Post-hardcore is a punk rock music genre that maintains the aggression and intensity of hardcore punk but emphasizes a greater degree of creative expression. Like the term "post-punk", the term "post-hardcore" has been applied to a broad constellation of groups.
- Bring Me The Horizon – Sempiternal. This album was leaked in early 2013 and all of a sudden my entire idea of music had been flipped upside down. Sempiternal is a real game changer for the post-hardcore world because it is the first substantial instance of an unclean vocalist taking the time to learn how to also do clean, melodic vocals.
- Alesana – The Emptiness. The Emptiness is the album that basically made Alesana important. The sextet group which incorporates the almost disturbingly female-like, high-pitched vocals of Shawn Milke finally found a way to add a little more edge to their repertoire.
- A Day To Remember – Homesick. ADTR has yet to make a bad record, but Homesick stands far above anything else they have ever released. It has hit tracks that range from the angry-super heavy “I’m Made of Wax Larry, What Are You Made Of?”
- Asking Alexandria – Stand Up and Scream. This was Asking Alexandria’s break-out debut album, and frankly, as great as their other records have been, they will never be able to top this album, hence the huge egos of vocalist Danny Worsnop and guitarist Ben Bruce.
Post-hardcore is a punk rock music genre that maintains the aggression and intensity of hardcore punk but emphasizes a greater degree of creative expression initially inspired by post-punk and noise rock.
- Glassjaw – Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence (2000) Having gone through a difficult break-up, lovesick frontman Daryl Palumbo pulls no punches here with some highly questionable lyrics about how horrible he thinks girls are performed with unquestionable sincerity.
- Touché Amoré – Stage Four (2016) We’d be remiss if we didn’t include one of the newer kids on the block, because there’s still plenty of life left in post-hardcore if you know where to look.
- Rites Of Spring – Rites Of Spring (1985) The grandaddy of them all, Rites Of Spring arguably kicked off the entire movement with their sole album. With the hardcore scene in their hometown of Washington DC flourishing but becoming increasingly thuggish, they stepped away and changed things up, keeping the breakneck punk pace but displaying their own vulnerability and fears in the lyrics and whipping in something the genre was sorely missing: proper tunes.
- Shudder To Think – Get Your Goat (1992) Another band from the Dischord stable, and an influence on everyone from Deftones to Omaha indie rock supremos Cursive.
Feb 10, 2020 · Post-hardcore broke out as a movement in a huge way during the first decade of the 2000s while shaping how people view the genre today. Countless others had pioneered the genre throughout the ’80s...
- Fugazi – Waiting Room (1988) You could make a case for Hüsker Dü, Naked Raygun or Minutemen being the first post-hardcore bands, expanding what could be done within the scene’s somewhat limiting initial remit, but the first real sonic domino to fall was probably Fugazi.
- Jawbox – Savoury (1994) Jawbox should have been huge. In a better world they would have been, but fate determined otherwise, instead shuffling them off to the margins of rock history, notable for their influence on bands like Deftones who’d later take some of their sensitivity and muscular heft to create something new, fresh and absolutely vital.
- Hum – Stars (1995) Despite influencing everyone from Weezer to the latest nu-gaze wannabes treading the boards, Illinois quartet Hum are another band who feel like they’ve never truly gotten the recognition they deserve.
- Quicksand – Thorn In My Side (1995) It’s a toss-up between this or Fazer from the NYC quartet’s debut album Slip, released two years previous, but Thorn In My Side saw Quicksand attract the attention of MTV, and the genre as a whole was suddenly being looked upon with curious interest from people with dollar signs in their eyes.
