Kiwimo for Emus

Hospital Sports

Owen-style chill emo. Recently got a new drummer and currently doing louder, rockier songs live.

Hit: Smile Lines

Whatever Happened? by Hospital Sports

Coate

2010-2014, now defunct. Doing an emo in the 2010′s well before anyone else in NZ was. First album clearly AF influenced, more energy later on the Spring EP and Keep It Together Records splits they did. On a personal level, important to Carbs’ turn to emo.

Hit: Climbing Playgrounds with Paul Brown

Spring EP by Coate

Also worth checking out sister band Winter if you like yelling. And new combo band of Coate/Winter, Buddy Up

There are some live recordings of Coate available too, here and here.

Dental Plan

Short lived Auckland emo band, released 1 ep, and 1 split, and played two or three shows. A new band is being started out of it that is super promising, here is an acoustic set played as Dental Plan.

Dental Plan EP by Dental Plan

Open

These guys have some nice emo bits, other parts are kind of techy math/post-rock. Interested to see where they end up.

Chasing Returns by Open

Tuff Wizard

Maybe they don’t really count as emo, but sure is some seeck emotional pop punk (with A+ lyrics). FFO: TWIABP and Los Campesinos. Hit: The Gap Between My Two Front Teeth

Gap/ Telling by Tuff Wizard

Also worth checking out a band a couple of the wizards were in before, Attic Sky’s.

Carb on Carb

Its me band. Didn’t use to be emo, but we’re going more and more that way now.
