    Ya should. Saw it in that store beside TBMC. 20 quid I think it was. Not sure if they still have it. But it's well worth it even if the first show is completely unwatchable. If you do get it check 1,2XU from the second show. Circle pit on the stage. Pure mayhem.

    yeah some nice ones there alright.
    I highly recommend people check out a San Fran Melodic Hardcore band called " The Sick"

    Henry Rollins was their producer on their last Album and they even done a cover of Rise Above.
    I **** you not when i say that everyone one of these guys tunes is an anthem

    I got one of their songs (Shoshin) and it sounds exactly like Fugazi. :eek:

    Haha. No. Coral Fang is meh at best, it's the 2 before it that are worth listening to, particularly Sing Sing Death House. In my eyes, Coral Fang only just about scrapes it in there as punk at all.

    Also, I'm shock by the fact that the word "Fingers" cannot be found on this thread. Allow me to rectify that.

    Stiff Little Fingers Stiff Little Fingers Stiff Little Fingers Stiff Little Fingers Stiff Little Fingers Stiff Little Fingers.

    That's better.

    Also, the Dropkick Murphys, while not being Punk Rock, are sort of punk-ish and are definitely worth listening to, particularly the album "Blackout".

    Also, I find it funny that someone mentioned AFI in this thread, so no doubt Busted will be added to the list shortly as well... There's no accounting for some people's tastes.....


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 6,524 Mod ✭✭✭✭dregin


    Hey, let's agree now not to turn this into the "what is punk?" thread. Who cares about SLF, someone else wrote their music....makin them a boyband at best ;) only messin :P so yeah. It would probably be a good idea not to take the piss out of people's recommendations. Just let people go of and listen to the bands listed and let them make their minds up for themselves whether they like them or not.

    My two cents.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,638 ✭✭✭bombidol


    Exactly thats all this is. A list of bands to check out, its not a what is punk thread. theres a few of them around too though if you wanna Debate.
    Just because someones not mentioned a band yet doesnt mean they suck, just means that they aint on someones playlist right now or they just arent into em


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,135 ✭✭✭✭John

    Hmmm, punk/hardcore? I think not. Although Dillinger are some force live.


    Other bands (I've mentioned some of them in another thread) worth listening to are:
    - Wire
    - The Ex
    - Daisy Chainsaw
    - The Birthday Party (they'll always be punk to me)
    - early Joy Division (the later stuff was impossible to classify as punk but all of their work is incendiary)
    - The Ramones
    - The Sex Pistols
    - The Stooges
    - GG Allin
    - Dead Kennedys
    - Dwarves
    - Black Flag
