i respect your all time fave picks but personally im not a huge fan of the 80s phc sound for whatever reason. ughhhh idk if i could pick a top3 all time thats super tough. if so it might be
>blake - self titled lp
>no knife - fire in the city of automatons (more indie but still counts maybe?)
>cole - idea of city

i find it wierd that zen arcade is considered post hardcore these days, its kind of the peak of straight up hardcore leaning into alt rock to me. phc is such a wide genre tho so it makes sense
pretty pleb choices but for me its probably nation of ulysses for old school phc and the first glassjaw for the more new school sound.

since you said 3 ill throw in a wildcard:

ah that's cool I was into all of your faves a lot within the last year or so. that era of artists has a lot more favorites of mine but the 80s phc is still so nostalgic for me
that tintoretto song is sick
Lincoln Brown
A shame these guys never topped their debut. What a great slab of German Post-Hardcore.

>boilermaker
absolute classics, they aged like fine wine
>stumpy
this is cool stuff, noisy and raw just like the earlier phc bands. had no cluethe duster guitarist started with phc
Levi Hughes
Foreign Bronze is really good. I need to cop that.
My philosophy about trips is to put it on when I've done some digging and listened to a bunch of stuff and think I know a little about what I'm talking about.

I used to care more about it but this board is usually so dead it just makes me sad. you've been a lot more active lately that's cool though
I didn't realize that jawbox album was one of your favorites, that's a good pick. I still have to listen to rockets red glare

Some people seem to find that RRG record boring. They work around a modal harmony during elongated stretches where they traverse through different melodic progressions and syncopated rhythms. It's not for everybody. But I love it. It reminds me of 70's Miles Davis records.
It feels weird pick that Jawbox record since they got better after that. But those songs feel anthemic: soaring and triumphant. And Bill's vocals/harmonies seem more prominent.
Jaxson Gutierrez
btw I count the Tongues 7" that came with the Novelty CD. That's what really puts it over the top for me.

>modal phc
sounds really interesting, and right up my alley. I feel like I remember not being able to find a good slsk dl for this years ago
I haven't listened to any of jawbox's later stuff, I came to novelty just from J. Robbins' involvement with government issue. my favorite has to be static
also those april psalm and blue chair links are great. definitely some releases I'll be listening to a few more times soon
Brody Thomas
hey pen, i think i remember you saying you weren't a huge fan of rrg's self titled record, but what do you think of their redshift / halifax single? it might be my favorite rrg project, i like the lo-fi production and the choatic shuffly drum beats

>this board is usually so dead it just makes me sad.
That's funny; I treat it as a welcome limiting factor so I don't end up wasting too much time here. If I really need to get something out, I'll start a thread myself. The level of conversation has always been terrible. It may have become a little worse lately, but it's nothing compared to 2018 /polmu/.
If you mean that the board is slow, that could be a good thing for the people who care about niche genres to keep a conversation going. When I posted, this thread had been dead for almost 5 hours.
Judging from the chart threads, I've been seeing decent interest in 90's phc & emo here lately. But that might be a skewed sample. Still seems promising for these threads if we can keep them alive (with a popular OP pic).
>modal phc sounds really interesting, and right up my alley
They don't take it too far, so you might temper expectations about modality.
Halifax is the greatest Blake song they never wrote under that name. Even better than Lamplight. That main riff is fun as fuck.
B-side is great, too.
I tried again with the first LP recently. It just dragged on and on for me. I have a similar problem with Hurl. But they got better with Taking Pictures.
Nathan Evans
i actually haven't heard hurl or taking pictures, ill have to check em out
i like the self titled rrg record so i probably wont hate hurl
