recommend some good new punk rock

[TheHoodedClaw]

Hey Trev, have you listened to much US hardcore? There's lots of good stuff there if you're looking for something new (well, old) to listen to. You should download the Black Flag, The Germs and Minor Threat discographies for starters as well as The Dead Kennedys and Husker Du.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Yeah, to be honest most recent punk is MOR I reckon. Its all shit now really isnt it.

I like these guys.

Heard The Shocks from Berlin? Great live '77 style band.

I've got the LP, it's ok but not quite classic, i struggle with bands who sing in their own language cos many sound alike and i like to hear what they're singing...

mind you when they DO sing in English some of the translations are frightening - take The Ruckers from Germany - great music but the chorus of one song goes -

"Ruckers - knuckle shuffle!!"

someone obviously is having a laugh

I liked Black Flag but after "Damaged" they were boring. DK's were great until after the 1st LP, Germs were totally overrated, Husker Du had some good songs, never liked Minor Threat at all..."just a noise" as Alan would say

On the whole i thought USHC wasn't a patch on the original punk explosion

 

[trevhagl]

Punk is now such a staid genre term i very much doubt you'd find any bands who consider themselves 'punk' either exciting or original.

where-as if you like the more dirgey rudimentary peni/amebix/fallout you might like some of the more 'rock' stuff Ramleh do ('say fuck' etc) or even Brainbombs or BodyChoke.

or if you liked the more intense, rather than boring thrashy, antisect stuff you'd probably like Bardot Pond. (check out 'Endurance' for total brainmelting heaviness)

Both of whom have been around for decades but as they are not 'punk' bands you may not have ever come across them.

Probably none of these - i like anthems!!

 

[trevhagl]

thanks to you all for the links but i guess i'll have to try later cos it's refusing to boot up ANY of em....i'm surprised how many Urbaners are in bands though!!

 

[trevhagl]

one thing i did notice though is most of the bands linked look like students and in todays narrow minded music scene, what passes for punk, i can usually know what they sound like before i hear em, ie a harder version of Less Than jake with metal mosh bits...

 

[trevhagl]

These are great musically but nothing groundbreaking lyrically-

Had Strawberry Blondes in my fanzine before, very energetic live but all the songs sound the same ie Clash meets Blaggers meets Rancid

Not bad, some good tunes in there, mind you all Jap singers sound pretty much alike

I've heard these are good live but can't see owt special about their music, sorta like a cross between a trendy HC band and Poison Idea

 

[damnhippie]

oh for fuck's sake

 

[october_lost]

The King Blues
Sonic Boom Six
Suicide Pact
R.A.M.B.O.
Witch Hunt

Theres lots of good foreign language stuff out there.

Brigada Flores Magon. fr
Jeunesse Apatride. fr
Sin Dios. esp
Los Muertos De Cristo. esp
What We Feel. rus

 

[creak]

The Infested

Check 'The Right to Die' and 'Discipline', especially. IMO, there are plenty of better songs on their album though.

 

[Refused as fuck]

Sin Dios are brilliant.

 

[chico enrico]

don't worry, i'm sure oi polloi will be releasing another 'greatest hits' LP soon

 

[wavey davey]

Dont know if these count as punk or metal, or rock or whatever, but they are local to me and are pretty good fun live.

The Smoking Hearts

Can't get away with the trendy kind of punk that copies later Leatherface i'm afraid...
You me...are ok i guess

Strange band, they keep threatening to be great but most LPs are boring shout shout metal crap. "Mind Yer Bollocks" is great but rest of ep forgettable, for example

 

[chico enrico]

i love that "chumbawamba - you're shit" song they did on the last album that sounds a bit like Peni's "rotten to the core".

then the 'metal' influence crept into punk that was the end of it as far as i was concerned.

still loads of fucking brilliant stuff available for download if you trawl the net though - six minute war, fallout, the rondos, snipers, part one, eratics, sinyx, verbal warning, early apostles, early ex...........

stuff like that is what punk is about to me. no rock & roll or metal sounding shite.

 

[Refused as fuck]

This is pointless, bagle. The only bands you're going to like are the ones you already know.
