Stop being force-fed melodic hardcore and try a bite of some real hardcore

A Wayward Heart - A Wayward Heart EP
A Wayward Heart bring back that thing a lot of us used to call “emo” before the word came to mean something else. I’m talking Spill Canvas, Early November, and The Evan Anthem, especially their acoustic songs. A fine start for a young band.
Divide the Sea - Man
Some good southern metal with a banjo hear and there

Darkroom - Stay Here With Me (For Better or for Worse)
Darkroom is a true indie band, releasing their sophomore album on their own once again. Stay Here With Me... is an album worth owning if you enjoy your music laced with beautiful sounds from trumpets, strings, pianos, and a xylophone behind a powerful vocal effort. Need something to brighten your day? Darkoom is the answer.

Fun shoegaze/surf pop from Ohio.

Destroy Nate Allen - Perfect Recipe for a Smile
Destroy Nate Allen show a ton of potential on this album, but it is only fully realized on “Loving You” and “White Flag.” Yet when they hit it on these tracks, their acoustic sound rocks as hard as any punk band.

Shapes Stars Make - These Mountains Are Safe
Shapes Stars Make are a three piece band that some may call indie rock and others may say it's post-rock. No matter the label, the music is what's important. Just pop in their second album and right away you'll find it's impossible not to be moved on some level.
