Give me some bands that are like Escape the fate or FFTL. Most my friends listen to ---- like this, and I want to download some stuff.
Check out At the Drive-In's Relationship in Command. You won't regret it. That and Basto's Diablo Guapo, oh and definitely Drive Like Jehu. And I'll take a shot in the dark and say check out Husker Du's New Day Rising. Oh, and definitely check out this stuff: Gospel's The Moon Is A Dead World Orchid's Chaos Is Me Envy's All The Footprints You've Ever Left And The Fear Expecting Ahead Pageninetynine's Document #8 And Swing Kids and Jerome's Dream.
Bands similar to Escape The Fate & FFTL : Chiodos (Good) Alesana (Good) Blessthefall (Horrible) Drop Dead, Gorgeous (Decent) Aiden (Absolutely horrendous) The Used (Not too bad) Silverstein (Decent) I'd give you better bands, but you're looking for typical bands. And you shouldn't listen to this if you don't like it, just because you're friends do doesn't mean you should force your way in.
These are bad recommendations. Don't get me wrong, I love most bands you listed here. (Pg.99, At the Drive-In, Envy) But these aren't for him. He's looking for more generic post-hardcore bands.
Hey, don't insult the man. Can't hurt to give it a shot, man. You never know what would happen. Pop in Relationship in Command and his whole musical view point on the crap like Escape the Fate and FFTL could change. Can't hurt a guy for trying, right? Heh. It was better than me saying "Give up. Now."
You can give better bands if you like. The two I said were just ones that popped into my head when I came to make the post. And its not that its getting forced, I just hear it all the time and I am starting to like some of it.
K. Here's some good ones. Thrice (My Favorite Band) Rise Against Senses Fail Circa Survive Saosin Dead Poetic Emery Funeral for a Friend The Receiving End of Sirens Thursday
There's more, if you do like those then it's a good start, then you can start getting into more abstract acts.
Really? I wouldn't know anyways. Besides, he asked for those types of bands. And most of them are good, if not great.
I'll organize my list to a more straight forward, easy to read standpoint and add a few new ones: At the Drive-In - Relationship in Command Bastro - Diablo Guapo Drive Like Jehu - Self-Titled Drive Like Jehu - Yank Crime Husker Du - New Day Rising Gospel - The Moon is a Dead World Envy - All the Footprints You've Ever Left and the Fear Expecting Ahead Pageninetynine (or Pg.99) - Document #8 Jeromes Dream - Completed Swing Kids - Discography City of Caterpillar - City of Caterpillar Cap'n Jazz - Analphabetapolothology Should keep you occupied. =)
bluefalcon, i highly doubt he will like Swing Kids. I'll go through my last fm n pick out random post-hardcore bands. a day to remember emarosa a skylit drive four years strong circa survive alesana dance gavin dance rise against akissforjersey flood of red we are the ocean catherine in fear and faith
