At the turn of the new decade, two disparate cities (New York and San Diego) were home to explosions of bands who could be characterised as emo. New York spawned Iconoclast, Rye Coalition, Quicksand and notably Native Nod (pictured). They released three EPs, nine songs which would later be collated on the album Today Puberty, Tomorrow The World, that are now considered a benchmark of emo music thanks to their passion, dynamic musicianship and driving melodies.
