Music suggestions for a post-hardcore rediscoverie?

[rockstarK9]

So after swimming in indie waters for the last two years, I've gotten back into post-hardcore. It's gotten to a point where I'm now hooked on Underoath, when just a few years ago I used to despise them.

Anyone have any band suggestions I should check out?

I'm rockstarK9 on lala.com if you wanna shoot me a recommendation that way.

[mattmatumbo]

... Like old kidcrash?

[thespearkid]

I recommend you stop listening to Underoath.

[Klatzke]

I recommend you stop listening to Underoath.
Seconded. Listen to Hands.

I'm rockstarK9 on lala.com if you wanna shoot me a recommendation that way.I swim in those waters occasionally but look for something more original (because algebra/mathcore is my thing)

Ummm

Norma Jean (they used to be mathcore, then metalcore and now post-hardcore... you prolly know them though)
The Almighty Proxy (just released an EP)
The Fall Of Troy (if you'll call them post-hardcore.)
Alexisonfire (if you don't know them that's really sad.)
Thursday (read previous parentheses)
Drowning Scarlett (realll underground but if you like Emanuel mixed with DGD and Blood Brothers' voices you might like them.)
At The Drive-In (vintage ish)
GlassJAw (kinda expected)
Fear Before [The March Of Flames]

ummm quote me if you like this list or not and depending on your answer I may or may not be able to help.

[Dymytry Vance]

Seconded. Listen to Hands.Oooooohhhhh Hands!!! :-0 :-) And thirded if that's a credible phrase/word.

[Rawrr]

Not really Post -Hardcore, kind of I guess, but still better than anything else mentioned thus far...

[mht]

Wow this thread

[mattmatumbo]

yo Jokes is where its at.

True true, i don't really call them post-hardcore just because they're so so different that anything else i've heard, except hot cross i guess.

[Regards]

Seconded. Listen to Hands.
2nd on Hands. Listen to 'em.

[MatthiasEllis]

Oooooohhhhh Hands!!! :-0 :-) And thirded if that's a credible phrase/word.

What the fuck is 'post-hardcore'?

Metalcore on estrogen or pop-punk on steroids. It's become a watered-down genre with a few good bands still in it, but most of it is just this new wave of Sc3n3 H1PST3rzzzz

Do we really need a new name for every slight tweak in music trends that comes along? Like, what makes this 'post-hardcore' different enough from 'hardcore' to necessitate a new name?

With the great music tastes you have.. i'm guessing you are just being sarcastic...

[Dymytry Vance]

Do we really need a new name for every slight tweak in music trends that comes along? Like, what makes this 'post-hardcore' different enough from 'hardcore' to necessitate a new name?Well A.) this genre has been around for twenty years and has a definition of "singing with screaming... melodies similar to pop-punk or metalcore." So everything from Armor For Sleep to the new Norma Jean to old/new FBTMOF can fit into it. Glassjaw and Fugazi were like the pioneers I gues of Post-hardcore. If you ahven't heard of them that is ultra-sad...

Nation of Ulysses
These Arms are Snakes
Fugazi

I think these are Post Hardcore.

[briewer]

No, I'm being completely serious. I can understand how Nick Drake and The Beatles are different enough to require being named 'folk' and 'rock', respectively, and Iggy Pop 'punk', Sly And The Family Stone 'funk', David Bowie 'glam rock', Joy Division 'post-punk', Kraftwerk 'electronic', Pixies 'alternative', Wu-Tang Clan 'hip hop', etc. Those names are necessary because they are wildly different takes on music. But the number of different genre names in 'the scene' is absurd. Pop-punk, emo, screamo, hardcore, metalcore, completelyunnecessarynumberofspinof fgenreswithcoreattheendcore, indie, etc., etc., etc., when it's really mostly part of a larger whole, 'the scene.' I mean, do we really need distinct names for what is just really bands putting their own spin on 'the scene' aesthetic?

Okay, maybe what I was thinking was 'hardcore' is 'post-hardcore'. Then what the fuck is 'hardcore'? And why should I care when the only genres I care to recognize are "things my face likey" and "things my face don't"?

Oh, and I've heard of those bands, duh.

Wrong.

These labels are unnecessary, especially with the amount of confusion surrounding all of these "post" and "core" labels.

If the OP is looking for something like Underoath just go to Solid State's website and listen to all the other mediocre bands there.

Hardcore is actually hardcore punk which is defined as a musical genre with a strong DIY ethic and political-based lyrics with fast-paced short songs with little room for melodicism... the ones with melodicism are melodic hardcore...

Dymtry Vance is burning up wikipedia tonight. Are you one of Evan's fake accounts?

It can also relate to Hardcore Techno. Hardcore techno, often referred to as just "hardcore", is a style of electronic music that originated in the early-to-mid-1990s in multiple locations including the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Belgium and the UK. The style is typified by a fast tempo. and the rhythmic use of distorted and atonal industrial-like beats and samples.

[Klatzke]

2nd on Hands. Listen to 'em.
I don't like the new album much.

Well, I'm not saying I want Underoath like bands, I'm just throwing that out there as an example. I've been a fan of Thursday, Taking Back Sunday, The Used, Fear Before, and ISMFOF. I'm just looking for more bands to further explore this genre, without getting into all these new metalcore bands.

I'm gonna check a lot of these bands today, thanks for the recs guys!

[MattADALIE]

Check out my band, for starters. We have a mix of post-hardcore influences in our sound.

I know you mentioned Underoath, but, if you happen to also be into bands like Taking Back Sunday, Thursday, Glassjaw, Coheed & Cambria, Thrice, and many more, give us a shot.

[Regards]

I don't like the new album much.
I can understand that. Getting over the initial hype, they dropped alot of the cool post-rock/metal sound that was on SOTE, but I think its still a great metalcore album.

For sure. None of the cool dynamics like were in "Hope" on SOTE.

Agree'd. Still jams though. Did you get a chance to listen to my CD at all?

[Klatzke]

Only a little bit.

Only a little bit.
Right on. Any thoughts, opinions?

Really man, I barely listen to metalcore anymore haha. I've been finding it harder and harder to get into. I've really only listened to the first track and what you guys had up on your 'space awhile back.

not remotely close to being post hardcore.

It's all gravy duder, that's all you had to say. I go through my moments of months at a time where I can't touch anything metal for the life of me, I know how it goes.

Mmmhmm. For some reason it's been indie/indie/indie recently. I'm not sure what's up haha I think its cause summers dying down. Only metalcore I've listened to recently is Dead and Divine

Yeah, I've started spinning Jon Foreman and Bon Iver alot lately, so you're not alone hahaha.

[Klatzke]

I feel ya on Bon Iver. Them, the Antlers, J Tillman, and Loney, Dear are what I've been playing a lot of.

I'm sensing some rec's. I'll have to check them out.

[Klatzke]

If ya dig bon iver you should like most of them.

[inthemidst]

Oh, Sleeper is the best post-hardcore/metalcore band out there now in my opinion. Underoath is good too, but the genre is losing a lot of its luster it previosly gained.

[thespearkid]

hahah. Would make sense. Award winning question: has he graduated highschool?
Evan? Yeah, he graduated a 16. The guy's like a retarded genius, like Rainman or Forrest Gump.

hahah I know. I was talking about Vance.

Eh... I don't know how to put it. Labeling music is so sensitive anyway. I know bands like Thursday are always batched into the post-hardcore realm and such.
