugazi, The Promise Ring, Sugar, Wilco, Jawbreaker, Elliott Smith, Sebadoh, Christie Front Drive, Superchunk, Pedro The Lion, Drive Like Jehu, Archers of Loaf, and more.

Other guests at the Brooklyn podcast taping include Brian Baker (Dag Nasty, Bad Religion, Minor Threat) and Laura Stevenson.
