Some punk bands from my youth, (early 90s), and geographic region, (Australia) that haven't been mentioned yet: Frenzal Rhomb - A lot of fun to see live, and they picked a fight with Jackie O and Kyle Sandilands. WHich is always cool. BodyJar - Not as hardcore as any of the others mentioned, but I liked them. The Meanies - A little earlier than my time as a punk teen, but still a fun band. A little like the Ramones insomuch as they learned 3 chords, played them fast, and stopped at that. Nancy Vandal - Disregarding TISM, (who are most certainly not "punk", and about whom there was a rumour going around my school that our year 10 maths teacher was the bassist), my favourite band of all time. A heap of fun to see live, they have never taken themselves too seriously, always rocked hard, and have silly album names to boot. I got my arse signed by the horn section of this band once, and on a separate occasion talked with the trombonist for 20 odd minutes about David Lee Roth, Chevey Chase movies, and cocaine. Coz I am cool like that.

Listen, I know there have been garage rock bands playing 'proto-punk' since 1937 or whatever (and what about the Ramones?? etc), but to me the first proper punk was made by British working-class kids who picked up random instruments and proceeded to play them horribly, after seeing the Sex Pistols live. Boots, mohawks and/or braces. I know, I despise Brits as much as the next guy, but it has to be said. You have forced my hand, I will now post some classic British punk and Oi! generally from 1977-83 (the UK Subs and the Violators on this page were a good start). For the most part, they were also horrible people, but for entirely different reasons. Abrasive Wheels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hhgJ1bo_EI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_xls53OOnU Angelic Upstarts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqbsW5hE8v8 ^ Another timely song, Liddle Towers was murdered by the police (spoilers) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtZE4vL88j4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFBOklPxv8k 4 Skins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9czHiUlxqCY Do you remember the days in 69? Seeing all the skinheads standing in a line Foaming at the mouth, Waiting for a fight High boots, cropped hair, what a fuckin sight ^ We've probably all heard this song or a cover of it somewhere, it's profoundly dumb in many ways, but the catchy aggro can't be denied. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oxicw1-7dOw Blitz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_a_HhPJhmME https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skHEnHY5NGY ^ You'd recognize that bassline at the start anywhere Cock Sparrer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZVtb_y9TwU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7Wy9oUD-DM Cockney Rejects: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_riKXE86Nlk ^ I've always felt like this is the unofficial Oi! anthem, appropriately titled Oi Oi Oi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWnUNp8QEpc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lREDv6uU7o ^ Continuing with the police theme Crass: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Srkm5oWFwiQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8lZUxHX8e8 GBH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSR7_aR2VhI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGlRSYU2ais Red Alert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRW5vKTDZD4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdjIXPkRqzk Sham 69: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GQMIXGRjaw ^ You all know this one, was also covered by a bunch of bands including 7 Seconds and Rancid. Sing along! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OS6me3rTNM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9qgQDXKJbo Stiff Little Fingers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4C5e346QvRQ ^ Seems like an upbeat little song until you realize it was written at the height of the Troubles. Always had a soft spot for this one. What we need Is an Alternative Ulster Grab it and change it, it's yours Get an Alternative Ulster Ignore the bores and their laws Get an Alternative Ulster Be an anti-security force Alter your native Ulster Alter your native land https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pbxsn8wAIoA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKsN5cj9ehs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrocrwBVyAs The Business: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_gZB5mYDoE ^ If you play bass, this is a bassline that is simple to practice but will still improve your finger placement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JluZayrdWgY ^ This is what The Business has to say about ProperCoochie's NYC art punks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Xehgu9zl14 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUg-ujHanFc The Oppressed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqwCjV7nu20 Oh we're the people that you hate, The underclass that you create, The hooligans out on your street, Thugs you pray you'll never meet, it's true. Oh we're the violence in your town, The riot that you can't put down, The hooligans that you call scum, The ones who never ever run from you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVo5mrBKow4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7RNDlelLeY ^ AFA Song, unfortunately still relevant. UK Subs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBJxS21CRdQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMODsbPUejI ^^ Two very relevant songs again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M30hNtgFPlQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocR3Gz72LCs Vice Squad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LwNDtxN4Ys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVgNbIMXYw8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n99_fk1MZAg I don't often listen to these bands these days, since I already played the poo poo out of them as a teenager who was first getting into punk, but sometimes when I get sick of listening to overproduced, post-ironic Epitaph and/or third wave bands from California, it's good to return to the primitive basics.

Ive always thought Sham 69 was a better example of early UK punk than the Sex Pistols. I get that the Sex Pistols came first, but they were basically the worlds worst boy band. They didnt really have much to say other than the occasional shock song like God Save The Queen and were better known for their antics during interviews than anything. Sham 69 actually had something to say and said it, they also made music that was actually pretty good.

They also did some really good songs that showed off their pub rock roots like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP3tkqx0U5M Its a shame how so much of Oi music got coopted by Neo Nazis despite pretty much every band involved in the genre making it clear they wanted nothing at all to do with that poo poo. It makes the genre hard to talk about with people who arent particularly familiar with it. Just another example of why fascism sucks.

Musically, I don't care, I'll continue to listen to any good skinhead band that isn't made up of Nazis or otherwise too far to the right. In terms of aesthetics, yeah...it sounds really stupid, but I'll avoid putting on my boots just after I've had a haircut (I always ask the barber to get it as short as possible). I'm too much of a pussy to go for the skinhead look in public. I always get angry when I think about that. The skinhead subculture ultimately comes from Jamaica, gently caress you, it's not for Nazis.

Literally A Person posted:I thought that's what boot laces were for??? 99% of the public knows jack poo poo about the history of ska, punk, and skinheads. They're not going to be able to interpret your color-coded laces. All they see is a skinhead (=bad).

You don't see so many boneheads these days as you see proud boys. and yeah, the laces thing was very scene specific, if was ever actually a thing. some scenes the red meant commie, in others it meant like, idk blood of your enemies or some wack poo poo.

The only music I've ever been able to find from them is the one track on the Not So Quiet on the Western Front, and these tracks from a rare cassette only compilation:  Apparently they released a demo in 1981 or 1982, but I've never been able to find a copy.

I can't even calculate how much time I spent researching and searching record stores for unpopular 70's-80's punk music in the pre-internet 90's. The search was part of the fun I guess, but I gotta say that YouTube (and the internet in general) has made finding this stuff about a million times easier.

Yeah afaik it was running off NYU servers until someone realised that it was running on NYU servers. Could be wrong, but iirc the dude said it was too busy and had too much data that hosting it himself would suck. MRR told me in 2016 that they were 2orking on porting it over to their site, but it doesn't look like they ever finished.

albany academy posted:I love oi. You must be the punk brother I unfortunately never had, I went on a French punk YouTube bender a year or two ago, and those are some of the bands that came up. Komintern Sect I already knew, but the other two were solid discoveries. Here's some more: Les Collabos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mmatBinRN4 Kochise (if I know you, which I don't, these guys will be right up your alley): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZwvMd5jbqI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQLgTZgWbF4 They have more good stuff but there aren't a lot of individual songs on YT. Most of their albums are on there, though. Haine Brigade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHwDYf9qUC4 ^ This is a really cool song, I don't even know what to call this sub-subgenre of wistful long-form Oi!, Camera Silens has songs like that as well. Warrior Kids are one of my favorite French punk bands. It's just three nobody eighties kids from the garbage-ridden city of Marseille coming up with their own awesome take on Oi!, it's...good-natured and melancholic somehow. Don't let the audio quality fool you, these guys could play (although the singer couldn't sing): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jQcXEB6-hY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcrY-Yo3wXk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPhpT9dGngI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VC6oKoyJAK4 I'd say we should hang out, but you're probably not even on the same continent.
