about

"Documenting an evolution for eight years, The Emo Diaries is definitely about the music. Getting us off to a solid start on Chapter 10, The Hope I Hide Inside, is Oliver with some appropriately upbeat rock. The comp's international colors are shown in Jerusalem's My Name Is Nobody. Their extremely raw punk rock slips into some savage hardcore vocals creating a dramatic and interesting sound. Representing the UK are The Holiday Plan and Latitude Blue; the former an energetic blast of emo-punk providing one of the best moments of the cd, the latter robust and quite catchy indie rock. Deep Elm's own Sounds Like Violence don't fail to deliver with their song. It's a degree mellower and more straightforward than their EP, but still has the slightly deranged vocals and is definitely quality. Also doing the label proud are Lock And Key, their throaty singer prominent as usual on their blistering, melodic punk effort. Hercules Hercules flaunt their arty, angular flair with strong nods toward The Blood Brothers, while Lukestar's song, a definite highlight, is cutting yet unexpectedly catchy. Closing the series is a weighty responsibility, but The Silent Type manage to live up to the task with a suitably relaxing and sublimely melodic track reminiscent of The Appleseed Cast. All in all, a fine collection with lots of passionate songs as one would expect. While Chapter 10 marks an end of an era for The Emo Diaries, you'll be happy to hear that Deep Elm has an all new compilation series, This Is Indie Rock. I can't wait." - Kill The Noise

"The 10th and final installment of The Emo Diaries is packed with some of the finest songs I've heard on a compilation. You can literally find any song for any moment of your life on this. The Hope I Hide Inside is filled with intensity, passion, honesty and emotion. I especially enjoyed songs from My Name Is Nobody, The Holiday Plan and Sounds Like Violence. There are some awesome tunes from bands like Oliver, Lock And Key and Lukestar too. The fact that most of the bands on this comp are unsigned and independent makes it even better, reminding every listener what DIY really means. I will miss you, Emo Diaries." - Truepunk

"I could write pages on what Deep Elm did with The Emo Diaries, highlighting so many talented bands from around the world in so many diverse styles. The first two volumes are perhaps the most important compilation albums in independent rock. Along the way, the label found some amazing bands, flirted with all of emo's sub-genres and paved the way for a style that was vastly important in indie rock. On Chapter 10, The Hope I Hide Inside, the label is holding nothing back. The Israeli band My Name Is Nobody offers a great mix of in-your-face punk, hardcore and emo with some surprisingly lo-fi screaming. Bailey Drive's song is a nice blast of emo-core that I can't get out of my head, and Lock and Key's track may be the best Hot Water Music song they never made. Deep Elm's latest find, Sounds Like Violence, is brilliant on the album's best track. To replace Emo Diaries, Deep Elm is offering This is Indie Rock. I have little doubt that the new series will yet again introduce me to bands I need to hear more of and to styles that are on the cutting edge. That's the legacy of the Emo Diaries." - Delusions Of Adequacy

Track Name: Chasing Victory - How Would It Phase You?
how would it phase you. if everything you thought you'd feel lay dormant and still. would it effect in the slightest sense at all. would it even cross your mind. to walk the line that you drew a long time ago. don't just jump back and forth. you'll be sorry when i'm gone. how would it phase you. if the walls were closing in. how would it phase you. collapsing lives. uncovering this dead skin. the seasons still change whether you know. you're wasting time that you should've spent on your knees. talking about the world and how you've turned over a new leaf. and now placing your mirrors on the floor means we look down on you when we seek. the more pleasant things that we expected from you. you'll be sorry when i'm gone. i can't see now for the light. and you left me blind. i can't see for the light. and my eyes are sewn shut. when the car crash the fire overwhelms. when the car crash the fire overwhelms. i can see now for the light. and my eyes are no longer sewn shut

Track Name: The Silent Type - Jus Primae Noctis
he began speaking apologies before she had opened her door. it was safer that way. to have had something to say at the moment when fate chose its course. both of them stood there expectantly. betrayed by an innocent gift. he had cornered himself with the roses he held. and he cursed her hands hung so sweetly by their thorns. but it made him feel real. like the present was meant to be lived. and the past could stay hidden for now. while the moment tastes good. the carpet was begging for alibis and the bed was just wishing for sleep. but the longer he stayed the more motives she claimed. like possession had always been hers. before he could speak she had toppled him. forcing his mouth onto hers. then the guilt it did spill. til her mouth it was filled. and she choked on the blame that came forth as it poured. but his venom was curative. and it made her awake from her dream just as he fell asleep again. how else could it end? shaking hands? staying friends? parting ways leaves our sins covered up but not cleaned
