i dont know AFI very well, i just listend to a couple preview tracks, if you like the more recent bubblegum punk bands, i guess you might like AFI better.
but if your favorite punk bands are X, Black Flag, DK, and Fugazi (Brendan Canty produced The Thermals most recent album) and you like stripped down old school punk, then The Thermals kick AFI's ass ten different ways. AFI does have more ink though.
Dude, everyone knows that Blink 182 is the best punk band ever. Followed closely by Green Day.Quote:

one of my favorites is strung out they fuckin rock hard, the older stuff is a little less metal than the newer stuff. the guitar parts are crazy, and the drummer is amazing. i think they are a very underrated band. other than them my list goes.
pennywise
bad religion even there newer stuff is good some of their middle stuff i didnt like
nofx older stuff is better ribbed is one of my all time favorites
goldfinger
decendents
ignite is a great band as was mentioned earlier
dillinger escape plan definatly metal but bad ass
stretch armstrong good hardcore love their cover of pinks get the party started
older green day is pretty good kinda slow
afi very proud of ya is great
boris the sprinkler awesome and hilarious great live band, not to many shows i have seen the lead singer dressed up like the green m&m, mega anal is my favorite of theirs
slapstick, skapunk but good
i like early ataris
wizo awesome german band on fat wreck
millencollin
less than jake ska but really fuckin good
thats all i can think of right now plus i gotta get some work done
yeah Greydon, i got the sarcasm. I may live in montana, but i'm not from montana. not sure what it is, but montanans never get sarcasm. since i had never heard AFI, i had to check them out before i could say they suck. i checked them out, they suck.
and freeskisquaw, greatest punk album of the last 15 yrs? my ass! fugazi has put out 5 albums since 91, that should sum it up right there. afi isnt fit to carry fugazi's intruments.
how are the thermals live?
and ill check out those other bands for sure.
Fuck you posers, I'm repping the most hardcore shit ever: Good Charlotte.
OH YEAH!
Fugazi = $$. I got to see 'em 3 times,I think I spent a total of $16 on tickets for all three shows. Check out The Evens , Ians new band. Not punk, but it's good stuff I think.
that crowd looks super insane during police truck.
super as in rainbows and unicorns.
This is what a punk show is all about.
edit for: the unseen is pretty damn "good" live.
I like Plastic Surgery Disasters more. the tracks on FFFRV get repetitiveQuote:

All three of those albums are excellent examples of a band's evolution from hardcore/punk to a different sound. Mabye they arent the best band of our generation, but they certainly are good. They also put on one hell of a live show, their fans are like no other.Quote:

OLD Chumbawamba is great peace punk. Like "Never Mind the Ballots," etc.
Antisect is also some great peace punk if your into the old 3-chord punk like Crass.
Christ on Parade "sounds of Nature" and "A mind is a terrible thing" are great.
Have to 2nd tons of the bands people mentioned: MDC, Minor Threat, Fugazi, etc.
Yah the Dayglo Abortions "Feed US a Fetus" is a classic!!!Quote:

Accused: Most older are great
Suicidal Tendencies "Suicidal Tendencies" self titled is a classic for sure
GBH "Leather, Bristles, ...." is pretty alright
7 Seconds "The Crew"
Agent Orange "Living in Darkness" is great surf punk ala Dick Dale as mentioned
The Dicks "Hate the Cops" is another great one.
"The only good Crass band was Rudimentary Peni.." - Fat Mike
Me and a couple friends know Patty from Dillenger Four pretty good. He's a great guy. They opened the Triple Rock in Minneapolis which is a punk club of some sorts.Quote:

gunmoll
ann beretta
the Mr. T Experience
Swingin' Utters
The Lonely Kings
The P.E.A.C.E comp (I believe it was on Crass but can't remember) and Maximum Rock N Rolls "Welcome to 1984" were amazing comps. PEACE had alot of bands like MDC, Crass, etc. -- couldn't possibly pack more great classic punk onto 2 records. "Welcome to 1984" has alot of amazing stuff and alot of great international punk.
The Crucifucks "Wisconsin" was great if you can handle the guys voice. He's obviously trying to be annoying but it a classic as well.
You the Sex Pistols weren't all that great. They have a few cool songs though. I really love their version of "My Way." It kicks ass.Quote:

Just when I was going to say Stiff Little Fingers, guess I missed that earlier. BuZZcocks, Magazine, X , Germs , Black Flag, Siouxsie & the Banshees, The Members, Eddie & the Hot Rods, KTels- Let's Go to Fuckin' Hawaii, Dishrags, DOA, Agent Orange, Subhumans, The Clash, of course the Sex Pistols, if you don't include Johnny Rotten & Sid et al you're not Punk, Butthole Surfers, Vibrators, Stranglers
tuff darts anyone?
Reagan Youth
Toy Dolls
Tiger Army (qyschobilly)
Defiance Ohio (folk punk)
and the newest local band . . . xSeditionx! And Agnostic Front isn't white power. They have a song called "Fascist Attitude"
Quote:
Why should you go around bashing one another
If they look or think different, why let it bother
Everyones got their own style, their own thoughts
Don't let it bother you, don't let it get caught
Your fascist attitudes - we need the least
With a scene that's fighting for unity & peace
Don't need more anger; no more danger
Don't need to hate; stop before it's too late
Learning how to respect each other is a must
So why start a war of anger & danger among us
It's time to grow out of your nazi hypocrism
When you really don't want part of a fucked up system
Bump.
Check out Aus-Rotten

KTels- Let's Go to Fuckin' Hawaii,
These guys got sued so if you are ever looking for them they became the Young Canadians and they do rock.
Punk music is still the shit even if BlurredElevens thinks rap has replaced it.
I still throw some Propagandhi, Rancid, and the ever-popular over-recorded NOFX
how bout some old East Bay:
Sewer Trout
Crimpshrine
Pinhead Gunpowder
Neurosis
Downfall
SCHLONG
Purposely left Operation Ivy out there. They were gods
xSEDITIONx is pretty good, ghost mice, evan greer, suicidal tendacies, circle jerks, a diehard remain is really good, anal cunt can be good at times
If anyone wants to buy one half of a drumstick signed by all of sedition, let me know! ;)Quote:
