Good punk rock bands

98GreenV6 · 09-13-2003, 12:52 PM

Hey there everyone. For those of you that like punk rock, I wanted to start a thread of the bands everyone likes, recommended CDs, great concerts, etc. I'll start this thread off.

First off, I went to Warped Tour 2003 in Long Beach, CA. It was pretty sweet. Got to see bands like Sum 41, The Used, Matchbook Romance, Rufio, and Thrice. It was overall a great show. Too bad the bands only paid about 25 min each.
This week I am going to two concerts. I am going to see Bowling For Soup at the Trubador. I don't like them much, just going because my gf enjoys their music. The concert I am looking forward to is a week from tomorrow (Sunday the 21st). The bands playing will be The Used, Story of the Year, Yellowcard, and a few others. This will be an awesome show.
Here are some recommendations for bands to check out.
The Used - Buy their CD...great CD
Matchbook Romance - album comes out the 23rd
Story of the Year - debut album out on the 16th
Thursday - Check them out
Yellowcard - new CD is great...older stuff is good too
Starting Line - real good pop punk band
New Found Glory
Autopilot Off
The Movielife
RX Bandits
Allister
Senses Fail
Rufio

Make any recommendations of bands and CDs and great concerts you been to. I wanna find some more good bands.

voodoo96743 · 09-13-2003, 01:38 PM

Can't forget the old school; Bad Religion, Pennywise, 3rd Eye Blind. I also like The Living End, Unwritten Law, Flogging Molly, and Dropkick Murphys.

Yes you got me. Korn (or just one of their guitarist) was the one person who invented dreadlocks.

who said i couldn't drive it? i can, its just not legal.
jaywalking is illegal, have you ever done that?

I've driven my mustang alone buddy, i just dont go on cross country trips or to places where there are many people. More cars = higher risk of some ass clown wrecking into me and preventing me from getting my license until I'm 18.

MichaelB21 · 09-13-2003, 02:10 PM

All the bands mentioned pale in comparison to Bad Religion.

WHAT THE ****!? Ok, i can admit gettin drunk is sung a lot in about everything.. and somewhat "kicking ass"... but raping women?

ok strike that but u get the point, i didnt literally mean raping women, i dunno

Hancock · 09-13-2003, 03:25 PM

raping a chick or kicking her ass deserves a hanging in my book.

Electricat · 09-13-2003, 03:28 PM

Don't forget the classics!

Sex Pistols
Stooges
Ramones

And my personal fave:

THE CLASH!!!

Strummer and the boys had it going on!

Even our recently departed Johnny Cash was something of a punk, IMO.....(not in musical style, obviously).....but his "I'll do it how I want, **** the consequences" attitude, and the songs about the ugly side of life and disenfranchised folks.......that,s what punk is about at it's core.
