Well, metalcore and post-hardcore are really not the same thing at all but here goes:

Metalcore - Converge, Cave-In, Unearth, Norma Jean, Earth Crisis, Shai Hulud, Chimaira, Underoath, Integrity, Rorschach

Post-hardcore - Fugazi, Embrace, Rites of Spring, Nation of Ulysses, Drive Like Jehu, Unsane, Hot Water Music, Cap'n Jazz, At the Drive-In, Bear Vs. Shark, Snowing, Sunny Day Real Estate, Brand New, Glassjaw, Unwound

All of those are good examples. Minus Attack Attack. They're not post-hardcore. They're metalcore.

You are right, they're not the same thing. I shouldn't have put a slash; more like a comma, or the word "and" would have been more appropriate.

Of all those bands you listed, I only know Underoath. I'm definitely going to check out all the other bands posted, thanks.

Oddly, I thought I had Death Metal friends on YouTube. If I do, they are difficult to find now. Elder Groth is a visual artist not a musician. So here is an article related to all things metal. I like Emperor probably the best.

I personally really like a band called "I Am Ghost"
they make somewhat eerie post-hardcore music.

Armor For Sleep is also pretty good, since they set a somewhat silent-mood.

I always thought - and I'm not the only one - the "post-hardcore" label was to be sued for bands like Neurosis, Isis, Cult Of Luna... Well, seems like definitions vary from continent to contient.

I've heard of "I am Ghost," but I'm not too familiar with their music. I'll check out both bands. Thanks!

The bands I have highlighted aren't post-hardcore at all.

What genres are they?

Attack Attack! - diarrhea in musical form
The Used - pop punk/alternative rock
Hawthorne Heights - shitty emo
AFI - pop punk/melodic hardcore
My Chemical Romance - pop punk/alt rock

The best post-hardcore bands not already mentioned...

Protest the Hero
Big Black
Jawbox
Gang of Four
Scratch Acid
Minutemen
the Meat Puppets
Husker Du
Nomeansno
Glassjaw
Poison the Well

As much as people like to hate on them, and as much as I hate to admit that I like them, whatever, I like Asking Alexandria (they're insanely good live) and the old Escape the Fate with Ronnie Radke (I like the slightly husky/throaty voice) as lead singer.


Ok, other good hardcore bands...

Trapped Under Ice
Stick To Your Guns
Madball

And just for the heck of it...some good deathcore bands...

The Black Dahlia Murder
The Red Chord
Job for a Cowboy
The Acacia Strain
Winds of Plague

=)

Random fact: Cory LaQuay from A Skylit Drive is tremendously talented when it comes to playing drums.

I don't really like the band as a whole, except for a few songs that somewhat enjoyable, I do need the obligation to give credit where credit is due, and that kid has mad drumming skills. =)

Thanks! Been digging on them again since I've been in the hospital. All I have left to find is their Peel Sessions album and I will then own all their albums.
