HXC // Screamo Bands, Faves and recommendations. Options

[antix10_kos]

I like Evergreen Terrace, Still Remains, Sinai Beach, and Darkest Hour, but I'm kinda out of the loop here, it's been awhile since I was into hardcore/ HXC music. So I was wondering, what HXC bands are good enough to consider putting on a mix for someone who hasn't heard much of the genre? I'd really like to introduce my cousin to this type of music because she's kinda on the edge of the scene i.e. really into MCR, Hawthorne Heights, and other mainstream bs but shows a lot of potential. I think she'd really like this kind of music if she knew what was out there.

To keep it simple, just list your fave bands of the HXC or screamo genres and one or two songs by each artist. I'd really like it if the responses were kept positive on this thread. If you don't like the genres here, then don't reply. It's pretty simple.

PS- I Searched For A Similar Thread With No Luck.

I'm kinda good with this stuff, but I assume you mean bands that sing and then scream, and the whole metalcore genre, not actual hardcore and screamo bands (because the first reply you got isn't really...the catchy stuff I think you're looking for. I mean it's really good stuff but doesn't exactly sound like the stuff I think you're going for).

Anyway, I know some of these were mentioned already but oh well.
Every Time I Die--Ebolarama, She's My Rushmore

Norma Jean--The Entire World is Counting On Me..., The Shotgun Message

Zao--The Last Revelation, Truly, Truly, This Is The End

Fear Before The March of Flames--too many good songs to name, but take these ones: On The Bright Side, She Could Choke, The State Of Texas Vs. Fear Before, and Should Have Stayed In The Shallows

HORSE the band--can't miss this band, everyone calls them Nintendocore , check out: Sevententacles and Eight Flames, and Bunnies

From Autumn To Ashes--Take Her To The Music Store should hook you, but also check out The After Dinner Payback and Short Stories with Tragic Endings

Lastly, because I know I am running out of bands to name, Haste The Day, check out Substance and Blue 42.

But I do better with the shitty mainstream HH-MCR type of bands, so I have a lot more to recommend in that category.

From First To Last- Ride The Wings of Pestilence. Enough said.
Underoath (the band's new cd) - Young And Aspiring, A Boy Brushed Red, Living In Black And White, I'm Content With Losing
Emery - Walls, they also did a good cover of "Holding Out For a Hero"
The Receiving End of Sirens - Planning a Prison Break, The Rival Cycle, Broadcast Quality
Senses Fail...catchy stuff here, I wish I could name all their songs, but check out Stephen and Free Fall Without a Parachute, and then Tie Her Down, Buried a Lie, and You're Cute When You Scream.
Matchbook Romance - horribly generic band, but I'll list anyway. Promise and Your Stories My Alibis are two good songs.
Emanuel - Just get their new cd. Every song is great.
A Static Lullaby - The Shooting Star That Destroyed Us All, Radio Flyer's Last Journey
Across Five Aprils - sadly I can't think of any of their songs.
Atreyu - The Crimson, Bleeding Mascara, Lipgloss and Black, Tulips are Better
My American Heart - Don't Sleep, This Won't Stop, Maps around Texas.
I assume you've already heard of Thrice and Thursday, but if you haven't, they're a must-listen-to, mainstream wise.

That's because the bands I listed are actual hardcore bands. Not any of that shit you listed. What you listed is post-hardcore, metal--BASICALLY NOT HARDCORE. Mediocre bands trying to get into the hardcore scene, but fail horribly. Don't get me wrong, I listen to some of the bands you listed, but c'mon, half of the shit you listed is P**sy crap. If someone who really listened to REAL hardcore, they'd laugh in your face and think you were stupid to even consider any of those bands "hardcore."

Most of what I listed is real hardcore.
hgahahaahahaah, not only that but you should be shot. lmfao.

seriously kid, you really need some music education.

PS- The reason why I used hxc instead of typing out "christian hardcore"  is because I wasn't sure if if it would fit in the thread title line with the other stuff.  Also, some bands don't label themselves as HXC or Christian, yet sound like it.

STOP RIGHT THERE. "hxc" IS NOT CHRISTIAN HARDCORE.

seriously, do not attempt to even get into the hardcore scene, if you think hxc means christian hardcore. "HXC" is HARDCORE. not christian, not buddha, not any religion or anything else. just straight up HARDCORE.



hahaha this seriously made me and my friends laugh.

I'm really glad you adressed this. About time someone gave me a little challenge.

First off I'd like to say that I never said I was listing ACTUAL HARDCORE, and I don't know how exactly you misconstrued my words to think so. It's obvious the topic creator doesn't want to get into real hardcore...and yeah I know what real hardcore is.

What I listed was not post-hardcore/metal, hell, since you want to get technical, I'll break it down for you:
Every Time I Die, Zao, Norma Jean, Haste The Day, FATA, HORSE the band, Atreyu = Metalcore. Is it the purest and best form of metalcore? No, but it's decent and catchy and good for beginners to start exploring new genres.

Fear Before The March Of Flames = The closest thing I'll ever get to "mainstream screamo" (and yes, I know all about "real emo/screamo")

From First To Last, A Static Lullaby, etc... poppy stuff people always seem to mislabel as "screamo", and the only reason I listed them is because the topic creator said her cousin was into stuff like MCR and stuff...thought I'd just build up from there.

And in closing, I'm glad you know a lot more hardcore than me, but even if I did consider the stuff I listed as hardcore, you're still way out of line for saying that I need to be shot. That's something I'd never say to anyone, especially a new user to these forums. Oh and assumptions make you look like a snobby elitist, please don't try that with me.

I don't want to sound angry or offended (even though I slightly am), in truth I feel marvelous
