    I preferred the first record but This Bitter Garden is up there for me as well. End Beginnings from Sandwell District is another honorable mention

        If you like metal then that Jivebomb album is excellent hardcore punk. Along similar lines is Xiao’s Control which is more powerviolence but still great

        Edit: a more sasscore aligned record you might dig is Emma Goldman’s All You Are is We. This features members of Dads Thighs, who put one of my fave emo records The Ghosts that I Fear

          i’m definitely going to check out the Emma Goldman album, thanks. i’ve seen it around but didn’t know much about it.
