Dahlia Seed was an emo/hardcore band from New York. Having one of the more productive and prolific runs of the early 90s emo scene, Dahlia Seed released 2 albums and a slew of singles in their 4 year run, all the while taking off to tour the country and play bills with many other influential bands. Dahlia Seed while under-heard and underrated, definitely contributed a lasting influence to the emo/post-hardcore scene with their unique blend of New York post-hardcore ala Quicksand and indie-rock. Lead singer Tracy Wilson expertly balances soft sing-song vocals with harsh shouts to create a fun and catchy loud-soft dynamic. I'd definitely recommend checking out their 1996 LP Survived By as it's just a total blast to listen to and one of those formative emo albums for me that I got into way back when.
