Therapy? - Screamager
Anyone who was a mildly disillusioned mid nineties teenager will recognise this one. For a supposedly metal outfit, Therapy? had a very keen ear for a pop hook. You don't get much better on the teenage angst front than "I've got nothing to do, but hang around and get screwed up on you". There's an interesting strand running through Northern Irish music, where you have bands taking hard aggressive rock music and presenting it in melodic, commercial ways. Obviously Therapy? are an example if this but you could also apply it to Ash and the Undertones.
