List of post-hardcore bands

This is a list of notable musical artists who have been referred to or have had their music described as post-hardcore.

Post-hardcore is a punk rock music genre that maintains the aggression and intensity of hardcore punk but emphasizes a greater degree of creative expression initially inspired by post-punk and noise rock. The genre took shape in the mid- to late 1980s with releases by bands from cities that had established hardcore scenes, such as Fugazi from Washington, D.C.,[1] as well as groups such as Big Black and Jawbox that stuck closer to post-hardcore's noise rock roots.[1]
