Punk.

Get yourself some agent orange, consumed, apocalypse hoboken, avail and some tiger army. Altho tiger army are more rockabilly type thing.

Pssh. Everyone cool who likes punk likes MCR and AFI. Post-Hardcore type shit has always been tossed in with Punk.

And you make me chuckle. He's being a cock for the sake of it, yet you're playing with sub-genres in a topic about music you already claimed not to like much. It doesn't really matter how punk, or not punk, those bands are. I listed them because I am looking for new bands, and I like those bands.

I've never met any of these people.

As for suggestions, where can I start? There's a plethora of great punk out there, based out of so many different regions. From Austrailia you can check out the Saints, X, or the Psycho Surgeons. From the UK you can check the obvious bands out or Sham 69, Cockney Rejects, UK Subs, Blitz, and Subway Sect. From the USA (the greatest country for punk, bar none) you can look into hardcore shit like Gang Green, The Freeze, Wasted Youth, Code of Honor, Toxic Reasons, Crucifix, or Government Issue. If hardcore isn't your thing than maybe you prefer 77 style like the Dead Boys, Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers, or Richard Hell and the Voidoids. If you want something that is quirky or eclectic look into Geza-X, Black Randy and the Metrosquad, The Screamers, or Feederz.

I can rattle off many more bands if any of them tickle your fancy and you want more similar groups.

As for the whole "this is punk, this isn't punk" arguement, who gives a shit? There is a lot of shit that I wouldn't consider to be punk rock, based on my experiences and what I listen to. Some stuff is obvious punk, some stuff is borderline and hard to decipher. Shit, for example I think the B-52s are very garagey, and have a sound close to 77 style. A lot of people simply label them as poppy dance music.

Me and Tristy were arguing because we like to make up with each other.

Fine?

Goddamn Puke, why don't you suggest some more shit he won't be able to find anywhere on the internet?

[Liam]

Verbal Puke should STFU L E TIST (as RM puts it).

Or at least make it so everyone can find what he posts.

[VerbalPuke]

These bands are not hard to find if you care enough to find them. How do you think I found them? If it's a big deal of finding them, I can easily send files to the dude via AIM or MSN, as I have everything I listed. Or to anybody else that's interested for that matter, I'd love to spread the wealth.

Streaming Video - This Curse of Days - Death By Stereo Live At The X-Games

Hell Is For Heroes are signed on Epitaph, awesome. Did they ever release their second album? I know they got dropped off their label after "Neon Handshake" (Which was awesome IMO). They eventually got signed somewhere and put a demo/internet single out, which was a pretty good song and then they faded away again.

Has anyone mentioned NoFX or Operation Ivy yet? Two of the most influencial bands from the US!

Some songs to check out

Nofx

Bob

Seperation of Church and skate

Liza and Louise (bahahaha)

... In fact, why not just download all you can, i'm sure you'll LOVE them if you're into old school fun punk

Operation Ivy

Unity

Knowledge

Meh they only ever released one album, just try and pick it up, you wont be dissapointed

[YI]

NoFX suck.

Operation Ivy are badass though.

[Skummy]

NOFX have had one good song (Mattersville), they're incredibly generic, and not in any way amusing or interesting, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. And hearing their name attached to the phrase "old-school punk" is both laughable and vomit-inducing.

I suggest you check out any of the following (on top of the obvious ones, and what VerbalPuke has suggested):

Pussy Galore

The Dead Boys

The Sick Lipstick

Be Your Own Pet

The Cramps

DGeneration

The Fall

That should cover most bases, I think, off the top of my head.

[That Guy Mikey]

Any Band and every band from HellCat Records are fuckin' awesome, DKM, Rancid,Tiger Army, Left Alone (FUCKIN AWESOME LIVE), Nekromatix, HorrorPops, The Slackers, Lars Frederiksen and The Bastard, Transplant, for bands not on hell cat Millencolin (Y) are awesome, for good psychobilly and rockabilly bands there are Stray Cats, The Buzzbombs, 69 Bevershot, Meteors, and for good New Wave/Ska the AQUABATS

[Skummy]

I agree with everything you said there, other than Millencollin, who I think are vastly over-rated, and the Aquabats, who are just utter shite. I've never seen the appeal.

I didn't recommend any psychobilly, though, because I think it tends to lean more towards rockabilly than punk, so it's not the sort of thing I'd recommend to someone just looking for straight punk. Good choices of bands, though.

[That Guy Mikey]

The Street Dogs and The Ducky Boys are also great bands

[Rashid]

I dont know a lot of old school Punk. But for new school, Sum 41 and Blink 182 are great. Not sure if you'd count the Killers as punk or not. Simple Plan suck. And those 2 new "pop "punk" bands FallOutBoy and Hedyly suck. GreenDay arent that bad. AFI are good, they made CM Punk's awesome theme song.

[Skummy]

None of the bands you just listed are punk, or good.

[YI]

None of the bands you just listed are punk, or good.

[Skummy]

I'll admit that I haven't heard the last Sum 41 album, but from most of what I've heard, they had naff teenybopper American pop-punk vocals over generic classic rock riffs, with bad metal solos. It was the worst of all worlds.
