I'm looking for some tips on potential bands to listen too. Currently I am into the likes of Tool, a perfect circle, blue october, ffaf, in flames. I like something with melody and i guess a touch of emo to it :).. Cheers.

Have you try using Last.FM? On the front page you can enter a band name and it will come back with a list of similar bands. For example, searching for "In Flames" yielded Children of Bodom and Arch Enemy. Both of which I can vouch for as being brilliant bands.

Coheed and Cambria seem to fit the bill perfectly, they're fairly emo and fairly progressive so seem to be what your looking for

Have you tried Porcupine Tree? Their new album is superb as is their back catalogue.

Heres the title track of their new album "Fear Of A Blank Planet".

Probably unlikely that you're not a fan already, but Alice in Chains could be along the lines of what you're looking for.

If your going to try Alice in Chains go for Dirt first, its kind of depressing but still very good.

One band I seriously recommend, especially if you want something with a lot of melody, is Evergrey:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89giDpJfbVM

Get the album "Recreation Day" which is easily their best, in my opinion.

Here you go mate. Got plenty of bands to recommend you that, while some being pretty heavy, have all leaned toward the "emo" end of the spectrum at one time or another.

The Fall Of Troy
Chiodos
Thrice
Glassjaw
Alexisonfire
The Receiving End Of Sirens
Finch
The Bled (def not emo, but I know scene kids love 'em)
Fear Before The March Of Flames
The Sleeping
A Wilhelm Scream (again, not emo. rather posthardcore. but still)
From First To Last
The Future
Saosin
The Sound Of Animals Fighting
Heavy Heavy Low Low
Senses Fail

Off the top of my head that's all I got right now...enjoy
