Other punk PJ fans?

StevieG

Although I have a wide array in musical tastes, punk is still one of my faves. Not a big fan of punk bands of this era, I'm more of an old school fan. It started with the Pistols and The Clash, followed by the second wave bands such as The Exploited, Chaos UK, GBH, The Varukers, Crass, Discharge, etc. I was more of a fan of the British punk bands, the American scene didn't really appeal to me, but I'm also a huge Dead Kennedys fan. Can't forget to mention two of the greatest Canadian punk bands, The Forgotten Rebels and The Dayglo Abortions.

This brings back a shitload of fond memories from my teen years, thanks for starting this thread!!

Love the Cosmic Psychos. And the Hard-Ons...

HA! The Dayglo Abortions are the best! Out of the Womb is one of my favorite albums (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orPb4m3DGBA)

GBH and The Exploited are/were amazing as well. Wattie is one of the craziest punks out there. I saw a documentary recently and he was off his rocker. It's great.

Some of my newer favorites include (and some of this isn't "punk" exactly)

Thee Oh Sees (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFMdCp6iXow). John Dwyer was also in a band called the Coachwhips which was killer live (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbTWFj2SMX8). I saw them during my first trip to Seattle in 2003 and was blown away.

Black Lips (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKzmsgXz5GM)

Pangea (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXMej68YrNI)

Ty Segall (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GutRR9FYTw)

Totally love old uk punk. Rudimentary Peni, Crass, GBH, Discharge, etc. Probably my fav from that era has got to be the Subhumans though and actually anything that Dick Lucas has done. Citizen Fish and Culture Shock both rule too. Just seen Subhumans and The Adolescents here in Brooklyn a few weeks ago and they still kick so much ass live. I have nothing but love for american punk and hardcore too. Been really into The Dicks and Big Boys lately. Had to pass on seeing Black Flag when they came threw town. Fuck Greg Ginn. I would be tempted to see FLAG tho.,,

Dick Lucas is one of the greatest human beings to walk the planet. That man has produced some of the most brilliant music of my lifetime. I met him a few times (mainly at Citizen Fish shows, because he is impossible to talk to at Subhumans shows, at least as far as I could see). We had good conversations about everything from politics (of course) to food. He is so fuckin sweet and cool. Gave me a big kiss on the cheek last time and said "love ya darlin." Never thought I'd get a kiss from Dick Lucas.

My fave CF record is probably Millennia Madness, with Can't Complain being my favorite song. As far as the Subhumans, pretty much anything they've spit out is pure gold.

I'm interested in seeing FLAG too. Have you checked out Keith Morris' band OFF!?

First saw Talking Heads at CBGB on a fake ID . Been attending punk shows ever since . The Ramones , The Clash , The Descendents , and Pere Ubu are my favorite punk bands .

Wow, you saw Talking Heads at CBGB?? Holy shit. LUCKY.

Speaking of CBGB's, there is a new movie coming out about it. I can't decide if it's really stupid, or funny stupid. We shall see I guess.

I was a bit disappointed with the Germs movie, What We Do Is Secret. A little polished for a movie about Darby Crash, eh?

EarlWelsh

Saw FLAG a couple months ago....so damn good!

Descendents, Bad Religion, and a lot of those early SST and Epitaph bands had a huge impact on me. Still my favorites.

Lately, I've really been into Minutemen/Mike Watt, Rancid, and Lagwagon.

hamma

I grew up on 90s bands like the Bosstones, Bouncing souls , Face to Face , Rancid, DKM, H20

I've been a Pearl Jam fan since I was 13 years old (roughly the span of their career). However, Pearl Jam is pretty much the only "mainstream" band I listen to. Most of my friends are appalled that I am so in love with them. I've always been a punk fan, my second show ever was a hardcore show at the Metro in Chicago. I've been into indie garage-y punk forever...and a lot of the bands that have toured with Pearl Jam in the past (Murder City Devils, Sleater-Kinney) were favorites of mine long before they went on the road with them. That is sometimes my defense to friends, "but look at all the bands they tour with? they're awesome! they toured with the Buzzcocks for crying out loud!!" My friends (and especially my husband) are so confused by my taste.

I have searched high and low for other Pearl Jam fans who suffer my same dilemma. Most of the fans I've met are wonderful but...they also like DMB and other commercial bands. I can't relate to them on any music level other than Pearl Jam (which is fine but...). Most of them have never heard of the Subhumans or The Coachwhips. Most of them didn't spend their teens going to insane all-ages shows like Fugazi and Bratmobile.

I'd love to find another PJ friend who has similar taste in other music besides our favorite band. I'd love to find a fellow PJ fan who wants to go see Ty Segall with me and reminisce about the days when you saw 10 different lives bands in one week.

Anyone?

What was the hardcore show you saw at the Metro?

DarbyCrash

Lol, obviously I haven't been on this forum in awhile since I'm just now replying to this! I think it was Rupture that I last saw at the Metro in the 90's. Maybe. I would have to look back at the bookings to remember. That's another thing I love doing is going back through archives...it manages to pull memories out of this forgetful head of mine all the time!

What a cool resurrected thread!

Besides old hardcore like Minor Threat and the misfits and the Meatmen,I really like these bands:

Thee Oh Sees, saw them 3 times now and went in the pit and I'm 40. Best live band out there.

Ty Segall who I've also seen. Great show.

Damaged Bug, COach whips, Warm soda, you know all the Castleface bands.

Holy shit! Ty Segall, Thee Oh Sees -- they all got me in the pit again too and I'm 38! I love love love some of the newer bands coming out. FIDLAR is another fave, as is Parquet Courts. Wow, a fellow PJ fan who likes this stuff too. I am truly amazed. Seriously.

Also, don't want to leave out my fellow ladies The Coathangers. Also like the Growlers.

I need to check those other bands too.

I'm on Long Island. Not sure where you're at?

EarlWelsh

Growing up I fell in love with Bad Religion, Descendents, Screeching Weasel, NOFX, Lagwagon, Propagandhi and basically all of the Epitaph/Lookout!/Fat Wreck catalogs. Minutemen, Husker Du, Dinosaur Jr., all that great SST shit. Gorilla Biscuits are one of my favorites.

Most recent fave, hands down, is Fucked Up.
