Still the band's ability to deliver both post-hardcore edge and power pop hooks—not to mention '80s-inspired guitar solos—keep [the album] worth rocking.

Canadian metalcore band Abandon All Ships combine elements of electronic music and post-hardcore and technical metal into a strangely triumphant hybrid.

The Trail of Dead has been known as something of a sprawling band ever since the band's first release in 1998. They've always been able to incorporate elements of noise rock and art rock into a post-hardcore foundation that allows for them to wander sonically not only from song to song but within each song itself and never losing the listener's interest in the song.

this'll be the third album from this bunch of Canadian emo types [...] if you will play the emo-band by numbers game and remove all the spaces from between the words in your name then you deserve everything you get [...] There's the familiar clash of the dual vocals, part screamo, and part pop melody chanting in evidence, as well as an endless squall of pepped up guitars, which feature heavily in these days of post hardcore and emo.

My Chemical Romance, Thrice and Alexisonfire may be considered post-hardcore by some, but, well, they suck. In this guide, I chose to focus on the most innovative and consistently good bands under the post-hardcore umbrella. Going in a sort of zig-zagging chronological order, here are the true essentials.

The Bled are relatively unconcerned with melody, edging more toward the metal side of post-hardcore than the alternative/emo side. There are brief bursts of prettiness, as well as guitar breaks/solos that sound like malfunctioning video game consoles on songs like "Smoke Breaks" and "Need New Conspirators," while "Crowbait" and "When Exiting Your Vehicle" feature momentarily diverting production tricks, and a clean chorus or two crops up here and there.

2006's Define the Great Line proved to be a turning point for faith-based, post-hardcore/screamo outfit Underoath. While the tendency to dissolve into the abyss of angtsy emo-pop was still there, there was a darkness lurking in the nooks and crannies between the crackling snare hits and heavy "drop-d" riffing that hinted at a little pre-evolution, a notion that comes to fruition with their sixth studio record and fourth for Solid State (the metal subdivision of Tooth & Nail Records).
