So....I can't do it.
The Exploited, the Casualties, Pisschrist, the Dead Kennedies, Reagan Youth, Minor Threat...
The list goes on and on and on. The list of bands that EVERYONE seems to love, but I can't...seem to get into.
So I'm asking for help.
I'm a metalhead. I'll provide a list of the few punk bands that I like, in the hopes that you guys (who seem to be much more into punk than I) can tell me about similar things.
-Behind Enemy Lines/Aus-Rotten
-Amebix
-Skitsystem
-Wolfsbrigade
-Nux Vomica
-Choking Victim
-Anti-Flag
-Jawbreaker
-Poison Idea
-Bad Religion
aaaaand.....that's about all I got.
Okay, not its not. haha to be totally honest, I like these guys too.
-Alkaline Trio
-Rise Against
-Dropkick Murpheys
....yep. But stuff like Doom and Crass doesn't seem be hard enough, or vocally...stunning enough. It's like watered down metal, you know? Toxic Holocaust is a band that tried to bridge the gap between the two genres, with some success. Anyone know of some badass, headbanging, ....snarly, or loud...shit I don't know. I don't even know what I don't know. What the frack kind of qualities go into good, jump up and mosh type punk? What gets you guys off?
In the mean time, I'll throw on a Conquering Dystopia album and wait for the wisdom of the community!!!
