Any bands that sound similar to Bane/Comeback Kid?
 

Not punkish as in "i hate my government blah blah blah oi oi oi" bull****. Like faster almost hardcore. haha.

Those bands are hardcore, positive melodic hardcore, but hardcore none the less. and check out Champion and you might like Go It Alone too.

7 Seconds, The Descendents, NOFX, Agnostic Front?

I really don't know wtf you mean by blah blah blah I hate my government.....
So there you go bitch.

Maybe check out Rise Against and Anti-Flag too?

No wait, that's the blah blah stuff nvm.

I think he means that he wants more melodic hardcore, not punk. And yeah, he might be into some older hardcore like 7 Seconds and Agnostic Front.

Ah yes melodic hardcore, thats what I was thinking of. Agnostic Front is pretty good too

melodic hardcore (not emo though) =
Malignus Youth - More To It

FINALLY I heard some of this Malignus Youth you talk about.
Very nice!
I LOVE it, lol.

theres a couple more on page 5 in the song thread

Yeah I downloaded them now.

cool another forum for me. Melodic hardcore is a subgenre of Punk, and many of those bands are political. Bane is better than comeback kid, but they both kick ass. Rise Against Owns them all though. they're political, but its intelligent and about a 3rd of their songs aren't political anyway. you should also like Death Threat. they're pretty good.
