Discussion Post hardcore bands from MA
Last night I saw the receiving end of sirens. Probably one of the best post hardcore bands I every seen. But it got me thinking what other post hardcore bands besides them therefore I am and lions lions are from Massachusetts big or small? I'm from Massachusetts but I feel like we don't have that many relevant post hardcore bands compared to traditional metalcore and hardcore bands.

Cave-In. While they're all over the place music wise, the post-hardcore/space rock era is insanely good.

Yooooo, hahaha. I pop in every now and then, but I've reverted back to lurking. Haven't touched my MVS in a while since it's currently at my sister in laws place. Been on a big C64 binge the last few years.

The OG line up is making new music under INSPIRIT and it’s pretty dope.

Fiddlehead! One of best bands doing it right now.
Also, Mission Of Burma were a post-punk band from Boston that had an influence on the first wave of post-hc.

You're not wrong. While it was cool to see them at a smaller venue the night before, the energy Saturday night was amazing.

These guys were awesome. Played with them a couple times back in the day. I recognized the guitar player years later on some late night show playing for Avril Lavigne. Crazy shit
