Punk Rock Thread

Ok, where are the fans of old school hardcore/punk rock? What are you jamming now days? What good shows have you seen lately?

I just saw the Adolescents last week (second time) and Sick of it All are coming to town later this month (3rd time to see them)

Show before that was a few months back, Left over Crack.

So what are you old school guys up to now days?

nklenchik · January 15th, 2011, 05:39 AM

If you like The Adolescents, check out The Offspring or Sum 41

mikedt · January 16th, 2011, 02:49 AM

I still jamming to late 70s punk. No modern punk at all in this part of the world.

JunBringer · January 19th, 2011, 09:36 AM

NOFX still is the best thing out there IMO. Pennywise was good back in the day but I don't enough much more than Full Circle these days.

I still LOVE me some NOFX. Not often, but I still listen to older bands like the Circle Jerks, Descendents, Pistols, 7 Seconds, Misfits, and Agnostic Front.

The first Richard Hell and the Voidoids album is one of my favs. The Damned, 999, Stiff Little Fingers, all great stuff!

I hate NOFX, but there are some shining stars in the 3rd wave (90's) punk rock crowd. Pennywise, Voo Doo Glow Skulls. But overall, in that time frame, I'd take the grunge/alternative over the Greendays and NOFX any day.

Great stuff. I will add Magazine, Ramones, Sham 69, Television and X-ray Spex to that list.

I often use English language music as part of my TEFL teaching work here. Most of my middle school students know Green Day, and wanted to learn their songs. Which I thought might be a good idea, until I looked at the lyrics of songs like 'American Idiot' and 'Holiday'....not such a good idea!! I don't particularly want a load of 12 and 13 year old Mongolian kids running around the place shouting things like 'Kill all the f*gg*ts that don't agree'.

Snedd · January 24th, 2011, 03:32 PM

Saw the Damned a few years back. They had a break in the middle of the set so Sensible could do Happy Talk. Top night out!

I will add Crass and Dead Kennedys to the list.

septembergurl · February 15th, 2011, 10:05 PM

Ramones, Misfits, Dead Kennedys, Buzzcocks, Wire, Sex Pistols, the Clash ... not into pop "punk" (Offspring, Green Day, etc.)

Superbrowndude · February 23rd, 2011, 07:55 PM

Anyone down for some Chimaria or Burn the Priest

Corpus Christi, North of Brownsville, South of San Antonio, East of Laredo.

tube517 · April 9th, 2011, 01:08 AM

Lagwagon and Pennywise. I'm stuck in the 90's. Husker Du from the 80's.

DoAndroidDream? · June 16th, 2011, 07:01 PM

Some stuff...the Descendents, JFA, TSOL, Fear, Black Flag, Crucifix, Circle Jerks, Amebix, Moderat Likvidation, Rudimentary Peni, Deviated Instinct, Anti-Cimex, Hellbastard, Concrete Sox, Discharge, Disorder, English Dogs, Black Uniforms, Blown to Bits, Drop Dead, Morne, Severed Head of State, His Hero is Gone, Net Jajev SS, Dystopia, Kylesa, World Burns To Death, Hellshock, Guida ..

A mix of hardcore punk, crust and the like. Older to newer, basically, and just some random off the top of my head bands.

JunBringer · June 26th, 2011, 09:40 PM

Descendants are the shiznit.

mojo_45 · July 20th, 2011, 08:43 PM

Being a 40 something Brit ex-pat I remember The Damned, The Exploited, live at the Leicester Uni. Those were the days. One of my favourite punk albums of all time The Exploited, Lets Start A War............ Anyone for Psychobilly!! The Meteors, Guana Batz, I got 'em all!!!!!!!

NOLA_Droid · July 31st, 2011, 01:17 PM

Descendants, Lagwagon, Face to Face, etc.. Old school I would say the Clash, Ramones, Sex Pistols, and The Damned. On other fronts there is always The Dropkick Murphys, Bouncing Souls, Social D, and The Street Dogs.

For Shits and giggles there is always Me First And The Gimme Gimmes!

Bedroid · August 1st, 2011, 08:58 AM

Wipers. I just foud out about their music recently and I could not believe I missed out on that. First I thought, just another Ramones copycat, but there is so much more to their music.

9to5cynic · August 21st, 2011, 11:55 PM

Misfits, Descendents, DK, Adolescents, Ramones, The Pogues, NOFX, Minor Threat, just to name some.

Really digging arrogant sons of bitches if your into ska/punk.

karadotcollett · August 24th, 2011, 09:14 AM

just came in to say BANE

9to5cynic · August 24th, 2011, 08:45 PM

Operation Ivy of course. Can't forget them. Really like And Out Come the Wolves by rancid, though their last album kinda sucked.

silvertone1481 · August 28th, 2011, 01:05 PM

Johnny Thunders & the Heartbreakers "LAMF" is my favorite...

Damned and Exploited back in the day, that would have been an amazing show! Let's Start a War, was a good one, right up there with Punks not Dead and Horror Epics.

Psychobilly, I've got to go with Reverend Horton Heat, who happens to have grown up in the city I live in.

Yes, add to that NY scene Television.

Surprised no one has mentioned Iggy and the Stooges.

Aside from a lot of the crust stuff, I'm down what all that.

Wipers were good, I really like their 1st album. On the topic of bands Nirvana covered, ever jam Meat Puppets? They rank pretty high on my list.

iggy and punk aren't words i'd normally use in the same context

i'm surprised no one has mentioned bad religion - suffer is a great album

i also like me some ramones and rocket from the crypt occasionally, tho' i'm usually more of a metalhead (a lot of which does have much influence from punk; namely anthrax, carcass, terrorizer etc.)

9to5cynic · October 10th, 2011, 10:05 PM

Yeah, I'm pretty big on Bad Religion.

robomcbobo · March 18th, 2012, 06:36 PM

check out Four undercover kings, we can be found on facebook, myspace and youtube. punk rock/rock and roll from cambridge UK.

linuxrich · March 18th, 2012, 06:46 PM

I've seen SLF a couple of times in recent years. Still awesome! I've got The Clash, Sex Pistols, Souxie and the Banshees etc. in my music collection. Wearing a Ramones t-shirt as I type this...

saptech · March 21st, 2012, 04:59 AM

How can you guys forget about The New York Dolls, Personality Crisis!

breadnatty08 · March 22nd, 2012, 11:27 AM

I was in a punk band in high school. Played drums.
We were mostly into political punk.
A lot of great bands in the Boston area.
Favorites like Toxic Narcotic and The Unseen. Don't listen to much anymore. Mostly indie bands at this point.

9to5cynic · March 24th, 2012, 11:05 PM

Dillinger Four.

Mayhem · May 4th, 2012, 07:31 PM

I could never convince myself to listen to the Sex Pistols. Johnny Rotten came across more as a spoiled child than the front man for a punk band.

Dead Kennedys wins in my book.

argedion · May 4th, 2012, 09:50 PM

hmmmm interesting no one has mentioned Black Flag! I was big into them and of course DK, Circle Jerks, and X. X though was more alternative it just wasn't a "Label" then

argedion · May 4th, 2012, 09:57 PM

I listen to a bit of all of it just no RAP. Never been a big fan of that.

X was a great punk band.
