Oh well idk, discog has their last album released in 2011 of unreleased material. If they have new stuff then that would be cool.

You raise a notable point: most genres (especially punk) have become more segmented over the past decade or so, and it is important to target your search for bands at a particular scene. Also, as Frownland brings up, punk music often revolves around anti-authoritarian energy and as a result is particularly tied to local scenes and live performances, which are easy to overlook if you are not informed in that community (punknews.org certainly helps). What I find interesting is that punk can blend in with college radio music, which is often low-energy and tame sounding from my experience. On the other hand, college radio is supposed to be an outlet for new music and bands to emerge and become known to an audience who is particularly receptive to non-mainstream forms of music. In any case, I have not found that punk has much of a presence on college radios, other than FIDLAR and Wavves. By the way, I'd be curious to know what your opinions are about those two bands. And thanks for that list of recommendations--I'm definitely getting a feel for that scene.

Another band you might want to check out is Rise Against.

Rise Against isn't very new, but they're great in my opinion.

Rise Against was ok up until Sufferer and the Witness, which was decent in itself. Appeal to Reason was terrible however, Endgame was decent again, and the new album is really lacking as well. RPM10/Siren Song era was their peak.

I find some indie to be more on the punk side, because indie really isn't a one thing genre, it's a scene of eclectic bands trying new things out. I've heard some recently that had sludge metal sensibilities. Neato.

As for Wavves and FIDLAR, I don't expect most people to get them. I see them as continuing off from slacker skate punk culture and adding a fair amount of no-fi noise and a fun, pop punk attitude. King of the Beach is one of my favorite albums for that reason, and I don't really see many dull moments in their discog. Sure, their first two albums are really monotonous, but at the very least it's fun slacker background noise. FIDLAR is kinda the same way, I really like both's embrace of surf influences, cause you can never have too much of that.

At the same time I realize why someone wouldn't like their stuff. But most music I listen to isn't to be taken too seriously anyways.

Yeah I forgot to put Pissed Jeans and Iceage in my list but these are seriously all great recs.

I would say, however, that Destruction Unit is more stoner metal than punk, but that genre does take some of it's influence from punk anyways.

Modern punk is easy to find on Bandcamp. Night Birds is a particularly good band. I highly recommend them. I'm no modern punk expert, but I look up a lot of grunge on BC, and with grunge usually comes punk. Also, Refused came out w/ a new album.

Tristan_Geoff

I've heard of Night Birds before. Refused new album has sone moments on it, but for the most part isn't my thing. Granted, there was no perceivable way they could top TSoPTC anyways, so I like how they didn't even try and went in a totally different direction that their usual stuff.
