:beer:cheers! right back at you william! :)

i actually thought that all kids born in Boston came out of the womb screaming Blood For Blood songs :)

i love this band and i can honestly say that their debut album...Revenge on Society...will always be in my top five punk/hardcore albums lists and by far in the top 20 of all time greatest albums...music is by the numbers east coast hardcore....but the lyrics...fucking perfect

william posted love song....

"they never see the side of life i see, they'll never understand what made this hatred inside me BREATHE!"

and in their calling song Wasted Youth

"i swear to you all right now that i'll never live like the ones who make me hate"

i first heard that in late 1998 and that line still runs chills down my spine

Great band. I always loved White Trash Anthem myself.

" Your world is mtv, spring breaks and ecstacy
You got your hopes you'll get your dreams.
Well that choice wasn't there for me. "

I love their utterly abrasive music to death.

Thanks guys, I have much love for the wasted brew crew & Boston hardcore in general. In an ideal world Blood for Blood would be far more popular than a melody band like Anti Flag, the perfect hard knock band, cheers.

13. L7, Genre (Grunge/Punk Rock/Riot Grrrl) California USA, era 90's

There are a lot of female punk bands out there, and these days they tend to fall into extreme musical categories like crust & grindcore, but for me the queens of punk will always be the girls from California's sleazy sunset strip. Early British fronted punk bands like siouxsie and the banshees were great, but they are more like alternative rock bands by today's standards. It wasn't really until the Riot Grrrl movement of the 90's that straight up female led punk rock came to the forefront, and in my opinion L7 represented the best of the lot.

****list



Fast and frightening



Pretend We're Dead

I keep meaning to listen to this band. I loved hearing "Pretend We're Dead" on San Andreas. I'll probably turn on a couple of those vids in a minute.

L7 is a great band...Bricks Are Heavy has probably not left my immediate attention since i first bought it on cassette

Saw L7 opening for the Beasties at San Diego Sports Arena in 94 right after Hungry For Stink came out. They played almost the entirety of BAH and I immediately fell in love with them. Definitely a great example of females that bring the noise. Mike D even came out and drummed on a few songs, apparently he was really good friends with them.

Yep...that's where I know them from as well. I don't own anything of theirs, but they're pretty good from what I have heard. Plus, women, yay.

I'm guessing it was a close contest between these girls and Hole?

12. Dropkick Murphy's ,Genre (Celtic punk/punk rock/melodic hardcore) Massachusetts USA era, 90's present and adding

The Rumjacks, Genre (Celtic Punk/Punk rock) Australia, era, Present
The Young Dubliners, Genre (Celtic Punk/Punk Rock) California, 90's/00's

DropKick Murphy's:

Yet another band from Janzoon's hometown. Boston's the Dropkick Murphy's have released bar none some of the best Celtic punk rock songs out there, and in my opinion, they aren't just the best celtic punk band out there, they're the best melodic hardcore band as well, if you can call them that. (Love The Pogues to, but consider them more alternative sounding by today's standards)

Rose Tattoo



The State Of Massachusetts



Loyal to no-one





The Rumjacks- An Irish Pub Song

The Bastard already posted the Real Mckenzies & Flogging Molly, so I thought I'd add some different Celtic punk rock bands



The Young Dubliners - The Foggy Dew

One band I never cared for. I would personally rank both Flogging Molly and The Real McKenzies over Dropkick Murphys jock jam version of Celtic Punk.
