I was going to make a dedicated thread on Slaughter and the Dogs, but I thought that would be rather useless on an indie-oriented board. :o
http://punkandoi.free.fr/index.htm is a site with loads of mp3s for 50 great punk and Oi! bands. Check out:
Slaughter and the Dogs
The Adicts
Blitz
Sham 69
Cock Sparrer
Cockney Rejects
Stiff Little Fingers
The Damned
-
No, check www.punkrockers.com though, they have some pop-punk stuff in USA. :)
-
^ Some Great choices there. I would add (not sure if they're on that site):
The Anti-Nowhere League
The UK Subs
Plastique Bertrand
And some more modern American punk (pretty mainstream stuff I know):
Anti-Flag
Amen
Propaghandi
Misfits
also, in the vein of the last mention, The latest Orange Goblin album is pretty damn punk, in the misfits vein.
Also, I actually kinda like the Sex Pistols. And most of the other punk bands 'everyone knows about' like The Ramones and whatnot are also worth the checking out.
-
Teasing isnt nice, James ;)
Let's not forget a little band called Seven Seconds, bucky!
-
Anti-Flag? Eeeewwww...
-
Human! Ewwwww.
No, I could not think of a witty response. What's wrong with Anti-flag? (Apart from their fans)
-
Have you heard Underground Network? It has to be one of the most irritating albums I've ever had the misfortune of listening to.
Indie Sucks, Hardline Sucks, Emo Sucks, You Suck is a classy song though.
-
Yes, it is. Also, I really liked 'Stars and Stripes' off that album.
-
I think the problem with AF is that whilst every so often they can find a song that's pretty damn cool ( the songs Underground Network springs to mind, as does 911 For Peace), most of the stuff they do is kinda..... crap.
Ah well. At least they're not Simple Plan....
-
Anyway, yahr, I did mention some other bands.
And going back to the first post, Cock Sparrer, The Damned and Stiff Little Fingers are particularly good.
-
SLF4LIFE

I don't think that site has anything by Seven Seconds. It's a site of 50 bands, this one guy's "jukebox."
He was teasing? Oh well, then I'm glad I didn't go into asshole mode over that Sum 41 remark. :D
EDIT: Anti Nowhere League is great too. I have a few songs of theirs, "So What" and "We Are the League" are good. And, if anyone goes to punkrockers.com, check out TSOL. How I loves them.
-
Well, they should be. Ah, the good old days when Kevin Seconds was still straight edge and made punk rock that resembled a kick in the nuts...except in the good way. Poor choice of life style, but great music. (please no one yell at me for not being straight edge, its a poor life style for ME).
PS Anti-Flag = awesome
-
...I really can't think of a good way to get kicked in the nuts.
-
UK Subs make me laugh, mainly because they tour nearly every week?! (It seems) and you can tell whenever they're playing because the 30+ year old punks come out of hiding with their 2 metre lip gagues and silly haircuts.
-
^ Don't diss on the first wavers, bucko! ;)
-
UK Subs rule...
Punk bands I love (coming from all branches of punk. Post-punk, pop punk, etc.
Swingin Utters, Leatherface, Mr. T Experience, Dillinger Four, Bad Religion, Op Ivy, Rancid, Crass, Wire (old old old school punk), Trenchmouth (totally obscure), Against Me!, Discount, Circle Jerks, Moral Crux, Common Rider, Tiger Army, The Dicikies, The Vandals, (young) pioneers, Auntie Christ...
uh, lots.
Punk is my baby.
-
For my money, Dillinger Four are probably the best melodic punk band ever. And that cover of Sally McLennan (I'm sure that's spelt wrong, but neither 'This Shite Is Genius' nor 'Rum, Sodomy And The Lash' are to hand) even manages to top the original.
I've never had that much affection for 70s straight-up punk bands though, which explains why I rate them over most of the originators of the genre. Sham 69, X-Ray Spex, The Buzzcocks, The Ramones and The Misfits are some of the few I have time for, although I do respect a lot of them for how different what they were doing was to what had come before. Oh, and early Black Flag of course, back when Keith Morris was on vocals they were really more punk than hardcore in style.
-
Rancid got a little too mainstream for my tastes but the old stuff was good.
Pinkerton Thugs
Fugazi
The Virus
The UNseen
Devotchkas
Lower class Brats
Screeching weasel
Global threat
millencolin (fuck you i like em)
the real mckenzies
detuned and off-key
and i don't think they need be metioned, but they can't go unmentioned : Dropkick Murpheys
-
They could have done. It would have given the thread so much more class...
Now Millencolin on the other hand had some decent tunes. Patchy, certainly, but still capable of cranking out some good, fast, catchy punk when the mood took them. I might have to dig out a Punk-O-Rama in a minute, I'm getting all nostalgic. And if we're going to bring them up... Satanic Surfers anyone?
-
mmm punk-o-rama. one must tredge through the muck of what epitaph wants us to like to find the gems in those. still gottem though
-
Ahh, Epitaph. Mitch Clem's favourite whipping boy. :)
-
I dunno, 2 and 3 are pretty solid. I never bothered with any after that since most of the bands on them looked pretty bad, but those two... New Bomb Turks, Poison Idea, NOFX (I still reckon 'We Threw Gasoline...' is one of their finest moments), Bad Religion back when they were still good, Cramps, Red Aunts and a slew of bands that would probably get irritating over a whole album (Undeclinable Umbuscade for one) but sounded just peachy there. Okay, so you had to sit through the Voodoo Glow Skulls and a few other duds but there was some good stuff to be had on Epitaph back then. Not now unfortunately, although at least Anti has Tom Waits and The Locust.
-
4 was my first taste of punk, got me into dropkick murpheys (good rats)
NOFX song catchy as hell: Jaw, Knee, Music
"johnny has a problem, johnny's outa control.."
-
Lower Class Brats rock as well...
and Millencolin are certainly awesome. Pennybridge Pioneers is a great album. I love Material Boy.
Yeah, I agree about the Punk O Ramas, they did broaden my horizons in the punk genre when I was first dabbling in it. 4 was really good, and 6 as well. It sort of started going down hill after 6 though.
Compilations are a godsend I find. I have so many of them, from epitaph, new red archives, lookout records etc etc. Thats why I know so many bands that I do know.
Because you buy a compilation if you recognize a couple bands, but then you listen to all the bands on it, starting liking a bunch more, than you find compilations with the new bands you discovered on that comp and it just keeps going and going.
-
Tiger Army, The Dickies
On which subject, I suppose The Ghastly Ones, The Reverend Horton Heat and The Meteors count?
Man, that dickies song so made 'Killer Klowns From Outer Space' worthwhile.
-
Anyway, yahr, I did mention some other bands.
And going back to the first post, Cock Sparrer, The Damned and Stiff Little Fingers are particularly good.
New Rose is one of the best punk rock singles ever.
EVER.
-
ok i want everyone to aknoledke right now the amazingness of Maxwell Murder. the song was kinda catchy, but the Bass is fucking amazing!
-
Matt Freeman is a bass God...
though I heard he got diagnosed with lung cancer :(
-
Minor Threat
Voidoids
Dead Boys
Circle Jerks
-

Killer Klowns from Outer Space was an awesome movie.

Correct.

Fugazi
HOMETOWN BAND, BABEH!
Oh yeah, and...like...Oi? How would you describe...Oi? Does it make old men cry? :P
-
Punk is good. Oi is not.
-
Oh god, please let's not get into yet another 'A is good, B is shite' argument. They're dumb. How about instead of bitching about oi we talk about some awesome punk bands. So... how fucking good is that Against Me! acoustic 7" eh?
-
mmm punk-o-rama. one must tredge through the muck of what epitaph wants us to like to find the gems in those. still gottem though
Ahh, Epitaph. Mitch Clem's favourite whipping boy. :)
I LOVE YOU GUYS!
Lord, Epitaph is honestly one of the worst punk labels out there....well, besides Vagrant, Vicotry, Fearless, Hellcat, Tooth & Nail, and Drive-Thru...Oh wow, my days of writing punk reviews are coming back....and I can feel myself being filled with murderous rage.
There are some good ones out there. Really like Asian Man, Springman, Triple Crown, TKOs alright as well. Fat has a couple of bands I like, generally, meh.
WOW, really off topic! </rant> (I promise).

Let's talk New York. DNA? James Chance?

Wow, I wanna write punk reviews! Reviewing metal, I only really have Roadrunner to bash. But oh, that is a task I will truly never tire of. Ever.
Anyway, so who likes Psychobilly?
...and yes, actually, that movie with the Klowns that kill was actually pretty bitching.
But that song was bitchinger still.

The problem with Epitaph is that they haven't signed a good band in god knows how long, and their old ones got terrible. And even at their best, Pennywise, Bad Religion and NOFX were patchy. I'll still stick up for their old stuff though.
God, don't get me started on the whole Tooth & Nail/Solid State pro-life christian bullshit. And as for Victory, well, they released One Life Crew. Nuff said. Why By The Grace of God were ever on that label I'll never understand, 'For The Love of Indie Rock' just doesn't fit on Victory at all.
For straight-up punk rocking these days, No Idea is pretty much peerless. Actually, they own most people with their back catalogue too. I mean, come on, motherfucking Radon. And I'm not even going to start on the hardcore stuff they've put out, otherwise I'll end up with a massive post just about the jaw-dropping masterwork that is 'Parasitic Skies'.
-
Hey Khar, can you give me some examples of psychobilly bands to check out? I know bands like Nekromantix, but aren't they rockabilly? Is there a difference?
Yeah, I'm new to the quiff-band thing...
-

i know nothing about hellcat other than they did Murphey's blackout.
dissappointing album. fuck hellcat.
anyone ever hear of Say 10 records? bunch of good fucks i'll tell ya
-
I sort of like Hellcat, well, from what Ive gathered from my Give Em the Boot 2 ceedee. That wasn't a bad album at all, lots of reggae/skaish stuff on it.
I love Tiger Army though, along with Necromantix, Id say they're considered rockabilly. I love their bass!
New Red Archives is(/was?) a pretty awesome label, lots of obscure bands that no ones heard of, though at least the compilation of that | have has Anti-Flag, UK subs, samiam...
I'd still listen to that ceedee constantly if it wasn't scratched to shit.
:(
I'm a bad mother.
-
lol why don't you make like a tree, and get the fuck outa here
EDIT: i don't really know why i said that, just in response to your signature
-

Dude, rockabilly is like, Elvis. Seriously. Well, that's the way I see it. Pyschobilly definitely, maybe gothabilly, though I've never quite worked out what that genre's supposed to be.
-
80s hardcore is where it's at.
Dead Kennedys, Bad Brains, Black Flag etc

And you know who just released an album on the Epitaph subsidary, Hellcat? The Unseen! And the record sucks, too. I swear, that place is like a fucking black hole for punk bands. They show up, hit the event horizon, and all of a sudden, they have extremely large amounts of mass, and develop their own fields of gravity. In layman's terms, they SUCK.
Grr. I used to really like The Unseen too. :(
-
nooo. i like the Unseen, why must they be suck-itized like so many of my childhood loves?
-
Because life hates you.
-
i suck at life...
like your face! wait... wrong thread
-
That's been done one two many times ^
-
Speaking of cheesey insults, this one kid who tries to sound smart but really isn't told me that "I have the mentality of a micron" a couple weeks ago.
Yeah.
-
This is all going into my increasingly incontravertable argument for shooting 90% of the human race into the sun.
-
we should grind up the dumb people to feed our livestock
-
/me is glad he's a vegetarian
-
Uh, Vegetarians are on my death list. See, right here between "People who put fake spoilers on their cars" and "people who don't cover their mouths when they cough"
-
Yeah, but I won't be eating animals that ate humans. Stupid ones, too. It'll make the people who eat them stupid. :o
-
no no no, you don't use the heads, that'll give em mad cow disease. we use the brains for engine lubricant and the skulls to make creepy/awesome furniture. Skin is for clothing
-
With the skulls we could really tap into the black metal market. Same with the skin, it's hard to get high-quality stuff to rebind one's copy of the Necronomicon.
-
my Book of Shadows could really use a jacket and i think baby skin is perfect
-
I want a complete bathroom set made out of the bones of the congregation of the Westboro baptist church.
-
$59.99

or just 3 easy payments of 24.99
plus shipping and handling and a standard sucker fee of 1,00 0.00 dollars
-
lol why don't you make like a tree, and get the fuck outa here
EDIT: i don't really know why i said that, just in response to your signature
OUCH! Be nice.
Funny story (well for me, anyways): My friend, who owns the best foot tall mohawk I've ever seen, and I were browsing through our local record store the other day when he came upon a cd. He picked it up and went "The Exploited, greatest hits....ew, I feel dirty".
We wrote/drew a little NN2S-esque comic about it. It roughly showed a guy picking up said cd, seeing nothing on the track listing and then having his friend tell him he wasn't holding anything....buh dum tsshh!
Sorry, now let's all go back to abnoxiously trashing labels, that was fun.
-
Sounds fine with me.
Epitaph sucks. They really suck. Since there are plenty of places you can find information on why Epitaph sucks, I won't bother to outline why, but rather focus on the intensity of Epitaph's sucking.
Epitaph sucks. Fuck Epitaph. Epitaph is a dirty blot of shit on the face of the music industry. The president of Epitaph sodomizes babies on Sunday, while killing puppies. Epitaph is a taint on punk. Not just a taint as in a stain, but literally a taint, the area between the balls and the asshole.
Now repeat that with Hellcat inserted in Epitaph's space.
EDIT: Haha, check out the first two words of the first three lines. Coincidence? No, Epitaph just sucks that hard.
-
<3 Marry me?
-
Hellcat released a Buju Banton record. Homophobic pricks. But nothing tops Tooth & Nail. I mean, they're actually linked to from the Rock For Life website. Utter, utter scum. Fuck Zao too.
Can we move onto bashing Trustkill now? This is fun!
-
<3 Marry me?
Gladly ;)
Well, now that I've trashed Epitaph, I think I'll go to work on The New Dead Kennedys. Yes, with that guy who "replaced," e.g. buttraped Jello's place.
Fuck The New Dead Kennedys. Why don't they understand that they've had their time, and now they're just a cliché, and most of their real fans are alternately laughing at them and cursing at them. Fuck East Bay Ray. He tried to sell Holiday in Cambodia to Gap. Fuck Klaus Flouride. He didn't kick Ray so hard in the nutsack that he vomited them up. Fuck D.H. Peligro. He's too cool for the New Dead Kennedys, but he doesn't get it. Fuck Jeff Penalty. No one can replace Jello.
-
Best poster ever.
-
I usually don't like a) bashing bands b) bashing anything music related but I feel all warm and tingly inside....GROUP HUG!

Jello is just as at fault as the new DKs. Whether you like it or not he did withhold royalties. The band (or at least Klaus) acknowledge that he didn't do it on purpose but he did attempt to cover it up instead of owning up. Yes they did attempt to sell Holiday in Cambodia to Levis and they were wrong to do so.
They're both equally at fault.
As for the new DK, I agree that no-one can replace Jello but DK wasn't just Jello. What made DK so amazing was the combination of Jello's lyrics and vocals and the musicianship of the other three. I know Jello doesn't want to live off nostalgia and maybe sees going back to DK stuff as admitting failure to improve upon it but in my opinion, no-one's going to make a better punk album than DK did with FFFRV or PSD. Many DK songs are still just as relevant today as they were when they were first performed and there's a large audience who never got to see them first time around.
The stupid feud that continues between Jello and the band annoys me intensely as do morons like you who blindly take sides.
-
Come on now, let's just admit it.
Music sucks.

Jesus Christ, did you read the thread? This is all just funning around, loosen up! :)

Fuck music. Music is the... ;)

I <3 the dead kennedies.
I'd also love to have skulls for flower pots.
That'd be hot.
-
I could write an essay about all the shit in this thread right now, but I'll refrain because I'm tired. A few things:
Slaughter and the Dogs are motherfucking awesome live.
Every Dead Kennedys album is awesome.
Hellcat has some good bands, like Pressure Point and Tiger Army.
I love psychobilly and punkabilly, specifically the Photon Torpedoes, Reverend Horton Heat and the Amazing Royal Crowns. The last of which is hands down one of the greatest punk bands in history.
Someone mentioned Wire. Wire is freakin' awesome.
I'm a skin, so Oi is my de-facto genre of choice.
That site had Skrewdriver. I like Skrewdriver.
I saw the word "Misfits" several times. There is no better band in history.
I hate the Unseen (if you get the reference, I will make out with you).
TKO is a great label.
Someone said Lower Class Brats too, they also own.
I'm going to see Toxic Narcotic and the Varukers next week. Toxic Narcotic are so fucking good they will melt your face and make you drink homebrewed beer and hate the entire world and rock so hard you break a bone.
-
I think Bedtime For Democracy is my favorite DK album.
BTD is the worst DK album by far.
-
Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables beats you all.
-
I've always had a big soft spot for Plastic Surgery Disasters myself, it was a bit of a seminal album for me. They're all good though, a few weak tracks here and there but never a bad release.
-
Yeah, Fresh Fruit totally owns...
though I have been meaning to pick up BFD
-
PSD is a great album, and paired with In God We Trust Inc, it's fucking awesome. My personal favourites are Moon Over Marin, Trust Your Mechanic, We've Got a Bigger Problem Now (the redux of California Uber Alles), Winnebago Warrior, and Government Flu.
-
Well Paid Scientist does it for me. The sixteen year old me heard that, looked at what he thought he wanted from life and decided that a lot of it was bullshit. Cheers Jello.
-
We've Got a Bigger Problem Now (the redux of California Uber Alles),
Don't forget our house special, it's called a Trickie Dickie Screwdriver, it's got one part Jack Daniels, two parts purple Kool-Aid, and a jigger of formaldehyde from the jar with Hitler's brain in it we got in the back storeroom.
Yeah. Fucking awesome song.
-
Or the intro to the CD:
Why are you such a stupid asshole? Would you really like to know? :D
