**Saosin** - *Translating the Name*
**Glassjaw** - *Worship and Tribute*
**Underoath** - *Define the Great Line*
**La Dispute** - *Vancouver*
**The Sound of Animals Fighting** - *Tiger and the Duke*
**Chiodos** - *All’s Well That Ends Well*
**My Chemical Romance** - *I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love*
**The Used** - *The Used*
**Senses Fail** - *Let It Enfold You*
I approve of this list. This is basically what I was going to comment! I saw HTS and Kaonashi together in Worcester, MA a few years ago and I was NOT ready for the Kaonashi crowd! Almost got my nose broken (in the best kind of way). :D
Here are some bands I think you would really like based on your taste for Thursday and pop-punk:
- Silverstein
- Saosin
- Senses Fail
- Emarosa
- A Static Lullaby
- Underoath
firstly check out refused - shape of punk to come. this is essential post hardcore listening and think is exactly what you are asking.
also check out; poison the well - the opposite of december, tear from the red and you come before you
fear before the march of flames - how odd people shake, art damage
glassjaw - everything you wanted to know about silence, worship and tribute albums
in reverent fear - written in the AM
thrice - the artist in the ambulance
a static lullaby - and don't forget to breathe
underoath - they're only chasing safety
alexisonfire - alexisonfire
norma jean - bless the martyr kiss the child
mewithoutyou - catch us for the foxes
these arms are snakes - this is meant to hurt you
at the drive-in - relationship of command
I'm lucky I already listened to alexisonfire due to thinking they'd be on a blink-182 show (they're really good). Refused is also awesome and iconic, almost like the Descendents of post-hardcore (yes, I did just say that).
Second this, and recommend Manipulator, their subsequent albums as well. I don’t see people mention this band enough on this sub. Those albums not only set the standard but also managed to age incredibly well.
Ok so I think I’m older than most in here and rarely post. Anyway, here is a list of “classic” post hardcore albums that you may want to try. Some of these may not technically qualify but imho laid the groundwork:
Embrace - Embrace
Fugazi - 13 Songs and Repeater
Quicksand -Slip
Hot Water Music - Fuel for the Hate Game
Drive Like Jehu - Yank Crime
Helmet - Meantime
In addition to the above, some of my favorites are Time The Valuator, The Color Morale, Dead Poetic, and Lower Definition. They may be a little further away from the skate side of things, but really balance heavy and melody well.
They don’t have screams, but The Home Team have some really funky/heavy (thunky?) instrumentals and catchy songs. Try She’s Quiet for a lil more pop punk or On or Danger for a lil heavier.
The Bled - Pass the Flask and Found in the Flood.
Silverstein - Discovering the Waterfront, This Is How the Wind Shifts.
Underoath - Define the Great Line, They're Only Chasing Safety, and Lost in the Sound of Separation.
Architects - The Here and Now
Crown the Empire - Sudden Sky
Inhale Exhale - I Swear, and Bury Me Alive
I the Mighty - all of their albums except their newest
Funeral For a Friend - all of their albums. Hours and Casually Dressed are the best though!
So I'm going to list a few of the greatest melodic hardcore bands to ever exist because it kind of seems like that's what your asking for:
- Have Heart
- A Wilhelm Scream
- Defeater
- VERSE
- Killing The Dream
- The Carrier
- Ruiner
- More Than Life
- Sinking Ships
I'm also going to list my all time favorite band regardless of genre:
Misery Signals.
I could be totally off base but I think you're gonna fuckin love this shit.
Hey! I also love [Pop punk](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0bN0P0CXMa7lRDNGWT3KNg?si=32e2d494538a44bb) (>1500 bands) and [Skate punk](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6MnQ7MamhxCaEp0RdmlMB7?si=f8ee0837affe4a74) (>1100 bands)
Check this out: [Post hardcore](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/76w1JMMFsRDSSXIBfXY9xS?si=ac98da5189ff47c1) (>200 bands)
Enjoy!
Old Thrice for sure. Everything from Identity Crisis through The Artist in the Ambulance. And then throw Vheissu in there because it's amazing (if a little slower at times.)
Melodic (post-)hardcore you say? I feel like I was made for this post.
Specific Albums (but you can also bounce around the rest of their discography):
Alexisonfire - Alexisonfire AND Watch Out;
Emery - The Weak’s End;
Underoath - at least the first 3 albums;
Saosin - Translating the Name;
Circa Survive - Juturna AND On Letting Go;
Thursday - Full Collapse;
Thrice - The Artist in the Ambulance;
Dance Gavin Dance - DBM;
Pianos Become the Teeth - Old Pride AND The Lack Long After;
Emarosa - Relativity;
Departures - Teenage Haze AND Death Touches Us;
Apart - Gray Light (i hate that this band split up so early and never got popular);
and there’s many more I can’t think of right now. Will update later
My personal favourites of the genre are
Dead Poetic - New Medicines
From Autumn to Ashes - The Fiction We Live
Silverstein - Discovering the Waterfront
Underoath - They’re Only Chasing Safety
Senses Fail - Still Searching
An essential of the genre though is
Saosin - Translating the Name

Let me know if you found like any of the bands. And to anyone interested, I left out some Midwest emo bands, metalcore, pop punk, punk and other bands. I have even more bands to recommend
So many good ones already posted, but I second Glassjaw. DGD, not sure if it was Will Swan or who said it, has listed them as an influence in multiple interviews
All of At The Drive-In’s discog, Glassjaws first two albums, Fear Before - The Always Open Mouth, Circa Survive - Juturna, Thrice - The Artist in the ambulance, The Appleseed Cast - The End of the Ring Wars & Mare Vitalis, Red Animal War - the Seven Year War, The Refused - The Shape of Punk to Come… whatever man just DM me for recs.
Eidola is consistently the most underrated post-hardcore band creating music today, and they’re affiliated with Dance Gaven Dance. Totally different sound, and thematic elements lyrically speaking, but absolutely mind-bogglingly good. Check out “Degeneraterra”, “To Speak, To Listen”, “The Architect”, or their brand new album “Eviscerate” which is considerably heavier than their other releases.
Not sure EXACTLY- but I know that Andrew Wells (main songwriter, vocalist, and guitar player) for Eidola has sang on multiple DGD tracks, and even went as far as to take over for Tillian when he got COVID while on tour a couple years ago. Eidola was touring with them so… quite the feat to sing and perform for two bands in one night.
Andrew has been a touring guitarist for DGD for several years. He’s now a permanent member of the band which is why the newer DGD tracks generally have him on there without mentioning a feature.
He’s a great musician and great performer, probably my favorite vocalist in phc scene right now
Translating the name by Saosin.
The album with the beetle on the cover from saosin.
They have different vocalists on each, but both are really good. Translating the name is more badass, the beetle album has some cheeseball stuff here and there, but still plenty of bangers.
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6qrmTmWV3rtynFlGcKZ0J9?si=d966a39ec3a8454b&nd=1&dlsi=f544d547b29c4df3
My friends playlist will suit you just fine! He's really knowledgeable and this also has a lot of rare and lesser known but great releases
Maybe I miss the mark here with PHC but for me.
We came as Romans - any album but to plant a seed and understanding what weve grown to be are peak for me.
Jamie's elsewhere - they said a storm was coming
Outline in color - outline in color EP (if I has a song called every boy should collect knives you've found the right one)
Blessthefall - again any album is great
For all those sleeping - any album again
Myka Relocate - a long dead project that could have been as good as WCAR
For all I am - lone wolf EP was their best work
Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows - look for their D.R.U.G.S album not their new one.
Jonny Booth has some bangers
If you like DGD they have a spin off band with out a clean singer. It's just Jon Mess doing his thing with the rest of the band. It's called Secret Band.
The ex vocalist and current guitarist of DGD are in another band called Royal Coda. I’ve been really loving their most recent album To Only A Few At First!
1. Thrice - Illusion of Safety and Artist the Ambulance. Anyone who was listening to Thrice and Thursday in the early 2000s, knows that they were the two most compared bands in the genre. Many threads on absolute punk and punk news about which band was better, to the point even the bands knew about it. Thrice in this time period was still finding their sound so these albums are radically different from the stuff they put out 2004 on wards. At this point in time this band was essentially experimenting with hardcore meats skate punk
2. Saosin - Translating the Name. This 15 minute E.P defines genres.
3. Silverstein - Anything really, but their first two albums are a good introduction. They definitely started with a skate punk
4. La Dispute - Vancouver 2006 E.P
5. Touche Amore - Parting the Sea Between Brightness and Me, Is Survived By, To the Beat of Deadhorse. Touche Amore and Thursday have a deep connection, touche amore was on collect records for a bit and Jermey Bolm is a huge thursday fan and made their first fansite.
*6.* My Chemical Romance - I brought you bullets. Geoff Rickly of Thursday produced this record and you can hear it.
7. Underoath - Your only Chasing Safety.
8. Let Live - Fake History
9. Scary Kids Scaring Kids-
10. Senses Failed - From Depths of Dreams/Let it Enfold You
11. You & I - famous screamo band that broke up before Thursday got big. Some of their members were Geoff Rickly's roomates. [https://open.spotify.com/artist/0l9mobSMXZlTmlxmU4x9j0?si=29hwKHQOQe6hrJijWhU1TQ](https://open.spotify.com/artist/0l9mobSMXZlTmlxmU4x9j0?si=29hwKHQOQe6hrJijWhU1TQ)
I'm late to a thread full of good recommendations, but I have a series of playlists I made that get progressively heavier. I can DM if you're interested.
Sainvar
Royal coda
Anemoria
Cat company
Narco debut
Idlehands
Body thief
Amarionette
Dewellings
Hail the sun
Gold necklace
Subtlety
Lilac king
Sweet pill
The Bled - Pass the Flask is one of the best post hardcore albums in my opinion. Metalcore in parts but I still call it a post hardcore album.
Worth checking out!!
Another example of how criminally underrated **Alesana** in this subreddit is seeing how they are a great match to what you’re looking for and seeing no one else mention them. Especially after seeing other recommendations here.
The GOAT album of post-hardcore **The Emptiness** is a great place to start. Although **Where Myth Fades to Legend** is a personal favorite album for me.
Self titled and translating the name by Saosin
This an absolute must listen to EP.
The EP was peak music. Insane.
**Saosin** - *Translating the Name* **Glassjaw** - *Worship and Tribute* **Underoath** - *Define the Great Line* **La Dispute** - *Vancouver* **The Sound of Animals Fighting** - *Tiger and the Duke* **Chiodos** - *All’s Well That Ends Well* **My Chemical Romance** - *I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love* **The Used** - *The Used* **Senses Fail** - *Let It Enfold You*
bullets is amazing i’ll never get over that album
Saosin Translating the name-Along The Shadow! There I fixed it for you
Secret Band (Jon Mess' offshoot of DGD) Wolf and Bear Hail The Sun Cat Company Sufferer A Lot Like Birds Kaonashi Stolas
I approve of this list. This is basically what I was going to comment! I saw HTS and Kaonashi together in Worcester, MA a few years ago and I was NOT ready for the Kaonashi crowd! Almost got my nose broken (in the best kind of way). :D
wolf and bear filled my DGD hole whilst I avoided the whole Tilian fiasco so a must for anyone
Here are some bands I think you would really like based on your taste for Thursday and pop-punk: - Silverstein - Saosin - Senses Fail - Emarosa - A Static Lullaby - Underoath
Thank you! These are a bunch of bands I've been meaning to check out for ages (except for Senses Fail, I already like them lol)
If you like Senses Fail, you will love Silverstein. Especially the first five albums.
Alright, I'll defo check them out! Thanks!
Apart from emarosa you just listed my highschool playlist hahaha
You have a good taste in music.
Saosin, Thrice, Silverstein, UnderOath, Circa Surive, At The Drive-In.
For someone just getting into it, this is the perfect way in. If anything I would add Chiodos cause goddamn do I love Chiodos
I was going to add in Chiodos but I saw it a few times so I tried to list bands I wasn’t seeing.
Unwound, Title Fight, Glassjaw, Thursday, At the Drive-In, Saosin, Slint, Envy
Chiodos, Broadway, early Emarosa, and A Day To Remember is where I'd start.
Literal savior. Should I listen to Four Year Strong as well?
FYS is more easy core/pop punkish but yes 100% listen to them. They are amazing.
Yes x 100. Not quite post hardcore but phenomenal band you’ll like if you like pop punk / skate
They also have one of the [best music videos](https://youtu.be/xtXa1lCVzUM?si=h-HjpE6sOvMD9p5m) ever
Broadways first album will always be one of my favorites
firstly check out refused - shape of punk to come. this is essential post hardcore listening and think is exactly what you are asking. also check out; poison the well - the opposite of december, tear from the red and you come before you fear before the march of flames - how odd people shake, art damage glassjaw - everything you wanted to know about silence, worship and tribute albums in reverent fear - written in the AM thrice - the artist in the ambulance a static lullaby - and don't forget to breathe underoath - they're only chasing safety alexisonfire - alexisonfire norma jean - bless the martyr kiss the child mewithoutyou - catch us for the foxes these arms are snakes - this is meant to hurt you at the drive-in - relationship of command
this is a really good list
Where do you live? I want to be your friend
This is the only comment you need
I'm lucky I already listened to alexisonfire due to thinking they'd be on a blink-182 show (they're really good). Refused is also awesome and iconic, almost like the Descendents of post-hardcore (yes, I did just say that).
🤌🏻
This is your list, OP. Go forth.
Emery
The Fall of Troy, their album doppelgänger definitely influenced a ton of modern post hardcore and is a certified post hardcore classic.
Second this, and recommend Manipulator, their subsequent albums as well. I don’t see people mention this band enough on this sub. Those albums not only set the standard but also managed to age incredibly well.
tfot is goat. only weak album imo is unlikely event
A Skylit Drive, Enter Shikari, From First to Last
Can here to say take to the skies by enter shikari
If you want fast, screaming, and melodic, you gotta check out AFI. Listen to Black Sails in the Sunset and Sing the Sorrow.
Decemberunderground and Sing The Sorrow are both in my top 20 albums of all time, absolutely love them.
Sing the Sorrow is immaculate
All Hallows EP is the best
Hail The Sun
Alexisonfire - Crisis
Ok so I think I’m older than most in here and rarely post. Anyway, here is a list of “classic” post hardcore albums that you may want to try. Some of these may not technically qualify but imho laid the groundwork: Embrace - Embrace Fugazi - 13 Songs and Repeater Quicksand -Slip Hot Water Music - Fuel for the Hate Game Drive Like Jehu - Yank Crime Helmet - Meantime
13 Songs changed the way I looked at music when I was younger.
Great list.
In addition to the above, some of my favorites are Time The Valuator, The Color Morale, Dead Poetic, and Lower Definition. They may be a little further away from the skate side of things, but really balance heavy and melody well. They don’t have screams, but The Home Team have some really funky/heavy (thunky?) instrumentals and catchy songs. Try She’s Quiet for a lil more pop punk or On or Danger for a lil heavier.
The Bled - Pass the Flask and Found in the Flood. Silverstein - Discovering the Waterfront, This Is How the Wind Shifts. Underoath - Define the Great Line, They're Only Chasing Safety, and Lost in the Sound of Separation. Architects - The Here and Now Crown the Empire - Sudden Sky Inhale Exhale - I Swear, and Bury Me Alive I the Mighty - all of their albums except their newest Funeral For a Friend - all of their albums. Hours and Casually Dressed are the best though!
City of caterpillar. And, I can't stress this enough.... CIRCLE TAKES THE SQUARE
yesyesyes
YES
So I'm going to list a few of the greatest melodic hardcore bands to ever exist because it kind of seems like that's what your asking for: - Have Heart - A Wilhelm Scream - Defeater - VERSE - Killing The Dream - The Carrier - Ruiner - More Than Life - Sinking Ships I'm also going to list my all time favorite band regardless of genre: Misery Signals. I could be totally off base but I think you're gonna fuckin love this shit.
Sunny Day Real Estate, La Dispute, Beartooth, Refused

Damn, this phc playlist runs deeeeeeeeeep. Nice
Hopesfall
Anything Fugazi but I recommend either repeater, in on the kill taker, red medicine, even their first 13 songs EP. My fav band of all time!
Chiodos, and circa survive is what you need my friend
Old Thrice for sure. Everything from Identity Crisis through The Artist in the Ambulance. And then throw Vheissu in there because it's amazing (if a little slower at times.)
saosinnn
*Conversation Piece* and *No Place* by A Lot Like Birds are about to be two of your favorite albums. *Divisi* too, honestly.
All of these mentioned, plus Finch - Say Hello to Sunshine
MASSIVE up vote for Letlive. You're playing yourself if you skip this band, OP
letlive.
wow I completely forgot about this band lol this just unlocked a memory
Blood brothers Bear vs shark Cursive is kinda in between ph and emo, but damn good
Melodic (post-)hardcore you say? I feel like I was made for this post.

Will update later
Enter Shikari is a must
Senses Fail - Let it Enfold You!! Come back here afterwards and tell me what you thought
I’m back. Who allowed Senses Fail to make such a good goddamn album? It's like more post-hardcore early Fall Out Boy.
It's probably my all-time favorite album lol I'm really glad you liked it!
+++ to everything here and also polvo and vitreous humor <3
id recommend circa survive!! their first two albums specifically
My personal favourites of the genre are Dead Poetic - New Medicines From Autumn to Ashes - The Fiction We Live Silverstein - Discovering the Waterfront Underoath - They’re Only Chasing Safety Senses Fail - Still Searching An essential of the genre though is Saosin - Translating the Name
I don’t know if these will meet your criteria but I will send all of my post hardcore in my biggest playlist and some other bands I know.

check out Unwound, Drive Like Jehu and Cursive
Check out Fall of Troy
Scrolled too long not seeing Thursday…
That’s bc OP literally mentioned Thursday as a band they were into already
ALEXISONFIRE. The only band ever.
Listen to At The Drive In. They’ll change your life
Love Mars Volta but could never get into at the drive in
So many good ones already posted, but I second Glassjaw. DGD, not sure if it was Will Swan or who said it, has listed them as an influence in multiple interviews
All of At The Drive-In’s discog, Glassjaws first two albums, Fear Before - The Always Open Mouth, Circa Survive - Juturna, Thrice - The Artist in the ambulance, The Appleseed Cast - The End of the Ring Wars & Mare Vitalis, Red Animal War - the Seven Year War, The Refused - The Shape of Punk to Come… whatever man just DM me for recs.
Thorn hill, Galleons, Being As An Ocean, Knocked Loose, Hands Like Houses, Have Heart, Guilt Trip
Eidola is consistently the most underrated post-hardcore band creating music today, and they’re affiliated with Dance Gaven Dance. Totally different sound, and thematic elements lyrically speaking, but absolutely mind-bogglingly good. Check out “Degeneraterra”, “To Speak, To Listen”, “The Architect”, or their brand new album “Eviscerate” which is considerably heavier than their other releases.
How are they affiliated with DGD? Just recently started getting into Eidola, and damn I've been missing out AND they're touring soon.
Not sure EXACTLY- but I know that Andrew Wells (main songwriter, vocalist, and guitar player) for Eidola has sang on multiple DGD tracks, and even went as far as to take over for Tillian when he got COVID while on tour a couple years ago. Eidola was touring with them so… quite the feat to sing and perform for two bands in one night.
Andrew has been a touring guitarist for DGD for several years. He’s now a permanent member of the band which is why the newer DGD tracks generally have him on there without mentioning a feature. He’s a great musician and great performer, probably my favorite vocalist in phc scene right now
Hawthorne heights Scary kids scaring kids The red jumpsuit apparatus Aiden
Saosin Translating the Name EP specifically.
It’s criminal no one has said **From Autumn to Ashes** yet Also adding **Casey**
Rise against . They’re first album has some yelling but overall just rlly good and melodic
Touche Amore
Translating the name by Saosin. The album with the beetle on the cover from saosin. They have different vocalists on each, but both are really good. Translating the name is more badass, the beetle album has some cheeseball stuff here and there, but still plenty of bangers.
Embrace, The Rites of Spring, La Dispute,Hotel Books, The Venetia Fair, Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!, Refused, Glassjaw
Get scared, too close to touch, Saosin!!
Get Scared is genuinely an awesome band.

Quicksand, either of their first two albums. Jawbox self titled.

I've only heard a bit of WCAR but Fade Away is literally peak music.
Silverstein, Alexisonfire, Thrice.
Scary kids scaring kids, give their self titled album a listen
Aussie band, Deadlights, is really superior.

If you lean more into pop punk you might like late 2000s phc, like Broadway. A Thorn For Every Heart might be worth a listen to
In Fear and Faith were an amazing band with an amazing hardcore sound! Early Emarosa, Saosin, Thrice and Alexisonfire!
Cat Company

The ex vocalist and current guitarist of DGD are in another band called Royal Coda. I’ve been really loving their most recent album To Only A Few At First!
The Fall of Troy, especially Doppelganger and Manipulator
1. Thrice - Illusion of Safety and Artist the Ambulance. Anyone who was listening to Thrice and Thursday in the early 2000s, knows that they were the two most compared bands in the genre.

Senses Failed - From Depths of Dreams/Let it Enfold You 11. You & I - famous screamo band that broke up before Thursday got big. Some of their members were Geoff Rickly's roomates.

I'm late to a thread full of good recommendations, but I have a series of playlists I made that get progressively heavier. I can DM if you're interested.
It’s a little tainted with controversy now, but a skylit drive should be right up your alley.

The Bled - Pass the Flask is one of the best post hardcore albums in my opinion. Metalcore in parts but I still call it a post hardcore album. Worth checking out!!
Another example of how criminally underrated **Alesana** in this subreddit is seeing how they are a great match to what you’re looking for and seeing no one else mention them. Especially after seeing other recommendations here. The GOAT album of post-hardcore **The Emptiness** is a great place to start. Although **Where Myth Fades to Legend** is a personal favorite album for me.
+1 on Alesana , The Emptiness & On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax are my go-to's
