Punk Appreciation Thread

[Fawkes]

From Oi! to anarcho to hardcore, we shall all honor the great entity that is punk-rock in this thread.

[Le Libérer]

I had first hand experiences with some of the greats. MC5, Black flag, X (Xene Cervanka)Dead Kennedys, and Suicidal tendancies.

[Revolucija]

Here it was: Dead Kennedys, Pekatralatak, Youth Of Today, Minor Threat etc.

[Pawn Power]

Well, the music is shit but I still enjoy some of it.

[Robespierre2.0]

Does Atari Teenage Riot count? They're anarchists, and are more into shouting polemics than the actual theory behind class struggle, but they fucking rock.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ab7Dksqfnw
^ And this here is fucking awesome.

[Revolucija]

Yeah, ATR!
Also check Alec Empire solo project, it's great.

[jaffe]

no, digital harcore does not count. A few bands that I listen

oi

angelic upstarts
infa-riot
oppressed
business
oi polloi
red alert
brigade flores magon
blaggers

nederpunk (old dutch punk)
gepopel
indirekt
Larm
Balthazar Gerards Kommando

crust/D-beat

from ashes rise
tragedy
pisschrist
massgrav
mob 47

77 punk

damned
stiff little fingers
clash

hardcore

dead kennedys
black flag
bad brains
gorilla biscuits
millions of dead cops

and much more...

[Dem_Soc]

I like the dead kennedys, I would say that their music helped me devolop a more skeptical view of worldwide capitalistic politics and politicians. Rate the Clash as well.

Just started getting into crass recently from hearing a few of thier tracks too...

[jaffe]

this wensday dutch tv is broadcasting a documentary about crass.
I think they're hippies though :P

[Dem_Soc]

They were/are anarchists I believe.

[jaffe]

yeah, some of them still live in a commune close to London. Nevertheless they are hippies ;)

[Louis Pio]

Yeah appreciate punk, just a shame it deserves to die (and if you don't understand that reference I highly doubt you listened to alot of punk).

Add Jerry's Kids to the list, anybody into early harcore should check it out and Spermbirds btw, some of the best punk to come out of Germany.

(btw I find it insulting for anybody to put Crass on the list ;) )

Crass were anarcho pacifists. Formed in an arty squat in London by Steve Ignorant & Penny Rimbauld. Steve's stayed on in the punk scene whilst Penny has gone to jazz.

Crass were and still are massively influencial in the punk scene, and beyond,many bands getting thier 1st break on thier label or labels of bands influenced by them. Conflict, Flux of pink Indians, even Bjork [back in the days when she was into punk] recorded on the Crass label. The Subhumans were going to record thier 1st album in thier studios but it was fully booked so they recorded on Flux's label, who also got thier 1st recordings done by Crass. Before Crass it was rare for bands to record and distribute thier own records. Even rarer for them to sell them for cost or less, look back at any number of U.K. punk albums from the 80s and you'll see in the top corner a pay no more than £XXX that came from Crass.

Crass records are rough are pretty bad due to a lack of production and musical skills, but go on you tube n look for the vids of their songs being done by Conflict with Steve Ignorant on vocal and tell me that aint punk.

Just cause you don't like something doesn't stop it from being punk, I hate Skrewdriver and thier ilk don't stop em from being punk though. I don't like when bands sign to majors, don't stop em from being punk either. Punk is a broad church, everything from Crass to Generation X, The Ramones to the Dead Kennedys and not all appeals to everyone.


Legalk linkie to Big A Little a - Conflict & Steve Ignorant doin old Crass tune

[Pirate Utopian]

I like the Sex Pistols, Crass, The Ramones, Bad Brains, Sham 69, Richard Hell & The Voidoids, The Clash, Dead Kennedys and The Misfits.

Does proto-punk count?, ifso, I'd add: MC5, New York Dolls and Velvet Underground among others.

I think punk means very different things to a lot of people. Therefor discussion is nice but worthless.
I do enjoy Conflict 'Ungovernable force'
I think it's one of the best punk albums ever made.

[Sickle of Justice]

i've been meaning to ask this: what makes the ramones punk? i'm NOT a fan of them, but i've heard most of they're songs, and they sound to me like a pop/rock band.

The Ramones were part of the origonal punk scene back in the mid 70s New York along with the likes of the Talking Heads, Blondie, etc.. Mclaren just kidnapped the name for the emerging British alternative scene. The british scene just took it further and redefined the name. The Ramones can claim to be the 1st ever punk band playing from 74, but there's loads of arguing over that, but theres no doubt of the influence of the bruvvers on the London scene, they played london in 75 and almost everyone who was in the 1st wave of brit punk was in the crowd.


Paul Fox, guitarist of the Ruts has died earlier this week. Raven, bassist of Killing Joke too :(

[Sickle of Justice]

i guess, yeah. i dunno. i just find it really annoying when kids today are all like "YEAH! RAMONES! PUNKROCK!" when they only know about 1 punk band, and everything else they like is poppy shit.

and even though a lot of REAL punx are big ramones fans, by prolonging the ramones influence on the punk scene, the perpetuate the myth that punk bands sound like sped up rockandroll,(i'm looking at YOU, Casualties!) thus helping people confuse bands like Sum 41, All American Rejects, etc, with punk.

[Fawkes]

The Ramones were one of the first bands to simultaneously speed up traditional rock and roll while simplifying it, thus laying the groundwork for punk rock to come. To be honest, I'm not that big of a Ramones fan as I find them too poppy for my taste.

High 5 on those choices. I totally forgot about Richard Hell. Bowie was proto-punk too, though labeled Glam along with T.REX. RIP Bolan. And of course Iggy and the Stooges. these are the guys I listened to growing up.

[Nique la police]

. Ramones is punk but barely, they started some shit but they arnt as sick as richard hell. Hardcore is the way to go, also some Leftover Crack and Choking Victim and the unseen.

[Palmares]

CRASS are hippies? Big fucking woop. Just as hippie as any political punk/crust band these days.

Anarcho-punk

... nah. i prefer the crust that stayed crust, ex: behind enemy lines, aus rotten, wolfbrigade, icons of filth...

[Louis Pio]

Nah the problem with that line of crust is it's extreme conservatism, everything stays the same.
And the fans at least from my experience here in Denmark seems to be the same and many musicians in the scene is crap. I think it's why the more talented moved on other directions, like some of the guys from Carcass and Napalm Death. Boring to stay the same all the time

[Sickle of Justice]

while i agree with you in principal, i just can't really get into grindcore. i like it a lot, but i can only listen to it maybe one song at a time before i stop enjoying it and start being shell shocked.

[Louis Pio]

Yeah it is quite hardcore listening to it, I still enjoy it sometimes but listen mostly to other styles. Carcass Necrotism album stands for me as one of the best examples of different styles in that genre crossing over. Stil some contemporary Crust is ok, I just think it's hard to find those bands I can really get into

[Ultra-Violence]

Crust is the shiznit but nothing beets the old school punk jams youthbrigade anyone? :D

[AAFCE]

Crust is alright, but I prefer listening to the same song for around 4 days straight then moving on.. Im still working on Monster Mash

Behind Enemy Lines, Leper, Euluthros, Nausea.

[Louis Pio]

Extreme Noise Terror

Btw I would recommend a band that isn't Crust, Rövsvett (asssweat) from Sweden. Formed in 1983 they are still going strong to this day, quite good hardcore.

Flux were cracking, Conflict did a good show despite sound issues, and Steve Ig n friends were darn good too

[Ander]

Crust is probably the biggest garbage out there. Same goes for grindcore and a lot of the hardcore out there these days. It&#39;s good if you want your ears to be brutally attacked but other than that, it&#39;s shit.

I&#39;m not really into punk so much anymore though.

Don;t really want to talk about wahat is punk,oi,hardcore or whatever classification peole want touse.....but I can&#39;t understand why anyone wold calll DK hardcore and not punk. Hardcore is like Black Flag or the Circle Jerks. I&#39;d say it&#39;s less political and a little faster or harder. Just my opinion.

in my opinion.... wait no, no, hardcore IS faster. And a lot of hc bands are political but a lot of punk is also political.

i happen to enjoy having my ears brutally attacked by shit. grind and crust are probably the most extreme form of punk, and they are decidedly not for everyone. when i first heard crustpunk (i beleive it was aus rotten "the system works for them" or nausea&#39;s "fallout") i was initially shell shocked by it&#39;s agressiveness (which is saying something, seeing as at the time my favorite band was Minor Threat, not exactly mellow.) but i grew into it....

what kinda hardcore dya mean? 80s hardcore punk? modern hardcore (as your name would imply)?

[Sprocket Hole]

I really evolved through punk in the past few years.

I went from strictly punk, along with bands like Sabbath. Then I moved onto straight 80's hardcore from all 'round. Then I got into crust, then grindcore and power violence. Then recently into sludge and doom metal.

Basically all the extreme shoot off's of punk, and then the extreme shoot off's of those off shoots.

[MilitantAnarchist]

The late 70's through to 80's anarcho scene was fucking great, and alot of those bands are still amazing today....
Anyone who likes punk should check out The Restarts, they are absolutely brilliant... great message, great sound, great blokes...

[Pirate Utopian]

I see the posts I made in this was when I first dabbled in punk.

Now my favorite (post- and/or proto-)punk bands are:
Sex Pistols, PiL, The Pop Group, Devo, Iggy Pop, Pere Ubu, Patti Smith, James Chance, The Residents, Alternative TV, Captain Beefheart and Cabaret Voltaire.

[MAVA]

def Bad Brains

[Cynical Observer]

i don't listen to alot of music so i've only heard about 20% of these bands, but NOFX's American Errorist was the first CD i ever bought so they have a special place in my heart :D

[MAVA]

Sublime

[STJ]

The Clash, The Sex Pistols. The Damned, The Dead Boys, The Heartbreakers, The Ramones, The Germs, X, Reagan Youth, The Adicts.

[Punk-Guevara]

NOFX,Pennywise,Bad Religion,Rancid...

[Искра]

The Clash are the best.

I like different "types" of punk.
Like noise punk: Confuse, Sieg Hail (not nazi band), Chaos Destroy, The Wankys, The Swankys, G.A.I.
Or metallic punx: Death Side, Poison Arts, Amebix
Raw hardcore: 80s Finland, Sweden, Italy and Yugoslavia
77 style punk
D-beat: Disclose, Äppäratus, Zudas Krust etc

I don't like 80s USA and I dont like anarcho punk (it's to liberal to listen) nor crusties (their music smells like them).

Used to like SLF, their current line-up has a reactionary **** in Ian McCallum. Jake Burns has had to apologise for this ****s antics before.

Early Joy Division/Warsaw are class too.

[MilitantAnarchist]

Punk is the greatest music EVER, it saved my life... only thing is its not a threat any more, and we would of got away with it if it wasnt for those pesky capitalists......
but punks not dead, no matter what may people want to say, punk spirit will never die because it's always been there, the hippies had punk spirit, it just took about 15years for it to come out in an extreme way and someone to call it 'punk'...... Punk isnt just a word with a dictionary meaning, its much more then that, its about individuality and liberation, aswell as much more that if you can just mock it then you dont understand it. i dont no if i was just suppose to give a generic list of bands like everyone else, im just giving punk some appreciation......
But if you want a list then my fave bands at the moment have to be The Restarts, Eastfield, Contempt, ICH, The Usual Suspects, Drongos For Europe, Sonic Boom Six, The Nags, Rejected, Poundaflesh and Certified. I recomend you should check them all out.

D-beat is the way of drumming and not all crust bands have d-beat. Crust is more like mixture of metal and punk, and it's very confusing genre to me. I don't like the most of "crust" band and I hate "anarcho" punk thing in crust. It's to idiotic :)

Anyone into dc area post hardcore like malady, city of caterpillar, gospel, transistor transistor, black eyes and also stuff like 1905, pg.99, orchid, yaphet kotto, majority rule ect?

I hereby assert the superiority of Oi! to all other forms of punk, followed closely by hardcore and crust.
