ok guys i've just have to say over the weekend us monctonians have lost a great friend and someone who gave alot to our music scene...it happened on sunday and we are all heart broken...
So I've been trying to broaden my horizons and I've started listening to much more Oi. I have to say Oxblood is amazing, Cocksparrer is amazing, Combat 84 is amazing, The Templars are amazing. This thread has been dead for a while so I thought it needed a post .
Any body here mention Against Me! yet, I was just listening to some of there old stuff and it's really good. I don't even know why I like it. The singers voice is so bad, he just sings with some much emotion it's hard for me not to like it... havn't heard much of there new cd anyone know if it's anygood...
yay skatenigs!!!
im not really into against me. i hear em played by a friend sometimes but i dont own anything by them.
Oi! rocks!!! you got some good bands listed...two of my favs are slaughter and the dogs and angelic upstarts.

*it IS as bad as you think and they ARE out to get you*
I've never really ever "categorized" any bands as punk... but bands that I think that are good that others have categorized are definately...
AFI (at least their old stuff... they've kind of mellowed a little bit with their latest cd), Pennywise, Sex Pistols, Misfits, Ramones, Black Flag... and such.
The Clash,hello one of the man infulences for all punk bands today. Except for the wannabes like: Blink 182,Simple Plan,Good Charlotte. Also The Ramones are awseome. As for newer punk,Anti-Flag and thats it all other newer punk is just pop shit.
Indeed Anti-Flag are pop. I myself am not a fan of The Clash but hey alot of people are. As for AFI, I like them but they are not punk at all. They other ones names are pretty good though.
Nah,Anti-Flag arn't. Shit like bline 182 is and simple plan and good charlotte. Atleast Anti-Flag sticks to kinda what they point about what punk is and their songs often have to do something with the governmet. The 3 bands I listed above are all emo bands that say they are "punk".
You may think they do,but listen to some of their older stuff and its really good. I know they shouldn't have been metioned I just mentioned them cause someone people think they are punk.
I'm not a very big fan of The Clash... but I know a lot of people tend to look at them as one of the beginners of what could be considered 'the punk music era' deal. I do give them credit though... they did influence a lot of bands.
