Punk Me Out

[squishyboboball]

I want to get into punk music, but I don't know where to start. I'll tell you what I like, then maybe you could point me towards bands?

I like INTELLIGENT, political, angry music. I don't want a testosterone laden mass marketing ploy with no substance. I don't want your Avril Levigne wannabe crap, I want the real deal.

I don't care if its old or new, but it has to have a brain behind it, and it must be bitingly political.

[Rocktron]

How about Bad Brains... old band from the 80's
They play good Reggae as well!

The album i share is "God of Love" massive band. Very special!

[porkshit]

try System os a down's Steal This ALbum! they are more hard rock tho. then you could try NOFX - the war on Errorism ( those are both albums)

System of a Down ROCKS!!!!
But it's not punk.. it's a bit progressive metal. I love them from the first album they made!
And nobody had ever heard of them then.

But shurely he knows this band allready don't you think?

[porkshit]

he HAS to :D :D If not you're missing out big time bro :D :D

BAD BRAINS, yeah!!! :w00t:
That were those guys looking like Reggae men, smoking joints and then playing terrible loud Punk/Hardcore, right?
I loved them so much. :wub:




@ Squishy: From what I hear you should download the complete first album of the Sex Pistols: Never mind the bollocks - very angry and political, and funny.
It's from 1977 and will teach :rolleyes: you the basics of Punk.
By the way: Avril Levigne isn't punk at all, she's just an "evil" Britney Spears.

[porkshit]

you couls also trry Goldfinger, thought they are not very political, they are still real good punk. my favourite band

[Rocktron]

Check out this thread... click me, click me! (http://www.klboard.ath.cx/bb/index.php?act=ST&f=28&t=32199&hl=)

[kooky_kramer]

not so much punk, but as far as political goes you cant go past rage against the machine (i know they are split up, and the band is now the band for audioslave -- sellout bastards).

they are about as political as they come check the song 'testify' which was written about the fist gulf war and fits this latest conflict as well.

as mentioned above system of a downs new album especially the song 'boom'. In australia the film clip shows them marching in a protest against the war with real people and stuff, actually acting on what their singing about. respect. the film clip might be different in other countries though, i dunno.

[jetje]

Never mind the bollocks - sex pistols,
Lust for life - iggy pop and some old strangler songs are a good start... :)

And for the real start just put a safety pin through your cheeks.... Bang your head to the wall, tear your clothes apart and party...... :lol:

stiff little fingers <-------&#62; political irish punk band

[Evil Fish]

Man, I don&#39;t know what the hell is wrong with you people but I havn&#39;t seen one band on here that even remotely resembles what he asked for. He said Inteligent, Political stuff&#33; Dude, try Anti-Flag they are the most political of all punk bands and their lyrics are fucking brilliant. btw, that stiff little fingers thing was a good try but definately not political at all.

all you people that started saying stuff about Syndrome* of a down and shit like that, you&#39;re all fucking stupid thats not even close to being punk, political, or even good. Whats wrong with you guys, you&#39;re misleading him like crazy&#33; Dude if you wanna get into punk then come to me cuz the guyz around here obviously don&#39;t know shit about shit.

^^^^^ a bunch of angry rambling, the point is: Download Anti-Flag (http://www.anti-flag.com)

did you even read the list of artists i posted :blink:
if i don&#39;t know sh*t why am i wiping stinky Evil Fish of the sole of my shoe :angry:
you obviously have no idea who the people on that list represent & as such you&#39;d better look out in the pit little man :ph34r:
if i only knew how to bitch slap your pussy ass on a BB :lol: :lol: :lol:

i&#39;ll listen to anti-flag, but you should make it you business to educate yourself about punk :: and read indymedia (http://www.indymedia.org/) & Zmag (http://www.zmag.org/ZNET.htm) [for politics not for punk]
and either quote or be more specific when you dis sh*t &#39;cause apart from pissing me i have to defend the recomendations of Rocktron, Bender and jetje [although i&#39;d start with iggy pops &#39;i want to be a dog&#39; or &#39;dogfood&#39;]

BTW[i completely agree about system of a down [losers playing epic rock schmultz] boom is a toy song jumping on other peoples trains - i&#39;m vaguely impressed that they could actually make that video for US TV - but almost all of it is cut together from news stock footage - early cure are punker than them] :blink:

[Nora182]

NOFX has a lot of songs that are political. They have lots of strong opinions. Pennywise has some to. They are both good bands :)

[killallhippies]

Stiff Little Fingers not political? ARE YOU MAD? "Tin soldier", "Alternative Ulster", the list goes on, nobody was ever more punk, musical or political, download "all the best" for starters, then when you&#39;re hooked carry on.

[killallhippies]

Also The Clash. start with, "London Calling".

[The Codfather]

:blink: can&#39;t believe nobody mentioned Bad Religion....

[Evil Fish]

@Nora182
NOFX is a good suggestion. although I never really liked them they are punk and slightly political. However their lyrics aren&#39;t always the most intelligent :lol:

@killallhippies
I have to admit that stiff little fingers have some moderate political views so if you wanna use that to get into punk then go ahead but I don&#39;t recommend it considering they aren&#39;t exactly "revered" in the punk world although part of being a punk is breaking away from the views of others so do as you wish.

@echidna
What bands did you suggest? (cant be bothered to look back :P ) at the time of my post i don&#39;t remember reading any good suggestion other than the stiff little fingers one.

[carbert]

i am most certainly not an expert on the subject, but out of the music i listen to, Stiff Little Fingers are the most political punk. The most outright political music i have is The Manic Street Preachers :o

[thedrocks16]

Pennywise and Guttermouth. Guttermouth has a lot more stuff than what was played on the radio
