Back in April, I tweeted, “the two best new emo bands of 2024 are bonus and red sun.” I am not one to toot my own horn [citation needed], but I think I called it. The two young emo bands are from far-flung locales -- south Florida and Oklahoma City, respectively -- but they have quickly become central figures of emo in 2024. They've united for a split titled Unnecessary Riffness, out next month on Wax Bodega.
