While we are on the topic of getting music of different types. . . I am sick of listening to Muse, Brand New, Greenday, and FallOutBoy. . .any suggestions for music classifed under indie, skater punk, punk, emo, etc.

Atreyu
Cursive
From Autumn to Ashes
AFI (A Fire Inside) - not something that I really like, but it's decent.

Well, actually what I named is probably better classified under screamo or hardcore... Cursive is probably soft enough to be called emo though.

Again, it's not really a genre I like, but you can't really go wrong with Weezer.

Also, check out: 36 crazyfists, Avenged Sevenfold, Atreyu, but they're moving further from Emo and closer to metalcore.

Some more bands that you might like: Boy hits car, deftones, faith no more, they're not terribly emo, but decent all the same for skaters.

Sick of Green Day *gasp*

Most of what I listen to falls under one of those categories. I'm too lazy to save my current playlist as an html and upload it somewhere, so I'm gonna list some specific bands:

(apologies in advance if I get genres incorrect, I was never well-versed in different styles of punk and such; I generally can tell between punk and emo, but it's all blurry)

Sum 41 - Skater punk, I guess. They remind me a lot of the Beastie Boys, if the Beastie Boys had guitars. Hell Song, Fat Lip, and In Too Deep are all goood.

Hawthorne Heights - emo. Screamo, maybe. Lots of loud whiny screams and songs about lost love and such. I like them. I recommend Ohio is For Lovers.

Juliana Theory - JTheory was recommended to me by a friend. Their sound is kind of soft, most of the time. Get "If I Told You This Was Killing Me, Would You Stop?".

hellogoodbye - different. Very different. Emo, kind of, but also a little bit of pop. They're the most unique thing on this list, I think.

Matchbook Romance - I'm gonna call this emo, but apparently some people disagree. I don't care. "Your Stories, My Alibis" is decent, so is "Vindicated" (which happens to be on the Spiderman 2 soundtrack)

Senses Fail - Get "Buried A Lie". If you like it, listen to other songs.

Never Heard of It - Fun, if not very unique, punk. I like Let's Go All The Way, She's A Dick, and Satisfied, from the CD 11 Days.

Unwritten Law - Punk. They recently released a video for the song "Save Me", from their new CD I believe. I don't like it that much, honestly-- however, anything from their first CD (self-titled) is a good bet.

NOFX - I own two songs; both of them came from Rock Against Bush compilations. They're pretty good, I think. I haven't heard anything other than those few, though.

Misfits - Old punk. You may or may not like them, I dunno-- and there's others here that will likely be able to recommend better than I specific songs, but try Last Caress, Helena and Die, Die My Darling.

I could go on. Check my audioscrobbler (link in my sig), and if I decide to upload my Winamp playlist, check it too. I'll probably put it right next to the audioscrobbler link.

EDIT: I was trying to stay away from the harder stuff, but definitely everything mentioned by Rye and Exonerate.

LOL Jessi do nothing go to prom anyways is most assuradly unique for a awhile hellogoodbye were my favorite

yes sick of greenday bc i've been listening to it er. . the past three weeks straight?

and the rest of you guys thanks for some awsome suggestions and not ignoring a red shit

Reel Big Fish is, I think, the quintessential Ska band. It's a lot of fun to listen to, I recommend highly.

You mean Ska hasn't been banned yet?

I'm probably wrong, but I was under the impression that "Vindicated" was a Dashboard song?

The only good Ska was made by Madness, way back in the day. "I like driving in my car" >>> Reel Big Shit

Sod off. RBF is just as good as Madness, if not better. There's a reason Reel Big Fish is so popular, and it isn't corporate marketing.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing...maybe both bands have a song with the same name or something. *shrugs*

My Chemical Romance-emo, but from what I've heard, not *quite* as whiny as some. I love what I've heard.

AFI- If you want some punk, get their old stuff. He Who Laughs Last, Rolling Balls, and High School Football Hero, to name a few. If you want emo, get some more recent stuff, mainly from Sing The Sorrow. Some songs would be Silver and Cold, Girl's Not Grey, Leaving Song Pt 2. My favorite punk/emo band, by far.

Avenged Sevenfold- They can be pretty heavy at times, but there's still a bit of emo mixed in there. If you're into metal also, you should like them.

Killswitch Engage - Pretty much the same as Avenged Sevenfold. Heavy, but still a little emo.

Sublime - Great band, I guess they're ska/punk. Get Smoke Two Joints and Date Rape.

Cky - I can't figure out what they'd be classified as, but regardless, a really fun band.

Also: Deftones, Weezer, The Killers, The Used, 311

Dashboard sings it on the soundtrack. . . I can't find the Matchbook Romance anywhere . . . suggestions?

Skankin' Pickle mops the earth with Madness, and wipes their ass with Reel Big Fish, and I love Madness.

The Specials were much better than Madness, too.

But when it comes to Ska, if it's not the Skatalites, it's imitation.

Yes, yes it was. >.>

Mislabeled MP3. It was rather late when I posted that, and I wasn't really thinking. You may all point and laugh now as I hang my head in shame.



I second the suggestions on Killswitch, My Chemical Romance, and Avenged Sevenfold.

Funeral For a Friend are pretty good IMHO

I never understand why people hate ska so much. I mean, take a look at the pace, the trumpets, and the ryhtm. Punk aside, what else would be most suitable as jerk-off theme song?

I have Chemical Romance's Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. Its pretty good. I plan on getting The Killers album at some point. I like their "Mr. Brightside" song.
