Self-released, 2010

Very much in the vein of Moving Mountains, It’s Just Vanity’s debut is a mix of atmospheric post-rock and some more catchy emo-tinged indie. It’s a touch too close to the afore-mentioned band, and not quite as good, but it’s a decent start.

Count Your Lucky Stars, 2010

Empire! Empire!, described as ‘emo-veterans’, bring a down-tempo track with emotion and feeling, but it might be a bit too down for some people. Simple guitar parts twinkle away whilst low-key drums work away in the background, and heartfelt vocals float on top. Football, etc. bring female emo-rock to the equation, with big dynamic shifts and long sustained vocal patterns.
