Punk is *** (alternative, hardcore, pop, rock, album)

I haven't listened to them extensively, but yeah, I've heard some stuff. I've been meaning to download some more Black Flag.

Yeah, I definitely notice the similarities.

I am biased but the British bands (G.B.H etc) appealed to me a lot more:

^^^nice track i will definitley check them out

Released in '85. Great track:

That stuff's pretty kickass, Jackhammer. It's definitely skate-worthy.

We could then move onto N.Y Hardcore and so many great bands around '86/87.

Ludichrist-so far ahead of the game. If they released this album in the last couple of years it would be a classic. It is 20 years old...

then we had the political leanings of Agnostic Front but they were no slouches musically either. Big themes require big riffs:

(bonus points if you can find the Thrash Metal link)

Crossover (when merging Metal with hardcore meant more than chucking a few breakdowns into music):

I have a lot of catching up to do don't I?

I'll give some 80's punk a good hard listen once I get through these two Asian Dub Foundation albums.

I do think that skate punk is a subgenre of punk, however, at least musically, if not idealistically.

being on this forum i think your tastes will mature
at least you don't listen to sum 41 and think you are hardcore

I shall say,
Punk on most days; Nay,
but Post-punk; emphatically Yay.
