Edit: Make it a top 8 because I do what I want, Hot Water Music
Edit 2: Shootout to Mitch Clem for introducing me to a bunch of not very well known bands... Also add Discount to that list, merry fucking Christmas bitches
It's a real shame he took down the archives of all his comics. But yeah, I got introduced to a lot of favorite punk bands through his "Liquid Paper" series.
Most people only know them from that one single that got popular back in the day. They've never been a pop band though. They're actually an anarchist art collective that's been around since the early '80s. The podcast Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff did two episodes on them. It's worth a listen. They're much cooler than you think they are.
No problem. They're one of those bands whose sound changes a lot over their career, and you wouldn't necessarily infer their beginnings from their later stuff, but if you go back and listen to their early albums like Ballots, or Pictures of Starving Children Sell Records, their punk cred is a lot more obvious.
I actually don't like the '90s stuff they made. Their album War Music in 2019 and the 2020 Malignant Fire single songs are amazing though, and I love Useless Europeans from the Freedom album as well.
If anyone else here ever tried Refused but didn't get it, try their modern stuff, it's way different, lyrics hit harder and the production sounds more similar to that loud Samurai feel in CP2077.
(Dishonorable mention to Justin Sane. Anti-Flag was a huge part of me developing my sense of ethics and social justice. Sad about what a dick he turned out to be.)
Well, they had one albums worth of songs then one member quit. Then other members just added Lars Fredrickson and became Rancid. Like, I love op-iv but rancid scratches that itch and people prob want some more diversity in their list.

The inclusion of Chumbawumba is scrambling my brain. Explain please.

Th@nk you for this kind mind explosion on a Friday.
No problem.

Woah, crazy. So I should start listening to their other stuff besides that one song?
Definitely

REFUSED!!!! I discovered them way too late. They were a band ahead of their time!
I actually don't like the '90s stuff they made. Their album War Music in 2019 and the 2020 Malignant Fire single songs are amazing though, and I love Useless Europeans from the Freedom album as well.
If anyone else here ever tried Refused but didn't get it, try their modern stuff, it's way different, lyrics hit harder and the production sounds more similar to that loud Samurai feel in CP2077.

I can't believe that I scrolled the whole thread and didn't find Operation Ivy.
Aren't they ska?
Ska punk is splitting hairs for sure. Legit saw someone with the specials on their list lol
I kept Mustard Plug off my list because Ska.
Well, they had one albums worth of songs then one member quit. Then other members just added Lars Fredrickson and became Rancid. Like, I love op-iv but rancid scratches that itch and people prob want some more diversity in their list.

Lawrence Arms

I've liked what I've heard of Lawrence Arms but didn't realize they were known as a punk band.
The Lawrence Arms are an American punk rock band from Chicago, formed in 1999.
That's from Wikipedia, I don't know, I would have called it punk rock as well...
I guess I've just mostly heard their softer stuff like "Brickwall Views".

The Misfits
Local bands - U-Boats, Rat Cafeteria, No Fraud
And yes, I know not punk exactly but The Cramps above all of those.

ITT: A whole hell of a lot of people not knowing what punk is.
If it fits a strict definition, is it really punk at all?
Preach
I was like this. It is the worst thing about the music scenes. I try not to be like this anymore.
Yeah, everyone knows that Bad Religion is a prog rock band
