I'm looking to update my rotating post-hardcore Spotify playlist and would love to hear suggestions for up-and-coming post-hardcore bands! If you know of any hidden gems that are breaking through, or if there are any old bangers I might have missed, drop them in the comments.

Also, if you're into discovering new music, it would mean a lot if you saved the playlist!

Thanks for your support.

I did a deep dive on the major bands and I think for every other band makes sense how we went from 1988-1992 post hardcore to 1993-1997 post hardcore. But this can be my bias so I want to a get second opinion

I found a song on MySpace (I believe) that was titled either "September" or "Red September" way back in the day. This would have been late 2006 or early 2007 (I remember listening to it while it was cold outside walking somewhere in the morning.)

Production wise, it seemed like pretty solid production quality at the time, but it could have just been a well-made demo. Musically, it reminded a bit of TRJA or maybe Armor for Sleep, but with a bit more melancholy tone. There are two parts of the song I remember well, including lyrics.

The first is sort of a stabby pre-chorus (for musicians out there, the entire band, including vocals are locked in playing staccato downbeats, then three eight notes that end with an anticipation on the and of four) and there are some distorted vocals that are something along the lines of "my heart, my heart is beating for you." Then there's a bridge with a buildup toward the end where the vocalist says "then came September / we began it all"

Literally all I can remember about it. I have a vague memory that I might have found it through a like, anime fight video one of my weeb friends showed me, but I wasn't into anime so I couldn't tell you what it was, if that would even help. If anyone has any ideas about what this might be, let me know.

I’m an older fan and never really liked to associate with other mcr fans because of how they act and behave, anyway recently I joined the mcr sub and ohh my god, they’re still the same and the worst part is it’s newer younger fans seeing the cringey older ones and thinking “oh, this is how to act” like someone insufferable og fans set the tone wayy back when and now it’s just repeating and repeating. Like fck me the majority of the fans really stopped mcr from being taken seriously and looked at as a real solid band. And honestly I get the vibe that Frank (from the band) shares this opinion with me at least somewhat

I really love this type of PostHardcore and interested in finding smth new for myself. would be grateful for any recommendations.

I'm looking to get more into post-hardcore and I'm not sure where to start, only that I want stuff that, melodic or not, sticks fairly close to the genre's punk roots at least in terms of aesthetic/production sensibilities. Noise rock-adjacent is a plus.
