Good punk bands
Can anyone recomend me some good punk bands?
|
Sublime! It's also reggae xD
and Leftover crack and the Damned |
Dropkick Murphys are fun; Celt-punkish, as are the Real MacKenzies, the Tossers, and Flatfoot 56. I love Sick of It All, very old school NY Punk, still rocking... the HorrorPops are a cute Punk-a-Billy band...
|
I second Sick of It All and the Damned.
Also: Dead Kennedys, the Distillers, the Buzzcocks, the Saints, Rudimentary Peni, Black Flag, Anti-Flag, the Adicts, the Clash, Amebix, and All Gone Dead (although they're often called deathrock for some reason). That's all I got for now. |
Citizen Fish, the Adverts, Buzzcocks, GBH, Minor Threat, Wire
|
Good goth again
Oh, this is a punk thread. The list, while I'm not too fond of raw punk, shall give you: Heh...well, in American a friend had a Hardcore (YES, NOT POST-HARDCORE. BELIEVE ME) band and in his collection I found: The Originals Sex Pistols Ramones The Clash The Adverts THE DAMNED!!! (I love you Cicero :D) Sublime Buzzcocks Sircle Jerks The The The Dead Boys blahblahblah Post-Punk Joy Division Human League Oingo Boingo(WTF d00d) Killing Joke The JAM!!! (Ryhms with DAMNED) Adam and the Ants Public Image Lt. Suicide Magazine Jesus and Mary Chain HorrorPunk The Misfits TSOL (see also k0re) Samhain Blitzkid 45 Grave All Gone Dead (Yeah, but so were the Misfits, but styisically they were too raw) Astrovamps (shut up!!! :() The Other Plan 9 The EverDead Frankenstein Dragqueens from Planet 13 k0re Dead Kennedeys SUBHUMANS!!!!

But this is what I have for the moment. Goth Forever Goth Forever Goth Forever |
There's also Television, who are sometimes classified as art-rock, as well as 999. I would say Jawbreaker, because I simply associate them with what is Punk, but they're typically classified as emo.

Sorry for the double-post, but I forgot to mention one more: Black Flag. |
This thread annoys me.

They WERE punk. not anymore, though. ><] Against All Authority Argy Bargy Cheap Sex Crass Social Distortion Big Black Generation X I can't remember a lot of them right now, though.

Okay some off beat choices to add:
Adam and the Antz Ultravox! The Slits Rites of Spring Bikini Kill The Soviettes Be Your Own Pet The Victorian English Gentlemen's Club |

Go with The Adicts, the Bad Brains, and Rudimentary Peni.
|
>< Operation Ivy is great and all, but I'm talking about the genre o_o
It's basically streetpunk. |

NUH UH.
Music for the lower class? That's what punk is all about. It's also done away with the upper and middle class punk shit like what Bad Religion has done, where you need a dictionary to listen to them. Also a lot of oi bands want to 'glorify the old days' of punk, and bring back that sound that originally made punk what it is, while keeping the logical evolutions, such as growling voices and distorted guitars, and all that shit. |

From a Brit perspective the mid to late 70's brought about growing numbers of young people from Working Class and Lower Middle Class backgrounds rejecting the oppressive cultural norms of 'class' and heading off to Art-College, Polytechnics and University, due to the availability of fully financed higher and further education. Gone was the stigma as my Father put it, that 'Going to University would be a betrayal of my Class'. I can never see Punk as a celebration of underclass, rather as a rejection of underclass and its macho culture. Yes there was Anger. But also a desire to subvert. These days if you want music that reflects those who don't even have these opportunities then try Dubstep. As for the Working Class. I am the only person without a trade in my family. I am the only one who went to university. I am the only professional. And of course I earn the least out of all of them. Should have been a sparky like my dad. |
Misfits i cannot overly reccomend if your looking into something more gothic/horror and what the hell why not Iggy Pop "The Godfarther of Punk"=]
|
I despise Adam and the Ants. :P
art-punk has always struck me as punk at it's most pretentious, to be honest. >< |

So I guess you don't like early Deathrock/Batcave Goth stuff then much either. Talking to folks before from the states I have realised that in the US Art-school wasn't the same mixing pot of people from different backgrounds, and didn't fulfil the same role as an escape from drudgery for folks with no formal academic qualifications. I think Brit-punk and Artschool were pretty much intertwined, (http://www.newstatesman.com/200706180030) although plenty of folks like Warsaw (later Joy Division) were from solid working class backgrounds. |
I like Christian Death, but that's about it. :P
American hardcore varies a lot. Most of it's pretty boring, though. |
The first 2 VIBRATOR albums... "Pure Mania" & "V2"
The first WIRE album... "Pink Flag" The first 2 SAINTS albums.... "(I'm) Stranded" & "Eternally Yours" |
