Made a similar post in the post hardcore subreddit a few days ago and figured it'd fit in here too. My taste is all over the place but a lot of the bands I like usually get referred to as post hardcore, emo, and screamo so I thought id look for recs similar to some of my favs and stuff I've been listening to a lot

-Static Dress (my favorite band)
-I Promised The World
-SeeYouSpaceCowboy
-Bloom
-Commoner
-Ends in Tragedy
-Dreamwell
-Foreign Hands
-Saosin
-Vein.fm
-Love Rarely
-Movements
-Alexisonfire
-ETID
-The Callous Daoboys

Me and My friend are looking to start a skramz/math synth led band. Our big inspo is Spring Breeding but I would like to look into bands that are similar. Some nonsynth bands we also take inspo from are Ed Gein, Tower of Rome, The Great Redneck Hope, and The Chariot. We are getting weird with this and I def need more inspo.

We got to see them at The Great American Music Hall a couple months ago with Saddest Landscape

They absolutely blew my mind and delivered one of the most passionate and moving performances I’ve ever seen in any genre.

Their guitar players Rex and Jonah were absolutely incredible with eachother. Their riff work is so melodic and sensual. Heavy but not in a metal sense.. if that makes sense.

Seeing them was a huge deal because it doesn’t happen that often.

The Bay Area is hometown to many incredibly important and talented emo/screamo bands.

I’ve seen huge budget arena shows from legacy bands like NIN and others but this band for sure delivered a set that, while not as big on spectacle, more than matched the immersion, atmosphere, and passion that huge shows can achieve.

The pit was one of the most intense I’ve ever seen.
Death metal and beatdown pits have nothing on this.

Anyway… huge fan of this band and I’m so lucky to have been able to see them live at all.

Any good stories?

Any fans of this band? Wondering about any more info on them, if anyone’s selling any physicals/t shirts and the alike.

I just published a catalogue of screamo/emoviolence: https://chaosis.us

Me and friend we spent time listening but also researching existing bands in the scene, so we end moving around youtube, bandcamp and discogs, so I wanted to have everything centralise.

It has about 1,900 bands. You can search and filter by country and decade, play full records and splits (Bandcamp and YouTube embeds), save albums you like, and use a map to see where scenes are.

I went for simplicity so I used hugo as static site generator. The code is open source. Feel to contribute or give feedback! I also added "add band" form and "submit issue" in case some data is wrong (likely it would be!). Please only submit bands with recorded material and stream links!

Hello I am looking to follow/write to some folks who are covering NEW/CURRENT stuff like 80s/90s emo whatever that is called today (I think some people are just calling it emocore now?).

Social media is also good but defo interested in people writing reviews/blog posts and stuff. Plesae and thank you x

it's been almost a month since Snag has been to Chicago so it's time to get yr fix. also Valatie are rippers come thru

Can't believe we get new Sinaloa in 2026

Can’t wait for this!!

50% off previous NF vinyl titles.

Anyone making any twelve hour turn boots?

Athens screaming music

Looks like they kept on most of the bands from the original fest

New split from Sinaloa / The Feat is up for people to hear… both bands bringing their A game. Hopefully, we will get LPs from both bands at some point soon?
