Guys, before emo became a national embarrassment, it was an underground movement to take punk rock into more personal territory. I was a huge and unapologetic fan of the second wave emo scene in the mid-1990′s, which was spearheaded by a great band called Cap’n Jazz. Cap’n Jazz would break up and form the genesis of the Promise Ring, Joan of Arc, Owls, American Football and a shit ton of other great bands. Chicago, Illinois was the epicenter of the scene, and produced more great records than any other city from 1995 – 1997 or so. Apparently, Cap’n Jazz played a surprise reunion show last night. Here’s a song from it.
