Anyone know some good Punk bands?

musicismylife78

I already listen to the main punk bands such as ramones, dead kennedys, the clash, the damned, buzzcocks, fugazi/minor threat, rancid, bikini kill, just got turned on to Me First and Gimme Gimme's yesterday by someone on this board/

Can anyone recommend any other good punk bands?

Pearl Juli

Sex Pistols.

My sister is really into punk. I'll go ask her later, haha.

For now I can tell you these ones: Antiflag, Circle Jerks, Toy Dolls, Replacements, Sham 69, Generation X, Dead Boys, Stiff Little Fingers.

I know there are others but I don't remember the names. I'll find out.

Dead Boys...~

Pearl Jam and toast

tons of great ones..

but the best..

has to be...

The Misfits.

No question for me.

Can't go wrong with the Sex Pistols, Ramones, Clash... any of the old standards. They're like punk's Who, Floyd, and Zeppelin.

Misfits are still the grail though. Hail Danzig.

Independents they are from SC and promoted by Joey Ramone. He said on the Alan Handleman(Sp?) show that they were a great punk band Of all the bands that he cmes in contact with this was the one that he chose. He may have had something to do with producing their record...not sure.

"Formerly managed and produced by the late, great JOEY RAMONE, THE INDEPENDENTS have performed almost non-stop, touring with bands such as THE RAMONES, MISFITS, VOODOO GLOW SKULLS, CHEAP TRICK and THE QUEERS; just to name a few. THE INDEPENDENTS have six releases under their belt and are currently working on a new full length scheduled to be released early 2005."

Pandemic

Black Flag.

Patti Smith and Television can never be left out of a thread like this. You should listen to Horses, by Patti Smith, and Marquee Moon by Television.

transplant

Husker Du - Zen Arcade. It is a semi-concept album about youthful rites of passage. It rules. It will keep you busy for a little while.

Minutemen - Double Nickels on the Dime. You have never heard anything like this.

1984 was a good year.

I listened to punk myself a couple years , now i'm more into rock/grunge and stuff.
But one of my favorite punk bands was anti-flag.
This is an underground punk-band , with very politic songs.
Check them out.

Klumpie

Wire, is the best punk band.

There is this band called bad religion.... if you have not already gotten into them i suggest you start.

sleeplikeadog

Street Dogs and Against Me are 2 of my favorite bands. Check them out. Especially the new Street Dogs album "Fading American Dream".

ediger

Bad Relgion
Black Flag
Bad Brains
Dropkick Murphys
Propaghandi
The Weirdos
The Clash (clearly)
The Ramones (if your in a glue sniffing mood)
THROW RAG!!!
Circle Jerks

I'll post more as I think of them

stay away from the Sex Pistols. They were the Backstreet Boys for 70's punk. Bunch of fucking losers


For anyone here that likes the Clash, check out Joe Strummers solo stuff if you havent already. Its quite good

Anti-Flag is neither underground, nor good punk.

I saw them open for Bad Religion. It was 50% music, 50% "everyone raise your finger in the air and point it towards the south for George Bush". I'm all for hating the president and all, but c'mon, what is "lets all give G.W. a big middle finger!" saying or accomplishing?

soulsinging

the ones that stop trying to play music or sing. they are good for the mercy they show my ears.

No Sex Pistols?? :eek:

Byrnzie

The Saints
Johnny Thunders

potato girl

It's already been said, but it can't be said enough...

The Clash
The Ramones
Dropkick Murphys
Dead Kennedys

Klumpie

Wire - Pink Flag
Wire - Chairs Missing
Wire - 154

And now buy this stuff.

THE QUEERS!!!!!!!!! Just go out and buy "Beyond the Valley" and be prepared to want and go buy the rest of the queers albums. "Live at west hollywood" is one the best live albums I have ever heard.

If you listen to Rancid, I assume you listen to The Transplants, but if you don't listen to them, pick up "Haunted Cities"... the transplants feature Tim Armstrong *Rancid* and Travis Barker *Blink 182*. Also, check out the last Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards album "Viking". Phenominal Album.

I'm also a big fan of Old AFI stuff (Art of Drowning, Black Sails, Very Proud of Ya, etc.). Don't bother with the last 2 albums they made... they are a different band now.

Also, Flogging Molly, Blood or Whiskey, and Dropkick Murphys... for the Irish punk in me.

I dunno if anyone said Social Distortion yet... but if not, get their live disc "Live at the Roxy"... it's pretty much a greatest hits style disc.

And props to whoever put the Independents. My band has played with them before. Rad guys.
Shameless plug for my band (Scars and Stripes):
