This is a thread to share links to punk bands that you think your fellow posters should check out! Like punk music? Please post some! Curious about punk music? Feel free to check out some links and ask any questions you may have. Try to remember to label any links that you post. Writing something about the bands/songs that you post is also encouraged but not mandatory. Disagreeing with other posters is fine, but try not to make this thread in to a slapfight about what is or isn't punk music. If someone posts a band you don't like, please consider contributing something of your own so that there's some balance. This is meant to be a casual thread for discovering new punk bands and revisiting old favourites.

Here are some random picks to get things rolling: Savageheads - Demo 2013 - UK82-ish Boston punks, they're fast and it rips. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4JWDo5yft8 Discharge - Why - A band so intense and idiosyncratic they spawned an ever-expanding subgenre of clones. Classic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGq8a6burA4 Outcry - Demo 2016 - Female-fronted punk that recalls a mix of older anarcho-punk mixed with the newer school of bands like Dame. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXcnI0q0I9M Negative Approach 7" - Brutal, hostile early 80's hardcore from Detroit. Essential. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weGJ1kfUkkA Pollen - Demo - Pollen are fast as gently caress, brutal noisy punk/hc. Highly recommended. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CopTDw70o6E

Lots of good stuff so far!FactsAreUseless posted:I think Bikini Kill's Pussy Whipped is the best punk album. It's a really good one! Pox are a newer band, very catchy female-fronted punk from New York. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cetlxvfA-jE The Damned - Damned Damned Damned is a loving excellent rock 'n' roll record. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuwEmmUQ_S4 Love them or hate them, Crass had a massive influence on punk music. Crass - Punk Is Dead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcIOTRDswF8 I think their best album was Penis Envy. This is the opening track: Crass - Bata Motel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fu7gVjArz4w Concealed Blade are a hardcore band from Pittsburgh. Fast tempo, throaty vocals, it's good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uguvRn2vqWs Gai - Japanese punk from the 80s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJd7ZjZrHQo

Gutter Phoenix posted:You are on top of this, PinkoBastard! I still haven't listened to all of the suggestions you posted in the previous GBS punk rock threads. I was hoping you'd come back Gutter Phoenix! As always your taste is on point, there's not a dud in that list. I definitely posted this in the previous thread, but it was one of my top demos from last year. Dustbin - Garbage Noize lives up to its name. Raw, ultra-noisy, lo-fi loving puuuunk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoujCJXAIqw Another of my favourite releases from 2015: Dame - Charm School - Midtempo punk that also kind of recalls Joy Division, particularly in that post-punky, "angular" riffing style. Female-fronted, with a synth, but it's punk and it owns. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9y7m2vpDkH8 VOID were one of the greatest of the 80s American hardcore bands. VOID - My Rules https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3P5ry17Oio VOID - Condensed Flesh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w470pMi6Fvw PinkoBastard fucked around with this message at 23:56 on Sep 27, 2016 |

Ramones - It's A Long Way Back to Germany - love this underrated Ramones song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvgjHFJ9p38 Formaldehyde Junkies - 2000s hardcore that sounds exactly like 80s hardcore https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZ5PM5LsQhc Dead Milkmen - Dean's Dream - Dead Milkmen rule https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjtRL2Omz6w D-Clone - Japanese noisy d-beat! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H37-6a5qkKk Fragment - Demo - Halifax noisy d-beat! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZfpmtPzz2E edit: beaten to dead milkmen. they rule.

The Dickies were great. Rock solid band, helium huffin' vocals with really good harmonies. Funny and tight. The Dickies - Nights in White Satin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgBoPc_PdY4 Stiff Little Fingers - Suspect Device - loving great late-70s punk rock from Ireland. This song is seriously sick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKsN5cj9ehs Crisis - PC 1984 - Catchy, midtempo British punk from the 70s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDU-leJ_AKw Dayglo Abortions - I Killed Mommy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvqHWMPN48s PinkoBastard fucked around with this message at 04:35 on Sep 28, 2016 |

I'm liking the varied contributions itt. Thanks for the recommendations! The Queers - Nowhere At All - Sloppy pop punk, before Joe Queer took over the band and they became less sloppy pop punk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c4lvOWScyA Never Human Demo 2014 - Halifax punk, vocals are raw and reverbed, and sound super blown out. I like them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUlM31PSDaw The Pagans - Eyes of Satan - 70s punk from Cleveland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JCOBqPgCTU

Thanks again to everyone contributing music! It's cool seeing all of the different styles and subgenres come together. Urban Waste - EP - Pre-crossover (1982) New York hardcore! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAQ-HoTyvCA Devo - Gut Feeling/Slap Your Mammy Live (1980) - Devo completely owns. This live clip is actually really good, and the quality picks up about a minute in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4z-eIlvNQsA Rudimentary Peni - loving awesome. Their EPs are straight-ish, frantic but midtempo punk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vgk9fI-UJO4 They later took on more of a death rock vibe, and they were good at that, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csGR0qs7nWs

Gutter Phoenix posted:I think that some of Dead Kennedys' best songs come from their first few years, especially when 6025 was still in the band. Their creativity took a nose dive after Plastic Surgery Disasters I agree with that completely! I don't hate the later material but it just can't compare to Fresh Fruit, In God We Trust Inc. and Plastic Surgery Disasters.

frogge posted:Fear - Gimme Some Action I was talking to a buddy about this the other day. I love FEAR, but if they came out today the types of people that would champion them would be the same types who call everyone beta cucks and poo poo. They certainly wouldn't be allowed on SNL, either. Even innocuous bands like The Queers are getting poo poo from the scene now, I don't think that Fear would stand a chance.

I'm gonna talk just a little bit about some not-so-popular albums by The Damned. The Damned -- Music For Pleasure (1977) -- Eclipsed in popularity by Damned Damned Damned (1976) and Machine Gun Etiquette (1979), the band's second record is still a loving exhilarating, uptempo early punk rock classic. In fact, for my money Machine Gun Etiquette ain't got poo poo on this one!! Tight, catchy, and highly recommended. Listen to this album at high volume! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPrj-utwcgU The Damned -- The Black Album (1980) -- The classic Damned sound is still here, but with more complex song structures, fancier production techniques and synth firmly entrenched in the mix. Some people say that this is a goth record, but that’s not exactly true. The Black Album is more like a pop-punk record with excursions in to psychedelic and early gothic rock affectations. I like it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYJIm914IBo The Damned -- Phantasmagoria (1985) -- The Damned would go for broke with the goth vibe on 1985’s divisive Phantasmagoria, and pretty much started sucking immediately after that. There's some anthemic stuff on display here, but Phantasmagoria lacks the implied velocity of the early Damned material. It's big and theatrical, though, and I still really like this album. It's not really a punk record, so I don't know why I'm telling you about it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhohJbL8o68 PinkoBastard fucked around with this message at 10:49 on Dec 23, 2016 |

That Dave Vanian's always been a charmer. Are their new records any good? I heard one of the ones from the early 2000s and just couldn't get in to it, but in fairness I only listened to it one time through.

JnnyThndrs posted:Killing Joke is the absolute epitome of 'underrated'. They came out of nowhere mixing punk and pre-industrial and Jaz Coleman'-channeling-Lemmy vocals and it worked spectacularly. Killing Joke - What's THIS for...! (1981) is very underrated. Their self titled debut is largely known as their best, and maybe rightly so, but I've always been impressed with this one. Heavy, percussive, catchy post-punk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i18QF1KEi2w The Cure's Pornography came out the next year. I'm not sure what was in the air at the time, but here's another gloomy, leaden, strangely infectious post-punk album that's well worth your time and attention. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9RrspCGuhs PinkoBastard fucked around with this message at 08:49 on Jan 11, 2017 |
