Slum
05.11.10 | Most popular responses will probably be mewithoutYou, La Dispute, At The Drive-In and for good reason. They fucking rule. Check 'em out. |
TheNewWhack
05.11.10 | Going by your taste and tolerance, I'd start with Silverstein - A Shipwreck in the Sand. |
Transient

AbyssalCreation
05.11.10 | Hopesfall-The Satellite Years and No Wings to Speak Of
Glassjaw-Worship and Tribute
Alexisonfire-Crisis,Self-titled
Beloved-Failure On
move on to these. |
Niceinvader
05.11.10 | just stick with what transient said |
TheNewWhack
05.11.10 | Props for mentioning Beloved. Failure On might be the best Post Hardcore album ever. |
Niceinvader
05.11.10 | you could maybe try life in your way- waking giants |
AbyssalCreation
05.11.10 | Thanks TheNewWhack, I think so too.
I second Wittwrights rec DGD is damn good. |
sniper
05.11.10 | Yeah Dance Gavin Dance.
And then get way into The Fall of Troy's self-titled, then try out some AtD-I again. |
Prophet178
05.11.10 | "thrice -> glassjaw -> la dispute -> fugazi -> at the drive-in"
This, just skip Thrice and Glassgaw and get to the good shit. |
TheNewWhack
05.11.10 | He Is Legend - I Am Hollywood. It might be the only album that rivals Beloved. Lots of great stuff for starter Post Hardcore though. |
qwe3
05.11.10 | 1 and 2 suck ass |
qwe3
05.11.10 | "thrice -> glassjaw -> la dispute -> fugazi -> at the drive-in"
this except i'd switch glassjaw with fugazi |
TheNewWhack
05.11.10 | The new Glassjaw needs to drop soon... I might have to start shooting members of Head Automatica. |
SeaAnemone
05.11.10 | yeah 1 and 2 are pretty horrible, try some better post-hardcore like
Armchairpolitician - Seven Segment Decoder
At the Drive-In - Vaya EP
Fugazi - End Hits
Trophy Scars - Hospital Music
Meet Me In St. Louis - Variations on Swing
Skycamefalling - 10.21
The Blood Brothers - Burn Piano Island, Burn
the last two aren't as PH, but still fantastic. and personally, I'd recommend you stray away from some of these recs like FFAF, DGD, Enter Shikari stuff but yeah |
sniper
05.11.10 | I like Doppelganger :( |
sniper
05.11.10 | *liked
grew off me a looooooooooot after it spent a year being the most amazing thing ever. Seriously have like 300 plays of I Just Got This Symphony Goin' from my sophomore year. Good times. |
SeaAnemone
05.11.10 | eh, to each his own. it's not for me. |
sniper
05.11.10 | It was def the best thing I had ever heard when I first got it, but it's place was most definitely as a gateway album to better hardcore in general. |
TheNewWhack
05.11.10 | Def a gateway album. It's the weed of Post Hardcore. |
sniper
05.11.10 | And that makes AtD-I what, the LSD?
LSD sounds right. |
WatchItExplode
05.11.10 | Dance Gavin Dance for shure, I struggle a bit with post-hardcore as well |
204409
05.11.10 | A great but unheralded starting place could be Hopesfall's [i]A Types[/i]. Check out the song "Owl" or "Breathe From Coma." This album and [i]Magnetic North[/i] are closest to what you're describing in this list to the Emery and Receiving End of Sirens while being different enough to push you in a new direction. Also, if you're feeling particularly adventurous you should check out their weirdest (and best!) album [i]The Satellite Years[/i], which takes a more stripped, harsh approach to post-hardcore but injects it with post-rock and a sort of spacey edge. |
SeaAnemone
05.11.10 | ^yes definitely Hopesfall nice call, The Satellite Years is fantastic. |
crazyblinddude
05.11.10 | hmm you all seem to know what youre talking about. very insightful indeed. |

05.11.10 | Meet Me In St. Louis |

05.11.10 | ATDI > |
nastynick
05.11.10 | fugazi and at the drive-in are the must haves, while all the rest will come along the way. either way, fugazi is the greatest post-hardcore band ever. Tell me otherwise and I'll shove my foot in Sputnik's collective ass. |
sniper
05.11.10 | I like At the Drive-In a lot better than Fugazi, but AtD-I would have been nowhere without Fugazi, and Fugazi are just objectively the most important post hardcore band ever so yeah, pretty much. |
MoistMike
05.11.10 | First off you definitly need to avoid fucking Dance Gavin Dance at all costs. That band blows. Listen to some Glassjaw, Drive Like Jehu and Thrice if you need that extra push to get into At the Drive In. I heard Fugazi was good too but i havent checked them out yet. |
crazyblinddude
05.12.10 | thanks all!
i'll start to check out the stuff you guys suggested |
ElLumsdinho
08.05.10 | You need some UK post-hardcore bands in there as well. Try Hundred Reasons, Hell Is For Heroes, Reuben and Million Dead. Give Helmet a go too, they influenced Reuben greatly and were referenced in one of their songs. |
Ire
08.05.10 | Blood Brothers maaaan |
WeepingBanana
08.05.10 | if you can't listen to atd-i yet i wouldn't touch glassjaw
bear vs shark are a very nice post-hardcore intro band
work your way up to at the drive-in and glassjaw because they really are great |
