| Current Hardcore Trip
Never could get into straight up Hardcore, but as of recently I can't get enough of it. I know some of these aren't Hardcore, but their roots are still planted in the genre. And fuck, that's what I have you guys for anyways to lead me in the right direction. | | 6 |  | CityCop

Why did it take so long for acoustic and screamed vocals to come together like this? Its fucking amazing, its ruthless and calm at the same time. I fucking love it. | | 5 |  | Pianos Become the Teeth
The Lack Long After
When I first saw this on Best New Music I thought it had an awesome album cover. Went to youtube and listened only to sadden myself that it wasn't what I'd hoped for. I listen now, and I think that it is the band that has the most upside in my opinion. 'Good Times' is possibly one of my favorite songs, not just within the genre, but of all time. | | 4 |  | Defeater
Travels
Never listened to this until now, but I remember seeing the cover of Empty Days and Sleepless Nights and thinking about how it reminded me of TDAGARIM, so I clicked on it only to see Touche Amore listed as a similar band. I made a quick 180 and said, fuck thattt. Listened to 'Travels' and ED&SN recently and I loved both. Though the concept is basically copied on ED&SN, I didn't think that too much of a good thing was bad. | | 3 |  | Touche Amore
...To The Beat of a Dead Horse
Touche Amore is a band who I read their name and album name and immediantly thought that they were going to be badass. When I listened, I was like, "WHAT THE UFCK NO CLEAN VOCALS??" ( Keep in mind, this is also when I thought ...In Shallow Seas We Sail was the GOAT of post-hardcore.) Now I appreciate the ferociousness of it. It's like a knock out punch packed into a single album. Though I will admit I feel like the lyrics are a bit immature at times, but fuck me right. | | 2 |  | La Dispute
Somewhere at the Bottom of the River...
This was an album that when I first listened to it about 2 years ago, I actually enjoyed; more than likely because the lead singer sounded reminiscent of Aaron Weiss. But after listening to it past the 4th track, I became really annoyed with Dreyer, I just wanted him to shut the fuck up, I want to hear the instrumentals. Now I actually really enjoy everything about it. I love his quirkyness and the never-knowing-when he is going to scream or talk. The instrumentals are great as well, the melodic sections are just great imo. Almost rated this a 5, but choose against it. Still haven't decided yet, but I'm probably leaning towards a 4.5 | | 1 |  | Circle Takes the Square
As the Roots Undo
Age: 16. 1st Listen: Man, this album is a piece of shit
Age: 17. 2nd Listen: Man, this album is a piece of shit[2]
Now, Age 19, 3rd listen: My God... this is mind blowing. I really fucking hate how long my taste takes to develop. | |

08.09.13 | So yeah, tell me how none of this is actual hardcore/its shitty/listen to [insert band name from 90's who is actual hardcore], etc. This is my stepping stone, so lead me in the right path. | jdennis31
08.09.13 | thought you were tripping hardcore. not sure if i could listen to any of this while trippin hardcore. | Guzzo10
08.09.13 | that title is misleading, damn | jdennis31
08.09.13 | i'm not good with genres. but Hot Cross - Cryonics is somewhat in the vein of circle takes the square, cept more vocally pleasant imo. great guitar work too. | Kman418
08.09.13 | why nt just say "post hardcore and screamo" so you don't have to give that whole explanation | Guzzo10
08.09.13 | Because then that would make the description shorter, obviously | alachlahol
08.09.13 | dont know what people are complainin about. youre on the path to a life of great hardcore | Guzzo10
08.09.13 | I actually already listen to Black Flag, lol.
Always thought of it as more punk then hardcore, but my idea of genres seems skewed apparently | Guzzo10
08.09.13 | wait... I was actually right about a genre
fuck yes | alachlahol
08.09.13 | guzzo are you saying you actually just ASSUMED black flag were punk without having any real punk or hardcore knowledge?? when i was a young lad like you i just thought of black flag as "noise". you are wise beyond your years | Guzzo10
08.09.13 | can't tell if that is said tongue-in-cheek so I'm just going to leave it unanswered without embarrassing myself lol | ResidentNihilist
08.09.13 | Tbh 1 is not one of those albums that I feel takes years to understand, it's just an exercise in how not to use odd time signatures and write discordant music. There isn't anything there worth investing any time to understand, it's just pure shit, plain and simple. | Kman418
08.09.13 | no fuck u ur wrong | Cygnatti
08.09.13 | yeah, most of this is post-hxc and skramz. misleading title indeed.
lol, alach. | Guzzo10
08.09.13 | Was slightly hoping for more recs, instead it turned into genre arguments
Bump for recs | Shimana
08.10.13 | well plain jane hardcore is a bit boring, so nice list but yea skramz not hardcore | MosesMalone
08.10.13 | Ugh | ShadowRemains
08.10.13 | "Was slightly hoping for more recs, instead it turned into genre arguments"
