From Autumn to Ashes - and how I can't use searches.
 

I figured these guys would have been mentioned before... but uh, I can't search at all. I tried over and over and kept getting tons of garbage matches :)

Anyways -

Their new album, The Fiction We Live, came out relatively recently. I've been on it for a long time now, it's really the first hardcore band I've ever heard much of/liked at all. Any opinions?

I <3 them. Their older cd, Too Bad You Are Beautiful, is harder, imo, but their singing is not as good.

I can't find it! Best Buy, fye, whatever... can't find it. I'll just keep trying.

if you like that band check out Poison the Well, Rise Against & Hopes Fall

Yeah Hopesfall and PTW would be good for a FATA fan..... try Glassjaw too, they're also along the same track...

...older AFI would also work

EDIT: oh, and maybe Snapcase

New FATA sucks. Their first effort is infinitely better. They seem to be trying to hard to be liked in the new cd. Almost like they are trying to cross breed a sort of hardcore, with some emo (for the junior high and early high school crowd) with that nu metal drivel that is so popular. The first cd was a true hardcore record, and the second leaves them a shadow of their former selves. I bought it the day it came out, listened to it a little, haven't put it back in since.

2.5/5

Glassjaw is an OK band but i wouldnt consider them on the same track as FATA...

btw FATA is a good band

their singing is really off-putting to me. the screamer guy doesn't have enough bottom-end to sound convincing to me, and the "singer" sounds too whiney. musically, their stuff is decent, but rather repetative.

in the metalcore genre, i'd pick killswitch engage, blood has been shed, poison the well, glassjaw (if they "count")
