Brand New

You don't need to hear the song "Good To Know That If I Ever Need Attention All I Have To Do Is Die" to know that at the very least, Brand New have some emo elements floating around in their post-grunge broth. Formed in 2000 in New York, the band took their pop-punk roots and shot them through with a Radiohead-like propensity for total despair. Thankfully they held on to the raggedy guitars.
