post-hardcore
Boy Sets Fire
To me, Boy Sets Fire is the first band I think of when I hear the genre post-hardcore. But in fairness, that’s because they were the first band I’d heard in this genre (since they’re from our home state), so I might be a little partial. But wouldn’t you know it… just when I was inspired to write a post about the only band to get signed out of our home state, I find they’ve broken up and in a rather tragic way.
Alexisonfire
For those of you haven’t heard of Alexisonfire, the name is pronounced “Alexis On Fire”… not “Alex Is On Fire”. Some how this band slipped under my radar for more than a few years. I first heard them being played at work back in 2006, but I never got around to buying any of their albums until about a month ago. Needless to say, I’ve purchased all three full length studio albums.
