Fun Stuff > BAND
Pop punk stuff? anyone?
sketchyjoe:
People misclassify bands as pop-punk too often. I think of it as punk with pop-hooks rather than punk-influenced guitar pop.
There are some classic pop-punk bands like The Buzzcocks, The Adicts or The Undertones. You could even make a good argument for calling the Ramones pop-punk as all they did was play speeded-up 60s pop songs.
I really like ALkaline Trio though I wasn't a big fan of Crimson. The Bouncing Souls are a great pop-punk band and True Believers is probably the greatest pop-punk song ever written.
Other good bands in the genre include The Descendents, The Max LEvine Ensemble, The Bananas, Groovie Ghoulies, THe Lawrence Arms, The Queers, The Soviettes and THe Vandals.

Does anyone like Jackson? I picked up their EP for about $1 a while ago, and I think they have some really great pop hooks.

I f'ing love the Soviettes.
I'd consider the Ramones as more of pop-punk, but I don't really like the Ramones in the first place.

I'm old, that stuff is more my speed. Vandals roxu!
What about Dead Milkmen, we aren't forgetting them, are we?
sketchyjoe:
The Dead Milkmen are fantastic. Beezlebubba is one of my favourite albums. They've got such a distinctive sound though I've never really labelled them pop-punk.
