A Compilation Series of Unreleased Music "The most important compilation series for emotional / punk / hardcore music." - Enough "A rich and utterly rewarding snapshot of this intense and personal musical style." - Scratch "In the history of the compilation, there has never been a better one than this." - Fracture "As far as compilations go, this is about as quality as you can get." - Skyscraper "The best compilation series on this planet. Period." - Punk Rock Reviews

Over the past ten years, this popular series has been Deep Elm's way of documenting an extraordinary and powerful style of music that possesses the ability to stir emotion like no other. The Emo Diaries has acted as an introduction to over 135 of the best young bands throughout the world, including Jimmy Eat World (pictured above), Appleseed Cast, Further Seems Forever, Movielife, Penfold, Samiam, Slow Coming Day, Sounds Like Violence and many more. All songs are NEW and UNRELEASED making each chapter of The Emo Diaries a true compilation, not a sampler of previously released music. Bands were selected to participate based on open submissions of their music. Only the music mattered. Deep Elm has never attempted to define any musical style, as we believe any combination of songwriting, lyrics and live performance means something different to every listener. We have only intended to share with you the music that moves us and support these bands...it's what we do.
