Where I live we where always one year after with everything. It probably was difficult getting albums distributed to us so 1994 was very much Icon for me.
I assume I am not the only one on MS who is into these closely related, often indistinguishable styles of music and I can't see any topic dedicated to these yet so here we go...
Lately I've been listening to tons of screamo but overall I still don't know as many bands that I'd like to know so I appreciate any recommendations.
Last year is quickly becoming a hazy memory. So while we still can, let's recommend our favorite albums of 2013 in these genres!
I must say Have Mercy's The Earth Pushed Back takes the cake for me. Very melodic emo revival band with an excellent vocalist and rich songwriting. All in all, the album ticks every box I expect it to.
The runner-up is Highness, with Hold. Members from Christie Front Drive, Pg. 99, City of Caterpillar etc. Solid 90s/early 00s throwback, with not quite as much personality or diverse songwriting as the above guys. But when they nail it, they nail it.
From the screamo camp, Caravels and Barrow both delivered strong albums. Defeater and Touché Amoré are probably the biggest releases, and sure they're good, but I don't think they're quite up there.

Mine is easy : Everything In Slow Motion - Phoenix Runner up: The Circle Ends Here - The Division Ahead
I love emo/post-hardcore/screamo stuff. At the Drive-In are like my favorite band ever. I've seen a lot of post-hardcore and screamo on this thread but not enough emo, I can help with that.

American Football is great, found them through a Moose Blood song.
Too many bands IMO. They are all over the place. There has been a post hardcore uprising - more so than I can ever remember. The one that I kinda dig right now
is the new Architects release.
