I'm looking for a punk band, one that isn't scream music, doesn't have the whole boohoo look at me I'm evil I cut myself! facade, and isn't too hard-core (I'll decide on that ;))

 

 

 

Anyone wanna help? 8-)

Dead Kennedys.

That's too bad, my favourite punk band at the moment is pretty hardcore. Not in the emo/metalcore sense, but I mean real, original hardcore punk.

Suicidal Tendencies

 

 

 

I know the name sounds 'boohoo' but their music is actually really good. Listen to the guitar and bass but don't pay attention to the lyrics. :lol: They're from the 80's though so it's not like they're emo or anything.

Ohhh and Inside Out.

I've been listening to The Exploited a little lately. They're good, but I'm not a huge punk fan. I like The Clash and that's about it.

 

 

 

If you're open minded enough you could check out Billy Bragg - He has a punk influenced folky sort of sound.

Uh, is Bad Religion punk? If so, that.

Suicidal Tendencies

 

 

 

Zierro must be institutionalized.Its damn hard to spell 8 in the morning.

 

 

 

Is Fallout Boy punk?

Hüsker Dü is all you need.

No it's emo, that should be enough.

 

 

 

:wall:

 

 

 

(no offence ;))

I prefer english music.

The Bloodhound Gang. They helped make punk music. And they're funny.

Fall Out Boy is nowhere close to emo.

You're missing out on one of the greatest bands of the 1980s then.

As self-proclaimed expert on punk music here, I could name you about 300, but I'll try to keep it short and mostly to your specs :)

 

 

 

*Good Riddance

 

A Wilhelm Scream

 

Against Me!

 

Anti-flag

 

Belvedere

 

Bigwig

 

Consumed

 

Descendents

 

Dwarves

 

F-minus

 

H2O

 

Kid Dynamite

 

Lost City Angels

 

Minor Threat

 

No Trigger

The Hollowpoints

Vision

Currently I'm listening to yellowcard, because I heard one of their songs in flatout 2 :).

 

 

 

They are great and the violin has a nice touch. Plus, he's actually singing and not screaming.

 

 

 

Anyone know bands that are much alike with yellowcard?

If you like Yellowcard, you're more likely to like bands such as Fallout Boy than the ones posted so far.

 

 

 

He speaks truth. For once.

 

Ilu :3

For actual "punk"

 

 

 

Angelic Upstarts

 

Stiff Little Fingers

 

Dead Kennedys

 

The Clash

 

The Sex Pistols

Fallout Boy are a travesty to music.

 

 

 

Try Operation Ivy, a brilliant ska punk band. It's the band Tim Armstrong from Rancid was in before Rancid.

 

 

 

Also The Clash and The Ramones are required if you like punk.

actually some of the old Yellowcard stuff aint that bad...like On the Brink. If you're looking for some pop-punk like that try:

 

 

 

Rufio

 

Nicotine

 

Squirtgun

 

Slick Shoes

 

No Motiv

 

Over it

 

Hot Rod Circuit

 

Hi-Standard

 

Homegrown

 

Grey Area

 

Dynamite Boy

 

Best Interest

Failed.

 

Pop-Punk.

 

 

 

I'm not much of a fan of the "normal" punk stuff since its too old for me :P, Just read that had to validate. :\

I don't really think there is anything purely punk that was made in the last decade or so.

 

Also, to me most of the good modern punk is really ska-punk, so that's what I'll reccomend:

 

 

 

Catch 22 (Keasbey Nights is their best album for someone who likes ska)

 

Streetlight Manifesto

 

The Flatliners

 

Operation Ivy

 

Arrogant Sons of [Female Dogs]

 

Rx Bandits

 

Less Than Jake

 

 

 

Now for just any kind of punk:

 

Bad Religion

 

The Descendents

 

Hostage Life

 

Black Flag

 

NOFX <---Best example of punk I could ever show someone

 

Rancid

 

The Offspring

 

Tiger Army

 

 

 

Also, just use Google/Wikipedia and search Rock Against Bush both Volume 1 and 2, you'll get a good list of artists.

The Bloodhound Gang. They helped make punk music. And they're funny.

 

 

 

... :wall:

 

 

 

Anyway... start with Minor Threat, Black Flag, Bad Brains, etc, and move forward from there.

Oh yah i forgot about minor threat and bad brains. :thumbup:

Oh, and since I actually prefer post-hardcore/early emo to punk, I'll recommend some other bands:

 

 

 

Fugazi

 

Embrace

 

Rites of Spring

 

Moss Icon

 

Promise Ring

 

Sunny Day Real Estate (Their album Diary in particular)

 

Shudder to Think

I despise The Sex Pistols, but like The Clash, Stiff Little Fingers and The Ramones.

I got two: Anti-Flag and Flogging Molly. The latter have Irish folk influences, which work surprisingly well with the punky-ness.

 

 

 

Edit: I see Anti-Flag have already been mentioned.
