Punk Virgin
 

oi whats up fellas

i've come up with a little problem and all i need your help
me being new and all, i need to find some more punk groups besides flogging molly, and dropkick murphy's.
what are some other punk groups that are similar in genre?
or just give me your favorite punk band,

cheers :beer:

Aaron

I really know nothing about them, but have you heard The Real Mckenzies? They're usually where people go next.

Ya i was listening them to on youtube, thanks for the hint, a good old scottish band, they're awesome

Cheers

If you like those two bands you'd probably dig The Swingin' Utters. And probably Social Distortion and Rocket From the Crypt.

If popular means six people congratulations

What? :confused:

What about the Pogues?

Yeah, that's a good one.

Also, the Stiff Little Fingers are pretty good. They're Irish, which I suppose is close enough to Scottish.

Well... my favorite punk groups are the pretty obivous ones. Bad Brains, Sex Pistols.. etc. A little of Nirvana's later stuff (think Incesticide and In Utero) could be classified punk.

Punk? Punk? You want punk? Try Fun House... Iggy & the Stooges...

then check out Velvet Underground

Johnny Thunders & the Heartbreakers - LAMF
New York Dolls - S/T
Buzzc.ocks - Another Music In a Different Kitchen
The Ruts - The Crack
Iggy & the Stooges - Raw Power

Those are five of the albums that got me started on punk, so they're a pretty safe bet for ya :)

hmm my favorite punk bands... gotta be the classics (gotta thank one of my HS teachers for introducing me to his music :p)

the circle Jerks (that was awsome saw em at warped tour last year :p!)
dead kenedys

(replace [dot] with a period obviously)

ooh got some new ones to check out thanks

^^

H2O is definitely one of my favorites. GO was the first punk cd i bought and thicker than water was the second haha.

flogging molly and the dropkick murphys are ok....if you're drinking,

but there are tons of better bands out there, just look for them, its not hard aaron

Yes because a fan of Flogging Molly & Dropkick Murphy's wanting similar bands is really going to want to listen to 20 minute dronefests & out of tune viola playing.

These are unrelated to Irish/Scottish punk. Just good punk.

The Germs
Bad Religion
Dead Kennedys
DOA
The Clash
The Adolescents

Incesticide is actually a collection of pre-Nevermind Nirvana material, in otherwords, their earlier stuff.

And as far as this thread goes, I like punk, but I hate Flogging Molly and Dropkicks, so all of my reccomendations are pointless:)

My recommendations would just be Minutemen, Misfits, and Husker Du. Standard stuff, in my opinion. Offspring's good if you don't mind not getting the whole underground Punk ****, cuz they're fun and easy to listen to.

Yeah I kinda knew that. :confused:

NoFX my friend.

def sex pistols

What about:

Leftover Crack
Choking Victim
Morning Glory

The Dead Kennedy's
Knuckleduster
Bad Brains
Two Cow Garage (though slightly more country than punk)
Mr. Plow
Punky Bruster

A pretty broad selection to choose from. ;)

Also:

The Cryptomaniacs
No-Coast Hardcore
and...Dischord or D.O.A

We Canadians do more than swill beer....:thumb::thumb:

You gotta check out **** Sparrer their real good English Pub rock
the meatmen(1 down 3 to go)
and jerrys kids they wont let you down
Nothin close to scottish punk but it makes me wet myself everytime
Also:
Adolf and The Piss Artists
Angry Samoans
Broken Bones
Flux of Pink Indians
Germs are definantly a classic you need to check them out



And last but not least Reagan Youth<---- anything off New Red Archives is amazing
I will never get tired of that album its amazing


So yeah hopefully that helps you out a little more.

OHHH yeah
Dont forget Gang Green
****ing great punk rock right thurr

You'd probably like The Lawrence Arms, Screeching Weasel, The Latterman, Small Brown Bike, Buzzcocks, The Queers, and Teenage Bottlerocket.

I misunderstood or rather, i was confused with the whole "genre" thing. To me punk is punk. So the thread has listed many good punk bands of recent perhaps try some old punk too like:
Eater
Alien Sex Fiend (The earlier albums)
Wire (Pink Flag)
Slaughter and The Dogs
The Cramps
American Hardcore Comp (for starters)
Old Thraher magazine skaterock comps (also for starters)
and I have faith that you can fill in your own blanks after that. Yowsa...

For Irish, the Pogues. For English, The Clash / Sex Pistols / Nipple Erectors. For American, Voidoids / Stooges / Cramps / Gun Club.

If we're talking 'Irish punk bands that have feck all to do with ireland (Pogues, Molly, Murphies etc) then include The Skels.
If you mean Irish as in 'actually from Ireland' then only two bands - Stiff Little Fingers and The Undertones, though The Undertones lost the plot pretty quickly.

If you're looking for good punk, then I'd say that 90% of whats mentioned on this thread - ignore Velvet Underground, you'll not like them - would be good advice.

I don't have a problem with every single thread in the punk forum being bumped but the thread starter hasn't been back in 2 years.

Use a little common sense bumping this stuff.
