The Punk Thread

[VerbalPuke]

Hm...good question. Let me think on that. Plenty of good choices.

I admit, my first thought right now off the top of my head is Gogol Bordell Gypsy Punks. In its own way I feel like it would stand up with stuff like London Calling or Zen Arcade for being pretty unique and just being really good from beginning to end.

I really like the Carbonas self titled album. Very good, very much a Goner records type of garage punk act. They have a fast uptempo style but aren't really overwhelmingly heavy either.  

Told you I had it typed out on my computer.

Yeah, they have a few dates in the US and Canada now and then Europe in the summer.

I loved the Shape of Punk to Come, but they have released Freedom, a not great record. I doubt I would see them in concert unless they were playing The Shape of Punk to Come in its entirety.

pretty broad... essentially any kind of broadly guitar based music which is based around a DIY ethos.  Which means there is some seepage in to Hip-hop, indie and metal, but I would rather it be like that than it having a very narrow definition.

To an extent, it wouldn't be the first genre I would think of, but as a group there is a lot of parallels in their conduct to punk

So what punk album do you  find the best from this century? 

[RPS]

My favorite punk band of this century is probably Wavves. My favorite punk album is probably Against Me Transgender Dysphoria Blues or Dillinger Escape Plan Miss Machine.

Another show. This one actually close to you, Bikini Kill is on tour. I was going to get tickets for them but after the kick in the dick charges from the ticket company two tickets were about 110 bucks. I like them but that's a bit much. I hate convenience fees.

I don't...I may still go. I feel like the show would be amazing and all, maybe like Jesus Lizard in that its just got that wild ass 90s vibe.

But I did end up buying some tickets for GBH and MDC which should be fun. I saw GBH in 2007 and they were incredible. Never seen MDC but they should he fun, this is probably one of the better combinations I'll have seen. MDC is one of many great punk bands out of the Texas area.
