Emo’s not dead, and it’s because of a new generation of bands putting fresh spins on the nearly-40-year-old genre. Here are 10 to be keeping an eye on this year.

Pool Kids join us on the BrooklynVegan Podcast to reflect on their breakout year, talk about their 2017 formation and backstory, discuss their new split with their hardcore alter-egos POOL, and much more…
