new punk?

[saxx]

I'm a huge fan of punk, but alot of new punk is really making me barf. Whats with the "im not fu%&ed up than you" thing. Its really anoying me, not just top40 punk *don't even touch that* but pretty much all new artists who call them punk now in general.

I've developed a new rule of thumb when looking for 2002+ punk. If they say they are, they are most certainly not. Compared to Johnny rotton and the ramones, nobodys pumping out good stuff anymore

Well I'm not sure if you got the memo, but punk is dead.... sorry it had to be done like this.

[thats all folks]

I'll be honest with you, I love his music, I do, I'm a Michael Bolton fan. For my money, I don't know if it gets any better than when he sings "When a Man Loves a Woman".


...oh wait your talking about punk.....sorry my bad....

Bad Religion comes out with something good every once in a while, but other than that, yeah - nothing compares to old school Dead Kennedys, Suicidal Tendencies, TSOL, Anti-Flag, Black Flag, etc.

New punk != punk at all.

has anyone one ever checked out Common Rider if you like Operation Ivy then you'll probably dig them too.

Why not just listen to the extensive amount of old stuff?

Maybe even expand your little emo horizons.

*stifled laugh*

Those are fighting words man, not even kidding. I'm pretty serious about my music taste. I do listen to exensive amounts of old stuff, extensivly. Though old punk musicians don't put out good stuff like they used to. Hence after i listen to all the dead kennedys albums 10 times i get bored and want to move on to the sex pistols, then i listen to all there albums, then i move on to the ramones. (this is my punk cycle, i have many more). Then after i've listened to the ramones, black flag, sex pistols, the dead kennedys etc I want more. Thus i look for new bands, who might be singing about something a little more current (the vienam war is not current). But there is none that i can stand to listen here, so i posted here waiting for somebody to suggest something good.

By the way i listen to everything (no mainstream anything) from classic rock, indie, hardrock, metal, to trance,techno, and house. So my "little emo horizons" aren't "little", if you, claiming to listen to more music than me (thats what your doing by the way, i assume you have experiance calling my horizons little) please show me your "huge Non/emo horizons".

Was there really any point to that post, i assume there was.

Number 1 "little" : downgrade someone
Number 2 : Pretending i don't listen to as much music as you, if not more

I get really hot and bothered when anybody says anything that insults my music taste, and calls me "emo" as a deragotry, whilst calling me "little" I'm sure you'd get offended too

It's true not a lot of good punk has been made after 2002. In 2003 There was The Distillers' Coral Fang and Rancid's Indestructible. Vice Squad came out with an album that year too but I haven't heard it, they also made one in 2006. F-minus is pretty good, their latest album was in 2004. If you are into the Irish Punk, Dropkick Murphys came out with a new album last year, it was pretty good.

I've gone on a little quest to find new punk since I am a fan as well.

Here's some bands with recent material that looks promising (Haven't heard any of these so I don't know if they are good):
The Unseen
Rezurex
Tiger Army
12 Step Rebels
Total Chaos
Agnostic Front
Roger Miret and the Disasters
U.S. Roughnecks

Most of these came from Give em the Boot IV which came out in 2004 itself.

Yay! Punk's not dead!
