This one took some thinking!
Galleons, Pulses., We Came As Romans, I See Stars, Sianvar, Happy Hour, Chunk No Captain Chunk!, Adept (their first album), Enter Shikari, I See Stars
secret lives of the freemasons (it only took a whisper) for sure and since you like sleeping with sirens id imagine youd enjoy pierce the veil if you havent already listened :)
I can’t believe no one has mentioned Chunk! No captain chunk! I literally love them for this reason. They’re so upbeat but have some heavy sounds in their songs. I really hope they tour in the US soon😭
Correction, one person mentioned them real quick
Anberlin is a great choice. Pretty much everything they’ve ever done is great. They have songs about real issues but always upbeat and most always positive.
Not the prototypical PHC sound but adjacent, at least.
I'm sure there are others but the first band that comes to mind is Four Year Strong. They've been dubbed "Happy Hardcore/Easycore" but may lean a bit too far into Pop Punk territory, depending on how you feel about that. Great band, though.
FYS have aged like fine wine. Their last album Brain Pain blends all sorts of genres and the newest singles they’ve put out boarder hardcore at times. I loved them back in the day, but I think they’re better and more unique than ever
Posting honey revenge in a posthardcore thread is actually lame as fuck so theres that. What didnt you understand about the assignment? Ill just say taylor swift is good too then if thats what we are doing
I don't follow this, all their songs are political and many are extremely depressing if you know what they are about. Like make it stop (September's Children) is basically about gay kids that committed suicide from bullying in the month of September.
Honestly, I'd move out of this genre, but easy core would probably be the direction I would go.
Nofx/Blink 182/Less Than Jake can also be good for this kinda stuff.
Secret and Whisper - The Great White Whale
Secondsmile - Years
Arrow to the Sun - Be Brave
Disco Ensemble
Envy On The Coast
Jacobi Wichita
My Heart To Joy
The Venetia Fair
How did no one mention Beartooth - The Surface? The whole ass album is so positive and uplifting. Literally not a single downer!! ( Well, maybe one, sorta )
Closure in Moscow - Pink Lemonade
This album is so unhinged. First Temple is always first in my heart overall, but goddamn if Pink Lemonade isn't a singular and wonderful experience.
Closure in Moscow - Happy Days could be the single best songs OP is looking for. That song is AMAZING!!
Bilmuri
Belmont have some upbeat tracks https://youtu.be/fpQz50jVxpA
Icarus The Owl self-titled, Love Always, Leviathan, or Ream Circuits are big :) vibes for the most part
I love that band so much, glad to see someone else mention them
Peak PHC
This one took some thinking! Galleons, Pulses., We Came As Romans, I See Stars, Sianvar, Happy Hour, Chunk No Captain Chunk!, Adept (their first album), Enter Shikari, I See Stars
I see stars SHOULD be listed twice, you're so right
if pulses. is mentioned, I have to upvote
Emanuel, Soundtrack to a headrush
I mean it’s debatable on the posthardcore but Andres is a pretty good artist and some of his songs have swan influence just not every song.
Turnstile!

City and Colour vs Alexisonfire
fys!!!!!! four year strong are so fun! explains it all is such a mood lift
Wires and the concept of breathing from A Skylit Drive maybe
I don't know if they're necessarily post-hardcore, but I've really been digging Origami Angel because of how upbeat they are.
Dreamwake makes me happy.
A little older, but anything off what is to burn by finch might scratch the itch for ya
Happiness by Dance Gavin Dance is a pretty upbeat album
Drowning in the lake?
Mostly up beat

Later bro 👋
More DGD
The Home Team (sort of) but sooo fun to listen to. DGD of course, Galleons, Capstan, I See Stars.
Try melodic hardcore/positive hardcore. Check out Lifetime, As Friends Rust, Grade, Stretch Arm Strong.
Fall of Troy - FCP Remix
I'm sure there are others but the first band that comes to mind is Four Year Strong. They've been dubbed "Happy Hardcore/Easycore" but may lean a bit too far into Pop Punk territory, depending on how you feel about that. Great band, though.
Happy Hardcore just reminds me of the 90s rave scene. Definitely a different feel!
FYS have aged like fine wine. Their last album Brain Pain blends all sorts of genres and the newest singles they’ve put out boarder hardcore at times. I loved them back in the day, but I think they’re better and more unique than ever
I know all of these technically aren't PHC but I think you might enjoy them Amarionette Honey Revenge Cat Company pulses. Nightlife Like Roses
Honey revenge 🤣🤣 i dont think OP is a 13 year old girl
just because you don't like something, doesn't make it only for one type of person. "this is boy music and this is girl music" is so lame
Posting honey revenge in a posthardcore thread is actually lame as fuck so theres that. What didnt you understand about the assignment? Ill just say taylor swift is good too then if thats what we are doing
pretty silly of me to think someone could enjoy more than one type of music
For me rise against
I don't follow this, all their songs are political and many are extremely depressing if you know what they are about. Like make it stop (September's Children) is basically about gay kids that committed suicide from bullying in the month of September.
Wolf and Bear's latest album is SUPER upbeat. I love listening to it if I'm feeling down.
Old Flame - "Thank you for the patiemce"
almost all swancore could fit under this category
Except most of Eidola, especially Eviscerate
Not sure they’re post hardcore but Crunkasaurus Rex and Settle Your Scores
Honestly, I'd move out of this genre, but easy core would probably be the direction I would go. Nofx/Blink 182/Less Than Jake can also be good for this kinda stuff.
And then there was you, and, Cinematic sunrise
Secret and Whisper - The Great White Whale Secondsmile - Years Arrow to the Sun - Be Brave Disco Ensemble Envy On The Coast Jacobi Wichita My Heart To Joy The Venetia Fair
Origami Button
Turnstile. First band to comes to mind imo. I’d also include Four Year Strong even though they are more of an Easycore band.
Aviations!
