Acronym for the music genre "Post-Hardcore."

The Post-Hardcore genre started in the year 1980, with local Chicago bands such as "Saccharine Trust", "Naked Raygun", and "The Effigies" merging their post-punk lyrics and vocals, with hardcore melodies and sound.

Good examples of modern PHC bands include "Issues", "Dance, Gavin Dance", A Day To Remember", "Scary Kids Scaring Scary Kids."

There are bands that have been mistakenly labeled as PHC. "I See Stars", "Chunk! No Captain Chunk", Attack Attack!", Woe, Is Me" and "Asking Alexandra" area few Electrocore bands that are commonly mistaken as PHC.
"Hey have you heard that new album by Amidst the Graves Demons? Totally Post-Hardcore!"

'Aw dude, I love Attack Attack! Totally PHC!" "Nah dude. They're Electrocore."

The acronym, PHCA, stands for Pothole Capital of America and is specific to Spokane, Washington where some potholes are actually sinkholes. Unsuspecting drivers fall into the abyss only to be found by road repair workers in the summer months. Front end alignment problems are common after hitting a PHCA pothole.
"Welcome to Abtons. It's been another hard winter in the PHCA. Bring in your vehicle and we'll check your alignment for free.
