Recommend me some good PUNK music

Good punk?

The Clash, The Pistols, New York Dolls, Ramones....err... that's it, really.

Zeke (very fast),
NO/FX, something off Punk in Drublic or Heavy Petting Zoo.
Bleach (Japanese all girl band FANTASTIC!)
Bikini Kill

Old:

Dead Kennedies - something off Fressh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables (hilarious)

Bad Brains - something off Rock for Light

Minor Threat - sober, v. influential

Slits - Peel Sessions

He said, "shouty". And he's a metalhead. That's probably a terrible place for him to start.

Mentors

The Blood Brothers.

Jesus Lizard-- "Blockbuster", "Killer McHann" (live), "Mouthbreather"

The Germs-- "Lexicon Devil", "Richie Dagger's Crime"

Big Black-- "Kerosene", "Bad Penny"

Husker Du-- "Beyond the Threshold", "Something I Learned Today", "The Girl Who Lives on Heaven Hill"

Minor Threat-- "Screaming at a Wall", "I Don't Want to Hear It"

Bad Brains-- "Rock for Light", "Pay to Cum"

Big Black Flag "Cable TV Party"

BTW, Erase Errata and Big Black are pretty damn cool, but I'm getting confused here. Is that punk? Erase Errata is, like, experimentally to me and Big Black is, like, post-punk industrial psyche noise. Are we using the same criteria Sonic Youth did when they named their video "The Year Punk Broke"?

Depends on whether you'er judging by the strictly defined music style 'punk' Sex Pistols and all that, or the attitude/ethics espoused by Punk Planet. If it's the latter then both BB and EE are PUNK.

esp: _Horsebox_ and the split disc they did with Hot Water Music.

I thought everyone agreed Mush was never bettered, one of a kind masterpiece. I loooove that album.

Hahahahahahaha....no they weren't. By the time Big Black gurgled out of the slime, Punk Rock was already in its bilious decline

Everything doesn't have to be hyper-indexed into extinction.

I will still always love these guys. "I Want the Moon," goddamn.

Err, emo-punk maybe?

I second Blood Brothers - they have metal crossover appeal!

Crashingly loud and catchy and pure rawk n roll

enh, i contest that -- while it was perhaps the best full album, i think that some of the songs off the split and offa Horsebox were their best. When I first heard the opening to "Sour Grapes", i knew I was listening to something special.

i'd wish they fuckin' record or tour or do SOMETHING again. Nary a peep for two years now..

I also say this because they're one of the few punk groups I can honestly say I'm a fan of. :)

and thus the Sea of Attitude did drown him, and Punk was cast adrift upon it, divorced from any particular sound-form or point in time

which didn't improve matters

Stewart - you have my condolences

Look for the books,"From The Velvets To The Voidoids" by Colin(lastname?), and "We've Got The Neutron Bomb", by Brendan Mullin, which cover both coasts, East and west, respectively. I am not aware of any texts covering punk musics form the midwest, pacific nw, New England, etc...

Has anyone heard of Zounds? Am thinking of going to see them in a couple of weeks at a gig in Leicester...

Can anyone tell me about a band called the Monks? I understand they were around in the sixties?

Man Afraid "Uphill Struggle" 7"
Swing Kids self-titled 7"
Asshole Parade split 7" with Ansojuan

Orchid "Dance Tonight, Revolution Tomorrow" 10"

Zounds! Yes, excellent hippy-punk / anarcho-punk / peace-punk / post-punk band from Reading / Oxford.

They did a free tour with Here & Now (I believe there were links with Mark Perry / Alternative TV) and gigged / toured with The Mob quite a lot and even shared their drummer with them for a while.

They released one amazing single on the Crass label (War / Subvert / Can't Cheat Karma) and then a great album (The Curse Of Zounds) and several singles (Demystification, True Love, More Trouble and the La Vache Qui Rit EP) for Rough Trade.

Vocalist Steve Lake went on to have a solo career and drummer Joseph Porter (aka Josef Portar) went on to form the folk-punk band Blyth Power.

Haven't seen them since they reformed so can't tell you what they're like now but in the early '80's they were great and the album (which is available on CD with all the singles added) is highly recommended.
