Well, one of the core ideas of punk is that anyone can do it. So sure a lot of punk bands aren't filled with the world's most technically proficient musicians. And rawness is also a vital part of punk but don't let that fool you into thinking these people are not skilled musicians. A lot of 7 Seconds basslines are pretty sick for example. And Bad Brains, one of the bands Sonace linked to above, are proficient jazz and reggae musicians in addition to playing punk rock.

You are confusing "clean" with "good". Music doesn't have to sound clean to sound good.
