Give me some punk suggestions. Bands, songs, whatever.

Punk bands I like...

-Dillinger Four

-Andrew Jackson Jihad

-Stiff Little Fingers

-The Queers

- Leftover Crack

- Dead Milkmen

- Dead Kennedys

Also I could use some song suggestions for some obvious one like Melvins, Ramones, and The Clash.

Rocket from the Crypt.

I'd just pick up the albums Houdini, Stoner Witch (Melvins), Rocket to Russia, Ramones (Ramones of course), Combat Rock, and Give 'Em Enough Rope (The Clash)

Maybe London Calling by The Clash too.

First of all, Jawbreaker. Go find 24 Hour Revenge Therapy RIGHT NOW.

Anyway, I don't listen to much punk, but I would suggest Minor Threat, Johnny Hobo & the Freight Trains, and Mexican Power Authority.

I actually specifically avoided american hardcore because I knew Jens or Tommy would come along and rack out a more complete and nuanced list than I am personally capable of off the top of my head.

I like threads like this because they make me rack my music brain and remember stuff I might not have listened to for a while, like.

I like this thread very much, It's lacking one or two things though. Unless it isn't and I just missed them, I broke the shit out of my arm and I'm on a fair amount of painkillers so this is highly possible.

The Dicks - I love Gary Floyd so, so much.
Stiff Little Fingers - One of the best things anyone ever did with an electric guitar.
Los Crudos - If we're bringing in hardcore we can't leave Martin Sorrondeguy out.
The Ergs! - Best pop punk band of recent years.

"Funhouse" by The Stooges.

The Riot Before
The Lawrence Arms
Methadones
The Draft/Hot Water Music
seconding Cock Sparrer
The Briggs
Angelic Upstarts
Dead To Me's new album is pretty badass.
The Sidekicks

(pretty much check out everyone on Red Scare Industries)

Tommy's right. "Singles Going Steady" is pretty much a mandatory album for EVERYONE EVER.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #18 on:** 16 Nov 2009, 08:52 »

See Tommy, that is quite a nice list, except that it isn't really related to the OP at all and half of it is post-punk and new wave. Devo are punk only in the sense that Venom are a rock 'n roll band. I mean, partly I avoided post-punk and new wave because you start then getting into this ever broadening definition of punk and three posts down the line you're recommending the dude listen to Throbbing Gristle, early Bathory and All Aboute Eve.

I mean like, I tried to keep my suggestions fairly relevant. For example his liking of Stiff Little Fingers suggests 999 and The Undertones, whilst Leftover Crack suggests crust classics like Axegrinder and Amebix. Also you have that post in a file somewhere don't you?

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #19 on:** 16 Nov 2009, 11:30 »

the classics seem to have been well and truly covered so here's something new that I don't think got mentioned yet

^ this guy has the right idea!!!

i'd also add Banner Pilot, The Menzingers, The Falcon, Cobra Skulls, The Arteries, Avail, Lifetime and Cadillac Blindside. and i'll second whoever recommended Rocket from the Crypt.

Also, the bands listed in the OP are mostly pretty lame so it was an attempt to turn him onto something better.

...except Dead Milkmen....right? RIGHT?!?!?

OH GOD PLEASE AGREE WITH ME

imapiratearg · « **Reply #22 on:** 16 Nov 2009, 15:06 »

Kid Dynamite

Mischief Brew
Johnny Hobo & the Freight Trains
Chris Burrows/Asking For It
Red Forty

Looks like I've got some downloading to do myself...

Quote from: Ptommydski on 16 Nov 2009, 13:12

Depends who you ask. I'd argue that all of the records I posted have a claim to being Punk and so would many writers and critics.

You'd be right to an extent but only a very broad one, I think. Elvis Costello is certainly not someone I'd choose as a representative proponent of punk, for example. Post-punk is punk only in the way ice is frozen steam. They're different things.

Also I think it is kinda dickish to come into a recommendation thread and completely disregard the rules. You don't catch me going into every recommendation thread and demanding people listen to Club Moral or Diabolical Masquerade, do you?

tommy just wants everyone to have correct musical taste. but it's not incredibly far-fetched to recommend post punk bands to people who like regular punk, in my opinion.

also, this.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #26 on:** 16 Nov 2009, 19:30 »

But if we start on post-punk we will get into arguments.

Like for example I find Elvis Costello very dull and think good post-punk sounds something like this.

Pretty much. I'm not sure if Tommy is counter-trolling up there though, I am never good at these things.

spoon_of_grimbo · « **Reply #31 on:** 17 Nov 2009, 17:49 »

i've just re-visited an album i was given a promo of earlier this year - "Ghosts" by the Marked Men. definitely worth checking out - it's basically really good garage-punk with proper bubblegum-pop melodies.

a pack of wolves · « **Reply #32 on:** 17 Nov 2009, 21:30 »

Devo are a pretty useful punk recommendation in a lot of ways, since you can draw some very clear lines from them to the kind of punk bands you get on labels like 31G such as The Locust. Having said that, I totally agree that given the huge scope of punk someone just reeling off punk records they like without paying heed to the kind of punk the person asking for recommendations is interested in isn't the best approach. Correct Musical Taste isn't a legitimate reason either, since anyone rocking Dillinger Four, Stiff Little Fingers and the Dead Kennedys is in no need of a taste readjustment.

Anyway, we've left out one of the greatest punk bands of the last couple of decades and this needs redressing. I speak of course of Propagandhi. This is one of the best punk songs ever, from their second album, but they really hit their stride with their third LP Todays Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes which included glorious moments of hardcore simplicity like Fuck The Border as well as ridiculously catchy tracks such as Back To The Motor League. They're still on form these days, their latest album containing an impassioned plea against nationalism in hockey, continued dedication to the vegan jihad and a declaration of love to heavy fucking metal.

Why is everyone getting so upset about this genre thing?

De_El · « **Reply #35 on:** 18 Nov 2009, 08:16 »

It is srs bsns, and though genre is an ugly and messy thing, to certain extent it pertains to what the music actually sounds like, e.g. The Birthday Party does not sound very much like Leftover Crack.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #36 on:** 18 Nov 2009, 10:32 »

maybe not to you

De_El · « **Reply #37 on:** 18 Nov 2009, 11:28 »

I'm probably biased w/r/t that particular comparison. I've never thought Leftöver Crack is very good.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #38 on:** 18 Nov 2009, 11:44 »

well, there's your problem, right there.

we can fix it though. it'll take a few days and cost a bit more since it's kind of an awkward place to work on but i think we can do it. Just sign here.

dunno quite how i forgot this one, but i've just spun it a few mins ago, and goddamn if it isn't a fine slab of rough-around-the-edges punk rock awesomeness!!! it's like the logical middle ground between husker du and every hot water music-esque gainesville-hardcore band you've ever heard! if you know of a guy with a gruffer voice than frankie stubbs, then you're a liar and i will fight you.

If I'm reading this right, it looks like Khar says punk STOPPED sucking in '77, which predates 1982 by five years.

I think veep might be implying that the first wave of British punk is kinda meh, and that things only got really awesome with the UK82 second wave of punk, oi and proto-crust, which is a position I can have some sympathy with, even if I cannot condone it.

Take your Fugazi and get out of this fucking thread NAO.
