Needed a good video to listen to while sewing the patches I just made (ACxDC, Weekend Nachos, and Orchid) onto my bag, and this is the perfect one. Love it.
Bad Religion was THE band that drowe me to punk. Before that I was listening to all sorts of music. And then, in the midst of Nirvana craze in the 90s', a school friend of mine recomended Bad Religion. I went to the store and bought Generator tape. I started listening to the songs, and I was like: "these lyrics sound like I wrote them, and the sound is much better than other punk bands". I was listening to Pink Floyd at the time 😊. Thank you Bad Religion for making a punk out of me ❤
Here in Brazil we have a very important oi!/street band for ALL brazilian punk scene. This band is called Garotos Podres. Check "Anarkia oi!" and "Subúrbio Operario" from Garotos Podres!
I discovered them in my early 20’s in the late 90’s. I saw their CD cover of Boogada and it looked similar in simplicity as The Descendents albums. Then I saw the back said SST records and thought the same label as Descendants, I should give them a listen. The rest is history.
First time I saw them was at a mini emo fest and I credit hearing Make it Stop live for me still being here today. Absoutely love these guys. Going to see them at the same venue I first saw them at this October and we'll see if I can hold it together for the whole show 😂
I just came from a Suicidal Tendencies concert in Belo Horizonte Brazil. Trujillo's son Tye in bass this time. My third concert, and awesome has aways! SXTX!!
One of the best shows I ever been to was oxymoron the business pistol grip and drop kick was just great seek alot of other great bands to and alot i wish i would of seen!
I haven't listened to.nofx in over 20 years. And wow I missed a lot! I recently had an urge to start listening to them again and punk rock in general and I really missed it. I hope they can keep going for the fans
FinMcKenty stated that Jello was a shitty frontman , with more talking than singing. What a douche and illiterate scum. If there is one person that took punk vocals to another level of art - it was Jello. You would literally have a show inside a show , he was a complete performer.
I actually love TubThumping. That's just Chumbawamba...some of their best stuff has a catchy pop sound. Nothing wrong with that. I love, also, that they sold the rights to the song to whoever would pay for it...and donated the proceeds to anti-corporate political action orgs. Great band.
40 something yr old Cali punker ex street kid here... I always thought NOFX stood for No Fu*king Straight Edge, with the X representing the symbol the straight edge skinhead punks of the time would use almost like there stupid gang sign and Fat Mike didn't like the name because at the time and for years into the bands history he was the only one not doing drugs or getting messed up and he was also scared of getting beat up by said nazi punks. Edit... Btw my favorite NoFX albums are Ribbed, White Trash, Punk In Drublic, Shoes, The War on Errorism (which is also the last of their albums that I like the whole thing and not just 2 or 3 of the songs) and The Decline. I've met Melvin, Smelly (both class acts all the way) & Fatty twice backstage at concerts (seen them play about 15-20 times) but never met Hefe. I also met Fat Kike another time at a house party where he made a complete as* of himself because people didnt have the drugs he wanted and the drugs that were there weren't free just because he's quasi famous (Dont blame the 2 dudes either, I wouldn't give some rich guy I don't know but only know of, my drugs when I'm poor and homeless). So he started insulting everyone 😂 (Kind of a shame he turned into a complete edge lord junky douche).
As a person who loves folk punk, "normal" punk, and metal, I don't understand why folk punk is so hated, punk is supposed to go against and adress the problems with society and/or government (as far as i know), folk punk still follows that, so I don't see the problem other than punks wanting harsh music, but still, you shouldn't hate over an opinion
I like folk punk because at the core it's DIY music with similar sentiments to Punk. I understand some people not liking it, but I don't think scoffing at it makes you cool. Shows a lot of elitism from people I imagine are fitting a punk rock stereotype and only consuming Punk as a genre. Those people are missing out by not being open minded and giving it a chance.
