I was just wondering if anyone here was into to punk (ie Face to Face etc etc). I realize that there might not be to many "fans" out there, but I was looking to find some new bands. My musical tastes are very varied, but I always come back to the punk music scene. Thanks in advance.
DRI,GBH, Angry Samoans, Sex Pistols, Clash, Circle Jerks, Dead Kennedys,Minor Threat, Disorder, Iggy and the Stooges, Agnostic Front, MDC, Meatmen, Husker Du, Suicidal Tendencies, Bad Brains,The Dicks, Redd Kross, The Urinals, FEAR, Black Flag. Just to name a few.
Fugazi. Fugazi. Fugazi. And they have a wonderful progression through their first album (released as "13 Songs" on CD), through their last ("The Argument").
And you can also go back to Minor Threat, if you are particularly enjoying the early stuff.
There is also an awesome archive of live Fugazi shows that is now available on the Dischord Records page.
They are the kings of the DC punk scene and an all around superb band. Bad Brains are another great option from around DC.
Up in Boston, there is Mission of Burma, who have also been putting out some solid releases recently in addition to their great classic stuff.
On the Chicago side of things, check out Naked Raygun, Big Black and Shellac.
West Coast stuff is better known. But for the West Coast, I'd start with Black Flag and Dead Kennedys.
Mostly old school stuff from So Cal: DRI DK Bad Religion Black Flag Suicidal Tendencies Minor Threat TSOL Germs X Cramps Avengers DOA Subhumans Misfits Social D Circle Jerks
Roscoiii has some great suggestions! I'll add a few....
The Minutemen - start with double nickels and keep going Husker Du- start with zen arcade Black Flag - start with first 4 years (pre Rollins and arguably better) Fugazi x3 The Embarrassment Mission of Burma x3 start with the classics and then Obliterati. The Replacements - sorry ma and stink Talking Heads Wire - pink flag Gang of Four - Entertainment Nomeansno - wrong is the wright place to start (spelling intended) Hot Snakes - all The Wipers - start with over the edge and is this real Drive like Jehu - start with S/T Tanner X The Stooges Velvet Underground Dead Boys - young, load and snotty The Damned Fear The Police - first couple of records Eater - the album Television - marquee Patti Smith Richard Hell - blank gen MC5
And many more I'm forgetting right now, enjoy the journey!
Yeah, good suggestions. The Dead Kennedys are my favorites. Try Butthole surfers and Pixies too (they are not punk I know, but great bands). Amebix are good too.... MDC, Raw power, Discharge, The Stupids, SNFU...
Gas Guffer Divinyls Heatmiser Damned (I know I had to mention them again because I think they were one of the best punk bands ever) And You Will Know Us By The Trail OF Dead MC5 IGGY! Ramones Rocket From The Crypt Reverend Horton Heat
And yet I am listening to Martha Argerich play Prokofiev while I have my morning coffee.
Sex Pistols X The Vibrators Social Distortion Rancid Disappointment Inc. Circle Jerks Iggy Pop "Repo Man" soundtrack Lords of the New Church PIL The Chameleons (not as hardcore, but a great band nonetheless)
The Damned-Damned, Damned, Damned The Sex Pistols-Never Mind the Bollocks The Clash-The Clash Elvis Costello-My Aim Is True (he was punk) Ramones- Ramones
