The Worst Punk band out there
 

Alright so I went to a show to see OFF! and RETOX and there was a band playing with them called Autumn Eclipse.

First off they don't have a sound that is remotely close to what you would call Punk They ran around on stage like a group of lunatics and then they have what you could call a token punker in the band on bass with what had to be a foot and a half mohawk running round the club wirelessly with people pouring beers down his throat while playing ok so that could be considered pretty punk rock but the music itself is more on the rock/pop stylings so if you take my Advice when Autumn Eclipse hits your town sit in the bar till they are done.

The Ramones... *runs and hides*

Yeah, The Ramones were pretty average (being quite nice there).

Anti-Flag comes to mind for me.....and Tim Armstrong.....although i love Op Ivy.....i just cannot stand him as a performer and or person

I can't think of any specific names but the worst punk band surely must be one of the dozens of awful local punk bands I saw play in high school and college.

I'm glad that we see eye-to-eye on Anti-Flag and Tim Armstrong. I think my vote has to go to Simple Plan though, the result of years of genetic tinkering and research to create men in their mid 20's with the mindset of a 13-year old girl.

ironically i was watching a documentary/show on the Ramones and the death of Johny....basically i guess right before he died a bunch of people got together and did a tribute concert.....including Eddie Veder of all people.....anyways....Armstrong comes out on stage and just ruins the entire thing with his stupid act....uggghhh he just drives me crazy


another band that kind of gets on my nerves is Fall Out Boy....in all fairness i've not heard to much from them.....but they are on the Jawbreaker tribute album and just raped into submission the song "Save You Generation".....for that alone i hate :)

It's not so much they were bad, even, to be honest. Cause, there are even worse punk bands. It's the fact they become the icons of the genre, and kind of wave the flag for all the worst aspects of it, creating a limited understanding to the genre's actual potential.

Yeah, you are right. That's why I said average. Nowhere near the worst at all, just held in so high regard.

Flipper are the worst punk band. They're also one of my favourites.
