ITT: We personally recommend bands to each other.

[Special Brew]

^^^
Thanks!

Okay, looking for some jazzy punk, ala Television and The Voidoids. Any ideas?
A Japanese band callled Merry.

[Special Brew]

The Slackers isn't really what I had in mind. Thanks though.

Maybe it's not only jazz I'm looking for, but punkish swing music. If you've heard that band, Merry, you would know what I'm talking about. They're really jazzy and swingish at times.

[dropkickstreetpunk2]

I've been listening to bands such as:
DRI
Mob 47
Millions of Dead Cops

What other bands are fast and quick like that?

[Iron Bug]

I've been listening to bands such as:

DFA

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

So if I like the Specials, I would also like....


I need more 2tone!

[Excursions]

You guys got any suggestions for ska bands that are real jazzy? I want something with a good swing, not the overly punkish stuff.

Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra and New York Ska-Jazz Ensemble.

So if I like the Specials, I would also like....


I need more 2tone!

Madness
The English Beat
Bad Manners
The Selector

[RetiredAt21]

I recommend these bands to anyone:

His Hero Is Gone
Tragedy
Indian Summer
Joshua Fit For Battle
Neil Perry
Stay Gold
Modern Life Is War
Orchid
As The Sun Sets

You should listen to all of those bands.

[Excursions]

Nah.

[RetiredAt21]

Then you're dumb.

[Brain Toad]

I recommend these bands to anyone:

His Hero Is Gone - Meh
Tragedy - Ok
Indian Summer - Good
Joshua Fit For Battle - Decent
Neil Perry - Get's boring
Stay Gold - Good
Modern Life Is War - Decent
Orchid - Good
As The Sun Sets - Don't know

You should listen to all of those bands.
^^^

EDIT: also, just listing a bunch of random bands with no genre explainations or reasons why isn't recommending bands, it's name dropping.

[Iron Bug]

So if I like the Specials, I would also like....


I need more 2tone!
The Pietasters

[Bukowski]

I'm looking for something similar to Gogol Bordello and World Inferno Friendship Society that i could dig. I hear both bands get labled 'gypsy punk', but i have no idea about any other bands in the genre, and figured this was as good a place as any to ask. Any ideas?

[Brain Toad]

Guignol is the only other band I know similar to them, they are all instrumental though.

You could try Polkacide. They are "polka-punk"

[Bukowski]

I think i'll try Polkacide. Polka-punk sounds interesting...

How good are Guignol? Instrumental isn't really what i had in mind, but if they're as good as the other bands then i'll check them out.

[Ghostfire3]

The Pietasters

The Pietasters aren't two tone. They're just traditional ska. They are a great band though, and I would recommend them to any ska fans who haven't heard them.

[Brain Toad]

Guignol is entertaining but not something I listen to for hours.

[scarlets_soul]

Rise Against are punk/melodic hardcore but more likely just punk.
Strung out are punk/melodic hardcore but more likely just punk.
Propaghandi are punk/thrash
AWS are melodic hardcore
not sure on Thrice

^^^ thankyou

[KingOfSka]

The Pietasters aren't two tone. They're just traditional ska. They are a great band though, and I would recommend them to any ska fans who haven't heard them.

I wouldn't say they're trad. They're like a combination of The Planet Smashers and Slackers.

But nonetheless. They kick so much a'ss.

[Liebensaft]

Guignol is entertaining but not something I listen to for hours.
They're definitely good musicians, but I find it hard to get real into instrumental stuff.

They played with Erik Petersen when I saw him. :)

[Ghostfire3]

I wouldn't say they're trad. They're like a combination of The Planet Smashers and Slackers.

But nonetheless. They kick so much a'ss.

Yeah, you're right, they're not really traditional ska. But they are indeed a good band.

[NekroThrax]

are the HorrorPops good?
and can someone reccomend some good Skacore or thrash

[Brain Toad]

Horrorpops are really bad.

[NekroThrax]

or some hardcore punk

[NekroThrax]

oh...ok thanks

[Flagjacket]

Some good hardcore is Blue Monday, Jerry's Kids, and Gorilla Biscuits.

[DaveToopes]

Good thrash: Municipal Waste, DS-13, Exodus, D.R.I.

Head over to the hardcore forum's thrash thread for more, they can help you out more than I can.

[Flagjacket]

Ethan I got a DS-13 album and all the songs are less a minute. Is that correct?

[DaveToopes]

Most likely, yes.

Also for thrash, check out Bones Brigade and for hardcore Kids Like Us.

[Flagjacket]

I can confirm the Bones Brigade are good. And KLU are good too.

[DaveToopes]

Anyone that doesn't confirm that is a asshole.

[Times Ten]

If you like DS-13, check out 97a, Betercore, Bruce Banner (same members), The Chuck Norris, Crucial Unit, Cut The Shi't, Diskonto, Heresy, Jellyroll Rockheads, Machine Gun Romantics, RAMBO, Reagan SS, Scholastic Deth, Street Trash, Vitamin X, Voetsek, and What Happens Next?. I felt like making a list.

[Flagjacket]

Guys, am I weird cause I don't find super shoprt grindcore thrash appealing?

[Times Ten]

No, but I think it is amazing.

[Brain Toad]

Guys, am I weird cause I don't find super shoprt grindcore thrash appealing?

It's an acquired taste, but I think there is no real bad grind because it's too short to be that bad.

[Flagjacket]

I like Pig Destroyer and DS-13 but then like, a ten second song carried entirely by that hi hat-snare-bass thing and a guy screaming just doesn't sound that great to me. How do these bands play shows?

[DaveToopes]

If you like DS-13, check out 97a, Betercore, Bruce Banner (same members), The Chuck Norris, Crucial Unit, Cut The Shi't, Diskonto, Heresy, Jellyroll Rockheads, Machine Gun Romantics, RAMBO, Reagan SS, Scholastic Deth, Street Trash, Vitamin X, Voetsek, and What Happens Next?. I felt like making a list.

All good bands, I'll check out the ones that aren't bolded. I've been meaning to check Voetsek out for a long time.

Edit: Kevin, Nick's right. It is an acquired taste. I hated the stuff at first. If you want to get into grind, try listening to Toxic Narcotic or Municipal Waste, they're a bit more polished, and may be able to get you started.

[Times Ten]

Voetsek is amazing. The vocalist is a girl.:eek:

[Ghostfire3]

or some hardcore punk

Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Gorilla Biscuits

Can't go wrong with any of those bands.

[DaveToopes]

Hardcore punk: Career Suicide.

[Ghostfire3]

I'm in need of some good hardcore punk. So, I have a couple questions.

1. What is a better Gorilla Biscuits album: Gorilla Biscuits or Start Today ?

2. If I like bands like Bad Brains, Minor Threat, etc. what other hardcore bands would I like?

And no post-hardcore please. Thank you. That is all.

[Flagjacket]

Start Today.

Black Flag.

[Ghostfire3]

I already listen to Black Flag, sorry should've mentioned them.

[AIRIC]

Start Today ftw.

[Nerdcore753]

Recommend something similar NoMeansNo.

[Times Ten]

2. If I like bands like Bad Brains, Minor Threat, etc. what other hardcore bands would I like?
Jerry's Kids, Gang Green, The Faith, Void, Adrenalin OD, SS Decontrol, Antidote, Negative Approach, Artificial Peace, The Teen Idles, Uniform Choice, Big Boys, The Dicks, Scream, Government Issue, and Poison Idea.

[Mr Observations]

+ Reagan Youth. Dude they're essential.

[Flagjacket]

Jerry's Kids, Gang Green, The Faith, Void, Adrenalin OD, SS Decontrol, Antidote, Negative Approach, Artificial Peace, The Teen Idles, Uniform Choice, Big Boys, The Dicks, Scream, Government Issue, and Poison Idea.
Turth.

EDIT: I typed Turth but I'm not gonna change that.

[Ghostfire3]

What's a good Black Flag album other than Damaged?

[DaveToopes]

Jerry's Kids, Gang Green, The Faith, Void, Adrenalin OD, SS Decontrol, Antidote, Negative Approach, Artificial Peace, The Teen Idles, Uniform Choice, Big Boys, The Dicks, Scream, Government Issue, and Poison Idea.

Turth. (lol)

[40 oz 2 freedom]

Illmatic^

[AndreTheHyena]

EVERYBODY needs to download "Windfall" by Son Volt. It'll change your life.

[Iron Bug]

What's a good Black Flag album other than Damaged?
My War/Everything Went Black/Jealous Again

[AIRIC]

Illmatic^

Pat do you have Illmatic? I only have Stillmatic.

[Flagjacket]

I have Illmatic

AM!, TBIAPB = Defiance Ohio

Lagwagon = Face to Face, Jawbreaker, Randy
Reagan Youth = Career Suicide

[AndreTheHyena]

ALT. COUNTRY TIME, BOYZ.

Everyone needs to download "Windfall" by Son Volt (as I already said, but nobody listens to me) and "Airline to Heaven" by Billy Bragg and Wilco. Both songs are absolutely amazing.

And if anyone hasn't checked out the rest of Billy Bragg and Wilco's stuff, Mermaid Avenue, Volumes 1 & 2, get up on that like there was no tomorrow. They cover Woody Guthrie songs and it's easily some of the best music I've ever heard.

Nick, I suggest the Handsome Family to you. It's a husband-wife duo who make some of the most traditionally composed folk and country I've heard, though all of their records came out in the past ten years. Really haunting lyrics about death and all that.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

Pat do you have Illmatic? I only have Stillmatic.

Course I got it, IM me.

[mtbaird5687]

which bands that i havent hear of do you think i would like? i curerntly listen to lots of

lagwagon (older stuff)
nofx
rancid
dropkick murphys
operation ivy
minor threat
bad religion
and a little pennywise.

yall know anything id like that matches some of those styles. im really trying to find a band with a rancid/dropkick style sound, i really lke that, thanks

[Flagjacket]

I've noticed a lot of people come in here with entry point bands and ask for more bands that sound like entry point bands.


Listen to Latterman.

[Brain Toad]

I've noticed a lot of people come in here with entry point bands and ask for more bands that sound like entry point bands.


Listen to Latterman.

I've seen a lot of that too. And they just want bands handed to them. They don't just lurk the forums like some of us did and just picked up the band recommendations from the rest of the forum.

[Flagjacket]

Poseurs.

[DaveToopes]

I lurked for ages!

[Flagjacket]

I read threads occansionally and then started posting but didn't think I'd get to the point where I knew everyone's name. I think that people should whore our punkl forums so we get mopre people who post in here.

[DaveToopes]

Oh I used to just go through archives, then I started to read new posts, then I posted once, forgot about MX, then started posting in August.

[AndreTheHyena]

Everyone download "I'll Be Yr Bird" (it may be under "I'll Be Your Bird") by M. Ward and tell me it didn't change your life.

I've listened to M. Ward for so long without ever realizing how great he is, until the other day.

[Weezerfan_returns]

If you like Bad Religion and Nofx i'd recomend Propagandhi. Start out with their first album How to Clean Everything

If you like pennywise i'd recomend eating your own shi't, it's much more enjoyable.

[Ghostfire3]

Someone plz recommend me a good Career Suicide album.

[DaveToopes]

I'd just get Anthology of Releases: 2001-2003 for now.

[Flagjacket]

And then Invisible Eyes.

I would like some good Small Arms Dealer type of stuff.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

Sars EP

[KingOfSka]

I've been listening to Melodic Hardcore bands like Strike Anywhere, A Wilhelm Scream, Crime In Stereo, Kid Dynamite, NMDS, Rise Against, stuff like that. I'm craving more. Reccomend me some of the same.

[TakeWarning]

Lifetime, Shelter, Shook Ones.

And maybe Sinking Ships.

[Permanent Solution]

I've been listening to Melodic Hardcore bands like Strike Anywhere, A Wilhelm Scream, Crime In Stereo, Kid Dynamite, NMDS, Rise Against, stuff like that. I'm craving more. Reccomend me some of the same.
I'd say some of Thrice's stuff would fit well. But that might just be me...

[Danger Bird]

Are The Exploited any good?

[A-Life-Less-Plagued]

I've been listening to Melodic Hardcore bands like Strike Anywhere, A Wilhelm Scream, Crime In Stereo, Kid Dynamite, NMDS, Rise Against, stuff like that. I'm craving more. Reccomend me some of the same.
CIV, H2O, Ignite, In My Eyes, the Movielife, Set Your Goals...the semi-new Paint It Black album is a lot more melodic and KD-like, so check that out too. And the stuff TakeWarning recommended. Check out the album "When 20 Summers Pass" by Shelter.

[DaveToopes]

If you like sh'itty streetpunk, then you'll like the Exploited.

[Ghostfire3]

Are The Exploited any good?

In a word, No.

[Danger Bird]

Oh.

So what Ian MacKaye band should I listen to after Minor Threat, Fugazi, and The Evens?

[DaveToopes]

Embrace.

[Special Brew]

Lifetime
Kid Dynamite
H2O
Daggermouth
Set Your Goals
In My Eyes
Good Clean Fun
CIV
Gorilla Biscuits

Name some more poppy hardcore bands. Or just some posi stuff, like Youth of Today. And don't say Saves the Day, because they blow.

[Flagjacket]

What?

[DaveToopes]

Damien, try Set It Straight if you haven't already.

[Biscuit_box]

Are The Exploited any good?

Yes they are. I think they're very good. Check them out.

[Flagjacket]

Yes they are. I think they're very good. Check them out.
He's wrong.

[DaveToopes]

I like them sometimes, only because I used to like them so much. I can only listen to a few songs in a row though.

[musicforlife]

Rise Against is okay.

[DaveToopes]

Um, thanks.

[Special Brew]

Damien, try Set It Straight if you haven't already.
Yup, I already like 'em. Any more suggestions?

I found a great band called last night, called The Steal.

myspace.com/thesteal

[ratsinthecity403]

Has anyone heard Migra Violenta and are they any good? I heard one song and it sounded pretty good but am looking for second opinons.

[clustifux]

any recomendations for a band that sounds like Grimple, JFA, or L.A.s wasted youth? Ive been diggin these bands a LOT latley.

[Flagjacket]

Try every OC hardcore punk band. Except for TSOL they're weird.

Anyone got any Marathon similar bands?

[Liebensaft]

TSOL are awesome. Even though my only opinion of them is from the album Dance With Me, which I've heard is their best.

[Iron Bug]

Lifetime
Kid Dynamite
H2O
Daggermouth
Set Your Goals
In My Eyes
Good Clean Fun
CIV
Gorilla Biscuits

You wanna repeat that last part? Cause I thought you said Saves The Day blows, but that can't be right.

Seriously though, Shook Ones.

[Liebensaft]

Saves the Day are very good.

[DaveToopes]

Killing the Dream are pretty posi.

lol?

[Danger Bird]

What's a good Adicts album to start on?

[Liebensaft]

Smart Alex or Sounds of Praise, I'd say.

[terronez]

27 is good too

[Special Brew]

You wanna repeat that last part? Cause I thought you said Saves The Day blows, but that can't be right.

Seriously though, Shook Ones.
Shook Ones is ok, but I'll have to listen to them more before I'll be able to get into them. I actually passed up the chance to see them last week.

And yes, I said Saves the Day blows. I don't like anything I've heard by them.

Killing the Dream are pretty posi.

lol?
I like 'em already.

[AndreTheHyena]

Nick and Griff, check out Patterson Hood's solo album, Killers and Stars. There are some excellent songs on there. It'd be cool to see some of them done as DBT tracks later down the road.

[Danger Bird]

Is Generation X any good?

[ratsinthecity403]

I'm going to get an Amebix album, any suggestions as to what's the best?

[nitzguy]

i would like new folk-punk with screaming in it or one with a really good story teller such as ghost mice and saw wheel. i got johnny hobo, and i like their amount of screaming. anything like that?

[Liebensaft]

O Pioneers!!!

[ForThePunx76]

anyone still looking for thrash: anthrax, exodus, metal church, testament, overkill, and some mercyful fate

[AIRIC]

i would like new folk-punk with screaming in it or one with a really good story teller such as ghost mice and saw wheel. i got johnny hobo, and i like their amount of screaming. anything like that?


Evil Robot Us

[Rise Me Up]

I'm going to get an Amebix album, any suggestions as to what's the best?

None, they suck.

[AIRIC]

Punk as fux Brad says the Amebix suck.

WHAT HE DOESN'T TELL YOU:

Amebix album Arise! was a pivotol crust punk album, many cite it as the first crust punk album.

[Brain Toad]

Is Generation X any good?

If you like Billy Idol and early power pop.

[white_riot]

[Brain Toad]

You should start yourself into the softer folk-punk, because it's a lot more prevelent than the screamy stuff.

[Flagjacket]

prevalent?what does that mean? O Pioneers!!! is awesome, but not as good as Defiance, Ohio.

[Brain Toad]

I spelt it wrong, but well enough that if you knew the word you'd reconize it.

prev·a·lent
adj. Widely or commonly occurring, existing, accepted, or practiced.

[NekroThrax]

i need some bands to listen to...any German punk bands or German rock...
and something along the lines of the Flatliners, and maybe some ska
thanks

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

The only German band I know is Mad Sin. German psychobilly. For ska, check the band list, but I would reccomend, Streetlight Manifesto, The Toasters, The Specials, and the Rudiments

[NekroThrax]

ahh...German Psychobilly...must be good
thanks ill check em out

[NekroThrax]

do you know the name of any Mad Sin albums...that would make my search easyer...

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

God Save the Sin, and Survival of the Sickest.


They have a new album coming out too called Dead Moon Calling I think.

[Brain Toad]

Mad Sin are pretty much the best psychobilly band.

[Ghostfire3]

Yes, I quite enjoy Mad Sin. Get Survival of the Sickest, God Save the Sin, and Dead Moon's Calling. Also, let's not forget about Oxymoron for some good German punk.

[NekroThrax]

so Mad sin and oxymornon
think of any more, post em and id be greatful

[NekroThrax]

oh and are there any bands out there like Primus, who focus more on the bass than guitars?

[Flagjacket]

Mad Sin are pretty much the best psychobilly band.
I'm telling you,12 Step Rebels are the best psychobilly right now.

[Liebensaft]

Die Toten Hosen!!

[Flagjacket]

Die Toten Hosen are not psychobilly.

But they are German punk now I getcha.

Die Arzte is the best German punk.

[Liebensaft]

My German teacher got these new books and they have a picture of Die Toten Hosen in them.

[AndreTheHyena]

Wizo, duh.

[Ghostfire3]

Someone plz recommend me a good Desmond Dekker album.

[AndreTheHyena]

King of Ska, I think. I could be wrong. That might not even be a real album.

[Liebensaft]

Can I call you Mr. Cruces?

[711]

Check out The Explosion, they arent too popular but they rock.

[Flagjacket]

The Explosions aren't popular? Since when?

[Mannik]

It's true, I saw the Explosion last year and the place was only half full.

[Flagjacket]

the Expplosion opened for Good Charlotte.

[clash_hooligans]

I know alot of people that like them.

[Liebensaft]

the Expplosion opened for Good Charlotte.
That gives them no credibility whatsoever.

[AndreTheHyena]

The Explosion have some really good tracks, but I could never get into them.

Can I call you Mr. Cruces?

I guess?

[Liebensaft]

I was just kidding about that. I still like your music.

[Ghostfire3]

That gives them no credibility whatsoever.

What are you talking about, that gives them tons of cred! :p

[Ghostfire3]

i posted this a while back but didnt remember where it was. im tryin to get some propaghandi right so i know about them

thanks

[Culture Shock]

What Subhumans album should I get after The Day the Country Died.

Should I assume that you have already gotten EPLP? If you haven't, then get that. After that get Rats/Time Flies... as well as every other album they made (they are that good!). If you are looking for something more solid then go for Cradle to the Grave or Worlds Apart.

[AndreTheHyena]

Anyone (specifically Andre) want to recommend me some good bluegrass and other good roots music?

Bob Wills, dude. I just got into him and he rules. In terms of bluegrass, Split Lip Rayfield is a good current band, as is Big Smith, if you haven't heard either of them.

edit: ****, man, check out Jimmy Martin. He's the King of Bluegrass. Elizabeth Cotten is an amazing female blues/folk artist (her song "Freight Train" will change your life). And if you like instrumental folk stuff, check out John Fahey.

[Vismund Cygnus]

I just started getting into punk when I saw GBH a few months ago. the bands I like are them, dead kennedys, bad brains, the misfits, a lot of psychobilly bands, stuff like union 13. What should I look in to?

Try Minor Threat, 7 Seconds, Gorilla Biscuits, Dag Nasty. For psychobilly, the only band I really know of is Mad Sin, but you could try other bands like Necromantix and Tiger Army.

[Brain Toad]

No! Tiger Army sucks!

For psychobilly: Mad Sin, The Meteors, Batmobile, Demented are Go!, 12 Step Rebels, Godless Wicked Creeps, and Elvis Hitler

For stuff similar to GBH, maybe try A Global Threat and Lower Class Brats

[Liebensaft]

Mad Sin are very good psychobilly. I just checked them out a few weeks ago.

[Brain Toad]

They are probably the best psychobilly band I've heard.


Check out Bob's Country Bunker, they are from Ohio, saw them live at a car show and got their CD ad a used record store, good psychobilly/country punk/punk and roll. I have them shared on soulseek.

[IgniteYourAvail]

I thought Tiger Army sucked, I just didn't know how bad. I just knew they were psychobilly.

By the way, Nick, who's that secksy man in your avatar?

[Brain Toad]

Sam Beam aka Iron & Wine

I highly recommend him if you like soft alt. country/folk/indie

[Vismund Cygnus]

A global threat and lower class brats are really good, so are batmobile.
thanks! are there any other bands like lower class brats?

[Brain Toad]

Not in sound completely, but check out Adicts and Major Accident, both have the clockwork orange influence. Adicts are poppy punk and Major Accident are oi.

Psychobilly: 12 Step Rebels, Batmobile, Demented Are Go!, Godless Wicked Creeps, Guana Batz, The Koffin Kats, Mad Sin, The Meteors, The Quakes, Reverend Horton Heat, Rezurex, The Sharks

Sorry if I repeated some that Nick said.

[Vismund Cygnus]

i'm really loving everything you guys recommended, especially all the psychobilly bands.
The quakes are here tomorrow and i'm DEFINITELY checking them out. what do you guys think of the nekromantix? i like them a lot. they're kind of goofy, but they're really good.

Yeah The Quakes are awesome. If you like older psychobilly and haven't checked out bands like The Meteors, The Sharks, Demented Are Go!, and Guana Batz I suggest doing so.

I like the Nekromantix. Brought Back To Life is probably my favorite album by them. Dial 666 and Nekrofelia are sweet songs.

[AIRIC]

I don't like Nekromantix.

[Iron Bug]

They're better than Tiger Army.

[AIRIC]

Agreed.

[Brain Toad]

Nekromantix are average, better then most American Hellcat psychobilly bands.

[Ghostfire3]

Nekromantix are average, better then most American Hellcat psychobilly bands.


That's not really much considering there's only 3 Hell Cat psychobilly bands: Tiger Army, Nekromantix, and HorrorPops *shudders at HorrorPops*

[Brain Toad]

Hellcat supports a bunch of ****ty psychobilly bands though.

[Ghostfire3]

Well, they've supported 12 Step Rebels and they're pretty good.

[AndreTheHyena]

I still like Tiger Army.

[Ghostfire3]

I still like Tiger Army.

Me too.

[AndreTheHyena]

Word. BTW, I think it's spelled "bandito". And to be proper Spanish, it'd be "Bandito Psycho", though I'm not sure if "psycho" is a word in Spanish.

[Ghostfire3]

But I always thought it was "Bandido" and I just looked up "Bandit" on a translator and it says Bandido.

Bandido means outlaw, villain or bandit.

[AndreTheHyena]

Yeah, I know, and I've always seen it spelled "bandito". I dunno, I could be wrong, but I doubt it. The Spanish language is much more likely to be wrong than I.

[Brain Toad]

I recommend to Juan and anyone who wants some jazzy punk:

Saccharine Trust

[SantaDuJuan]

Sweet, I sure hope you have them on Soulseek.

Edit: They're cool.

[Vismund Cygnus]

The Quakes were really boring live!
Next Sunday Nekromantix are here, though, and hopefully they'll be better.

[AndreTheHyena]

Nick, Griff, Sketchy, whoever else, check out the new Springsteen album, The Seeger Sessions. I got it for my birthday, and it blew my mind.

[Ghostfire3]

Some one recommend me a good Artificial Peace album, plz.

Also a D.O.A. album

[Brain Toad]

Hardcore 81 for DOA. Never heard the other band.

[Spaceman 3]

The Clash, Black Flag, 7 Seconds, Bad Brains

Haha. I love 7 Seconds' cover of "99 Red Balloons." Thanks for recommending the Bad Brains too. I'd been looking for something like them for a while.

[Ghostfire3]

Yep, no problem.

[johnsomp]

Anyone have recommendations for punk bands with gravelly-voiced front men like Lawrence Arms or None More Black?

(other than most of the Chicago bands)

[Iron Bug]

Kid Dynamite has the same singer as NMB. Also try Hot Water Music.

[AIRIC]

I recommend Steriogram to all punks.

[sketchyjoe]

Who're they like?

PJYSI some for me.

[AIRIC]

They're great and punk and stuff.

I'm at gram's I can't YSI.

[Flagjacket]

Small Arms Dealer.

[Liebensaft]

For fans of Latterman, I strongly recommend Yo Man, Go!. I just saw them both tonight, and YM,G! is touring with Latterman. They sound pretty similar. I'm sharing them on slsk now.

[Flagjacket]

I haven't listened yet Jo.

[Liebensaft]

It's good. I just listened. I think they sounded better live, but I still like the recording. Live, they sounded a whole lot like Latterman.

[Jersey's Best Dancer]

Can anyone recommend any '88 hardcore bands like Gorilla Biscuits?

[AIRIC]

Youth of Today?

[alsiewalsie]

Could someone please give me some names of bands or albums of some good american ska punk. I am looking for punk bands with a decent brass section. I would be most grateful, thanks

[Ghostfire3]

Streetlight Manifesto
Catch 22 - Keasbey Nights
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Big D & The Kids Table - Good Luck

[Flagjacket]

I think ska bands should have hip hop intros to all their songs. Cause they could wit hthe bass and horns and drums and what not.

[vote me]

i want some bands along the lines of

Subhumans
Crass
Flux Of Pink indians
Zounds ect Please ???

[Flagjacket]

Icons of FIlth, A//Political, basic anarcho stuff.

[skavid]

Omega Tribe.
KUKL (not really like those other bands listed, seeing as Bjork is in the band)

[dropkickstreetpunk]

Rudimentary Peni, The Epileptics, etc.

Any bands that sound like The Pist that I may not know of?

[SantaDuJuan]

i want some bands along the lines of

Subhumans - Conflict maybe?
Crass - Hit Parade
Flux Of Pink indians
Zounds ect Please ???
Ehh, defiently check out Crass label.

[AIRIC]

Vote Me check out Citizen Fish and Culture Shock. They have Dick from Subhumans but they're reggae/ska bands. Both are awesome.

[SantaDuJuan]

If I was looking for Screamo what would I check out?
Else than Heroin.

[Flagjacket]

Funeral Diner. I Hate Myself, not too screamo but they rule.

I reccomended Small Arms Dealer to everyone.

[DaveToopes]

If I was looking for Screamo what would I check out?
Else than Heroin.

Saetia, Hot Cross, Circle Takes The Square, City of Caterpillar (highly recommended).

[SantaDuJuan]

Okay okay!
Diner and Hate I know, but arn't Circle Square Emocore(or whatever the hardcore kids call it)?

[Anxious]

Get the death to false screamo comp.

[SantaDuJuan]

City of Caterpiller is awesome.

[Brain Toad]

If I was looking for Screamo what would I check out?
Else than Heroin.
Screamo isn't a genre, it's all just emo. But if you want the chaotic stuff, similar to Funeral Diner then definitely go for Ampere, Gospel, The Kodan Armada, I Would Set Myself on Fire For You, In Tongues, and Cowboys Became Folk Heroes

[Jessizzle]

Dont forget Notorious S.K.A for ska label ;)

i want bands along the lines of the Crack Rock Steady Seven bands,
any suggestions?

[Axe Slingin' Mutha Reppin]

No-Cash

[Jessizzle]

No-Cash
yeah yeah, i know them allready. the only bands i can think of are, No-ca$h, Antimaniax and the CRS7 bands.

[Axe Slingin' Mutha Reppin]

The Infested

[Axe Slingin' Mutha Reppin]

Okay okay!
Diner and Hate I know, but arn't Circle Square Emocore(or whatever the hardcore kids call it)?

Circle Takes the Square - As the Roots Undo is absolutely amazing. Check that out.

[alsiewalsie]

Thank you, I appreciate the help

[delegado zero]

Can anyone recommend some good bands with spanish vocals? All I know of is Union 13, Los Crudos, that one casualties cd, sektacore, and that's pretty much it.

Oh yeah and, uh.. does anyone know why I can't make a new thread? I'm guessing I need a certain amount of posts or something but I don't know.

[Flagjacket]

Hahaha! En Del Linea Frente! Hahahhahaha

Anyway, try out Tropiezo. You can't make a enw thread until 24 hours, but event hen, don't make threads asking for bands cause this is the thread you ask in or else we set you on fire, got it?

[obese_breasts]

To Iron and Wine fans, or fans of any folky indie stuff, I recommend Adam Arcuragi and his self titled record.

I have it on slsk

[asdf]

To anyone who's into crazy ska/jazz type mixtures (say frank zappa meets blue meanies meets the residents) and doesn't mind stuff in other languages, Please, for the love of all that is awesome, check out some Uz Jsme Doma. They are a fantastic Czech band, that I know many of you would like. I've got lots on soulseek if you're interested.

Sin Dios, Desobediencia Civil, Los Muertos De Cristo, Los Skarnales, Crimines De Guerra. All I can think of at the moment. I asked J the same question not that long ago.

[Liebensaft]

Alright. I'm looking for bands that sound very similar to Iron and Wine. They don't necessarily have to be as good or cool, but I want something with a very similar sound. Just a nice mellow acoustic with some background instruments, and a very soft, soothing voice.

Suggestions?

[obese_breasts]

M. Ward is good, Adam Arcuragi, Nick Drake, and, if you don't have it, I HIGHLY recommend you get "In the Reins" the Iron and Wine and Calexico collaboration.

NIck Drake's Pink Moon is probably the closest you will get to the Iron and Wine sound.

[Liebensaft]

I have "In the Reins." It's great.

Thanks you very much. I figured if anyone, you would know.

[Rise Me Up]

Someone reccomend me something similar to They Might Be Giants.

[asdf]

Lemon Demon. It's the same kid that did those animutations so many years ago. http://www.myspace.com/lemondemon

[Rise Me Up]

Cool, thanks. I like it.

[asdf]

Here's another band that you might like, although all their music is videogame themed.

http://www.myspace.com/super8bitbrothers

[Rise Me Up]

Haha. Cool.

[sketchyjoe]

Everyone who likes the Defiance, Ohio, Hi Ho, Six Shooter!, On The Strings Of style of punky-folk music (with a chilled-out edge too) should check out the album A Hook For Every Fish in the Sea by the Bookends.
