You can't really go wrong with any of mewithoutYou's albums. The first, "A to B Life", is a more post-hardcore album, while their latest effort, "Brother, Sister" is a more indie-rock oriented album.

Genres: Metal, Southern Rock
Key Songs: From The Mouth Of Gath Comes Terror, Temptation Come My Way
For Fans Of: Maylene and the Sons of Disaster

Notes:
If you can, go to a live show. The energy level is incredible. Both albums are really good, but their latest effort, "Temptation Come My Way" is far less technical than their debut release, "A Chorus Of Obliteration".

This is probably one of the tightest bands I've heard. I really hope their music doesn't go downhill now that they are gaining some serious popularity. They also have the best live show I have ever seen.

Name: The Chariot
Genres: Hardcore, Noisecore, Metalcore
Key Songs: Phil Cosby, Die Interviewer
For Fans Of: Norma Jean, Underoath

Notes:
The Chariot can best be described as chaotic noise. The first album, "Everything Is Alive, Everything Is Breathing, Nothing Is Dead and Nothing Is Bleeding" has a raw sound to it, while the "Unsung EP" is more produced. Both are good choices.

For Fans Of: Norma Jean, The Showdown, Anything Country

Notes:
It's hard to corner Maylene into one genre. The best way to describe them is: take johnny cash, put him in some tight pants and vans, give him some crazy long locks, a flying v and some KFC.
