Up the punks
E. Spaceman:
--- Quote from: KharBevNor ---So, I've been listening to a lot of punk and punk type stuff (new wave, psychobilly etc.) recently, and by that I mean bands like Cock Sparrer, New Model Army, The Anti-Nowhere League, Tenpole Tudor, The Undertones, Stiff Little Fingers, The Meteors, old John Otway, Dead Kennedies, Ian Dury & The Blockheads, X-Ray Spex, The Vandals, The Misfits etc. etc.

I just listened to that Cock Sparrer track you put in the Forced Listening thread (Ill wait to see if someone else reviews it though) and I loved it. That's the kind of music I think of when someone says punk.
I love some of the others on everyones list but othersI've never head, that has to change.
Anyway, most of the ones I like have been said but I believe no one said
Richard Hell & the Voidoids
Borondir:
In general I don't really enjoy punk, but recently I've been falling in love with psychobilly in the form of Tiger Army. I also love folksy punk bands like Flogging Molly and Gogol Bordello.
Also, if I'm in the mood, a song or two from Alkaline Trio, Anti-Flag, the Dead Kennedy's or even...gasp...AFI can be fun.
Evilpopsicleguy:
I just picked up the (new?) Against Me! album, Searching For A Former Clarity the other day. it's reallly freaking good. definitely the best Punk album I've listened to this year. in the past they've been labelled as emo, or just plain screechy and annoying, but this album is the apitimy of punk. it even has a small western influence to it (not quite country, just very...twangy...it's a good thing.) seriously, check it out if at all possible.
ImRonBurgundy?:
i've never heard anyone call Against Me! emo. their music doesn't even vaguely resemble emo.
P.S.- "epitome"
The extra letter:
--- Quote from: KharBevNor ---Man, has anyone else here actually heard New Model Army? They are brilliant. They skirt punk, post-punk, folk and goth. Very melodic. Kinda like The Levellers meets The Clash with a dash of Sisters of Mercy. Very good stuff, and also (this is how I found them) one of the major non-metal influences on Skyclad.

I love New Model Army. I've just managed to find a best of + live CD thing, but damnit I love them lots. I came into this thread to go "BOO RAH, NEW MODEL ARMY! BOO RAH HURRAH!"
