Prince Daddy & the Hyena, The Hotelier, State Lines, Home is Where, Sincere Engineer, Spanish Love Songs, Anxious, Joyce Manor, Worst Party Ever, Michael Cera Palin, Macseal, Fiddlehead, Charmer, Dogleg, Knucklepuck, Pity Sex, Tigers Jaw and Title Fight are all good options too.
I love Joyce Manor — mainly that they drop straight into the hooks, no nonsense and an album is done in 20 minutes. Their ability to write catchy songs is remarkable.
Interesting, this one to me was always more post-punk (from the ATDI era) transitioning into prog rock (everything TMV did after their first album). Haven't really considered it to be "emo", but then again, I'm not an expert when it comes to musical genres.
Off the top of my head, here are a few of my favorite albums from the genre:
• Origami Angel :: Gami Gang
• A Lot Like Birds :: No Place
• Dance Gavin Dance :: Downtown Battle Mountain
• Mars Volta :: De-Loused in the Comatorium
• Taking Back Sunday :: Where You Want To Be
• Underoath :: Define the Great Line
• Sky Eats Airplane :: Sky Eats Airplane
• From Indian Lakes :: The Man with Wooden Legs
• Circa Survive :: Blue Sky Noise
• Mew :: Frengers
• Other Men :: Wake Up Swimming
