Early Post-Hardcore
 

Yes, early post-hardcore, not the screamy, growly new stuff (Alexisonfire, Silverstein, which is good stuff too by the way).

I decided to give a few bands a whirl and found myself enjoying the music of Fugazi and At The Drive In.

Can anyone provide some not-live youtube videos of other early-post hardcore stuff similar to ATDI and Fugazi.

I got into this stuff because I'm into punk/emo/hardcore/indie music.

Post-Hardcore has three big elements I look for in punk music. Catchiness, Energy, and Freedom (which it excels in). It's really unique stuff.

Discuss and reccomend.

check out some of the live videos of Drive Like Jehu on youtube.

I know you asked for nonlive vids but seriously, listen to "Caress" and "If It Kills You"...so much unbelievable concentrated energy and talent. I would recommend checkin' out both of Jehu's albums as well.

also try Nation of Ulysses, Jawbox, Moss Icon, Clikitat Ikatowi and early Unwound.

Thanks. I'll give those guys a listen to.

i'd consider Drive Like Jehu noiserock, but they're good nonetheless

Yeah....you could call them noise rock, or even math rock if you must. There's definitely a distict hardcore influence though, and they definitely qualify as a "post hardcore" band.

None of that matters though, they just rule. Hot Snakes too.

Look into 80s emo:
Rites of Spring
One Last Wish
The Hated
After Words

Um....


Quicksand
Shudder To Think
Hot Water Music


I think "Sirens" the album by On The Might Of Princes is a post-hardcore release too. It isnt early post-hardcore, but it's worth a listen.

I rather enjoy Million Dead

I gave Hot Water Music a listen to. They're pretty sweet.

lol wut?



As for Post-Hardcore bands, I suggest Party Of Helicopters, Braid and Mineral.
Braid and Mineral might be considered "emo" but whatever, I don't care.

There are others that I can't think of now. If anything comes up, I'll be sure to chime in.

Listen to Hoover. I think you would like Small Brown Bike / The Casket Lottery / Able Baker Fox.

Even better. I like emo music as well.

Good call.

early Thursday stuffs are cool.

do Gray Matter, Soulside and Fire Party fit in?

I'd think Gray Matter and Fire Party fit into the same category as Rites of Spring and the rest of D.C. in the mid 80s. But whatev, Gray Matter is a very good band. I'm a sucker for their Beatles cover.

I love Gray Matter so much more than RoS. I have no idea why people go ape**** for RoS, and they overlook Gray Matter. Gray Matter's "Take It Back" EP is a perfect blueprint for screamo and emo for years to come. Thick, pronounced basslines, strained, almost screaming vocals at times. Plus, RoS never wrote a song half as good as "Head." That song in itself contains so many aspects of hardcore that are still prevalent in screamo its hard to believe that they were a Revolution Summer band. This band was miles above the other mid 80's DC bands.

Boys Night Out.

Not post-hardcore.

shut up man, i love them:[
not so much on their new pop punk album though.. no, not at all.

How much did this band actually release?

2 LPs and 3 7"s if I'm not mistaken.
