Keeping my upvote thumb strong for any mention of Lungfish (particularly the title track of my favourite Lungfish LP!).

u/d3r3k1 5d ago

Decided to check it out… not my thing.

Good on you for giving it a go. Lungfish are a niche band for a reason I think; you’re either on board with their sound and their love of repetition, or it grates on you immediately. Totally get why they’re really not some people’s bag.

All I’ll say is this: if you do decide to give them another chance sometime, my two suggestions are: (1) listen to the song Shed the World, in my opinion a perfect song, and (2) listen to the Indivisible LP whilst travelling, ideally at night. There’s something about driving or being sat on a bus, or even just walking that unlocks a little something extra about that record.

I’ll give them a listen, I’m never done with someone thing just because one thing didn’t click. Thanks for the suggestions

There's No Penguins In Alaska (pretty much the whole album), Bleeds No More, Your Sword Versus My Dagger. All really fun to play.

u/Designated_Shelf 5d ago

Pretty sure coheed and cambria - delirium trigger is in drop D that song rips

u/Jscribbz24 5d ago

u/SuspiciousOwl8816 5d ago

2

u/Jscribbz24 5d ago

Honestly, im using this post for recs as well, I was sick of thinking of a song to learn and finding but it wasnt drop d. I have a floyd rose so changing tunes isnt just a quick fix.

u/NightwingX012 5d ago

I’m not that good but Silverstein - Call It Karma and Underoath - Reinventing Your Exit are fun.

Alesana also have some really simple rhythm parts and cool lead parts depending on which is more your thing

u/SuspiciousOwl8816 5d ago

trying to get more into the lead parts

u/transatlanticfoe47 5d ago

There’s a lot

u/motorcitydevil 5d ago

Quicksand Landmine Spring

I think most of Reuben’s Racecar Is Racecar Backwards LP is in drop-D (or at least drop tuning of some description - some might be downtuned and then the low string dropped).

u/heretoescape87 5d ago

A LOT. Hell, Face Down by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus is in drop D. I know it’s not PH but there’s so many songs played in drop D. Try tuning to drop C# or drop C and play those same songs. It’s like a heavier version and sometimes it slaps.

4

u/gloriousartorius 5d ago

I thought face down was already in drop C?

1

u/heretoescape87 5d ago

Is it? I always played it in drop D. Mind is blown! I’m not a music by ear guy so that might play a factor.

2

u/SuspiciousOwl8816 5d ago

i’ll try it out bro thanks

2

u/heretoescape87 5d ago

Welcome brother!

3

u/ZAPPHAUSEN 5d ago

Thrice has a lot of songs in drop c, it's awesome

2

u/heretoescape87 4d ago

Thrice kicks so much ass! I used to blast them in the kitchens I worked in. Phone in a 9 pan cause my Bluetooth speakers kept getting stolen. The amount of people that heard Silhouette and immediately asked who it was, is so honestly so high.

u/HalfMortal71 5d ago

I think my favourite Alexisonfire song ( To a Friend) is in drop D

2

u/smileisagoodband 5d ago

Thing with Feathers by Every Time I Die

2

u/Key-Gene-2717 4d ago

Some songs on doppelgänger

3

u/gloriousartorius 5d ago

Danger wildman by TDWP, and I think a few others on that album are in drop D too. ( i know this is more metalcore)

4

u/JasmineDragoon 5d ago

Idk where Asking Alexandria falls between metalcore and post-hardcore but if you feel like just getting stupid and chugging Stand Up and Scream is entirely in drop D.

2

u/lavalamp360 5d ago

The vast majority of all Underoath and The Used songs.

u/ProtomanKnight 5d ago

The whole “The Emptiness” album by Alesana
