Version 2 of our Most Popular Sampler Ever and it again delivers the intense combination of emotional songwriting, heartfelt lyrics and moving live performance often referred to as "emo." Whether you think emo is awesome or evil, you can't deny it's all amazingly good. (DER-667)

"Fifteen songs from the rising stars of the melodic hardcore underground, the best are represented on Emo Is Awesome / Emo Is Evil. Intelligent, poetic noise that comes from the anger and energy of punk rock. You feel the drums and banshee guitars kicking out in adrenalin overdrive. Deep Elm has reason to be proud of its commitment to this genre because the strain they offer is a purer, more virulent, more dangerous strain than any of the other slow clowns being labeled emo." - Culture Bunker
