Pelican
?
well
pelican is more heavy metal plus they do not have vocals...
^
yeah they do
actually
no they dont. haha. sorry. i was thinking of a random song that wasnt pelican at all
i'm loving the amount of request for this sort of stuff recently!
Try...
Pg.99
Orchid
Portrait
Saetia
Joshua Fit For Battle
The Fall Of Troy
The Bled
I know some of them
and it seems they are more on the hardcore side... But still I can give a try to the others
borrrrring
yet you suggested Funeral Diner who sound veeeery similar to things on my list
Are they?
Don't get me wrong, i dig Portrait and Orchid (gatefold, the rest is just bad Palatka covers), but i've never had time Pg.99, and i grew out of Saetia when i was about 14. Either way, none of those bands are post rockish hardcore, are they?
Anyway, i'm more fed up of people going on about Pg.99, Orchid and Saetia in general. This is by no way a dig at you, but just everybody. You know you're fucked when you go onto some 15 year old girls myspace, which you can't actually see properly because it's 'pimped' to fuck, and there's some Orchid/Saetia track blaring out.
so it was ok for you listen to Saetia when you were 14
But that MySpace girl, when she's 15, she wouldn't know shit about hardcore, no way. The genre might be fucked but i'd rather hear any band in this thread than, say, Atreyu. You dig?
P.S. Listen to 'By the Fireplace In White' by Pg.99 dude. Seriously, you're missing out.
I dig, yeah
But you take that 15 year old girl right, her lastFM will have 546973453 plays by Saetia. I mean, seriously, wtf? I'd bet my bank balance she leaves her itunes on through the night. And then you get the same people paying £100 for a coloured 7" on ebay and furiously trying to find ORCHID shirts so they can wear them when they go to Starbucks every Saturday to get their skinny latte. Then you want to kill yourself, because everything that these bands used to stand for has gone out the fucking window.
*blows up*
Stuff like that is indeed awful.
And what's worse is that now, should someone recommend such bands in a heartfelt way, or even listen to them because they genuinely think they were awesome- it gets a negative reaction.
Don't blow up though, lets be friends.
Yeah, i know, it's a bit of a shame
And i always feel like a snob when i say "well...infact...". But there you you.
Friends <3
well
isis would definately come to mind, though its slightly heavier, and more post rocky in the classic 'post rock' sense..
see if you can get 'oceanic' by isis. theres a track on it called 'weight' which is an incredible tune, so beautiful and has some great female vocals towards the end.then if you like that get 'panoptican' too, which is arguably their best.
i also love cult of luna, alonng the same lines but with more depth in some ways.. get 'somewhere along the highway' it's one of my favourite albums by anyone.
also other good artists that come to mind would be Red Sparrowes (though they are less hardcore, as it were, and also pelican, who are great generally...
circa survive
a history of loose ends by botch
Do you mean 'An Anthology Of Dead Ends' by Botch?
Whatever. Don't get that, just get 'We Are The Romans'
fuck my brain is scrambled
yeah that's the one.
I said that cause it's kind of drawn out and less spastic than their other stuff.
Jeez
An Anthology of Dead Ends!
isis
cult of luna
sika redem (IMMENSE BAND)
YES to sika redem
the best one has already been said in your first post: envy
im sorry
but circa survive and fall of troy do not come under this bracket
though what you requested
is quite ambiguous.
what about this will destroy you
This Will Destroy You
are def post-rock. So what I was searching are bands that build tension with long and bit complicated song structures and partially releasing it with screams in the climaxes. Even though I'm not so keen on long shouts, but still enjoying them a bit
circa survive take lots of elements of post rock
they're not post rock hardcore per se, but they definitely sound a bit more post rocky than most.
most of the bands mentioned are metal acts: isis and pelican
i would never
describe either as metal, though i guess peoples ideas of style contexts vary so i wont argue. i would say experimental rock, slo core or something. dunno.
the bracket of post-rockish hardcore?
TFOT do.
hmmm
..
have you heard of the Breach? somne of the tunes on their album 'kollapse' might fit the bill.
..
a day in black and white? (just looking through stuff)
A day in black and white
sounds interesting. Not so hardcore but I reckon there's some subtle post-rock element in their music
yes
very very good band
seconded
I always think of them as pretty close to CoC
That's what
I thought of too when I read the main post of this thread.
Sika Redem
Are pretty interesting. Not exactly like COC and CTTS but intriguing. Good call!
no problems
theres a discover piece on them. READ IT!
my first thoughts were Envy and CofC
when I read the title. Such a potentially great vein of music, though you sometimes end up with bands that do both things badly.
I think most good ones have been mentioned but how about Neil Perry.
Neil Perry
not my cup of tea...
the plot to blow up the eiffel tower
.
Moving Mountains
Great unsigned band :)
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes#!
More on the post rock meets the Appleseed Cast...but there's a few heart wrenching moments in there.
I'm completely obsessed with Pneuma, apparently there might be a new EP on the way. Now all they need is someone to distribute on this side of the sea.
sounds good
Mare Vitalis makes my all time top 10.
Then you really need to get on this
www.myspace.com/movingmountainsmusic
ok
so they obviously quite like mare vitalis.
I like it.
Yea, I stumbled on this album by accident
yea the is a new EP comming, cant wait!
Red Stars Parade?
Score One For Safety
Eden Maine, though that's more post-rock/metal style type thing.
Crydebris were amazing.
Hopesfall, specifically their album The Satellite Years.
Jairus' first album The Need To Change The Mapmaker is another favourite of mine.
Converge have some great longer songs.
I love when Circle Takes the Square and City of Caterpillar are mentioned.
aereogramme?
anyone?
please
prefer their quiter stuff though.
good call above on eden maine
Night and The City of Broken Promises
and maybe cave in
could fit into the bracket
I've just been browsing through some tracks and bits and pieces I've got
what about Yaphet Kotto?
I also remember really liking that Italian screamo mob from the italian music thread, called La Quiete. Maybe not so post rocky though.
Neither of them, really
Great bands though.
La Quiete played my house a few years ago and the floor nearly caved in.
Yeah, this thread has just made me dig up loads of hardcore I'd barely listened to
Yaphet are intense.
Do you like The Mock Heroic?
http://www.superfirecords.co.uk/mp3/Mock_Heroic_-_Despair_Epidemic.mp3
Aye, Mock Heroic are top
<3
the latest
Funeral Diner lp is 'bare prog'. It sounds a lot like Envy.
.
Sika Redem, as mentioned are awesome.
Breach as well.
Maybe try *shels, probably more on the post rock side of things but still fit into your description.
dunno if they come under this
Wow! Owls.
sorry that should have been
Wow. Owls!
or even
Wow, Owls!
You got there eventually!
But they're not even close to being 'post rockish hardcore'....!
They fucking rock and roll man.
YEAR OF NO LIGHT
YEAR OF NO LIGHT
best band at Dour last year, after Wu Tang
myspace.com/yearofnolight
You could maybe try some
Funeral Diner. They're discography is a bit patchy though, so be careful. The latest 10", doors open wouldn't be a terrible place to start. It's pretty epic.
Also, Catena Collapse's latest 12" is really awesome. They're too diy to have a myspace though.
Maybe give Kidcrash a go, they're brill. Make sure you keep to Jokes and everything after, as they were totally different before. Their split with Coffin Dancer is tight.
Also, you might enjoy a few bands from France like;
Aussitôt Mort
http://www.myspace.com/aussitotmort
Daitro
http://www.myspace.com/jemeconsumme (no official myspace, and not the track i had in mind, but hey)
Just incase you can't be arsed;
Kidcrash - www.myspace.com/thekidcrash
There's are Catena Collapse and Mock Heroic songs on this myspace
www.myspace.com/leedsdiyshows
Some good shows in that basement.
RIP
Why did you stop?
Some pretty good shows going on there.
Conor moved house!
Now none of us have a basement.
We all still put shows on, but less frequently.
I am doing Copy Haho/Shittalker/Arms At Last in March. it's going to be SIQ.
.
I hope you and shittalker make it up north soon.
*shels are good
not hardcore heavy but it has vocals if thats what your looking for
Russian Circles
are good.
The Saddest Landscape
www.myspace.com/tslmusicwoah
www.myspace.com/boom1222334343
(Two profiles by randoms).
www.last.fm/music/The+Saddest+Landscape
Aereogramme
are good!
Does slint count?
If not then mogwai have got the post rock covered but not really the hardcore.
I'd say no too both
...
me too
Cheers to all of you..
plenty of stuff. I might throw in this discussion one australian band which is pretty obscure but worth mentioning:
Sea Scouts - "Beacon of Hope"
They're tasmanian and sadly disbanded after this record. But the album is almost perfect.
I forgot Mesa Verde from Glasgow
http://www.myspace.com/mesaverde
Should be up your street, i think.
Sinking Ships
on the more hardcore side possibly.
Taint - The Ruin of Nova Roma
Definite elements of Slint and Black Flag in there.
Envy.
Dead Sinking Story etc...
Did you read the guy's first post...?
