Mr. T Experience

Uhhh LOL?

Anyone want to recomend me some punk rock bands. You guys don't know me but I've been listening to Senses Fail, Matchbook, etc. bands. You guys probably don't like them but I think they OK. I've been searching the forums for a bit now and haven't really found anything just because theres so many bands and I don;'t know whichs ones to pick. Any suggestions?

Listen to Saosin.

Saosin! =O

I like Saosin a lot, they're one of the ___ bands i like.

My best friend listens to poo like that...try From First to Last, Acceptance, Armor For Sleep, et cetera. You'd like all them.

[QUOTE=DaveToopes]I like Saosin a lot, they're one of the emo bands i like.[/QUOTE]
Oh, come on Ethan, Saosin isn't emo :angry:

^ He beat me to it.

Saosin are a mighty fine band though.

I hate the emo image but I like the music... if that makes sense. Like I can't stand girl pants(unless your riding bmx) and makeup and that ****. thanks alot though. Any others?

If you like Saosin, check out Circa Survive.

Alright I will. I like Saosin. Just one question.... how do you pronounce that? haha Save myself from looking like an idiot. Thanks



btw I was ready to get flamed for posting that I like Senses and Matchbook etc. haha thanks

"Say oh sin" I think.

Saosin sucks as's. And Nick, your reccomndation didn't help at all.

@Ollie_M3: You'd be MUCH better off posting in Pop Punk. Here, you probably won't be taken seriously. Close to none of us like those bands, but I'm sure a lot of Pop-Punkers would like them. Don't get me wrong, I like Pop Punk, as do most of the punk regulars, just not this wave of it. MX is a diverse forum...just look around. Try Pop Punk, you'll be better there. (By the way, this isn't a flame, it's constructive criticism :))

@Ethan: Change _____ to, maybe, Bubblegum Pop Punk?

@Ethan and Billy: I think maybe "Hot Topic alternative" would be a good one.

@Ollie_M3: Yeah, pop punk forums would probably be a friendlier part of town for you. I like you so far though cause you haven't gone all "saosin is punk rock u guyz r just close minede"

@KEVGAY: Saosin is good. YOU'RE the Hot Topic Alternative. Piss off, bra.

@GayveGayoopes: no u

I personally recommend Evan Greer, Johnny Hobo, Erik Petersen and Captain Chaos to Andre.

Johnny Hobo sings acoustic atheist humanist anthems and feeling disenfranchised and alone in modern society and his dislike of 'scenes'. You can find a show [url=http://www.archive.org/audio/etreelisting-browse.php?collection=etree&cat=Johnny%20Hobo%20and%20the%20Freight%20Trains]here.[/url]

Evan Greer sings political folk songs with a personal slant. They're catchy, heartfelt and witty. You can find most of his stuff [url=http://www.riotfolk.revolt.org/member_music.php?id=12]here.[/url] I particularly recommend The Ballad of the Last Six Months of my Life.

Captain Chaos sings warm and touching folk songs that are both personal and public.

Erik Petersen (Mischief Brew) sings wistful idealistic anarchist anthems with fantastic lyrics that can be both inspiring and thoughful. There are shows [url=http://www.archive.org/audio/etreelisting-browse.php?collection=etree&cat=Mischief%20Brew]here.[/url] These are the lyrics to the song Olde Tyme Mem'ry:

When father bought the farm we sold the farm
Took his blood for rustic charm
Sold his ghost as an antique
To the city

Kids today can't hold a spade
Rest in peace your weary trade
In this world there is no place
Such a pity

Well the barman shakes his head and fills my glass
Says we're living in the past
Why preserve a dying craft
And its misery

We sigh and say another modern man
One of property not land
So I'll hold out this battered hand
Will you listen?

Come sit down we're lamenting
About yesterday's sad ending
Bout the water in the whiskey
The brass passed off as gold
Another round we're descending
Into old time mem'ry
About a day when wood was wooden, silver silver, gold was gold
Sweet home was home

So you say you've got a wood stove in your second home
Runs on gas but looks like oak
Hell it even gives of smoke
And glowing embers

There's a quilt on down the wall reads "Home, sweet home"
But lonesome wise, words from Thoreau
And they call me throwback
When I cry "Remember!"

Come sit down we're lamenting
About yesterday's sad ending
Bout the water in the whiskey
The brass passed off as gold
Another round we're descending
Into old time mem'ry
About a day when wood was wooden, silver silver, gold was gold
Sweet home was home

Son these tools are artefacts
Endangered species left its tracks
Lock me up behind plastic glass
In the city

There's no going back for me
This antique's rustic eulogy
Shalled be sold as folk honestry
Such a pity

But I'll never understand
Why they long to use those hands
To build a stead which will always stand
In old time country

But settle for white rooms and hollow doors
Paper ceilings, padded floors
Luxury boxes where you're stored
In what was country

Come sit down we're lamenting
About yesterday's sad ending
Bout the water in the whiskey
The brass passed off as gold
Another round we're descending
Into old time mem'ry
Of a day when wood was wooden, silver silver, gold was gold

Lately I've been addicted to The Aquabats and Big D and The Kids Table. Can anyone reccommend something like these two bands? Sort of a Ska/Poppy/Punk band with lots of silly songs?

Reel Big Fish, The Jamons, and Jeffries Fan Club. Oh and Anal Cunt.

Arrogant Worms are fantastic writers of silly songs. And they are Canadian.

My old friends dad knows them

The Arrogant Worms have some pretty funny songs, but don't expect much of a ska sound. I don't know how to describe it.

Folky and Acoustic

That works. I really dislike "The Lonely Lab of Broken Hearts". It's just too hokey and countryish.

Hey, I have these records and 7 inches saved to my computer.
CRASS:
Merry Crassmass 7"
Reality Asylum (this is a longer edition, not the one on feeding..)/Shaved Women 7"
Sheep Farming in the Falklands/Gotcha! 7"
CONFLICT:
Live at Centro Iberico 7':
tracklisitng: Kings and Punks, Meat Means Murder, Exploitation, Bulls'hit
Broadcast, Vietnam Serenade, Island of Dreams
House that Man Built 7":
Conflict (different recording than the one on the singles collection cd, in my opinion better), I've Had Enough, Wargames, Blind Attack
ANTHRAX - Capitalism is Cannibalism 7"
ALTERNATIVE - In Nomine Patri 7"
THE MOB - No Doves Fly Here 7"
ZOUNDS - Cant Cheat Karma 7"
BULLSH'IT DETECTOR - Volumes 1 and 2 of the Crass Records compliations. Some songs are pretty good, some are far from it. And the recording qulaity on many of the songs on the first one is awful.

Those of you who would like to hear any of these
email me:
ratsinthecity403 at hotmail.com
and I'll send the files over your way. Be warned that they are taken directly off the vinyl so they don't sound perfect.

and if there is a way to hear 7" from Crass records without having to hunt them down and buy them let me know.

If you like the Drive-By Truckers or Wilco, check out Centro-Matic.
