last half fits more into Powerviolence.

Dashboard Confessional is not real emo. It is pop music hiding behind the label emo.

Powerviolence is intense, raw form of Hardcore Punk.
It is a sub-genre of Hardcore Punk.

yeah, owes as much to Grindcore as it does Hardcore.

I like Fugazi, Drive Like Jehu,Circa Surive, and Saosin (w/Anthony Green). Any recommendations?

Just start by getting the "20 Years of Dischord" box set.. can download it easy.. 3 discs of Dischord bands.. juding by those bands you will like that label.

man if you think Minus The Bear belongs in any kind of genre with hardcore involved in it...........you are quite mistaken

August Burns Red

August Burns Red
Protest The hero

Now, I don't really know any of the bands you listed, however, I am a fan of Minus The Bear, and I can tell you, they are most definitely not post-hardcore.
I don't like to nitpick with genres, like some users do, but they have a completely different sound, they're more experimental indie/math rock.

Rites of Spring is very similar to Fugazi, but they have an older Emo-tive vibe. At The Drive-In is also considered emo but I'd tag them more as post-hardcore. Hold Your Horse Is is another post-hardcore band and if you like them I'd reccomend Pulled Apart by Horses. Unwound is kind of similar to Drive Like Jehu too. I'd recommend more but I'm not very experinced in this genre yet. Hope I helped.

I love a ton of the bands in here, and there are a lot of them listed that I haven't listened to yet. Some of my favorites are Saetia, La Dispute, Moving Mountains (surprised they weren't mentioned more), Raein, and my absolute favorite BY FAR is Daitro.

So... Who can direct me toward some emo/screamo bands that are a lot like Daitro? I know they can't be THAT unique. So good though!

Keep up the good thread!

Hey guys, if I was to get one Joan of Arc album where they were at their most emo and least artsy, which one would it be?

I don't know about least artsy, but Joan of Arc, Dick Cheney, Mark Twain is the best, in my opinion.

So what are some really good emo bands? I'm trying to find some because I feel like I'm wearing mine out XD

Any screamo bands that incorporate shoegaze?

When you say emo I'm going to assume, for now, that you mean stuff like Sunny Day Real Estate and Mineral as opposed to the name being used for "screamo" also. On the second option, I'll get to that in a second.

Mineral

American Football

Penfold

Jejune (Haven't heard much of them)

Now, if you don't mind stuff with screaming, I've got a lot more for you. Here you go. Some are pretty well-known for the genre so don't get at me if I'm coming off as a messenger of the obvious.

Saetia

City of Caterpillar

Raein (They're Italian! You can get their newest album for free on their website)

You and I (singing and screaming!)

Four Hundred Years

Funeral Diner

Yaphet Kotto (a good mixture of singing and unclean vocals)

Orchid's pretty good, but they came off as being nihilistic jerks to me. As TV Tropes says, your mileage may vary.

Some really good modern post-hardcore bands that are similar to the ones previously mentioned are La Dispute, Touche Amore and Pianos Become the Teeth.

Have fun listening!

few cool uk bands:
lay it on the line
bastions
last witness
almeida

all of them are well worth checking out, all have free stuff on bandcamp

I would recommend anyone to listen to At The Drive-In. Relationship Of Command is by far one of the best albums of this era.

^Definitely, they're a great band.

We've all heard it son.
You'll probably like their EP 'Vaya' too, it's much the same style.

You should also check out Glassjaw's 'Worship & Tribute'

I think that Acrobatic Tenement and especially In Casino/Out need more attention. 'Hourglass' is one of their best.

Yeah, but Worship & Tribute is closest to the style of Relationship of Command, ya dig?
I didn't hear Glassjaw's album from last year, did you?
If so, it worth a spin?

^I was talking about the other two LP's that At the Drive-In released. I haven't heard much Glassjaw, to be honest.

D'oh, what a foolish mistake I have made.
You are right and wrong. I like your first bit, but I also like Glassjaw, this is good.

Are we confused or something? I think I might have made a mistake when typing or something like that. I was just saying that AtDI's other two albums deserve more attention though Relationship of the Command is fantastic. I don't have anything against Glassjaw at all, I just haven't heard too much of their music. I'll check them out soon.

I thought the reason Acrobatic Tenement and In Casino/Out didn't get much attention is because they're not actually that good.

If that were the case then most of the bands discussed in the 'Hardcore and Emo' forum would be absolute crap, most likely.

How did you work that out?

I think he means that a lot of bands take influence from those albums.

Your statement came off as

"Not good=not much attention."

A lot of the bands discussed in this forum aren't very well known, but they aren't terrible, in the opinions of some, at least. But that's probably not exactly what you meant, so screw it.

You may like Inept hero, Particularly their song Shablagoo, it has some heavy parts. Check it out on youtube, "inept hero shablagoo"

In/Casino/Out is nearly on par with Relationship Of Command, though I can see how minimal experience with that album would lead you to this conclusion.

That said, Acrobatic Tenement doesn't do much for me.

Any recommendations for classic thrash albums? I'm interested in the kind of albums that set the pace for the rest of the genre.

Think you're asking in the wrong place.
Take your query to the metal heads. I have absolutely no idea about thrash metal, sorry.

Yeah I was a bit confused about where the right place was. I figured hardcore recommendations was as good a place as any or am I getting my terminology confused?

Sunny Day Real Estate
Fugazi
Thrice
Brand New
early Jimmy Eat World (i.e. first two albums)

I'd say thrash would fall into metal.
Not a genre Nazi by any means, but the two are pretty dissimilar (hardcore and thrash)
I could recommend you some hardcore I guess, but most of it'd be modern and I assume that's not what you're after?

Hey I'm up for anything. I'd welcome any recs to expand my horizons.

I'd say the metal recommendations thread would be the place to ask about thrash, but that said, and assuming you're already familiar with Metallica's classic thrash albums, here's a few thrash albums I highly recommend:

Slayer—Reign in Blood (if you haven't already heard it for some reason)
Sodom—Agent Orange
Death Angel—The Ultra-Violence
Kreator—Pleasure to Kill
Morbid Saint—Spectrum of Death
