Oh, fantastic, I love that stuff. Please, I love recommendations!
I’m a big post-hardcore and emo (including that third-wave emo-pop, of which I’ve heard frankly too many bands and probably have a problem) guy. Not crazy about metalcore, really (I mean, I like Poison The Well, but who doesn’t?), but I like metalcore recs because I feel like I just don’t have enough of a feel for it.

Ooo, if you're into Poison the Well, I highly recommend checking out this EP: A Chapter Worth Reading... by Of Eden

Poison the Well-esque Melodic Metalcore that has an old school emo twist (talkin' Glassjaw or Skycamefalling kind of emo). Hidden treasure; 'This Lasts Forever' is my favorite track.

Thanks so much!
Glassjaw is one of my favourite emo bands.

Going to sound like such a weeb here but it’s incredible how Japan just figured out peak music with 80’s city pop and it’s been all downhill since then

(okay not really but my lord there’s some good stuff here if you’re not familiar)

why have the masses not discovered j-core yet

i especially love the oldskool stuff with the completely unabashed sampling

I just listened to head over heels by the cocteau twins, great album I loved it
