Dear punk rock,
Can we kick out social distortion?
sincerely,

Hi
Pop punk has become a huge genre, and I don't like most of it. Some decent pop punk bands that I have respect for are: Fountains of Wayne, Jack's Mannequin, Motion City Soundtrack, The Get Up Kids and Jimmy Eat World.
None of these sound much like My Chemical Romance, but (in my opinion) they are much better, and you won't find anything particularly new if you're just looking for similar bands. :)

The stage was soaked, and every band was sliding all over the place, almost falling over while playing numerous times. Right before Social D came on, they had a big red carpet rolled out onto the stage, and the Social D guys didn't slide around at all. As soon as they were done playing, they rolled up the carpet, and all the rest of the bands continued to slide around. It just seemed like it would've been the nice thing to do to offer the carpet for all the other bands.Quote:

I know there's a lot of good shit I'm forgetting....
Void - "War Hero"
Yup, one very crucial band I forgot. The Vindictives!
Rocks in my head
cdlv: thanks for posting all the youtube stuff. The FUs are great. I've never heard My America but it sounds pretty good. I've just heard Kill For Christ but My America seems cooler than I thought it would be.
I used to listen to all that stuff. I had most of those albums in their first pressing. I sure wish I still had that Faith/Void split, that was a good one. My left shoulder still has the Void crosses in scars that I put in with a razor when I was fifteen and rather fucked up on that record and Olde English 800(the favorite drink of dumbass 15 year old skinheads). I'm old enough to remember slam dancing which came before moshing. See, in 1981-85, we saw those bands live in crapass clubs with amps, cinderblock walls and not much else. Only you and 50 other people would show up on a tuesday night to see the bands that everybody worships as icons now a days. We didn't mosh. There were usually so few of us that you could really get up a good running start in the pit before you hit each other and damn near knocked each other out. That's why it was called slam dancing. By 1986, punk was dead and I gave away all my albums and spent that year taking a lot of acid and listening to dub reggae before discovering the SubPop sound. The emerging grunge and thrash metal bands were making hardcore punk seem irrelevant. Sure, its nice to take an occasional trip down memory lane but to me, 25 years later, this stuff is akin to dozing off to a classic rock station. Meanwhile bands like NILE are doing interesting stuff now, in the present. Whatever, every generation deserves a chance to have fun with it, I guess.
"American Hardcore" is a very good documentary and it is available on several of the free documentary film sites. Check it out.

more under-known punk, this shit was the fastest thing in 82, :
Yea, it is strange for any doc on hardcore to totally omit mention of the Dead Kennedys. But, c'mon, all those interviews with the dried up ol punks was like hardcore's "where are they now?" series compressed into an hour.
never got into that much punk, but i was vegan straight edge for 4 1/2 years
was heavy into the 'core during high school
loved Earth Crisis, Struggle(sort of a mix of 'core/punk), Mouthpiece, No Escape, Deadguy, 108, Shelter, Strife, Underdog, SOIA, Integrity, 4 Walls Falling, Into Another, Undertow, Unbroken, Turning Point, Black Train Jack, Flagman, Gorilla Biscuits, Refused to Fall
still listen to some stuff like Deadguy, No Escape,108, Shelter, Underdog, Integrity, SOIA.
not on the 'core or punk tip, but anybody else love early Slayer????
Early Slayer is good, but the sound on those early albums has too much reverb. Reign in Blood, cleans up the tone and gives it massive power and makes slayer sound like SLAYER.
