oh, and Choking victim/leftover crack/INDK/morning glory. what ever they decided to call themselves today are really good as well.
 
Its weird like 99% of these bands are not punk bands at all. Merely ska, hardcore,pop punk. It is hard to retain a real "punk" label nowadays.
Clash blow, Joe strummers stuff is much better.
Johnny Cash is not punk, there is no sayin he is punk rock, maybe merely his "attitude" he has influenced punk rock he was under the punk category. Time to hit the drawing board boys
 
My favortie artists.

The Gaslight Anthem
Flogging Molly
Dropkick Murphys
The Tossers
Lucero
Street Dogs
The Riot Before
Mischief Brew
List goes on depending on season

Lars, Op Ivy
And you don't like Rancid?
for anyone who liked Op Ivy check out Common Rider.
its a band with the old singer from Operation Ivy, pretty sick stuff.

I do like rancid. they are one of my favorites. I was pretty drunk when I wrote this. it was merely an oversight on my part. hopefully the punk gods will forgive me for this one.

in reply to your last post, I'd hardly call flogging molly punk. That is, in a purely musical genre definition of the word. I mean if you're gonna let them slip in but give Johnny the boot . . .

I never really viewed punk as a strict genre but more of a mind set. J.C. was as punk as they come. hell I even think Woody Guthrie had a little punk in him.

mischief brew is awesome BTW. I just heard about them through a friend and can't get enough of it.

It isn't the music that is punk though, it is all about the attitude. Hell most of the "punk" bands around I wouldn't call punk. In that regard Johnny Cash is most definitely punk.
 
In no specific order:


Rancid
TSOL
Social Distortion
NOFX
GutterMouth
The Offspring
Dropkick Murphys
Flogging Molly
Pennywise
(Old) Green Day
Anti-Flag
Rise Against
Bad Religion
 
I just remembered a few from the "old" days:

Black Flag
Circle Jerks
Christ-On-Parade
Anarchy U.K.
M.D.C.

These weren't many of my favorites although I did listen to quite a bit of Black Flag and Christ-On-Parade.

As for what qualifies as a punk band and what doesn't, I think that is pretty damn subjective. When I was younger if it wasn't hard core punk it just wasn't punk. Also, many of my early favorite bands were British bands. Then in the mid to late eighties there were some good So Cal punk bands that came along.

Johnny Cash? Musically not very punk but attitude wise very punk for his time. Also, look how good punk and rockabilly go together. There are some great Psychobilly bands out there.
 
I forgot to add Minor Threat.

I'm with you 100%. When we were bleeding at shows in the early- to mid-80's loud, fast, and angry pretty much did it... But mostly it was attitude/worldview, and "punk" isn't a hard-and-fast category, it's just something you know when you hear it. Johnny Cash? Definitely. Strummer sure seemed to think so.
 
Bad Religion
Nofx
Rancid
first two offspring albums
black flag
pennywise
ten foot pole
descendants
sex pistols
stiff little fingers
aquabats
misfits
ramones
...

this is exactly what I was trying to say.
you can be a 'punk' with out being in a 'punk rock' band. in fact a lot of the poeple who I feel are the most 'punk' wouldn't fall under the traditional label.

punk isn't about the music. I never thought it was. punk is a big middle finger to the status quo and the establishment as a whole. it's about standing up for what is wrong and making the little guys voice heard.

it's not three power chords a strong bass line and snarling vocals.

punks who are not "punk":

Johnny Cash
Woody Guthrie
rage against the machine
bob Marley
Richard Dawkins(seriously, the balls to stand up to the abrahamic religions and call bull sh#t on a global level. . . that is PUNK)

GregR, I just noticed that you were in San Diego. Do you remember a band called Battalion of Saints? I think they were out of SD in the late 80's?

I agree that punk music is more of an attitude than a cut and dry genre, but punk music should definently have an edge to it. At least in my opinion. By the way I have to say that I'm impressed that no one has tried to sneak in a band like Blink 182 or some other psuedo punk, pop band. Late Greenday and Offspring though is pushing the limit;)

though you are correct that I am in San Diego, I have only lived here for about the last 5 years. beyond that, you're aging yourself as well as me. . . I graduated kindergarten in 1989. sadly in some circles that makes me feel very old but in this instance, in lieu of what you said, it makes me feel young. I will look them up and I hope I can hear something awesome from them.

+1billion gazillion frafillion whatever. . . my only prerequisite into punk is you have to have an edge and a message. . . I could say what I think punk is but so long as you are actively fighting the system in whatever way you can, you are punk.

OK, since you started it, I don't consider these to be punk bands. I think the Damned are one of the last true punk bands left! :rockin:
 
You graduated kindergarten in 1989? Holy crap! I am dating myself, I graduated high school in 1990:D Such is life......Enjoy the music anyway Brotha!

:mug:
 
Heh heh. I used to have long hair when I was at college back in the mid-eighties when I was a "post-punk" and I hated it when kids yelled hippy. I was a Stooges fan dammit!

BTW, your musics just reanimated is all. ;)
 
that's ok. i like reanimation :p
