"Rites of Spring might be the most influential punk group that pretty much no one has ever heard of. [...] The example they set – their conduct, their attitude, and of course their music – would be hugely influential. A model, if you will, for how hardcore punk might grow up."
"Rites of Spring prides itself as one of the great hardcore punk bands, but many professional music critics and punk historians claim this beloved Washington D.C. outfit to be the first emo band. Mainly because the band's lyrics were more personal and in-depth than any of its hardcore punk contemporaries. Though Rites of Spring didn't want anything to do with the emo label, the band's only studio release has stood the test of time and got the ball rolling on a movement."
"The grandaddy of them all, Rites Of Spring arguably kicked off the entire [post-hardcore] movement with their sole album. With the hardcore scene in their hometown of Washington DC flourishing but becoming increasingly thuggish, they stepped away and changed things up, keeping the breakneck punk pace but displaying their own vulnerability and fears in the lyrics and whipping in something the genre was sorely missing: proper tunes."
"When it comes to emo royalty, Austin, Texas' Mineral is sitting at the head table."
"Senses Fail’s debut album, Let It Enfold You, introduced some of the best post-hardcore songs of the 2000s."
"Senses Fail has remained at the fore of the commercial hardcore scene since issuing their 2004 debut, Let It Enfold You. Mainstays of the Billboard 200 and U.S. indie charts, the band has released a string of acclaimed albums."
"Is it worth it can you even hear me Standing with your spotlight on me Not enough to feed the hungry I'm tired and I felt it for awhile now In this sea of lonely The taste of Ink is getting old It's four o' clock in the fucking morning Each day gets more and more like the last day Still I can see it coming While I'm standing in the river drowning This could be my chance to break out This could be my chance to say goodbye Can't take this town much longer Being half dead wasn't what I planned to be Now I'm ready to be free"
"The Used are kings of the 2000s emo scene."
"AFI have done a lot for the post-hardcore scene as a whole, but cracking into the mainstream with “Miss Murder” is a massive achievement. The song had all of the makings of a radio hit, with a massive chorus, driving bassline and simplistic nature to capture the attention of people in and out of the know on bands playing this style of music."
"The calming, atmospheric vibe at the beginning of mewithoutYou’s “In A Sweater Poorly Knit” is there to suck listeners in before the band start to build layer after layer of sounds, showing their capabilities in bringing out punk energy without ever tapping into harsh noise."
"Saosin’s cohesive mix of screamo and alt-rock elements set them apart as a core contributor to the development of post-hardcore in the early 2000s."
"Though their genre is arguably elusive — and can be described across the internet as everything from rock and screamo to Christian metal — Underoath embody post-hardcore. Initially drawing on death metal as an inspiration, they built a band on the bones of the Florida metal hardcore scenes. But as the group saw internal changes, they shifted the sound, forgoing some of the heavier notes for cleaner vocals and rhythm changes."
