Give Me A Band

[KNuPRoCKeR]

Hey Punkerz .. Getting straight to the point.. I play Punk stuff, from general to every subculture... any instrument.. got my own studio.. but I need some knowledge from you guys..

The thing is.. I love punk. the lifestyle.. the music.. but lately its been so monotonous.. saaame shiiiiiiit... all these bands... and I realised that in rock.. ppl just seem to notice metalheads as the best musicians technically.. as in speed and skill in playing instruments..

But Im sure there has to be at least one GREAT punk band out there.. one that'll just thrash all when it comes to musical ingenuality... one where every toher band seems to have failed in cloning or copying coz theyr juz so **** good...underground or popular.. THE BEST.. musically.. if not technically (eg. fast playing, leads, crazy bass drives, hectic drumming).. some depth in their songwriting..

I'm just looking for the different now.. I want to hear the punk equivalent to the best musicians of every genre. I know some of u guys are pretty cold and will just tell me to F*** OFF.. but I just need this one help from you guys.. and it's much appreciated.. thanks

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Dead Kennedys

[warrenpeace]

the clash man.the clash.

[PlanetSmasher]

Dead Kennedys
I second that

[dropkickstreetpunk]

nofx

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Ehh I don't know about Nofx, there are a million other bands that sound like them, they just happened to have done it before them.

[thefatman90]

nofx


i second that....theyre drummer is crazy

[Excursions]

refused

[oopyman]

I second that
I third it.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Dead Kennedys
Refused
Minutemen

So far that's the list thats worthy.

[death by failure]

toxic narcotic, leftover crack, discharge, negative approach, minor threat...i can't think of many that dont sound like every other band..

[MechanicalClockworkOrgy]

the clash
floggin molly
against me!
and if you wanna call these punk
sonic youth
unwritten law

[SkaRobotArmy]

Streetlight Manifesto is the only band that matters.

[Jessizzle]

Streetlight has some crazzy horns.

[SkaRobotArmy]

and some crazy drums, and some crazy bass and possibly the craziest guitar (in ska anyway). The only thing is toms not a great singer, fast and lotsa fun to listen to but not very... good as far as 'actual singing talent' goes.

[Chaos]

Operation ivy?, this threads going to get big...

learn some audio karate while your at it

www.purevolume.com/audiokarate

good stuff....really good.. check out Jesus is alive and well in mexico

[shadows_forbid]

subhumans or leftover crack but they sounds to close to choking victim
minor threat

[ZaaR]

Bad Brains

[AIRIC]

Dead Kennedys
Refused
Leftover Crack/Choking Victim
Against Me!
Blood Brothers
Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution

And...

INNER TERRESTRIALS!

[SkaRobotArmy]

BOTAR are just a copy of streetlight but acoustically... i prefer SM.

[whats her face]

Streetlight manifesto is rad, but he asked for punk.

Um Ive obly heard this sone by Death By Stereo, but download " I wouldnt piss in your ear if your brain was on fire"

Rad song.

Um Against All Authority has some good songs, American Nightmare, The Nerve Agents have a couple good songs like "Todays Rebelion, Tomorrows Freedom"

And The Code is great, but I got tired of them pretty fast, "In Hope" and " Our Safety" are cool songs.

Oh and I still havent got sick of Raised Fist. I love all thier songs.

[POINTLESS5448]

minutemen

[Melvins_Army]

Circle takes the sqaure
The distillers(Brody is HOTTT!!)

Dead Kennedys
Bad Brains
Fearless Iranians From Hell
X
Propagandhi
Kings Of Nuthin
Dead Boys
I was just about to ask if you guy's remembered Bad Brains.

[whats her face]

I think the Misfits are over rated, people in my town all claim to love them, but no one here listens to thier music, its like my freinds little sister and Bad Religion, she has a bunch of merch (that daddy bought her) but Ive never heard her play BR. ****ing wanna-be's

[TheNowhereman42]

HORSE the band
Cocksparrer
Dead Kennedys

[allsystemssuck]

[MechanicalClockworkOrgy]

HORSE the band is pretty original and musicly talented

www.purevolume.com/horsetheband
holy ****ing ****, that sucks, i was talking about doing something exactly like that except i hadnt heard of these guys before now, i based it off "the berzerker' by the band the russians (also on PV)
****
oh well, thats cool that thats out there, now to look for something new......again

[sketchyjoe]

I've got a new idea. You could combine rockabilly and punk and call it psychobilly.


Damn! Foiled again.



At least no-ones tried motown-core so far. That'll be my gifft to music.

hahahahahahahaha, nice, or theres always AIDs core

[me likes punk]

streetlight manifesto

[rancidrocksmyworld]

rancid or the dead kennedys (i think the ramones were original too cause they started it all)

[sketchyjoe]

Rancid aren't original. Ever heard of The Clash?

[Excursions]

haha thats what i was gonna say

[SkaRobotArmy]

its not like they ripped of their sound entirely, they just borrowed alot of influence. They took what the clash did and made it faster, more aggresive and in some cases more ska.

[Jessizzle]

man paint steve green it the crazzist punk ska band out there i cant begin to believe no one has said them :)

[TheNowhereman42]

its not like they ripped of their sound entirely, they just borrowed alot of influence. They took what the clash did and made it faster, more aggresive and in some cases more ska.

did the clash acctually play any ska? Didn't they only do reggae?

i had no idea this was a word

*searches high and low for dictionary*

[Anarcho Poser]

Ingenuity, he meant.

[SkaRobotArmy]

give or take 3-4 letters

[Anarcho Poser]

Well he either meant ingenuousness or ingenuity. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and asumed ingenuity.

[KNuPRoCKeR]

..ohh yeah.. typing fast... i teached myselp how to spoke english..

.those are really alotta help guyz... but i juz wanna know.. i seem to notice DK's popped up alot.. what do u guys think they have that no one else duz? what can they do that no one else does? and yet.. they never surfaced fully mainstream... obviously coz theyr punk..

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Dead Kennedys
Minutemen

Go with those two, probably the most 2 original bands in punk. While the ban is not being in the mainstreem.ds have gotten more popular over time they never got big because it's part of being "punk"

[The Raven]

The Dam ned. All one word...

[mitchhip]

The misfits! there the only punk band i like...being a 'metalhead' and all. and I also so if your going to listen to misfits get some micheal graves misfits, danzig is pretty good but micheal is just better

[Bullet In_The Head]

I think the Misfits are over rated, people in my town all claim to love them, but no one here listens to thier music, its like my freinds little sister and Bad Religion, she has a bunch of merch (that daddy bought her) but Ive never heard her play BR. ****ing wanna-be's

[murderking]

Here have a band:
*Gives Band*

[skateMASTERbater2]

**** sparrer!

[albert_bass]

Technichally Bigwig and Strung Out kick everyone's asses. Lagwagon are very good also but not that much

[guns_of_brixton]

Social Distortion
Fugazi
The Clash

[Dr Funkenstein]

did the clash acctually play any ska? Didn't they only do reggae?

See (listen to) Wrong 'Em Boyo.

Also gotta go with BR on this (only counting bands still around. But that doesn't really make any difference anyway). Best vocalist in punk. Best songwriters in punk. Best backing vocals in punk (at least on albums anyway). Best lyricists in punk. Some excellent lead guitar from Brian Baker and the tightest rhythm section in punk (If you see 'em live you'll know what I mean). Also with Brooks Wackerman on drums they now have arguably the best drummer in punk, and the drummer with the best surname in punk. And they've done it consistently for ages. If you disagree with this, you are wrong!

[KNuPRoCKeR]

I'm sorta getting where Bad Religion and Dead Kennedys are comin' from..

[Senses_Fail21]

The Ramones (not technicall with flashy drum solos or any of that stuff but thats what makes them great)

[germocide777]

why is the d'amned censored?

[religionisascam]

why is the d'amned censored?
Because it's a naughty word!

[holidayincambodia88]

in my opinion, these bands are great for instrumentals:

DOA
Dead Kennedys
Flogging Molly
Propaghandi
Anti-Flag


and NOFX, even though i like them, are horrable at thier instruments.

[clueless3696]

the clash man.the clash.
I second that.

[Hakkai]

Propagandhi
Lagwagon (The new album Blaze kicks *** just listen to the solo in baggage)

Well a pop punk band thats good is Rufio, they are pop punk but they sure know how to play well.

[capri sun junkie]

Propagandhi
Without a doubt.

[holy_roller99]

DOA

Flogging Molly
Propaghandi
Anti-Flag

about nofx, you cannot be more wrong. they are good instrumentalists and songwriters and do a good deal of complicated sh't. (checkout thier ska and The Decline if you don't beleive me)

[Im going to Disney World!]

Lets see here... A band thats talented musically, depth to songwriting and hard to imitate... A Wilhelm Scream definately, they're melodic hardcore at its finest. Check em out
