Most Talented Post-Hardcore / Hardcore Bands

The Top Ten
1 A Day to Remember A Day to Remember (often abbreviated ADTR) is an American rock band from Ocala, Florida, founded in 2003 by guitarist Tom Denney and drummer Bobby Scruggs. They are known for their unusual amalgamation of metalcore and pop punk. The band currently consists of vocalist Jeremy McKinnon, rhythm guitarist ...read more.

Their songs are all awesome. I'm from Philippines and when I first heard their song I got hooked up and then search for all of their other song. I really appreciate it so catchy and awesome. The scream and clean parts are balance and the instruments are perfect.

Best band out there today. Most versatility of any of these bands and all of their songs are good. They never settle for anything less than the best. They aren't trying to be the best band of their genre. They are trying to be the best, period.

A Day To Remember is the damn single best band alive! Don't believe me, then listen to: 2nd Sucks, All Signs Point To Lauderdale, Homesick, or All I Want. I'm sure you'll find one you'll like.

Only band that has really catchy scream songs. I mean that's a hard thing to do. We came As Romans gets 2nd place for me because of their amazing song To Plant A Seed.

2 Sleeping With Sirens Sleeping with Sirens is an American rock band from Orlando, Florida currently residing in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The band currently consists of Kellin Quinn, Gabe Barham, Jack Fowler, Nick Martin, and Justin Hills.

Sleeping with sirens is an amazing band. They are very musically talented, and can cover a variety of different sounds. In their first album, With ears to see and eyes to hear, they have a very heavy, sullen feeling, with a few uplifting and heart warming songs. Lets cheer to this is perfect xP No other way to put it. In Feel, they experiment and succeed with producing both some of their heaviest and most uplifting songs, as well as Kellin screams a bit, and I personally think he's awesome at it So yeah. I think they are the best. Hbu?

They're a very talented band and have really good music. They have a lot of variety in their music, the albums they have are quite different from each other. They come up with something different with every album. Their music has very meaningful lyrics and also, Kellin Quinn's vocals are amazing.

With Ears to See and Eyes to Hear, Let's Cheers to This, If You Were a Movie, This Would Be Your Soundtrack and Feel.

What can I say, exceptional!

I just can't get over this band. I like PTV as well, but SWS IS MY FIRST CHOICE! Mostly, SWS's songs fit perfectly about my life. There's this one of their songs; Trophy Father's Throphy Son that tells us about a father left his family behind, making his son felt responsible for everything.
I came from a broken home. My parents have divorced. I'm currently living with my mother, together with my three brothers. Watching my mother raising the four of us without a man's support; it is so unbearable. I have the urge to change our life, to make our life better. I can't deny that it has been such a hell, as mentioned in the lyric. Yeah, it has been such a hell. My father, right now, is nowhere to be known. He hardly picks up our (me and my brothers) calls. He often gives excuses for this and that. Last time we met each other was on April 2015. He puts all the blames about everything that happened in our family on my mother, but we know who's right and who's wrong.
Maybe, he might ...more

Sleeping with sirens is an amazing band. I love Kellin's voice. The way he screams. He is the only vocalist I know and heard with a countertenor voice. When I hear his voice I feel so relaxed.. So that's it! And I really love the lyrics of their songs.. Lets Cheers to this everyone.. This band is quite cool and so relatable.

3 Bring Me the Horizon Bring Me the Horizon is a British rock band from Sheffield, Yorkshire. Formed in 2004, the group currently consists of vocalist Oliver Sykes, guitarist Lee Malia, bassist Matt Kean, drummer Matt Nicholls, and keyboardist Jordan Fish. They are signed to RCA Records globally and Columbia Records exclusively ...read more.

Throughout their entire career, their maturation can be seen. They started young with fresh ideas and a rough sound, and grew into a group of men who found depth in their music. even with the ever changing style, they still stick to their roots. Amazing live vocals, amazing singing voice, very moving instrumentals. BMTH will always be the top of the scene.

I know a lot of people think that BMTH lyrics are completely meaningless, but don't insult them. Cause their lyrics means a lot to me. To be honest, I don't like music like Pierce The Veil and Black Veil Brides. Seriously. Listen to a band like Bring Me The Horizon, at least they have the talent. Just my opinion!

They are what got me into this music and now I love it! They are by far my favorite band alive. I love every song, member, album, and especially merch. If you haven't listened to them, you should give them a try. You won't regret it

Every album is awesome. One of my favourite bands ever, they completely changed the sort of music I listened to and really widened my Horizons (pun-intended).

4 Asking Alexandria Asking Alexandria are an English metalcore band from York, North Yorkshire formed initially in 2008 by lead guitarist Ben Bruce along with former lead singer Danny Worsnop, bassist Joe Lancaster, keyboardist and synth player Ryan Binns, and current members drummer James Cassells and rhythm guitarist ...read more.

Asking alexandria is one of the best bands I have ever heard! They have meaningfull lyrics, powerful guitars solos, and awesome vocals. Put that together and you have a truly epic combination! Otherwise known as ASKING ALEXANDRIA!

Absolutely love this band, I don't really care what other people say about this band, but in my eyes and by my ears I truly believe that Danny worsnop has an amazing scream, growl and awesome clean vocals.

Dude even though danny changed his hair and now looks like a hobo, this stays one of the best bands ever. Good drums, good vocals, amazing guitars and reasonable bass. What more do you want

Incredible music
Lyrics that actually mean something
Talented group of musicians
Ability to change yet still keep their original style
What more can you ask for in an amazing band!?

5 Pierce the Veil Pierce the Veil is an American post-hardcore band from San Diego, California. Formed in 2006, the band was founded by brothers Vic and Mike Fuentes after the disbandment of the group Before Today, which was formed out of the San Diego punk rock scene.

Pierce The Veil are one of the most amazing bands out there right now (in my opinion, obviously. )Here's why:
1) They are all incredibly musically talented. In every song, they all get a chance to show off how talented they really are. Vic's vocals are so unique - I've never heard anything like them before. One moment, they're angry and passionate - next, sad and emotional. Vic's guitar playing is also amazing. Tony Perry, the lead guitarist, is one of the best guitarists I have heard - just listen to the opening riff of Besitos! In all of their songs Tony's guitar work really shines through. Mike's drums are one of the key parts of their songs, and again he is incredibly talented. Their songs would not be the same without Mike's raw energy that he puts into his drumming. Jaime is a great bassist - you cannot hear them much in the tracks but live he really displays his talent. And he still manages to play while jumping around for practically the whole show!
2) Their lyrics are ...more

Pierce The Veil is clearly number 1! I mean just listen to them, their lyrics and everything! They are amazing and problaby the band that has saved most lives!
They save people with their lyrics, they tell you that you are beautiful when you feel like a piece of crap, they make me feel happy, they make everyone happy, I just love them so much!
The lyrics actually means something to people, they remind you of the good things in life, just listen to them and you will falling in love with their songs, their lyrics, them, they are just so perfect that I want to cry!
The world really needs them! Everybody needs them

Pierce the veil are amazing. They've taught me to be brave, stay strong and respect myself. Vic's vocals are beautiful. Filled with raw emotion. Tony's guitar just listen to the opening riff of Besitos enough said. Mike's constant beat just pierces its way into my heart and Jaime's bass just blows me away. They're lyrics mean so much I mean have you heard Hold on till May, Match into water or Disasterology? The thing is PTV are constantly trying to better themselves. And that's what I love about them.

They put so much effort into each and every one of their songs. On Selfish Machines, if you listen closely, there are so many parts and components to all of the song, all blending together in a piece of art. They specialize in the progression of their music (the second verse is always more powerful than the first. ) I do not like all of their songs, but I believe they are artistic geniuses, they are better musicians than 90% of current artists.

6 Escape the Fate Escape the Fate is an American rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada, formed in 2005 and originally from Pahrump, Nevada. They are signed to Eleven Seven Music.

Escape the fate is the ultimate post hard or band. It is the band that got me into listening post hard core. I like them because
1 Craig is an extremely talented vocalist with excellent screaming
2. The lyrics are awesome And the song are extremely meaningful
3. They've got the most awesome band members bryan, Michael, Craig, max and thomas are all super cool
Check em out if you already haven't and if you don't like 'em then you ought to be kidding me!

I always thought Pierce The Veil would be my top post-hardcore band, but Escape The Fate is something else. The sick lyrics, the various sounds and tones and the killer vibe of "This War Is Ours". Escape The Fate gladly holds my number 3 spot of My favorite Bands of all time.

I would have expected Escape the fate to be first however, how can they be when Ronnie is no longer their Craig sucks, he is a good artist but its really hard to up Ronnie, his potential would have been so superb if he was still with them. Falling in reverse should be on here.

Madd good band, but most of the bands on here are really good, too. I think just about every band deserves the place they're in.
I can't wait for Falling In Reverse's new album to come out! M/

7 We Came As Romans We Came as Romans (abbreviated as WCAR) is an American metalcore band from Troy, Michigan, formed in 2005. The band has gone through one name change and multiple lineup changes, and signed to Albany, New York label Equal Vision Records in 2009. We Came as Romans is managed by Outerloop Management and ...read more.

The musicianship is very strong! Great lyrics and melody's! Drums are amazing and love the idea of Eric Choi's cymbal use and creative ideas overall. Amazing band that will prolly forever remain in my top list of bands. It's a blessing to even listen to the bands music!

They're lyrics aren't angry... They're not the normal post-hardcore band that you hear everyday. They're so much better than most of them! They're lyrics are meant to reach out to others and touch you like a good band should!

Great synth, powerful vocals, thundering breakdowns. Not to forget amazing lyrics. A Day to Remember pushes towards the emocore side.

Everything about them is amazing! Especially their lyrics!

8 Bullet for My Valentine Bullet for My Valentine are a Welsh metalcore band from Bridgend, formed in 1998. The band is composed of Matthew Tuck (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Michael Paget (lead guitar, backing vocals), Michael Thomas (drums) and Jamie Mathias (bass guitar). Former members include Nick Crandle and Jason James; both were on bass. They were formed under the name Jeff Killed John and started their music career by covering songs by Metallica and Nirvana. Jeff Killed John recorded six songs which were not released; two of these tracks were reworked later in their career as Bullet for My Valentine. Financial difficulties dictated the name change, which was followed by a change in music direction. In 2002, ...read more.

Bullet for my valentine is great and all but it shouldn't be on this list since it is a heavy metal band, not post-hardcore!

These guys have amazing guitar players and should be in the top ten

9 Falling In Reverse Falling in Reverse is an American post hardcore band from Las Vegas, Nevada, formed in 2008, signed to Epitaph Records. ...read more.

Ronnie is good, but that's allready been said hasn't it... Here are some people you forgot to mention:
Derek: Great guitarist, dench, works well with jacky.
Jacky: Amazing, world class lead guitarist, cute shy personality
Ryan: Very Talented Drummer.
Mika: Now left the band but was good and had epic fashion sense
Ron: Have you heard the bass in fashionably late?

Ronnie has some AWESOME screams and good singing, I ain't gonna lie it is not the best but it fits their music. Jacky is an amazing shredder. Derek is a very awesome rhythm guitarist. And Ryan is the best drummer.

These guys deserve a Top 5 spot, they have some really complex songs. They might be goofy sounding most of the time, but listen to Guillotine IV, Don't Mess With Ouija Boards, and Born to Lead, and their complexity shines.

So good and in my opinion even better than old Escape The Fate...
I think Ronnie fits even better in Falling In Reverse and I can't wait for their second album to come out beacause their first album is seriously my favourite album of all time

10 Black Veil Brides Black Veil Brides is an American rock band currently consisting of Andy Biersack (vocals), Jinxx (guitar), Jake Pitts (guitar), Christian Coma (drums) and Ashley Purdy (bass), that formed in 2006 in Ohio. ...read more.

BVB is amazing! There lyrics are so meaningful and really describe how teenagers are feeling nowadays. Mist of them anyway. There music tells them to never give in and always believe in yourself. Dreams do come true if you believe enough. And there really good guys. Absolutely down to earth and they love their fans. They deserve to be #1. And so does Blood On The Dance Floor. There amazing guys to. Even not all there lyrics are clean. They stand for something good and have good hearts.

Black veil brides is amazing and their music is passionate and beautiful. The band members are as god as the music. Most bands lose character as their fame grows but bvb didn't and still doesent. This band saves lives it should be top ten at least.

Black Veil Brides concept record, The Wretched & Divine, is perfection. They're so dedicated to their fans, and their lyrics have true meaning that is easy to appreciate.

Black veil brides mean so much to me. They are my saviours. If it werent for them, I wouldn't be here today.

The Contenders
11 Underoath Underoath is an American rock band from Tampa, Florida. Founded by Dallas Taylor and Luke Morton on November 30, 1997, in Ocala, Florida; subsequently its additional members were from Tampa.

UnderOath is by far the most artistic metalcore and/or post-hardcore band to ever exist. The message behind their lyrics offer depth and hope far beyond any other band in the genre. Though their line-up changed, every album was great. A consitent and noble band.

Underoath paved the way for half of the bands on this list. They helped define modern metalcore. And also, there isn't a single album by any band on this list half as good as Define The Great Line or They're Only Chasing Safety.

Easily one of the longest serving and most consistent post hardcore/metalcore bands ever. To the day they called it quits it was 100% all the way into their music and it really shows, such raw emotion it's spine-tingling!

No other band on this list is half as creative and inventive as Underoath. Their music is addictively engaging and ruthlessly heartbreaking! Plus they are all very talented musicians with lots to say through their art.

12 Silverstein Silverstein (/ˈsɪl.vər.stiːn/) is a Canadian rock band from Burlington, Ontario, formed in 2000. Their band name is a reference to the famous children's author Shel Silverstein, whom the band had admired and whose work they had read as children. They have released a total of 11 studio albums, seven EPs, a compilation album and a live DVD/CD. Their lineup remained unchanged for eleven years from December 2001 to September 2012, then consisting of lead vocalist Shane Told, lead guitarist Neil Boshart, rhythm guitarist Josh Bradford, bassist Billy Hamilton, and drummer Paul Koehler. In September 2012, the band had announced that Neil Boshart had been fired and would be replaced by Paul Marc ...read more.

You know, I've listened to a lot of post-hardcore - enough to grow tired of the teenage angst that seems to be the driving force behind this redundant, linear genre. The powerful but ultimately generic guitar riffs, the excruciatingly overused bass drum, the harsh yet whiny vocals mixed with the all too familiar auto-tuned clean vocals, and God forbid the fusion of electronic synthesizers. Luckily I knew I had to pay the troll toll to get to the boy's hole. In other words, I sifted through most of the garbage (A Day To Remember, Escape The Fate, Peirce the Veil, etc.) in order to find the good stuff, because I knew it was there. Thank God for Silverstein. Their album, Discovering the Waterfront, is an 11-track melodic metalcore masterpiece. When you've listened to all their albums as much as I do, and hear the harmonic blend of the various subtleties, you will understand. But, considering that A Day To Remember made 1st place, that day will most definitely never come. Now go listen to ...more

Silverstein should be number 1 because..
-Told sing and scream clearly and does better vocals than other post-hardcore bands.
-Every album has its OWN meaning. like, This is how the wind shifts. It means how people change and its contents is really attached to it.
-Album art is so unique.
-not a generic drum beats. Paul m/
-They've been around for many years!
-Told sings not just for loud and screaming but instead it's a draw between meaningful lyrics and screaming.
-Cool name and has story behind it.
Not just these... it's too much to post it here

Best post hardcore band so far but seems to be underrated. Discovering the waterfront is a masterpiece I'm telling U. Shane does have descent screams and clean vocals. They deserve to be at the top. Alesana was good too if you want light and heavy songs. Hawthorne heights was good as well but when casey died there genre also died. Saosin was also good but failed to keep it up.

This is my favorite band. Every time my life hits a rough spot, it is this band that cheers me up and relates to me in a way no other band has ever really been able to do. Just listen to their albums Rescue, Discovering the Waterfront, and This is How the Wind Shifts.

13 Of Mice & Men Of Mice & Men is an American metalcore band from Orange County, California. The band's lineup currently consists of lead vocalist and bassist Aaron Pauley, guitarists Phil Manansala and Alan Ashby, and drummer Valentino Arteaga.

Of Mice & Men with Shay probably the best thing I've ever listened to. Second and Sebring is probably the most lyrically beautiful song ever written along with This Ones For You. And Shayley's voice in The Ballad Of Tommy Clayton And The Rawdawg Millionaire, near perfection. I love OM&M. Defiantly deserve better than 9th.

Just amazing hands down. It's a shame to see shay go but that's not a problem. With their new lead singer I believe it's going to bring something new to the table and something entirely fresh. Austin's screams are incredible and the lyrics are very meaningful.

Of mice and men are just the raw form of talent, especially with Austin in the band and I just hope they make music forever because it will never get old.

Of Mice & Men have really relatable lyrics and are insanely good live. Indefinitely my favourite band by far, plus Austin's screams are incredible!

14 Enter Shikari

By far the most unique hardcore band in existence, plus rou is in my opinion onr of the most creative musicians as well as an amazing singer!

The most creative band what I ever heard!

15 A Skylit Drive

Have you heard their newest album identity on fire? If not you need to listen to it. That whole album blows these other bands out of the park. Another GREAT album is wires and the concept of breathing. Get to listening!

One of the best post-hardcore bands nowdays. Their every album is perfect in it every own way. What ever they do they get even more fans then before but still manigin to sound perfect!

I love these guys! It's really cool how the contrast the diffent voice tones in The Cali Buds! The deserve to be way higher on the list!

I'm surprised they're not in the top three... Asking Alexandria is a good band but not as good as ASD and and I don't really care for BMTH. Really, ADTR is the only band in the top that could match up with ASD.

16 The Devil Wears Prada The Devil Wears Prada is an American metalcore band from Dayton, Ohio, formed in 2005. It consists of members Mike Hranica, Jeremy DePoyster, Andy Trick, and Daniel Williams.

The Devil Wears Prada are one of the bands that have stuck to the genre as well as their style (as well as no lead singer change). They have never fallen into the category of monotonous chugging on the guitar and same scream, sing chorus, and breakdown style that all bands are doing now. While they may not be the best live you can tell the emotion they put into their music and they put on a great show.

None of the bands before these guys actually have better talent. Not only are their instrumentals absolutely stunning, but as well as the vocals and their lyrics. The Devil Wears Prada ROCKS! Oh and why don't I see Underoath on here?! They STARTED post-hardcore and made it what it is!

Insane drums, nerve chilling clean vocals, heavy breakdowns, and heart breaking melodies. This band just gets better with every album!

17 Attack Attack!

Definitely not Asking Alexandria. Asking Alexandria have absolutely no respect in my book. If you ever saw them live, you would know how utterly unimaginably terrible they are.

The best hardcore with synth ever other than Asking Alexandria! All of the songs in their new album was freakingly awesome. Attack Attack! FTW!

Where is asking alexandria? I think they are worthy to be placed in the 1st place. err

18 Alesana

Alesana has been in the business for 8 years now. Honestly many of us wouldn't even listen to this type of music if it weren't for them, they have influenced post-hardcore. Their sounds and techniques are so unique. Shawn's clean vocals are amazing, & also the way they incorporate Melissa's Milke's voice into their records too, and seriously NO SCREAMER sounds like Dennis Lee. Oh, and Jeremy Bryan, seriously whether you like Alesana or not, you have to admit that he is one of the best drummers alive. Their lyrics are pure beauty & the topics in which they base their songs and albums on, like seriously which band does that. They deserve to be up there. These guys are SO GOOD & UNDERRATED. I still jam Alesana. Hate on it.

Best Post-Hardcore band I have ever heard and one of the first I ever listened to. Most beautiful vocals I have ever heard and how many bands have the ability to straight up make a girl horny I mean really. Sick ass drumming sexy members. This band deserves to be in the top. Every aspect of them is pure artistry pain, lust, love, horror, and hate. They undeniably deserve top ten.

This band has changed my life. I'm in college as a music major right now, and I admire how extraordinary their musicality and lyrics are. They are so unique and talented, they know how to stand out, and the harmonies in not only vocals but also the instruments are superb. They should be in the top 5 at least for not only their musicality but their influence as well.

Nobody in the business would be like they are now if it wasn't for Alesana, To write a story, turn it into music, and sing it with emotion and make it sound good, that's the power of Alesana. Nobody can scream like Dennis Lee, and Shawn Milke is pure amazing. Melissa Milke also has an amazing voice. Alesana #1, hands down.

19 Memphis May Fire Memphis May Fire is an American metalcore band formed in Denton, Texas and currently signed to Rise Records.

In my opinion Memphis may fire is really unique and the have the most truthful and perfect lyrics... Not to mention the people in the band are super nice too. They just seem like a good honest band and they should definitely be in the top 5 at least!

Their first studio album "Sleepwalking" is a one in a million album, not just your average post hardcore album, really gets you off the floor and pumped!
Amazing band

Great band with great lyrics! The Challenger album is blasted on my radio all the time! And also this album has been very influential to me!

In my opinion memphis may fire has more talent than almost any other band besides maybe like haste the day fit for a king or a day to remember (possibly beartooth? )

20 Senses Fail

This list is messed up. Where is Thursday, At The Drive In, La Dispute, mwithoutYou and Fall of Troy? And why is Senses Fail at 29? They are some of the only bands from this mostly laughed-at genre that lots of people and critics will look back on as being very musically important, even outside of their own genre. Most of this other stuff is trendy garbage, save some Underoath and a few bands with moments here and there.

All the bands in this list would arguably not exist, or at least in their same form, if it weren't for Thursday, At The Drive In and a few of their contemporaries. Though these bands didn't invent the genre, they DID in fact plant the seed for this "genre" in the 21st century. They were imitated and followed by a ton of inauthentic, egocentric emo/"scene" kids emulating an /aesthetic/ without the artistic value or care for providing you with any thoughtful message from their music. Those kids who want to be in a band because bands are cool.

Bands like ...more

The singer has gone through a lot, and he isn't afraid to vent in his lyrics, which go to some of the best screamo/post-hardcore songs I have ever heard. Not much will ever match the thrashy, yet somehow emotinally driven, Free Fall Without A Parachute, or the extremely emotional and melodic Still Searching.

21 Avenged Sevenfold Avenged Sevenfold is an American heavy metal band, that was formed 1999 in California. Their longest lineup of members was M. Shadows (Vocals), Synyster Gates (Lead Guitar), Zacky Vengeance (Rhythm Guitar), Johnny Christ (Bass Guitar), and The Rev (Drums). ...read more.

Avenged sevenfold is not post hardcore, is heavy metal!

22 As I Lay Dying As I Lay Dying is an American metalcore band from San Diego, California. Founded in 2000 by vocalist Tim Lambesis, the establishment of the band's first full lineup, which included drummer Jordan Mancino, occurred in 2001. As I Lay Dying has released six albums, one split album, and two compilation albums.

Now with their 10 year anniversary, one of the most popular Metalcore band's is getting stronger with every album. Heavy riffs and breakdowns, awesome drums, awesome vocals, perfect balance of melody and harmony with crazy rhythms that make you want to bang you head against the table!

23 August Burns Red August Burns Red is an American metalcore band from Manheim, Pennsylvania. Formed in 2003, the group began their first performances while a majority of the members were attending their senior year of high school, and soon began playing shows around Lancaster, before being signed to CI Records. Afterwards, ...read more.

Easily the most creative and best metalcore band around. Great vocals, positive lyrics, shredding guitar, and just powerful songs. The first song of leveler is amazing. Very excited for new album this week.

By far the best drummer in all of Hardcore music. The guitarist is crazy too. I don't know how this band isn't even on the list.

This band is so good.

24 Alexisonfire Alexisonfire is a five-piece Canadian post-hardcore band that formed in St. Catharines, Ontario in 2001. The band consists of George Pettit, Dallas Green, Wade MacNeil, Chris Steele, and Jordan Hastings.

Alexisonfire is the only band ever.

But really, though. The fact that they're number 30 has me shaking my head in sadness. Ontario truly made some great melodic/post/whatever style of hardcore punk in the 00's, but Alexisonfire are the kings

Best band in the world for me, not just musically but with their live performance, it sickens me to see them this far down the table, who else has a voice like Dallas and a scream like George!

If they were still together I would be shocked if they weren't number one still better than most of the bands on this list if you never got to see them perform you missed out.

Typical "hardcore band's" song structure
1. [:screaming the verse
2. clean singing the chorus :]
3. break down.. Yeah you get the point
Alexisonfire is way more complex and different when compared to everything else on here. I don't know they're just amazing beautiful clashing guitars screams that flow with the clean vocals rather then them being separate. So vote Alexis; they at least deserve a #5 spot!

25 Dance Gavin Dance

I thought this was for most talented not most fanboyed. Will swan is arguably the best guitarist out there he's just so underrated because of the genre. He hits the most amazing riffs I've ever heard. John mess is also considered the best screamer out there too. His lyrics and just tone are phenomenal in every song. Matt Mingus just brings it all together. He kills it with the drums and is also very underrated as a drummer. Oh yea last but not least Tillian Pearson! His voice is heavenly and get hit seemingly any note. Everyone else just brings it all together to create just superb songs. These guys are definitely the most talented. Everyone else on here just talks about their songs and just say they're the best because I like them. Figure out what talent means and then you'll learn why DGD is the most talented band out there.

DGD is so versatile they fuse in so many different elements to there songs Tillian has such an amazing note range and probably one of the greatest voices I've ever heard. Jon Mess is debatably the top in his field and Will Swan is one of the best guitarists I've ever heard. No one gives credit to Matt Mingus either who is great as well. If you listen and pay attention to every element in there songs you'll realize how amazing they really are and how much work they put into each song. Every song is different. They are such an underrated band and I don't know why. I'd rather see this band in concert than any of the above bands

God, I hate FIR. And PTV's fanbase probably has never touched a DGD song. Unless of course they saw them tour with them back in the early days.

This band is the best post-hardcore has to offer. Post-hardcore is my favorite genre, by the way, and while DGD isn't my favorite band of all time, it's my favorite post-hardcore band, and post-hardcore is my favorite genre.

DGD is one of the most innovative bands in the genre. I reccomend their last 3 albums, the Tillian/Mess era. Certain songs to check out: Shark Dad, We Own The Night, and Inspire the Liars.

DGD is almost experimental at this point as they've managed to integrate multiple styles with each album release. With the turnover of band members they experimented with fusion jazz, funk rock, and some hip hop. Ultimately the complexity of their songs wins my heart. And the lyrics that are intelligible enough to understand speak of deep meaning and document a sort of pain that can be related to.
