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., as well as groups such as Big Black and Jawbox that stuck closer to post-hardcore's noise rock roots.
