[_pH_]

Minor Threat - Dag Nasty - Fugazi

And Embrace.

And Teen Idles. And Evens. And Egg Hunt. And Rites Of Spring. And High Back Chairs. And probably a thousand more. And if we're doing Dag Nasty too then we can add All (courtesy of Dave Smalley) which leads us to the Descendents

 

[_pH_]

Discharge (awesomest 80s punk band) > Discharge (godawful cock metal shite) > Discharge (so-so punk band)

Yeah, it gets complex
Someone should do a punk family trees book, like the rock one Pete Frame did

lol, yeah that was a low phase in the mid 80s with some punk bands changing their sound and image in the quest for more commercial success , i don`t blame `em though.
Although TSOL did some amazing tracks on their more mainstream 1986 LP `Revenge`

Just looking at the one on the inside covers of the vinyl edition of The Damned's "Light at the End of the TUnnel" best-of is enough to give you a headache.

That'd be cool.

Complex as fuckery, but cool.

[trevhagl]

Jon Moss wasn't in the Clash, was he.

Yes, for about a month between Terry Chimes (before he stopped doing his on-again, off-again routine) and Topper Headon.

 

[ViolentPanda]

McGeogh was in the Banshees for a bit too wasn't he?

A long "bit", that was.

Some good, some bad, some absolutely wank.

yes trev, it would be so much better if they'd all stayed in their original bands churning out the same formulaic stuff year on year rather than expanding their musical horizons

Some were into punk because they were into breaking barriers and reclaiming music for the people and forging uncharted territory (a little pompous perhaps, but you know what i mean).

Some were just in it cos it was fashionable and inevitably end up in new romantic bands

 

[_pH_]

how about:

The Stupids (late 80s Ipswich based skatepunk) -> Klute (noughties D'n'B/Dubstep)

and back to The Stupids recently, yay!

 

[_pH_]

Yeah, true that.

(incestuous, these punk chaps, eh?)

I remain to be convinced there were ever more than about 15 people in all the bands on Dischord; they just swapped around a lot.

 

[Clint Iguana]

2000 dirty squatters (crusty, anracho, dog on a string, special brew punks on a bus) >>>>>>>>>>>>> Dead Silence (scary dark drum and bass)
