Punk Rock and Hardcore

Brewing beer while listening to Casey Jones. :rockin:

Irony abound.





For those who don't get the irony, Casey Jones is a straightedge band.

Nice. I used to live in Dayton. Took my wife on our first date to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.

I think that's why she married me.

Anyway, their wall (in the basement) of all the 77 NYC punk stuff kept my attention for a good 30 minutes or more.

Carhartt. Get the insulated overalls and the coat. I used to work outside in the winter in Ohio and with the Carhartt stuff I'd actually get hot.

I've always been a fan of D.R.I.

OK, I HAVE to do this. I was trying to avoid it, but here goes.



This is the last band I was in.

 

[dfc]

And this was the band before that.

 

[ErieShores]

Double Life was on one of my ipod playlists (running, I think). Solid band.

This is freakin awesome!!! I had no idea there were a bunch of old punks lurking this forum and I am discovering new bands I never heard of as well as rediscovering some great bands from my youth :rockin:

How in hell has no one mentioned the right Reverend Horton Heat???

I love the psychobilly stuff...the Cramps are still one of my favorite bands. Hard to get Bikini Girls with Machine Guns, All Women Are Bad, or Creature from the Black Leather Lagoon outta your head!!!

I usually brew to my punk playlist that is loaded with...
Iggy Pop, Stooges, Vandals, Ramones, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Misfits, Sex Pistols, X, Descendents, Exploited, Circle Jerks, Cramps, Fugazi, even some Beastie Boys is great old school punk, Suicidal Tendencies, Bad Brains, Bad Religion, The Clash, MDC, Subhumans, Agnostic Front, The Slits, Minor Threat, The Cro-Mags, the Buzzcocks
Pogues and Violent Femmes are on the softer side of punk but still great bands. And can't forget the Irish punk like Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly.

If you like DKM and Flogging Molly check out The Real McKenzies.

Don't know if it's old skool enough to qualify for this, but I'm a big fan of Rancid and Goldfinger...

My old band opened for Tim Armstrongs old band once down here. Ever hear of Operation Ivy?

The Goo Goo Dolls? Punk???

Uhm, yeah... You wear a T.S.O.L. Shirt on stage, that makes you punk, right?
:rolleyes

I only ever liked the Ramones, but too me they were not real punk, but then again not listening to any others it is hard to compare. To me they had the physical image of punk but there songs were actually more like Beatle songs in their composition.

That. Makes. No sense to me.

The Ramones were about as Anti-Beatles as anyone I could think of...

Bad Brains - in Chicago when they were touring for Quickness in 1989 or 1990.

I've seen the Brains a few times, but that Quickness tour was something! HR had about as much energy as I had ever seen them!!

does slayer count?

Funny, I was just thinking the other day on the whole progression from Punk/Metal into Thrash. I remember hearing Metallica the first time and thinking, Pshh! These guys are Dirtheads! Then I listened an was like, Oh crap! This is all new!! Then came bands like Megadeath, Slayer, Anthrax etc.

I know some will say there were other bands before them but, that's what started it for me. The acceptance of the "long-hairs" LOL!!

Do the Dead Milkmen count? I get the definitions fuzzy sometimes.

That's what's great about early punk. The music doesn't define it as much as the attitude. Look at some of the pioneers. DK, Ramones, Minutemen, Black Flag, GBH, The Germs.... None of these bands sound even remotely similar!

I got some, how about The Accused? (Splatter Rock!!!) or Excel (Split Image!!). Speaking of Venice, nobody's mentioned Suicidal Tendencies?

Ever hear of the Downs Family?

 

[dfc]

Haha, In all seriousness I checked them out. Not bad.

Beat ya to it, check my earlier post...

New Social Distortion album in January. Excited for this one. Social D is the one band I make sure I catch each time they come through.

New Screeching Weasel due out in March. Ben's been writing Weasel songs all along, and stashing them away.

 

[dfc]

The thing with Social Distortion (at least to me) is they only had one album where they brought it all together.

What I'm talking about is on their earlier releases the music was amazing but the lyrics were lackluster. Lyrics like "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, you won't see these kids in heaven" suck. On their later releases the lyrics are amazing, but the music is just boring. The one release they brought it all together was White Light, White Heat, White Trash.

I respect Social D and have seen them twice (1997 and whenever the tour with Matt Freeman was) but I don't listen to them too often.

After Television City Dream, they really fell off. I'd like to see them get back to the Boogada days, hopefully this new release will revert.

The one release they brought it all together was White Light, White Heat, White Trash.

I couldn't have said this better. People have been sucking off Ness but I never knew what the obsession was, then White Light came out. Wow...

I've always been partial to Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell. It's not a punk rock album, but it's an amazing rock album. The White Heat Album is good as well, but I always find myself going back to Somewhere...
