The Beastie Boys and A Day To Remember are on the same tier? Weird.

And also the Beastie Boys and...whoever that is also on that tier I've never even heard of.

I rarely listen to Reel Big Fish so I'm not sure why it's on there. Everything else checks out, but there should definitely be more bands listed.
It does seem kind of arbitrary, Fiddlehead and The Joy Formidable are just bands I was curious about due to playing fests I was attending and I only listened to a few tracks not even a full album.

Knoll is a band from Tennessee that played a small fest here while on tour, all the other bands were local (including Gnaw) and they had a KILLER set, (the final headlining band even said "Man it kind of sucks we have to follow up after that") but on record just sound like another grindcore band, not bad but they can't match their live show, common amongst the style (side note: I'd say this applies to Gnaw too.) So I haven't listened to them much or a full album either.

Try doing the "all-time" one. This one is just for the past two weeks.
Ah that explains my weird one too.

We actually both got Motion City Soundtrack on ours, lol. Tried Cap'n Jazz, wasn't my cup of tea. I'll check out the others.
Ah I missed that. I was thinking of NFG since I saw them on back to back nights!

Well then I'll also recommend Four Year Strong (opened for NFG), and Farewell Continental, (Justin from MCS' band when they were on hiatus.)

Also for more guidance why I recommended each one:

Forever Starts Today - They sound like early Paramore and the vocalist even does like Hayley a bit.
Stand Atlantic - Same but Australian
Valencia - Kind of forgotten and sadly overlooked melodic pop-punk from about 15 years ago, sound seems to be really up your alley.
The Appleseed Cast - One of my favorite bands, classic Midwest emo sound and then expanded to be more post-rock influenced, you seem to be into both. Their original name was even "December's Tragic Drive" (after a line in a Sunny Day Real Estate song.)
The Wonder Years - They're kind of the New Found Glory of this generation. All of their stuff is good although it changed a lot, they went from upbeat but cynical pop-punk to now more mature alt-rock sounding stuff, you like a lot of both sounds. Actually I should also mention Spanish Love Songs who are similar and opened for them last time I saw them.
Hit the Lights - They were one of the best bands from that wave of bands that wanted to sound like NFG and A Day To Remember.
Mayday Parade - A B-tier band from the whole Fall Out Boy/Paramore wave but very good...I'll note here that all you really need to listen to know if you'll like them is "Jamie All Over", if you don't like that you sure won't like anything else haha. If you do definitely check out the rest of the "A Lesson in Romantics" album.
Hey Mercedes - 3/4 the same band as Braid, another band from that Midwest Emo scene, but they had a more upbeat and poppy sound than Braid which is why I went with them, especially if you aren't into Cap'n Jazz.
Transit - They were another sort of melodic pop-punk/indie rock band from that scene about ten years ago, and one of the best. Sadly broken up and unlikely to reunite as the guitarist/backing vocalist tragically committed suicide a few years ago...but if you like them I'll also recommend his side project Misser.
Real Friends - I've seen them open for The Wonder Years and Mayday Parade and in the same vein, also namedrop Jimmy Eat World in one song.
Fireworks - Close friends with The Wonder Years and I've seen them with them as well.
Rainer Maria - Really awesome 90s Midwest emo, their sound shifted though so you may prefer their later stuff to the early stuff which was pretty rough and played up the emo tropes. "Look Now, Look Again" and "A Better Version of Me" are probably the best albums that hit that intersection. Their later ones were good, as one as their post-reunion self-titled one, but that one does have a bit of a different sound.
