Just listened to them, i like it, its catchy, but practically all pop punk is haha. I woudn't say the best ever. Are you familiar with Four Year Strong?

[goitalone]

A lot have been listed already, so props to that.
I love Four Year Strong!
Check out Thru It All, I think they're pretty sweet.
I'm looking for stuff like this all the time so if I come across one/ think of some more I'll post.

[mrsour]

Thanks, im going to give them a listen

[codeman]

If want soem really really good POP/PUNK with some absolutely BRUTAL breakdowns check out A Day To Remember they'll give you all of your fix

[schloss21]

A Day To Remember is absolutely amazing. I'm not sure if Four Letter Lie would be considered what you're looking for but check them out. I've been listening to them for a quite sometime now

[mrsour]

yeah i do like a day to remember. they are pretty sweet. im a fan of more punky stuff at the moment. the top are Four Year Strong, Set Your Goals, The Wonder Years, and Fight Fair.

and i will check out four letter lie

[schloss21]

You should like Four Letter Lie. They are actually really good. Their new album comes out on 2.19.07 and i'll have to up it as soon as i get it from my buddy who knows them personally.

[mrsour]

A lot have been listed already, so props to that.

Just listened to them not to bad, not to bad.

and to schloss im going to check them out now, and thats pretty sweet that you have the hookups haha

[schloss21]

i actually party once in a while with another band that plays in shows with four letter lie. it's pretty nice being able to know people. haha

[mrsour]

nice, im currently listening to them, from the first song it reminds me of underoath in "they are only chasing safety" cd and i see your from michigan i used to go to a lot of shows at skunks nest...you ever go there?

[schloss21]

nope, i've never been to skunks nest. it's a ways form where i live. i'm in the part of michigan that noone has ever heard of basically. haha

[mrsour]

ha jw.

so now i feel kinda dumb because none of the other songs reminded me of underoath. the one that did was let your body take over. but yeah all and all i like them. and am liking that this thread is getting some attention haha

[schloss21]

here are a few more bands that i just thought of that you might like.

Dear Whoever
Bleeding A Memory
Moment Of Truth
Before Their Eyes

[mrsour]

thanks i will give them a listen

[schloss21]

I'll go through my iPod and my computer either tonight or tomorrow and post some more bands cause i have a ton of bands like that are sort of pop punkish with breakdowns. i hope you enjoy those other bands that i just suggested and if you like them i believe that i posted their albums on this forum under the rock section and i might've also posted them on the main site.

[schloss21]

i thought of a couple more bands that you may be interested in. i just recently found out about them myself. if you listen to any of them and like what you hear i'll up the albums for you if i haven't already upped and posted them.

Eyes Set To Kill
Dead Poetic
Karate High School
Fiction City
Haste The Day
Holy Roman Empire
Houston Calls
Memphis May Fire
Greeley Estates
Every Bridge Burns
Kinves Exchanging Hands
My Hero Is Me
Ghost Of A Fallen Age
Your Name In Vain
Bleed The Dream
Never Heard Of It
The Dream (their best music is on the soon to be released album, Etched In Blood)
A Day Away
Last Of The Believers
Hidden In Plain View
Goodbye Soundscape
Sparks The Rescue
Protest The Hero

Let me know what you think of those and then I will post some more good bands that I have recently come across. and like i said, if you like any of it and want there albums i'll up what i have.

(some of these aren't exactly pop punk with breakdowns but i think that you will still like what you hear)

[schloss21]

I am working on uploading some of this right now. i will have them posted in the music section sometime tomorrow.

[mrsour]

alright so i have heard of about half of them, i'll start checking them out now

[mrsour]

So after going through the ones i hadn't heard of i liked karate high school the most, but i also liked

sparks the rescue
goodbye soundscape
memphis may fire
knives exchaning hands

You went in a harder direction with some of them, so i will post the bands with some of my favorite breakdowns and up the albums tonight. Thanks for your input

[schloss21]

yeah, i kinda figured after looking at the list again that i was going in a harder direction. that just seems to be where may taste of music is heading because i haven't found any really new bands like the ones you're looking for.

[mrsour]

yeah i know exactly what you mean, thats why i started this thread. i was going to put up these bands

bring me the horizon
as blood runs black
zombie gutz
the warriors
stick to your guns

and two local bands that are really good
the unfolding
kingston falls

would you want me to put any of them up?

[anna karina]

curl up and die
greatest metalcore everever

[goitalone]

Actually The Gorgeous is the greatest metalcore...

[schloss21]

yeah i know exactly what you mean, thats why i started this thread. i was going to put up these bands

bring me the horizon

the unfolding
kingston falls

would you want me to put any of them up?

sure. you don't mind putting them all up do you? otherwise i just take a few cause i'm always looking for new stuff that i've never heard.

[anna karina]

Actually The Gorgeous is the greatest metalcore...

ha no way
cuad is easily the best of that ilk i have ever heard. i know alot of people quote botch as being the best but honestly, theyre boring in comparison

[mrsour]

No not at all, i will have them up today :D

[goitalone]

ha no way
cuad is easily the best of that ilk i have ever heard. i know alot of people quote botch as being the best but honestly, theyre boring in comparison

Botch and Curl Up and die are sweet no doubt, The Gorgeous just always rule in my mind. Maybe that's just me though.

[mrsour]

so i put up the albums in the metal section in the gold mine, most of them aren't exactly metal but thats where i put them. Expect some good music with some sweet breakdowns. Enjoy :)

[goitalone]

I looked at what you posted. Stick To Your Guns are decent. I've always liked them even though a lot of people hate on them, their songs are pretty catchy although they're kind of overrated. I've always hated Bring Me The Horizon, they just piss me off. Suicide Silence EP is way better than The Cleansing in my opinion. But pretty good picks I guess if you're into it.

[mrsour]

thanks, stick to your guns is very catchy, why the beef with bmth? I dont have the suicide silence ep, but i like the cleansing, what do you think of the warriors? You should also check out the local band i put up the unfolding

[goitalone]

I don't know where my bias came from but I've never been able to get into bmth. I'm definitely a long time fan of the warriors. The unfolding are pretty decent.
If you haven't already, check out the gorgeous - they rule (if I haven't made it clear enough how into them I am already in this thread)

[mrsour]

yeah, i liked the warriors first cd the best, and i will check out your band ha. i have some pretty high expectations

[goitalone]

They're so good and if you don't like them you're wrong!
...just kidding. But really.

[schloss21]

i just downloaded all of those albums that you posted and i'll give you my input on them after i listen to them tomorrow. i would right now but i need to get to bed cause i finally go back to school tomorrow and need to go get stuff ready.

[mrsour]

to alone, not to bad, not the greatest, but i like it, and thanks schloss

[schloss21]

basically i loved all of those band that you put up. some sounded a little heavier than expected but they were all still pretty good.

[mrsour]

sweet! Thanks

[schloss21]

i just added a ton of new albums to the Rock sub-forum in music. go check them out. i came upon them recently and was actually surprised with how good they are. i still have like 2 more albums to put up once they are done uploading

[goitalone]

I hate Greeley Estates!
But Hot Cross is cool f sho.

[anna karina]

never really liked hot cross. saetia on the other hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[marko92]

am I the only one to not understand the "with breakdowns" part?

[mrsour]

are you saying you dont know what breakdowns are, or are you saying that we strayed from pop punk w/ breakdowns, adding some that did not have any?

[marko92]

Don't know what breakdowns are.

[mrsour]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Break_(music)

try that

also do you have any of the cds we mentioned, because i could give you an example

[marko92]

If I understand correctly, a lot of pop-punk songs have breakdowns, don't they? It just seems like what the bridge in a song is.

[mrsour]

maybe, im don't know a whole lot about music, but im looking for the good big ones haha.

have you heard of four year strong? i could give you an example of what im talking about

[mrsour]

if you go to

www.purevolume.com/fouryearstrong


and listen to the song, heroes get remembered but legends never die and right around the 3 minute mark is a great pop punk breakdown

[marko92]

I'll check them out now, because I like pop-punk, though I've only heard of a few of the bands mentioned in this thread. A lot of them are american based, so it's hard for me to find new bands.

[mrsour]

yeah, they are def my fav pop punk/ happy hardcore band. i think you will like them

[marko92]

How long did the breakdown on that song last, the one you told me to listen to? at about 3 minutes the music changed but then it didn't really change back.

[mrsour]

around 3:10 is where it goes back

[marko92]

Ah, I see. You guys seem to have mentioned really obscure bands, and I'd feel like a tool if I mentioned popular ones that I know of. They sound really similar to Taking Back Sunday

[mrsour]

ha don't worry about that, mention whatever you want, if we have already heard of them big deal, i like tbs although i feel like their cds keep getting a little worse. their first is my favorite.

i also posted some of my favorite hardcore cds with great breakdowns in the metal section of the goldmine if you're interested

[marko92]

I'm not really into Metal/Hardcore. The heaviest thing I like would be Atreyu, mainly the album "A death-grip on yesterday". I really have no idea what they did to their new album.

Staying on topic, though. Have you heard of Amber Pacific? They're not known over here, but they're really underrated. Boys Like Girls are pretty cool (I'm seeing them). I like Hit The Lights, though they recently lost their lead singer, not sure what's happened to them. blink-182 are my favourite, though everyone knows of them.

You might like Relient K's album "Mmhmm". I'm saying a specific album, because the others seem to be noticeably softer/lighter than that one, because Four Year Strong seem to be a bit heavier than average pop-punk bands.

[goitalone]

hahah Atreyu...

Anyways, check out a good friend of mine's band. Listen to the song That's What She Said.

http://www.myspace.com/greaterthangiants

[mrsour]

yeah, im not a huge atreyu fan, i really like amber pacific, i saw them at warp last year, i like boys like girls, and yeah who doesn't like blink they are amazing, i really like hit the lights, some of them went to highschool right by me, and yeah i get into some of relient k stuff, i have seen them as well. if you liked four year strong i would suggest, the wonder years, set your goals, and fight fair.

thanks for your input.

@goitalone i will check them out

[mrsour]

not to bad, i like it, talking about greater than giants

[marko92]

Also, for pop-punk you can check out all the Fueled by Ramen bands, they're all pretty similar, bar one of them (Gym Class Heroes).

[schloss21]

^^agreed. the Fueled by Ramen bands are very good. i have most of there albums. also check out some of the bands from Rise Records. they have some heavier bands but also some good ones. one of which i believe that i mentioned earlier - Before Their Eyes.

[goitalone]

Haha aren't Drop Dead Gorgeous signed to Rise Records? They're so shitty, and in no way "heavy." There's really no denying how terrible they really are. Their songs are filled with blatant, meaningless cliches with no subject or meaning at all. So I really hope they're no reflection of what any of the other bands on that record label are because that would be horrible.
I've only ever liked a few fueled by ramen bands. Maybe that's just not my kind of music though.

[anna karina]

'heavy' should only be used in regards to bands like sunn0))), earth, electric wizard and so on riiiiiight

[goitalone]

ya right on

[mrsour]

check out weekend fm they are pretty sweet

[mrsour]

also check out "all or nothing"

[goitalone]

Both are decent, all or nothing sound pretty good.
Also, I saw your request thread. Liferuiner...really?
Don't sink to that level!

[mrsour]

hahaha you dont like them? i just got back from seeing them haha whats wrong with them?

[goitalone]

When they came here during their set everyone left to get merch. They're such a joke, so fucking bad.

[mrsour]

i like them ha its catchy and fun to dance to. yeah they aren't the most skilled by any means, but its a fun show

[goitalone]

That's your deal. I just think they're so shitty in so many ways.
Oh well!

[mrsour]

goitalone you happen to have the knucklepuck cd?

[goitalone]

No, sorry. I'm currently working on getting my album collection back together I lost a bunch when I moved and my computer crashed so I've been running seriously low.

[mrsour]

its cool, nobody could find it here, and you can't even buy it from them anymore which blows

[mrsour]

you have anything by every man for himself or xtripwirex?

[goitalone]

Nope sorry.

[mrsour]

its cool, bought the fight fair ep, its amazing, i will try to up it later

[clh3785]

i live right near worcester, where four year strongs from.

[clh3785]

they were giving their album awya for free to,
since they just got signed to decaydance (hopefully the dont sell out)
even though they already have, they used to be hardcore

[goitalone]

They used to be hardcore?
I've only listened to Rise Or Die Trying does anyone have their previous albums up anywhere?

[mrsour]

yeah i would like to get my hands on this album as well

[clh3785]

yeah i cant find their old demo anywhere.
but i did hear it once. and it was hardcore.

[actfast]

the new four year strong album recently leaked.
anyone hear this? i'm kind of into some of these covers.

[Tyler Durden]

yeah i liked it, brings back some good memories. i think either roll to me or semi charmed life were my favorite

[actfast]

i like the new set your goals as well.

listen to title fight and living with lions
summer is the prime time for pop punk. i've been blasting so much lifetime, kid dynamite, and shook ones.
