Pop punk stuff? anyone?

--- Quote from: 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.

If you're looking for pop-punk, I've also gotta recommend a little band called The Methadone. They play some really fun stuff. I've totally gotta back up The Larry Arms and Alkaline Trio, definately favourites in my book.

I like me some Mr. T Experience. I first heard them on this "Short Music for Short People" comp that Fat Wreck Chords did and ended it with seeing them in Berkeley maybe a year ago.
Good stuff for fun.

--- Quote from: 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.

I never understood that band. They work in theory, in that they're a clever parody of punk as a genre, but they also kind of suck; their singer is really annoying and they don't have enough intensity to compensate for not knowing how to play. I'll concede that they do have a distinctive sound, but that sound is "bad."

The musicianship of the Dead Milkmen is actually pretty high. Dave Blood was a fantastic bassist.
At their best they can make me singalong or giggle like a schoolgirl.

Its happy educational sing-along punk.

This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb are brilliant but I've always thought of them as folk-punk.
