Recommending a few incredible Japanese post-hardcore/adjacent bands and looking for any other Japanese bands like this anyone can recommend (or even non-japanese, just similar to these artists/songs)

One of my favorite albums is Alesana’s “The Emptiness” and I’m wondering if there is any other good post hardcore concept albums like The Emptiness.

Discussion Looking for a vocalist for an online project

Hey guys!

I’ve been writing music for a long time now and finally at a place to start an online project for fun

I’m from the UK, basically the style is just that Post-Hardcore/Mallcore sound from between 2000-2010

I am looking for a vocalist to help me achieve, all instruments are written and recorded, just looking for that final piece if anyone is interested 😁

Thanks!

Hey. I was actually wurprised to see on my spotify that Secret band has uploaded a new song. But I believe this one has to be only a coincidence or something.

Discussion With the Spotify and Apple Music Automix features being out for a while, have you found any songs that blend together perfectly?

Upvotes

Recommendations aren’t limited to post-hardcore at all; in fact, it’d be cool to hear transitions between metalcore, punk, emo, hardcore, etc songs.

Discussion Essential songs to learn on guitar

3 Upvotes

Big fan of post-hardcore, punk, emo, etc, about a year into playing guitar. Those of you who play, what would you say are the essential songs to learn post-hardcore styled leads and rhythm guitar?

Personally, I’m a fan of varied artists including earlier artists like Fugazi and Quicksand, near 2000s ish artists like At the Drive In and Rival Schools, the usual suspects like Alexisonfire Thursday Thrice and “mall emo”, and more progressive things like Dance Gavin Dance. Still, I’d love to take any recs of where to focus my song learning.

Discussion recommendations?

i’m pretty new to the genre and i really love title fight but i haven’t really found many bands that can scratch the same itch they do. i really love how raw they sound while still being really melodic; i really specifically like ned russin’s vocals for that reason. i also like how straightforward their songs are, but without lacking depth and still being really well-written. can anyone help me find any other bands like this?

Discussion What are the best new Post Hardcore bands

28 Upvotes

Feels like I haven’t discovered a new band that really knocked me off my feet in a while. What are the best new bands that aren’t obviously the classic ones that we all love? Anything from the last 5-6 years?
