ITT: We personally recommend bands to each other.

[AndreTheHyena]

Here's a novel idea. We all know each other pretty well, or well enough to know, for instance, that Shannon is an alcoholic, Nick is a nerd, I wish I was a cowboy, Eric is a big fat stupid, Griffin has the best tatse in music (besides me), Jessica likes stupid Canadian ska bands, etc.

So we will personally suggest bands/albums/songs to each other and we'll all be happy and in love.

Nick: The Dirty South by the Drive-By Truckers. Trust me. It's the greatest album of all time.

IHateHate (Juan?): As Good As Dead by Local H. Trust me. Grunge that doesn't suck, great lyrics.

Griff: Anodyne or No Depression by Uncle Tupelo. Trust Me. Revolutionary, had the genius idea to combine their love of Johnny Cash, Neil Young, and Southern rock with the boredom and energy of Midwestern punk rock, a la Husker Du, in the late 80's/early 90's, single-handedly ushered in "alt. country".

And so on.

[gastery6]

Good Idea, but I dont know if it will work in the long run

[AndreTheHyena]

Shut up, dissenter.

[Anxious]

Good idea, but nothing comes to mind right now.

[Brain Toad]

I find this thread interesting, so I defy the closing mod and reopen it!

And I've already listened to The Dirty South, Andre. It was extreamly good. I listened to Uncle Tupelo and it was alright.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

Quit copying me Andre.

[dropkickstreetpunk2]

Nobody knows me to reccomend me music. and I've been on here for a year.

My names Chris.

[evildemonlemurs]

ive been on here for a few years, but no one knows me. im jesse. i like to keep an open mind to most things, so ill practically listen to anything you reccomend if it sounds like it will be an interesting listen. i have a very wide taste in music and can recomend a lot of bands if you like.

[AndreTheHyena]

Everyone needs to listen to the Ducky Boys.

[SactoUnited]

I agree.

[Biscuit_box]

I think everybody should listen to The Dangerfields. I gave to Nick on Soulseek one time. I'm sure he hasn't listened to it but the rest of you should get it off him.

[Anxious]

And to Andre I reccomend the Mekons, if you already havent heard them.

[AIRIC]

I recommend Bear Vs Shark to Cheesewhiz

[Anxious]

What do they sound like?

[AIRIC]

Indie/punk/emo type thing. They mix many different genres.

[Anxious]

Cool. I think ill download some...

[Brain Toad]

I think everybody should listen to The Dangerfields. I gave to Nick on Soulseek one time. I'm sure he hasn't listened to it but the rest of you should get it off him.

I listened to them, they were okay.

I also reccomend Bear Vs. Shark to Dom.

[Anxious]

I have it on my comp, I don't feel like listening to it right now. I'm too caught up in the Fall.I will listen to it today though. Oh yeah I also Reccomend The Fall- Live at the Witch Trials to Nick.

[victimofreality]

I recommend Bad Religion to Nick because he is gay.

[SkaRobotArmy]

everyone should listen to Insult To Tradition (www.purevolume.com\insulttotradition) and he's probably heard of them but Kith should check out the vagabonds?

[evildemonlemurs]

I recomend the Residents to anyone. They are most definetly the weirdest band I have ever heard. Personal favorite albums are Duck Stab and the Commercial Album.

[TakeWarning]

I recommend Murder By Death to everybody.

[Saberpunk]

Ive been away for awhile, but i recommend Stuck Backwards to everyone

[Biscuit_box]

I recommend Murder By Death to everybody.

Yes as do I.
I also recommend Forward By Death (The band not the DK song!)

[RetiredAt21]

I recommend that everyone goes to my Vincent Price's Orphan Powered Death Machine thread and watch that video.

[asdf]

I recommend Bear Vs Shark to Cheesewhiz
Bear vs. shark played around where I live recently. I didn't see them, but I've heard good thing about them.

[asdf]

I recomend the Residents to anyone. They are most definetly the weirdest band I have ever heard. Personal favorite albums are Duck Stab and the Commercial Album.
Great Albums. I've always loved the residents. I was just listening to tunes of two cities for the first time in a long time. I forgot how much I loved it.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/asdf23/eyecostume.jpg This is me dressed up in my residents costume when I went to see them in Chicago a few years back.

[AndreTheHyena]

And to Andre I reccomend the Mekons, if you already havent heard them.

I've heard them, and they're great, but thanks anyway. To you I recommend Man Man. I don't remember their website, but they're on Ace Fu, so you may check the Ace Fu website: www.acefu.com

I recommend Murder By Death to everybody.

If you like Murder By Death, to you I recommend Cursive, and if you dig Cursive you may even dig a little Brand New.

[minorbrockthreat]

recomend some thrash bands bitches, like DRI, bones brigade, municipal waste, what happens next, spitting teeth, tear it up, knee deep in Sh it, Shtuff

[Brain Toad]

Andre, you may like Ani Difranco for your folk tastes. And anyone into folk/anti-folk should also check her out.

And Dom, I didn't like Live at the Witch Trials, I liked the other album I have by them though. Witch Trials sounded like Crass.

[Vietnow]

Witch Trials sounded like Crass.


I'm in.

[Brain Toad]

I'm in.
They aren't anarcho, or political, their music just actually sounds like Crass.

[YOURESORAD]

I recommend everyone listen to

City of Caterpillar
Isis
Mogwai
Mare
Pelican
Cult of luna
mineral
sunny day real estate
rites of spring

[StruckEverywhere]

To anyone with even a remotely good taste in music, listen to NMDS.

[TakeWarning]

If you like Murder By Death, to you I recommend Cursive, and if you dig Cursive you may even dig a little Brand New.
Yeah, Cursive are awesome. I prefer Murder By Death though.

To anyone with even a remotely good taste in music, listen to NMDS.
You have an unhealthy obsession with them.

[SantaDuJuan]

Andre, you may like Ani Difranco for your folk tastes. And anyone into folk/anti-folk should also check her out.

And Dom, I didn't like Live at the Witch Trials, I liked the other album I have by them though. Witch Trials sounded like Crass.
Hit Parade sound A LOT like Crass.


Yes, my name is Juan.

[StruckEverywhere]

You have an unhealthy obsession with them.

Nah.

Sup Juan. Also, Juan is ghey.

[AndreTheHyena]

Yes, my name is Juan.

Are you gonna check LH out? Yes?

Andre, you may like Ani Difranco for your folk tastes. And anyone into folk/anti-folk should also check her out.

Man, I'm sorry, but I hate Ani.

[Brain Toad]

This rec thread works better then the current one. The current one is just a huge band list. This is more personal and may work better, but will probably be spammed. But I like it.

[AndreTheHyena]

It's working so well because I'm so handsome.

[Brain Toad]

I love this thread so much, it will be added to the rules as the 'official' recommendation thread. Basically it'll keep running like it has been, people recommending bands to each other based on their tastes or generall just whoring a band. Spammers will be banned and such.

Rep++ for Andre for making an awesome thread.

[AndreTheHyena]

Woohoo, it'll be the second time I've gotten rep since the new rep plan. Thanks, buddy.

[Brain Toad]

Thanks for creating a good thread.

But enough of this fellating, back to recommending.

I recommend Good Clean Fun for everyone.

[TakeWarning]

.

I recommend Good Clean Fun for everyone.

As do I.

Can somebody recommend me some good thrash bands? At the moment I listen to Municipal Waste and Slayer.

[pedro durruti]

I recommend The Slackers to everyone that doesn't listen to them

[obese_breasts]

To andre and anyone else interested in the folky stuff, listen to Two Gallants.

[TakeWarning]

I second listening to the Slackers.

[AndreTheHyena]

Can somebody recommend me some good thrash bands? At the moment I listen to Municipal Waste and Slayer.

Mastodon.

They aren't thrash per se, but they have some thrash influence (and toured with Slayer) and completely rule.

[TakeWarning]

To andre and anyone else interested in the folky stuff, listen to Two Gallants.
Yeah, they're good.
Mastodon.

They aren't thrash per se, but they have some thrash influence (and toured with Slayer) and completely rule.

Alright, thanks.

[Kithkin]

everyone should listen to Insult To Tradition (www.purevolume.com\insulttotradition) and he's probably heard of them but Kith should check out the vagabonds?

Already do:)

I recommend everyone listen to
I recommend The Slackers to everyone that doesn't listen to them
I recommend Good Clean Fun for everyone.


Bad newbie, mod and veteran.

Personal. It's in the bleeding thread title.


Anyway, ummm...

Peter and Ska Robot Army should listen to Filabuster. They are on Amped 2 for the x-box and are very good.

http://www.indiemonkey.com/reviews/eh/filibuster.html

Free songs (in RA format)
http://www.digimag.com/music/cdr/filibuster/index.htm

[pedro durruti]

Busted :(

Ok, Dominic, you listen to the Blue Meanies. I don't think you listen to any ska, and you like more artsy music, but also like punk, and they are pretty different ska. They aren't necessarily artsy, but they aren't a typical ska band, and most of the times they aren't even a ska band.

Trying to download Filibuster now, but first I have to install a new version of Real Player

[Anxious]

Cool guys, I'll check out all of your reccomendations tommrow when I'm at home doing nothing.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

Nick you should listen to M. Ward, if you don't already.

"Fuel For Fire" or "Four Hours in Washington"

[AIRIC]

As do I.

Can somebody recommend me some good thrash bands? At the moment I listen to Municipal Waste and Slayer.

Exodus, Anthrax, Testament.

[Sid]

I'm not good at recommending bands.

[obese_breasts]

yeah Sid, every single one you have recommended was complete crap.

[Anxious]

I listend to Bear Vs. Shark, and I thought it sounded like pretty bland indie. Nothing to hold me intrest anyway. Not bad.

[Brain Toad]

Nick you should listen to M. Ward, if you don't already.

"Fuel For Fire" or "Four Hours in Washington"

I like them, really relaxing.

[shane italian]

Sid, listen to Tarpit.

www.myspace.com/tarpit

[evildemonlemurs]

recomend some thrash bands bitches, like DRI, bones brigade, municipal waste, what happens next, spitting teeth, tear it up, knee deep in Sh it, Shtuff
DRI is my favorite band, so I will inform you of other great crossover/thrash bands.
Stormtroopers of Death, pre-Blind era Corrosion of Conformity, Dr. Know, Bad Brains sorta, Toxic Narcotic, Method of Destruction, Verbal Abuse, Cryptic Slaughter, Cro-Mags

[evildemonlemurs]

As do I.

Can somebody recommend me some good thrash bands? At the moment I listen to Municipal Waste and Slayer.

Testament, old Megadeth, Anthrax, Vio-lence, old Corrosion of Conformity, Celtic Frost, DRI, Overkill, Exodus

[AndreTheHyena]

Nick you should listen to M. Ward, if you don't already.

"Fuel For Fire" or "Four Hours in Washington"

Yo, Pat, check out the new My Morning Jacket cd, M. Ward plays guitar on one of the tracks.

[RCVA]

Municipal Waste. To anyone.

[BlastFunk03]

To anyone who remotely enjoys AFI, Tiger Army, Misfits or Danzig listen to:

Son of Sam

[AIRIC]

Municipal Waste. To anyone.


I second this.

[Kithkin]

To Fat Pete:

Dr. Hourai - http://www.myspace.com/drhourai

[pedro durruti]

Peta- Filibuster are awesome, kind of like Ska Cubano.. if I remember correctly. So if you haven't listened to them before, I suggest you do so

[Brain Toad]

Municipal Waste. To anyone.

I don't like them, at all.

[Kithkin]

I'm only going to reccommend music to other Peters

[shane italian]

I don't like them, at all.Are you acting like Sid or are you serious?

[Brain Toad]

Are you acting like Sid or are you serious?
I seriously don't like them. Didn't know Sid has ever said he didn't like them.

[shane italian]

I seriously don't like them. Didn't know Sid has ever said he didn't like them.I thought you did...?

[insalubrious]

i recommend Gong

[Sid]

I've never even heard Municipal Waste, so Shane is f'ucking nuts.

[RetiredAt21]

Hahaha, Sid, I like your avatar.

[voodooglowskulls]

I know ive said this on other threads, but i recomend:

shipwrecked kenny (myspace.com/shipwreckedkenny for the new song, vocals arent done yet, but ull get the idea, or purevolume.com/shipwreckedkenny for old stuff...all quality sucks)

spooner d (purevolume.com/spoonerd)

mr. p. lonka and the jedi knights (myspace.com/mrplonka)

all local bands for me...all quality sucks, none in real studios, just crap stuff from mixers and computer equipment...=p still good though.

[KingOfSka]

Reccomend me some, hmm...Ska perhaps?

I've been getting into lots of Ska/Punk lately. Bands like The Flatliners, Against All Authority, The Rudiments, and other bands that I didn't used to like as much. Give it a go.

[Berserker!]

NICK: listen to American Beauty by the Grateful Dead but you probably already have

Or anything by Runrig and maybe even 500 miles by the Proclaimers if you're really into the Scottish stuff.

You should have heard John Fogerty by now too.

[Iron Bug]

I don't have any Fogarty solo, only CCR stuff. I love them. The Fogarty's lived on the same street as my grandfather and my grandfather was friends with one of them.

Don't think I've heard that Grateful Dead song.

[evildemonlemurs]

for any fans of early punk or proto punk, i reccomend Rocket From the Tomb. They are the band that first did Sonic Reducer, and from their demise was sprouted the Dead Boys and Pere Ubu, the latter of which I also reccomend, although they are quite a weird band.
for horror punk or misfits fans, check out Calabrese, they are a really good horror punk band of brothers.
for prog-metal fans i suggest Fate's Warning and Spiral Architect.

[Kithkin]

I don't know exactly what you listen to, so I'll just spout out a few:

Howards Alias (think UK Rx Bandits), The Impossibles (get Anthology), The Stray Bullets (close to the Flatliners/AAA), Jaya the Cat (like a slightly slower Flatliners/AAA) and The Arrogant Sons of Bitches.

If you listen to all of them then I'll suggest some others.

[AndreTheHyena]

Juan, you son of a bitch, did you ever check out Local H?

Dom, you son of a bitch, did you ever check out Man Man?

[Anxious]

Dom, you son of a bitch, did you ever check out Man Man?
Yes I did. The mp3 on that site was nuts, I really like it. I haven't been able to find anything on soulseek by them, I may have to actually buy a cd.

[AndreTheHyena]

Hurrah.

In that case, I'm going to suggest the Ex-Models to you. They're like Devo plus Melt-Banana. Check out the album Zoo Psychology, or the songs "Sex Automata", "Zoo Love", and "Hey Boner".

[TheNowhereman42]

I recommend that everyone goes to my Vincent Price's Orphan Powered Death Machine thread and watch that video.

I can't find it :upset:

[StruckEverywhere]

GRIFF: Losing Face, they're a local band from Aucks sort of melodic hardcore and sound really similar to AWS, ****ing awesome.

Somebody recommend me something.

[Excursions]

Sam: Under One Banner. They are like melodic posi lol funny hardcore. Good stuff. Also try No Ok or Not Quite Right.

[Iron Bug]

Someone reccomend me something that sounds like Rumbleseat, if anyone has something like that on Soulseek letting me download it would be awesome.

[Jessizzle]

For anyone who likes music. Punk, with some ska( not much in the new tracks) The Heatskores

I've been looking for bands similar to the Flatliners and AAA, thanks Kith. :)

[Jessizzle]

Heard 'em.

I get to see the flatliners livvvee and you guys dont!!!!!
Well iv only seen them like ummm 5ish-8ish times. But hey. better then you .

[Anxious]

Hurrah.

I'm downloading it. :D

[KingOfSka]

Kith, I checked out all those bands, the two I liked the most were The Arrogant Sons Of Bitches and The Stray Bullets.

Could you reccomend me some more similar bands?

[40 oz 2 freedom]

Someone do me

[StruckEverywhere]

/Unzips pants

Well, bend over then.

[shane italian]

www.myspace.com/annihilationtime

For anyone who likes stoner rock.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

www.myspace.com/annihilationtime

For anyone who is not a total homo


I second this

[AndreTheHyena]

Someone do me

Try some...Buck 65? Canadian folk-rapper, though "folk" in the Johnny Cash/Dust Bowl Ballad type of mindset, not like Nick Drake or anything.

Anything off of Talkin' Honky Blues is pretty great, especially "Roses and Bluejays", "Wicked and Weird", and "Exes". I dunno, you may not like his voice, it takes some getting used to.

Oh, ****, and definitely check out Bonnie 'Prince' Billie's I See a Darkness. It'll change your life.

And did you catch what I said about My Morning Jacket previously?

[Brain Toad]

Sam (Anti-Prefix), I recommend Oi Polloi to you if you have no listened to them.

[Kithkin]

Kith, I checked out all those bands, the two I liked the most were The Arrogant Sons Of Bitches and The Stray Bullets.

Could you reccomend me some more similar bands?

Well, if you hadn't heard of the Arrogant Sons of Bitches, then Bomb the Music Industry. That's the singers solo side project and some of the songs are simply amazing.

They used to have every song free on their website but ran out of bandwidth. The myspace.com/bombthemusicindustry has some of the newer songs.

Actually, turns out they have them back on the website. Awsome. http://www.bombthemusicindustry.com/#


Ummm....

Sonic Boom Six are a UK ska/hop band that has lyrical content similar to the Stray Bullets. It isn't the same music, but you'll probably like SB6.

Also, the suicide machines. I assume you listen to them, but if not, have a go. Cause they really are quite good.

[albert_bass]

Bomb the music industry are so great...



To whom may care, I recommend:

If you like pop-punk, for the 100th time check out Bigwig and Bad Astronaut.

If you like ska check out Ska-p

If you like punk, melodic hardcore check out Satanic Surfers

If you like celtic punk check out Celtas Cortos and their album Gente Impresentable.

[RCVA]

Someone recommend me something.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

And me please.

Excellent, that should keep me busy for a while. And yes I already listen to the Suicide Machines. ;)


If you like ska check out Ska-p

I've been looking for anything by SKA-P for ages, still haven't found anything.

[Flagjacket]

If you like ska check out Ska-p

If you like punk, melodic hardcore check out Satanic Surfers

I second the Ska=P reccomendation, but the Satanic Surfers sound like Rise Against to me.

Someone reccomend me some street punk or Riverdales type stuff.

[Im going to Disney World!]

Dr. Hourai - http://www.myspace.com/drhourai

Wow, theyre really good. I really like both their songs shadow arm and inverted gas attack, Ive probably listened to them both about 10 times in the past hour.

[albert_bass]

I've been looking for anything by SKA-P for ages, still haven't found anything.

Add me on soulseek. albert_bass.

SS used to be muuuuuuuuuuuch better than RA.

[AndreTheHyena]

The Riverdales rule. I recommend the Huntingtons, the Ducky Boys, and Beatnik Termites.

[Subvert_bassist]

If you like punk, melodic hardcore check out Satanic Surfers
They are definately not melodic hardcore; they're lucky if they're considered just plain hardcore.

[albert_bass]

Yes, they are pop-punk and melodic hardcore.


There's no way they could be plain hardcore.

[RCVA]

He's right.

[Berserker!]

Sam: Under One Banner. They are like melodic posi lol funny hardcore. Good stuff. Also try No Ok or Not Quite Right.

Hahahahaha.

[The Great Decay]

Could anyone recommend me some bands?

[Flagjacket]

The Toasters have got a ska thing going. I'd even go as far to call them a ska band.

[AIRIC]

What are you thinking they are not a ska band silly!

[evildemonlemurs]

Recommend me a band like the stooges or new york dolls
Rocket From the Tombs. their stuff is kinda hard to find considering they never released an album during the time they were together, but a compilation of demos, live tracks, and others was released, which i have. they are very good. the band split respectively into the Dead Boys and Pere Ubu, two important bands to the punk scene. Pere Ubu are less known mainly because they are so weird.

[Anxious]

All the bands you mentioned there are good. Pere Ubu have a pretty good cult following too.

[nitzguy]

Bear vs. shark played around where I live recently. I didn't see them, but I've heard good thing about them.
their live shows are f-ing sweet. the lead singer guy is everywhere

[Brain Toad]

To Kiwi Adam I recommend Forward to Death

The personal recs have disappeared from this thread.

[RCVA]

Someone recommend me something.
Anyone?

[AndreTheHyena]

I would, but judging from your avatar, you're into hardcore, which means that you probably already listen to all the scant hardcore bands I listen to. What else are you into?

[RCVA]

Minutemen?

[AndreTheHyena]

Try Husker Du, the Replacements, Pere Ubu...

[RCVA]

Thanks.

[AndreTheHyena]

Griff, check out Steve Earle, particularly his album The Revolution Starts Now. This could go for you too, Nick. Awesome protest country-rock.

[Jessizzle]

Im in the mood for some punk..
Filaments style..or Lower class brats kinda punk.. but not too punk.

[AndreTheHyena]

Anti-Nowhere League @ Jessica.

[SantaDuJuan]

You have bad taste, and you're a girl. You shouldn't count, but since I have mad love, I guess you do.

Haha, k...Peacocks it is.

[fatpunk]

and subhumans for your daily dose of ideology

[skateMASTERbater2]

Check out the Peacocks.
123, the peacocks are awesome.

[AIRIC]

What kind of music?

[AndreTheHyena]

Like, pop-rockabilly, but in a totally good way, with plenty of psycho and punk influences.

[skateMASTERbater2]

their first album is kind of boring because of all the experimental stuff . But the rest is all good and their live act is amazing

[AndreTheHyena]

Their song "Lady's Night" is a blatant rip-off of "Timebomb" by the Old 97's.

[pedro durruti]

Listen to Too Good

[AndreTheHyena]

ihatepersonalhygiene, is your user title a Ween reference by any chance?

[pedro durruti]

No it's a Rudiments reference AndreTheSecretary

[FunknPunk]

ween played here a while ago... i didn't go :upset:... were/are they good?


andre i recommend some good Sibelius and a dash of Kreisler :)

[DaveToopes]

Phish did a good cover of one of Ween's songs.

[AndreTheHyena]

Ween rule.

[DaveToopes]

Yeah, i like them. Do you like Phish?

[Brain Toad]

Ween did an awesome song with Wesley Willis

[AndreTheHyena]

I wouldn't be too sure about that, Nick. It may have been mislabeled.

And no, I hate Phish. I really don't understand how Ween get lumped with jam bands.

[DaveToopes]

I wouldn't be too sure about that, Nick. It may have been mislabeled.

And no, I hate Phish. I really don't understand how Ween get lumped with jam bands.

oh, I've always liked Phish, since my brother was always listening to them. But you're right, Ween doesn't sound like any Jam band I know of.

[AndreTheHyena]

That's cool. A lot of my friends like them, so I'm sure they have some redeeming qualities.

[straycat101]

to ANYONE that listens to psychobilly, or horror punk (Misfits) listen to my band http://www.geocities.com/braintermites/BrainTermites.html

[AndreTheHyena]

To Griff: Check out My Morning Jacket circa It Still Moves. It's like the Drive-By Truckers on acid.

[Brain Toad]

I wouldn't be too sure about that, Nick. It may have been mislabeled.

And no, I hate Phish. I really don't understand how Ween get lumped with jam bands.
I'm pretty sure it's them, if not, its someone who sounds like them. It's about sad and happy Wesley, I have it on soulseek. Wesley also mentions Ween in his parts.

[AndreTheHyena]

In that case, rock over London.

[obese_breasts]

Rock on Chicago.

Weaties Breakfast of Champions.

[Iron Bug]

Anything that sounds like the Briefs?

EXPLODING HEARTS. DO IT.

[GenuineImitation]

This is my first post in the punk forum. I mainly listen to rock and metal, but when it comes to punk, I listen to the ramones, sex pistols and clash (among a few others).

What are some good bands that I should check out?

[pedro durruti]

Stiff Little Fingers, X-Ray Spex, UK Subs, The Stiches

[GenuineImitation]

Stiff Little Fingers, X-Ray Spex, UK Subs, The Stiches


Thanks alot. I'll check them out.

[pedro durruti]

Whoops, The Stitches*

[KingOfSka]

Reccomend me bands that sound like Minor Threat.

[Kithkin]

Reccomend me bands that sound like Minor Threat.

Kid Dynamite covered a Minor Threat song. I don't really listen to Minor Threat, but I do know Kid Dynamite is one of the best poppy hardcore bands I listen to:)

[Anxious]

Reccomend me bands that sound like Minor Threat.
Ummm early Black Flag. The First Four Years

[Excursions]

Reccomend me bands that sound like Minor Threat.

The Faith, Urban Waste.

[Iron Bug]

Flagjacket you are god for turning me onto The Exploding Hearts. Awesome stuff.

Now can anybody tell me something similar to Clit 45?

[AndreTheHyena]

GBH do everything the Clit do, except better.

SkaBandit: Check out Dag Nasty.

[Excursions]

Dag Nasty don't really sound like Minor Threat, good band though.

[AndreTheHyena]

I think they're pretty close while still retaining everything that makes them unique and great.

[3_times_round]

Looking for some more bands to listen to...

Favourites include- Strung Out, Lagwagon, Rise Against, Pulley, Less Than Jake, Diesel Boy, Lawrence Arms, No Use For a Name.

Something along those lines. Possibly some Ska-Punk aswell.

[AIRIC]

Go to the Official Forum Band List, and look under pop-punk.

[AndreTheHyena]

No, this thread is supposed to render that one obsolete.

3_times: Check out Good Riddance, Against Me!, and Bracket.

Nick (and anyone else who is interested): Check out William Elliott Whitmore, he's an amazing punk rocker-turned-folk/blues singer. I saw him opening for Murder By Death, and he stole the show with just a banjo. We drank whiskey with him afterwords. He's got one of those voices that sound like he's been alive since the Civil War, but he's a young guy.

[Sid]

Somebody that knows my music taste suggest me something. Oh and somebody that has an opinion i actually value.

[AndreTheHyena]

Sid, I confess I have no idea what you listen to. You'd probably like Al Green, though. I know I do.

[Tyler]

someone recommend me some of this folk-punk stuff I've been ignoring for so long please.

[Brain Toad]

someone recommend me some of this folk-punk stuff I've been ignoring for so long please.

Start with:
Against Me!
Defiance, Ohio
This Bike is a Pipe Bomb

If you like that move onto:
Ghost Mice
Operation: Cliff Clavin
O Pioneers!!!
Mischief Brew/Erik Petersen

[TakeWarning]

Someone recommend something that sound like Kid Dynamite or Good Riddance.

[DaveToopes]

The Saw Wheel is pretty good. Most of the bands on PIX that i have heard are awesome.

[SantaDuJuan]

No offense, but I thought it was just Saw Wheel. No THE infront of it.

[Billy]

To you, I suggest Kill Your Idols and None More Black. If you like Kid Dynamite and Good Riddance you'll love these bands, if you haven't heard them already.

[Pirate Satellite]

Plan-It-X is really your one-stop folk-punk shop. The ethics behind it are so cool, too. I love PIX. I also recommend that you check out the Violent Femmes if you haven't already, they sort of sound like folk-punk before there was such a thing.

I think Andy is really the only person here who really knows my taste. I need a good punk album very badly. I don't really listen to that much punk rock these days at all, except for the obvious guys, (Rancid, Bad Brains, Minor Threat, The Clash, Conflict, Sex Pistols, Aus-Rotten, etc.), and I'd like to go back. If anyone can recommend a very creative punk rock album to me, I would love him or her forever.

[Anxious]

Circle Jerks-Group Sex
Dead Kennedys-All Of them
Minor Threat-Complete Discography
Black Flag-Damaged
The Exploited-Punks not dead

Could Someone recommend some more hardcore albums along those lines ???

[DaveToopes]

Gorilla Biscuits - Start Today.

[AndreTheHyena]

Nick, check out Ween's 12 Golden Country Hits album. It'd be a lame parody if it weren't so damned good, musically and lyrically.

Griff, if you dig that Old 97's album you have, check out their album Wreck Your Life.

Eric, what'd you think of Head Wound City? They're kinda meh in my opinion, but I think I just need to give it a good listen. You may like Tusk, they're a pretty brutal grind band featuring dudes from Pelican, and they have a concept album, Tree of No Return, about a cursed tree and getting raped by bears and stuff. And, like I said, you may like Daughters' Canada Songs.

[AIRIC]

Andrew I really liked it. It really reminded me of Blood Brothers, even though I can't really stand them anymore, I liked the similarites.

[jcs497]

I'm sorry if there's an official recommendation thread in the punk forum, I searched and didn't find one. I'm sorry if this is a taboo subject here that recieves nothing but flames, I'm not a punk regular, I wouldn't know.

That said, what is the best/most standout psychobilly album in your opinion. I feel like getting one or 2 for christmas. So far, all I have in the genre is the first 2 Tiger Army CDs (and I have a feeling these aren't exactly considered deep into the genre).

Thanks for any help.

[Scuba_Steve]

Phenomanauts.

Either of their albums (Rockets & Robots or Re-Entry) are amazing pieces of work.

[EightMilesHigh]

The Cramps - Songs The Lord Taught Us
Anything by Reverend Horton Heat

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

Tiger Army
The Cramps
Koffin Kats

[Gnarmageddon]

Tiger Army
Nekromantix
Demented Are Go!

Or go here (http://www.wreckingpit.com/psycho/bands.php3).

[RetiredAt21]

The Cramps or the Pits. Those are my favorites.

[AndreTheHyena]

That said, what is the best/most standout psychobilly album in your opinion. Blah blah blah.

Thanks for any help.

If you want mad cred, and good primer into psychobilly, try the Meteors, they're probably the first proper psycho band. As far as albums go, try for Wreckin' Crew.

Other good bands to introduce you are Demented Are Go, Three Bad Jacks, the Quakes, Nekromantix, etc.

And for some genre clarification: The Cramps are a good proto-psycho band, but don't be expecting the revved-up sound you may be accustomed to. The Reverend Horton Heat isn't true psycho either, but rather just punkabilly, and the Phenomenauts are basically just rockabilly, maybe punkabilly.

[Sum to Infinity]

Ok. This is my first post so no one shoot me.
I reccomend- The D4.
They're a New Zealand band that's been around for a while but just undergone a major revamp.
I saw them last night when they were support at the Foo Fighters concert.
But then again they're not really punk.

[we laugh at danger.]

you're supposed to recommend bands to people who ask for recommendations really. That's why it says "personally".
