On the more pop punk side of things, I've been enjoying the Miller Lowlives album from last year. It's nothing terribly new, but they do a good Lawrence Arms impression if you enjoy that kind of thing.

recently unearthed footage from our basement, it says 2002 but we are now thinking 2001

2nd archival video, a 2001 show featuring Conflict & other bands:

Heading to see Dillinger 4 play at a venue that's probably smaller than anything they've played in 25 years

Mortimer's? Sounds like a blast

was really great, the whole rowdy, shout-a-long atmosphere of a D4 show felt really cathartic after everything that's been happening.

It was Paddy's birthday so he was pretty lubricated and had a lot of words for ICE and the idea of community.

also this is very old but wanted to share one of the greatest Minneapolis punk songs ever made

I recorded this song in my basement and got paid in Taco Bell it's still one of my most favorite things I've ever gotten to do. Hope these guys are well.

nice, I've heard like half a dozen of those

"smelly boys" by itchy and the nits
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRnNxBQD5u4

new retail simps

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t17dEon8ym8

I like both of these bands

Itchy & The Nits were the cutest band I have seen... maybe ever. The cuteness is more part of their collective vibe really. We talked to them briefly and they were fucking adorable.

those are 2 bands I have been meaning to check out but haven't yet

saw GBH tonight, I've seen them several times but tonight they were really on form and the venue was a lot more suitable than last time I saw them, good atmosphere. I don't have anything punky lined up for a month or so but Flower and JJ & The A's are playing here at the end of March/beginning of April so that should be fun

Ekko Astral changing their sound a bit on first single from upcoming album

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLNIO0BRL0c

Ekko Astral singer and former bandmates having issues. Now their label has dropped them

https://pitchfork.com/news/topshelf-records-drops-ekko-astral/

really into the new landowner album "assumption" https://landowner.bandcamp.com/album/assumption (and their older stuff too)
not really sure how to describe it, it's very frantic and herky-jerky and a little devo-y but it's not egg punk, there are no synths and it's angry not goofy and it's punk but all the guitars are clean. the whole thing is good but the epic closer "normal returns to normal" is my favorite.

this is a terrific new post-punk album from the folks behind Aussie punk bands Total Control and R.M.F.C.:

https://staticshockrecords.bandcamp.com/album/station-model-violence

yeah that's a good one too, i've been listening to it

I just bought an R.M.F.C. t-shirt for the tour I saw!

Station Model Violence and Landowner are both top notch

really into the new landowner album ... there are no synths

*starts record*

🧐

okay Station Model Violence is fucking great

very Wire

lol ok i was listening to landowner again after posting that and there is the occasional synth but it's not devo-y synth.

lol was gonna say the first moments of the first song are synth, really cool band

ismatic guru is baaack

https://ismaticguru.bandcamp.com/album/crocbrain-or-two-big-steps-for-mankind

came here to post that^ love it

sick post-punk from chicago's own stuck: https://stuckchi.bandcamp.com/album/optimizer
going to see them with landowner opening in a few weeks

https://dillingerfour.bandcamp.com/track/dont-happy-be-worry

New Dillinger Four track!

xp'd from rolling punk rock 2025 by mistake lol

Poison Ruïn are so much my thing, I can't believe I'm just hearing them.

https://poisonruin.bandcamp.com/album/hymns-from-the-hills

yeah, they totally rule

The best band from my town have a new single out

The Poison Ruin album seems like a big step up; production and songwriting are finally on par with their wicked Wipers-BÖC sound.

"Serpent's Curse" is such a great track.

is there any good source for upcoming punk record release dates out there? do any of y'all keep up with such a thing?

i'm talking full-length albums, btw. not worried about 7"s, etc.

BOC you say?

I think you will love it, ums.

I should post it in the metal thread too. The NWOBHM and early black metal feeling is strong.

Their recent KEXP performance is TIGHT!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngID9PPZwnY

ok this is good stuff, very good year for the rolling punk thread so far

will check them out

fellow poster alpine static can attest to their awesomeness

The Gobs absolutely rule, it's true

sweet bill over there "across the pond"

haha I'm not saying the punk thread is manifesting things in real life but I got this from a friend last night

https://dice-media.imgix.net/attachments/2026-03-20/535d1d00-9b9b-47fe-8e22-5128bc1269f2.jpg

unfortunately this made me check out Cruelster from Cleveland and dang do I hate everything about this video, yuck

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk7xpWBVKWQ

I sent the Poison Ruin link to a friend who was already curious based on a flyer

I saw Poison Ruin at Static Shock Weekend a few years ago. didn't know they had a new album out

had a bit of a quiet start to the year but seems to be picking up now - went to 3 punk/hc gigs within a few days of each other - local legends Ikhras, then Flower and JJ & The A's the week after. next weekend I'm going to 2 gigs in London - Crazy Spirit and Kaleidoscope both with great line ups. might go and see the Cosmic Psychos tomorrow night as well

damn Cosmic Psychos still at it!

think it's doubtful I'll make that now, am going out dancing tonight now, and I'm going to see Kim Gordon in London on Tuesday, so I think Sunday is going to be a day of rest after all

I did see the Cosmic Psychos at the same venue last year or I would definitely have got a ticket for that too

been a great weekend in London - unfortunately one of the bands I wanted to see the most, Spanish band called Lame had member(s) turned away at immigration, fucking Brexit. good to see Crazy Spirit last night who I didn't see first time round but Kaleidoscope absolutely stole the weekend tonight. Shakti, Rat Cage and especially Stingray were great too, I've seen Stingray a few times and like them a lot but they really seemed to invoke the spirit of Anti-Cimex tonight

Is this the thread for Rhododendron? The new album is insanely good.

https://rhododendronpdx.bandcamp.com/album/ascent-effort

Do we want to talk about the Rolling Stone punk list here?

probably best to open a new thread for that

fair.

or add it this thread:

Best of Terrorizer Top 50 Punk Albums Of All Time

that list is pure ragebait. did you lads know Idles are better than Faith/Void ? etc

Turnstile above Modern Lovers and Hex Enduction Hour WHY AM I READING THIS KILL ME

that list is pure ragebait.

otm

awful

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vq8iPT6cd_o

this is fun, yeah!

A buddy of mine loved Philly tuneful kinda poppy punk bands Dark Thoughts and Smart Hearts last night on tour . Still making up my mind on them and wasn't able to go last night

i'm really loving this band artificial go from cincinatti https://artificialgo.bandcamp.com/track/jane-ate-the-apple-seed

rip
