Yeah I started listening to TBS and Thursday back when I was a freshman in HS.

Listened to a lot of Saves The Day too.

Thursday was on of the first and best bands to really define post hardcore, IMO.

A Change of Pace and A Matchbook Romance were Hs favorites too. Escape the Fate and From First to Last had a couple of good CDs and so did the Used.

All this post hardcore talk, and no mention of At the Drive or Refused?
most of the bands mentioned sound like they bought Relationship of Command and The Shape of Punk to Come, and then decided they were going to start a band. IMO.

Tell us what you like dude! That's why I made this thread.

My friends were really in to At The Drive In, I just wasn't feeling it.

I guess that when I hear the word "hardcore", I assume that people are talking about the speed punk bands like the Misfits, Minor Threat, Circle Jerks, etc. I figured that post-hardcore tied into that somehow.

The categorization of music seems to be shifting sands. For example, at one time X was considered a punk band and now they're Americana.

It's crazy that X was considered punk.

Excellent list volnbham. That's pretty much what I listen to + some more power pop like the Only Ones, The Posies, and Gigolo Aunts. Aztect Camera and Prefab Sprout were great bands from that era, but I doubt that has anything to do with this thread.

Btw, I used to date a girl named eXene. Her parents named her after the lead singer of X...

This band called Secret And Whisper keeps popping up on my Circa Survive/Dance Gavin Dance Pandora station. I'm digging them. Similar to Saosin.

Refused were so good. TSOPTC is up there with "The Velvet Underground and Nico" and "London Calling" on my best punk albums list.

The Replacements transcended "scene music" into what it is today. Any good hipster will agree. Way underrated band. Love Replacements

You guys should check out the ****, Shower, and Shave bootleg. I thinks it circa 89, and has some great live tracks from an East Coast tour.

mats live stuff sounds way better than their studio stuff. Something about the mix is off. IMO

I thinks is still available on aquariumdrunkard.com

Man, I freaking love The Sound Of Animals Fighting. Anthony Green, Craig Owens, and a ton of other extremely talented musicians.

Gotta say I'm having an Emery revival right now. I love "In a Lose, Lose Situation" from The Question.

Dammit. I was trying so hard to not post in this thread until someone mentioned Refused.

really hope I get a chance to see them on their little reunion tour. one of my all time faves. Never really dug atid. Never dug most of the bands mentioned here. I was a music snob in some aspects when it came to the post hardcore/screamo genres. Some decent ones mentioned but okay, here's a short list of what I ran with back in the day, some are bands I shared shows with, others that had broken up before I got to see them live, so on. Lots of late 90s stuff


Orchid
Saetia
Hot Cross
Neil Perry
Joshua Fit For Battle
The locust
Welcome The Plague Year
The Assistant
Refused
Phoenix Bodies
Towers
Crimson Curse
Swing Kids
Panthers
The Icarus Line
Ink and Dagger
Tunes for Bears to Dance To
I Would Set Myself on Fire For You
Jesse Washington
Capsule



Some of my favorite pop punk and/or indie rockish bands

Saves the day (circa 98-2003)
New found glory (circa 99-03)
Fairweather
The get up kids
Hot rod circuit
The promise ring
Mineral
Jimmy eat world
Twothirtyeight
Cap n jazz
Reggie and the full effect
New amsterdams


Alright that's enough for now.
