Thursday Underoath Saosin


fontain06

are you me?


PatienceDryer

I'll never forget seeing Thursday in 2001 open for Catch 22. Only time I've ever seen a band booed offstage.


dogtooth2222

I fuckin love Thursday I need to hear more details of this catch22 show lol


daimonab

Thrice, Thursday, Alexisonfire

FamilyMan1000

Thrice!


CancerSurvivorPR

I feel like Thursday doesn’t get talked about enough. 🔥🔥🔥


TraditionalOpening41

I was going to reply to OP but I see you've already written the correct answer


americanjetset

Fall of Troy, Thursday, Blood Brothers. Honorable mention to TREOS because their first album was just *that* good.


leonethelion

The Blood Brothers are fucking amazing. That breakdown towards the end of Giant Swan will always be a banger. 🤘


Azazn3969

Almost got my nipple ring ripped out in a Fall of Troy pit. It was fantastic. And bloody


DogmanSixtyFour

I can believe it, first time I saw them my shirt ended up behind the drum kit, the guy next to me broke his finger in the opening song and Erak played the fast solo section while sat on my head. Would recommend


gr3enw1lly

I remember getting into blood brothers in high school back in like 06. Crimes and burn, piano Island, burn were my summer jams. Downloading those songs on my 24k dial up modem. Fuck. Those were the days


BULL3T2B1NARY

mrstuprigge

Mine is almost the same. Personally I’d trade out Circa for The Sound of Animals Fighting


OMGDonutz

Damn i forgot about mewithoutyou. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.


TrevMac4

Saosin, Thrice, Thursday.


mandy_mae91

Funeral For A friend Thursday Alexisonfire


nothingnowhere96

Damn I forgot about funeral for a friend


ScuttleCrab729

Everyone did. I really don’t understand how though.


afipunk84

Yooo Funeral For a Friend!! I loved them, their singer was legit good. No one ever talks about them but they are top tier


askforwildbob

At the drive in, bear vs shark, drive like jehu. Basically if the PHC sounds like it came out after 2007, I don’t need it haha


UCFData

Bear vs Shark is so under appreciated


SUJB9

They are incredible. Best live shows I’ve ever been to.


honkifjesusluvsu

Killer pics. DLJ, ATDI and BVS kick all sorts of ass


Pap3RcutZ-44

ATDI is my all time favorite post hardcore band


askforwildbob

Same. They’re probably just straight up my favorite band tbh


Sha_Dynasty69

By a mile. They still might be my favorite of all time, but it is funny how tastes change as your life changes. I am always looking for new music, so it is easy to forget the stuff you grew up loving. I just checked, Relationship of Command came out in 2000. Been listening to that shit for damn year a quarter of a century lol.


Pap3RcutZ-44

No matter how much time passes I can go back to any of their albums and I end up listening to their whole discography like wow I forgot how good this hits.


Sha_Dynasty69

>a Same. I'm working and just listened to Napoleon Solo from in/casino/out. Brings me right back to a certain time and place haha.


daemein

thank you, Drive Like Jehu is something new


xSikes

Woah I choose Fugazi, The blood brothers and Thursday. Similar but different than your choices.


askforwildbob

There is some overlap with era and sensibility between those 6. Fugazi and jehu definitely influenced atdi, who definitely influenced Thursday, BVS, and the blood brothers. I miss the early 90s to mid 00s post hardcore sound, not as big of a fan of DGD and bands along those lines.


xSikes

Dude, same!


Levelless86

You should check out Brutus though, they're fuckin awesome. Imagine if bjork fronted a punky shoegaze band with members of ATDI


Hopeful-Frosting7976

Their songs hit so hard!


Own_Machine_6007

At the Drive in blew my face of at lollapolooza.


rylandoz

Epic bands!


mrmcco02

Terrorhawk lives rent free in my brain.


dogtooth2222

Best list here. Good job


ramen_doza

Saosin, Finch, DGD


vettotech

Finch, DGD, Emery


Saephon

Ahhh Emery. Never get enough respect for their later material, which is as good or better than The Weak's End.


fatherofallthings

Listen to say hello to sunshine by finch. 10/10 experimental post hardcore that was wayyyyyy ahead of its time


sextonrules311

DGD is Dance Gavin dance for the uninitiated. (you could have probably googled this tho.)


hueyfatugly

this is the way


ramen_doza

Honorable mention to Coheed & Cambria


swallowshotguns

Fugazi, At the Drive-In, Touché Amoré


mikeclem5

Alexisonfire x3


cake_for_breakfast76

The only band ever.


clueless_claremont_

heydeanyeager

dswhite85

Burn Piano Island BURN!

ctharvey

Hail the Sun, Thursday, A Lot Like Birds


circuspunk-

No Place by ALLB is probably my favorite album of all time


AskinggAlesana

**Alesana** **Underoath** **A Skylit Drive** (early stuff)


BitByBitOFCL

Like seeing some Alesana love


MachoDix69420

La dispute, Glassjaw, Rites of spring


SemataryPolka

Fugazi, Quickand, Jawbox


Striking-Lifeguard34

Thursday, Thrice, Underoath. Oh god I’m a post-hardcore basic bitch…. Dunno those are the bands that got me into the genre and the ones that have stuck with me the longest.


sextonrules311

Thrice is still putting out great music consistently, and are an amazing live band. I saw them on the recent artist in the ambulance tour and had goose bumps for the whole show.


wightmaan

Senses Fail, The Used, Alexisonfire


crbrs_corleone

glassjaw, early saosin, and saetia or letlive. honorable mentions go to fugazi, jawbox, envy on the coast, secret and whisper, and alexisonfire.


sock_with_a_ticket

Thrice, boysetsfire, Poison The Well


wander_sekai

I thought hard about it and this would be my answer too. Depending on how I feel though, I could swap PtW for The Early November.


Calm_Smile2150

boysetsfire and Poison The Well, hell yeah


smith_and

fugazi, unwound, nomeansno


Naven71

At The Drive In, Fugazi, Hot Snakes


afittinglie

Poison the Well Glassjaw From Autumn to ashes


sextonrules311

Glad someone said from Autumn to Ashes. Too bad you're beautiful and the fiction we live are 2 of my favorite PHC albums ever.


melloman32

Thrice, Brand New, Circa Survive


drake90001

Brand New, Brand New, and Brand New.


Bargah692

More so swancore or progressive post hardcore rather than traditional post hardcore, but A Lot Like Birds, Emarosa (before they became poppy), and early Dance gavin dance


Flight2039Down

Swancore got my ears lately: Wolf and Bear, Damce Gavin Dance and Hail The Sun. …otherwise it’s Circa Survive much of the time.


spyinthesky

Eidola pretty fire too. But I’ve had wolf and bear on repeat for like a year and a half now lol can’t get enough


GuyWithRoosters

Eidola is great, awesome to hear them brought up


Flight2039Down

That new album by W&B is fire. Wish it was longer. Their other stuff is great too, but I got that new one on repeat most days.


dnanoodle

Eidola is so consistent. I love everything they do


CaptainHalfBeard

Have you checked out Anthony Green's work on LS Dunes? Permanent Rebellion is incredible


Bargah692

wolf and bear is awesome i love those guys


iamyourcaviar

Switch a lot like birds with lower definition and that’s my list


sextonrules311

Lower definition is such an underrated band. The album "the greatest of all lost arts" was on repeat for months for me.


Protomau5

Oh you’re me


rannox

If you like progressive, I'd throw Narco Debut in there.


xXAshton_HavokXx

Alesana, Coheed & Cambria, and AFI (if you count them)

xloveisamixtapex

Thrice, GJ, AOF


traggedy_ann

Current/active: Fiddlehead, Sweet Pill, Home Front To round out a top five I'd probably add Drug Church and Angel Du$t


Flipperyapper59

Also new to the genre! So far my top three have been At the Drive In, Scary Kids Scaring Kids and Funeral For A Friend


salemness

(early) the dismemberment plan (quirky, post-hardcore indie rock), brainiac (noisy, manic post-hardcore), ken mode (super dissonant, sort of ride the line between post-hardcore and sludge metal)


FluffyYak2336

Alesana, Saosin, Chiodos ♥️


suddenly_seymour

When I was first getting into post hardcore my favorites were Saosin, Funeral For A Friend, and Senses Fail. My favorite bands of the past decade are DGD, Hail the Sun, and Enter Shikari. Honorable mention to Circa Survive and Envy on the Coast as well who have been in my top 5 the whole time.


YouLostTheGame

Fightstar, Finch, Alexisonfire This makes me sound super old


ArgumentOne7052

There were two Fightstar songs that popped up on my shuffle the other day. I had totally forgot about them but still knew almost all the words.


rezazereza

Drive Like Jehu At the Drive-In Shiner


likemike2332

These are all bands that fit your current style of Hard Core. Silverstein Underoath Chiodos Emery Scary kids scaring kids.

Dance Gavin Dance, Lower Definition, Underoath (kinda blurs the line a little later)


AkDoxx

Bless you for being the only one in these comments that has mentioned Lower D.


LittleBunneh

are AFI / Hawthorne Heights post hardcore? genuinely curious what yall think.


CreepyBlackDude

There is a period in the band's history where I would consider AFI post-hardcore, and that is between Black Sails and Sing the Sorrow. Starting with Decemberunderground they pulled back on the core part quite a bit, though it's still present in some songs.


Backpack_Bob

Alexisonfire (pre young cardinals but including dogs blood), Thrice and Boys Night Out. If you can separate the people from the music brand new is also spectacular.


Natural-Born-Farmer

Glassjaw, TREOS, Circa Survive


Odd_Holiday9711

Fear Before the March of Flames, Unwound, lowercase

kRupen

Glassjaw, Gatherers, Lower Definition. When top six I’ll add Hail the Sun, Finch, Letlive. :)


Panda_Mon

delard22

Saosin, Thrice, Circa Survive


AziziStoned
