Decoder - St. Petersburg, FL AP.net Profile | Bandcamp Why We Like: Ocreana fans mourning the departure of Keith Jones and Jack Burns found comfort in Decoder's 2011 debut self-titled album. Along with former members of Of Machines and VersaEmerge, Decoder is a haunting post-hardcore treat. Drawing similarities to Oceana (duh) and late As Cities Burn, the album is a heavy and rich throughout its 10 tracks and fans will be drawn into the depth and complexity of Decoder's sound. RIYL: As Cities Burn, Oceana
Believers
I like As Cities Burn, but the only Oceana release I like is Clean Head. This band's screams just make the whole thing seem so phoned in.

Ghost Thrower - Boston, MA AP.net Profile | Facebook Why We Like: From the ashes of Therefore I Am emerges Ghost Thrower. Led by former TIA guitarist Travis Alexander, Ghost Thrower is offers up a dirty and chaotic punk sound, swelling with urgency and desolation. Ghost Thrower's debut EP laces their aggression with catchy hooks, as each track will bounce around in your head for a while. At the end of the day, Alexander's words will resonate with any listener who has experience their own tough times. RIYL: Fear Before, Therefore I Am
Prima and Sinatra
Band rules and should be getting more attention. Fear Before is the first comparison I'd come up with, though I'd throw At the Drive-In and La Dispute in that arena too. The slow song on their first EP has a definite Thursday vibe, too.

letlive. - Los Angeles, CA AP.net Profile | Facebook Why We Like: We'll remember letlive.'s debut album "Fake History" as the album that introduce the scene to the next great frontman, Jason Butler. The screams are sporadic and gutsy, and they're accompanied by a wide variety of tempo changes throughout Fake History. The band transitions seamlessly from jazzy pop passages and moving ballads to crazy time signatures and crushing heavy moments. Fake History never gets stale, proving to be one of the most cohesive albums you'll hear. RIYL: Glassjaw, Refused, craziness
The Sick, Sick, 6.8 Billion
A band with a great aesthetic and direction and should therefore be something that's directly up my alley, but I just can't get into them and I don't know why.

Kerouac - London, England AP.net Profile | Bandcamp Why We Like: The UK's Kerouac serves up the kind of crushing metalcore that very few of their American peers can match. Armed with a handful of splits and their EP Cold and Distant, Not Loving, Kerouac will be an instant favorite amongst metalcore fans that prefer the stylings of The Chariot. Tracks like "Fiends," "Little Mountains We Move," and "A Sheep. A Well." deliver colossal riffs and devastating breakdowns, all paced by the unforgiving growl of vocalist Thom Denson. Don't miss out on the next great import from Europe. RIYL: The Chariot, Norma Jean, This Is Hell
Fiends
Yeah, this band's cool. The UK has a lot of neat obscure hardcore bands.

Permanent Bastards - Toronto, ON AP.net Profile | Bandcamp Why We Like: This band has been slugging it out in Canada these last few years, but it seems like all that hard work is starting to pay off. The band just announced that they signed with Anchorless Records in the States and will be releasing a new 7" this fall. In the meantime, be sure to check out Emericans. It's a great punk records that fans of bands like Smoke or Fire will probably appreciate. RIYL: Smoke or Fire, Against Me!
Band definitely has kind of a boner for Against Me! but they're pretty good at it. Last full-length was pretty solid.

One of the many things that AP does right are lists like these. Thank you so much for painstakingly compiling a list like this. I went through it and picked out the must-hears based on the RILY. I'm set for a few weeks. Fantastic!

You got technical, and yes, it does exist but just not known as B Sharp, right?

True, it just isn't known as B Sharp as commonly. But some pieces of music are in keys where it will appear as B# for aesthetic reasons, so notes don't get clumped together and you can't tell what it says. Besides that, douche bags call it B#, and you sir are not a douche bag.
