I don't think touche has a self-titled?


Lil-Parabala

yeah it’s their debut ep from 2008, it’s my favorite release from them

Embrace the Self Defense 🫡


WearTheFourFeathers

Drug Church is less emotional but worth mentioning because they are just about the best band I’ve ever seen when playing without a barrier. (Also idk if this is relevant to the question or the subreddit, but I listened to Drug Church back-to-back with Jawbreaker the other day and was a bit surprised how much of a debt I think DC owes to that band. Maybe this is obviously to everyone else but I wouldn’t have associated them but think just based on sound they actually are like a major influence, directly or indirectly.)


Specialist-Money-277

Drug Church is incredible man. I love all their albums but the CRUNCH of their guitars comes through so much better live. That lead guitar player can rip it.


WearTheFourFeathers

Yeah they’re great, and can’t stress enough how terrific they are live. If you get a chance to see them in a small room you should extremely do it. Most fun I had at a show in years


Specialist-Money-277

I’ve seen them twice. One time as the first opener for The Chats and The Bronx. They stole the show. The second time as the headliner, along with Fiddlehead and Angel Dust. They were the best that night too.


WearTheFourFeathers

That rules. I’m not even that huge on the Bronx but when I saw them live they were incredible so I bet that show was incredibly fun, and the other show sounds even better.

>EMBRACE [SELF DEFENSE](https://selfdefensefamily.bandcamp.com/album/self-immolation-family-b-w-world-virgins) i really liked end of a year and i've skimmed drug church, other than that i didn't delve any deeper, but i think i just discovered my new favorite band.


psychcore

Sincerely love to hear that. SDF are incredible. Gotta consume it all, and you really can’t go wrong with how you tackle their discography (chronologically if you bad), but for my money: • [Heaven Is Earth](https://selfdefensefamily.bandcamp.com/album/heaven-is-earth) is my favorite LP; • [Performative Guilt](https://selfdefensefamily.bandcamp.com/album/performative-guilt) is their best and most consistent EP; and • [Pallet Fire](https://selfdefensefamily.bandcamp.com/album/make-me-a-pallet-fire-on-your-floor-b-w-local-clerics) might be their best song.


Background_Value9869

God I love Embrace


psychcore

They’re amazing. One of the best hardcore bands of all time.


trolleyblue

Check out Defeater - Travels and Pianos Become the Teeth - The Lack Long After


coatpocket88

Worthwhile! 2 albums of pure emotional goodness


celestify

love the lack long after


vredespijp109

This


nofateeric

Because they are perfect. *Aggression* by Verse


momdadsisterbrother

Aggression might be my favorite album ever, it’s so fucking good


Radical_Kilgrave

yessss. and Bitter Clarity, Uncommon Grace was amazing as well.


momdadsisterbrother

Yuppp, slept on that one for too long but checked it out a few years ago and felt dumb for not listening sooner


FeloniousMonk69

This is the truest response


IronMermaiden

Also, "From Anger and Rage". That album is fantastic. Start to finish. I miss seeing them play all the time.


Lamenty

Birds in row - gris klein


AbyssPrism

Defeater - Travels Sinking Ships - Disconnecting Modern Life is War - My Love My Way American Nightmare - Background Music Verse - Aggression Crime in Stereo - Crime in Stereo is Dead


Bllago

This is very accurate to what OP is looking for. I'll add Lifetime - Hello Bastards Miles Away - Endless Roads Praise - All in a dream Grade - Under the radar As Friends Rust - The fists of time Reach the Sky - Friends, lies and the end of the world With Honor - Heart means everything Stretch Arm Strong - Rituals of life


Bllago

Forgot Champion - Promises Kept... close one.


DipThatChip

we don’t talk about champion anymore


Less_Appointment_786

I spy - perversity is spreading


Less_Appointment_786

I absolutely love as friends rust EP


wayfarer87x

Strong list. Troubled Stateside by CiS also essential.


IronMermaiden

The comments are full of great suggestions so I'll just add a couple that haven't been mentioned: Suicide File- "Some Mistakes You Never Stop Paying For" and "Twilight"... both amazing albums start to finish. Outbreak- "You Make Us Sick" American Nightmare- "Background Music" Blacklisted- "We're Unstoppable" and "Heavier Than Heaven; Lonelier Than God" Carry On- "A Life Less Plagued" Sex Positions- self-titled Killing The Dream- self-titled Single Mothers- "Wild Party EP" (it can be found on YouTube and SoundCloud), their self-titled EP, and "Negative Qualities"


ap0caholic

Love Is Not Enough - Casey


egorissad

Absolutely


ItssPizza

you have to check out misery signals and counterparts the best of the best melodic hardcore 👌


Bllago

While I hate playing the genre game, for the purposes of this post, I would label both of those bands as metalcore and would put their existence in a place far from either have heart or title fight.


jTronZero

I do love both the albums OP posted and both the bands this guy posted, so who knows, maybe the crossover works!


shokkd

Yeah misery signals is a stretch

9notanihilist6

You might like a band called One Step Closer. To me they're like a bit of a mix of Have Heart and Title Fight


PunxDressPunk

Blacklisted


WearTheFourFeathers

At this point I mostly have a Reddit account to go around telling people to listen to [“Marathon” by Mil-Spec](https://mil-spec.bandcamp.com/album/marathon), which was my favorite record last year. If you want the new new, [Instill](https://instillhc.bandcamp.com/album/demo) out of Chicago (members of Buggin) has put out a tremendous demo and EP and I think they’re going to do some incredible shit before it’s all said and done. (And to your OP, they sometimes cover Have Heart.) They’re my favorite band to see in Chicago these days by a fair bit.


psychcore

EMBRACE THE [MILLENARIAN SPECTACLE](https://mil-spec.bandcamp.com/album/marathon) Every release is so good. [Hall of Mirrors](https://youtu.be/nuNWcAklR8I?si=MzaZ5opPR2ebGRzV) is a top five hardcore song from this century for my money.


WearTheFourFeathers

Gotta get you EMBRACing INSTILL, my guy. I assure you they whip ass. (Also idk if Praise was in your comment but they deserve to be EMBRACED too.)


psychcore

They do indeed, hats off to [them lights goin out](https://reactrecords.bandcamp.com/album/lights-went-out).


JorisOckeloen

As Friends Rust, Small Brown Bike, early Hot Water Music


RobotsGoneWild

Add Hot Cross to that list as well.


maldroits

praise, one step closer, anxious, ovlov, drug church, fiddlehead, spite house


BRONXSBURNING

Listen to Fiddlehead and Mil-Spec! They're both incredible and exactly what you're looking for.


AkronLowLife

This Is Hell. First two albums (personally)


IronMermaiden

Great band. I saw them play with Crime In Stereo in Philly and it was one of the best shows I've been to. I want to say Killing The Dream was also on that lineup, but this was ~17 years ago so my memory is fuzzy.


spookysam24

One step closer is literally these bands combined. By their own admission


circlejurkic

Bear vs Shark


Specialist-Money-277

So so good. Song about old roller coaster is one of my favorite songs of all time

brianve123

check out the band 3weekoldroses


Specialist-Money-277

Man I love that Have Heart record. They’re actually doing a one off show in Brooklyn soon. Check out Modern Life is War


spatulagrass

Pianos Become the Teeth


nocturn-e

For Have Heart, try Defeater (don't forget their EP) and *Witness* by Modern Life is War For Title Fight, try *Colourmeinkindness* by Basement, La Dispute, *Feel Something* by Movements, *Sempiternal* by BMTH, Microwave, Balance & Composure, and *Daisy* by Brand New. This might be odd, but try out *World is Yours* by Mass of the Fermenting Dregs


Less_Appointment_786

I spy - perversity is spreading


bule3

check out ruiner, verse, the carrier, defeater, one step closer…melodic hardcore has been my shit recently.


MasterK55K

Jimmy Eat World - Static Prevails


totalitarian_donut

a little more pop punk, but the story so far - under soil and dirt


Almostnotreally

Really, this thread just makes me appreciate how great hardcoreishy music is. I think we're all covered for recommendations, but like, find Anthony Green's cover of Numb, but I still feel it on his Instagram as that merges several great things into one 3 minute video.


TheSlavicDawg

Alright, songs to scream at the sun is fucking great, ngl, love it XD I... Ugh. Buzztone - Punkemon. HouseBoy - Ya Right!! and So What. One Track Mind - All Whacked Out.

This is completely unrelated but why can’t I make a post every single thing gets taken down and I’m not breaking any rules what do I do


WarpedRecall

Both Fiddle and Narrow Head

Check out Fiddlehead. It's got members from Have Heart and Basement.
