Testify brother ✊🏼

Lots of punk is pretty surface level and relentlessly preachy tbh. You either agree with what they're saying or you don't. They're fun and they generally have takes that I agree with, but I lean pretty far left. They're a bit famous, but I feel that they deserve it well enough.

You have to have the bile and the balls to deliver with integrity. These fuckers are students.

Everybody who plays a genre after someone else is a student. They have a lot of upbeat, well put together songs with consistently great hooks and great instrumentals. As far as bile and balls go, I love Talbot's snarl tbh. I think he has a pretty heavy voice without having to try, and so appreciate the delivery. The production could be a somewhat grittier but generally my complaints stop there.

Bless ya

some people who like this band might like Pure Adult which is a band that was just starting up when COVID hit. it's a duo of which half is a guy who does sound for Idles (he's playing keyboard on their tiny desk concert). EP, which comes with a rec from joe talbot: https://pureadult.bandcamp.com/album/pure-adult

It's better than the new Deftones!

New album sounds more straight up punk than this one. I got more of a sex pistols vibe and less of a noise rock vibe. Fucking good though.

don’t fight a man with a perm seems like it’d be so fun live

I’d like to put forth the idea that all of that could be true AND they could still be good. That’s not necessarily the case tho

I completely agree

Imagine living in 2020 and still giving a fuck what’s punk or not.

People having been arguing since 1977, it’s getting boring.

@ Cygnatti. You 5ing Yung Lean and Kanye- Jesus is King, gives you all the credibility in the world.
