Anybody here listen to punk-rock anymore?

[doctordenim]

Holy fuck...every band people are talking about on here these days SUCKS!
Blank Dogs, Crystal Stilts, Electric Bunnies, etc,etc,etc...and to a lesser degree, band like The Oh sees and Tyvek.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

That Spider EP is the best punk-rock record to come out in...I don't know how many years.

[frankie teardrop]

You guys have me totally pegged wrong...I mean, I've been on this board for almost 4 years...I came on here for a reason. At one time there was alot of discussion about great music. Over the last while there has been less and less great music, and alot hyping of mediocre, watered down indie-sounding, shit.

I like 80's styled hardcore, I like 70's styled punk(and that's a wide spectrum), I like a little noise...a little art-shit...and I like 60's garage and 80's garage shit...I like alot of what all that shit inspired. I check out every band you guys mention on here...and there's just been very few lately that I've wanted to buy records by...

the two punk bands i go see in Chicago on the reg are Canadian Rifle and Chronic Seizure.  you might dig them...

Canadian Rifle and Chronic Seizure both fucking suck.

Those bands are all about THE SCENE, MAN.

new spits record will be out july 4th

while the spider ep is good, i think people hype it up ALOT. it wasnt the best punk rock record of its year let alone of multiple years.  id rather listen to red kross or 13th floor elevators.

Spider's great, but Catatonic Youth is better and not that far removed musically.

I don't get ppaul's point, though, who wouldn't rather listen to 2 of the best bands in rnr's 50+ year history? I thought we were talking recent quality punk rock releases?

Exactly. Wasn't sure what he was trying to say either.

what i was trying to say, in my very half assed way, is that the best song on that spider ep is "witch cookie" which is really just "scarlet & gold" by the elevators. nothing new.

that catatonic youth 7" is miiiiles better. shit eagle 7" is great punk rock as well.

Isn't this all a matter of taste?? I like "Boozetown" best, so...

Agreed. You're alright. Lokum side is the better of the two. Also like Nix "Speed Freaks."
