    Emo, emo, emo! How many emo bands have you heard lately? You know what's great about this scene? I just haven't heard any signed emo bands (indie or "major") that stink. Anyway, Recess Theory, while jumping on the emo and the "use the word 'theory' in your name" bandwagon, are very good. John Ralston's vocals are very melodic yet raspy. The two guitars give the overall sound a real fullness. For ordering info, write: TakeHold Records, PO Box 19831, Birmingham AL 35219
