And so the Emo Revival revival began. As the oft-maligned genre was getting kicked out of the mall, suburban MySpace loners were picking up where the '90s left off. The wails of bo th Kinsella brothers began to matter, as both Cap'n Jazz and American Football were suddenly considered part of the same canon. Enter: The Exploration, the fantasy emo realm of Grand Rapids, Michigan, teen Kyle Luck, a nebulous project whose recordings span four tumultuous adolescent years and unknown gallons of tears. Despite vigorous attempts to delete this music from the internet, a CD-DR EP, demo cassette discography, 7" and a few Garage Band demos have somehow survived the purge. On offer: A reproduction of The Exploration's 2013 cassette Demography, dubbed for their 2025 reunion show at Philadelphia's Dilly Dally Fest in an edition of 500. Housed in a chipboard o-card, with lyrics and blurry photos of this outsider crew of emo weirdos. Show more
