Fun trivia: Frank Turner, most famous for indie-type folk-rock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ-D4jmkUiQ initially got his start in a short-lived but awesome band called Million Dead that jumped between post-hardcore and well, regular hardcore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YuEquLDoN4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AaKDdQcEmw

Literally A Person posted:AF Records showcase. Anti-Flag, Against All Authority, Pipedown, other band. If we're not counting local shows of course which I think I went to about a billion of before this. I'm like 99% sure I saw this show at a local VFW. The Code and The Virus were there too IIRC. e: hot take - Anti-Flag still kick rear end, this is from January: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QESfmrpcHGw

It's not much a movie but the 1994 Charlie Sheen movie "The Chase" had a hell of a soundtrack. Multiple NOFX and Rancid songs, Bad Religion, Rollins Band (Henry cameos as a cop in the movie), Offspring, Down By Law. The closing credits was the first time I ever heard Please Play This Song On The Radio by NOFX

I thought I liked emo back in the day but I guess a lot of it was actually pop-punk? Stuff like the Get-Up Kids or Senses Fail. Does Glassjaw count as Screamo? Thursday? It's all pretty nebulous in my head. Not to mention that I listen to a lot of metalcore which tends to invoke the term "screamo" a lot on my head - a lot of those bands do the switching between high-pitched clean vocals and screaming/growling a la Thursday.

Fall Back Down is about the breakup experience as a whole, but Tropical London off the same album is specifically about Brody leaving him while they were in her home city:quote:If you lose me, you lose a good thing Also a reminder that Tim Armstrong is a reedy ex-heroin addict and Josh Homme is a towering monster of a man so I would imagine Tim probably felt even more negged than the usual dumping. IMO that album (Indestructible) was the last really good Rancid album. The second self-titled Rancid album was their best one, and Matt Freeman is still the nastiest bassist in punk rock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOIYDlzwvy4 Snow Cone Capone fucked around with this message at 17:41 on May 21, 2020 |

Also here's a scorching hot take: Agnostic Front sucks. I'm sure Roger Miret is a wonderful person but them and that entire NYCHC genre all sounds exactly the same and was absolutely infested with macho Long Island-accent bros back in the late 90's/early 2000's when I was still going to shows.SilvergunSuperman posted:I'd have bet good money this was going to be maxwell murder. I legit remember that my initial reaction when I first heard Axiom after buying the CD at Tower Records and driving around listening was "how the gently caress did he outdo Maxwell Murder"

Phlegmish posted:Nah. Early NYCH is pretty good, although I prefer Warzone over Agnostic Front. My favorite NYCH band is probably Youth of Today. Gorilla Biscuits is good, too, though that's more the generic type of hardcore. I can't comment on anything before the mid-90's really but by 98-2000 you were getting very similar crowds at Madball shows and Godsmack shows

It was magnificent. There was one that was very whiny but also had kind of a weird psychobilly vibe to it (Crash Love) that I thought had some decent songs, but everything after that, yeah, agreed.

Phlegmish posted:When people say the Sex Pistols were a boy band, they mean that they were literally managed like a boy band by Malcolm McLaren, not that they weren't hardcore or underground enough. It's this, their entire fashion style and attitude was planned out by McLaren and Vivienne Westwood (McLaren to make money off the band, Westwood to make money off the fashion).

Phlegmish posted:Yeah. Holy poo poo, they talk about Streetlight Manifesto and nothing else, despite the fact that they haven't even actually reunited if I read the 5,000 posts correctly. If you post something about two-tone or whatever it's just crickets chirping. SM's still together they just haven't put new music out for years and years, and it's a running joke that they never actually will. They do kick rear end though! I think there's plenty of two-tone etc. love in there, it's just an incredibly dead thread (much like ska itself amirite  )

But you can play those upstrokes and horns angrily, very angrily. fixed, say what you will about Streetlight but nobody else really sounds like them, that's kind of why ska kids never shut up about them

To cap off the ska discourse, The Rx Bandits got better and better as they lost horns - though when they dropped them entirely they lost some of the spark. They're not a punk band but they really kick rear end.

Too much and your sweet ska song sounds like the Lawrence Welk show too little and you're just a really confusing punk band. ok so I really do love Streetlight and all but this intro makes me cackle like a madman, it's so painful (the rest of the cover is pretty loving awful too, tbh) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_6KTZgayxg

Also, I dunno how much they count as punk, I'm pretty sure they were on Epitaph for a while? but The Hives loving own, and are easily one of the top 3 live bands I've ever seen. Just unbelievable charisma and crowd interaction from the whole band. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4d_xk7sSIbU
