'77 Punk

Hello everyone,

Well it seems ive made a transition from playing in a Heavy Metal band to early Punk band.

Aside from the more popular bands like Ramones, Sex Pistols, The Dead Boys, The Saints, etc. what are some good lesser known bands?

any input on '77 Punk would help.

Flipper is one of my favorites.

I like these guys too. Tony coca cola and the roosters.

awesome! thanks man, great music. Other day was almost gonna play with the MAu MAus aka Berlin Brats but they canceled. im falling in love with punk all over again

I was looking for an excuss to post those. Thank you.

cant go wrong with the Misfits.

Yeah I forgot to mention Misfits thats probably the one band I'm familiar with and the Adicts, which ive liked for years now.

If anyone wants to critique our band, check us out

TSOL
Channel 3
Blurt

I'll think of some others

Subhumans, Circle Jerk, The Exploited, Bad Brains, GBH

Dead Kennedys!! :D

no idea if that actually pertains to this, I just really like them :)

thanks guys ive got a lot of listening to do. and yeah Dead Kennedys and Circle Jerks might be a bit later but still great punk bands.

allright, now we talking m8 :P... ive grown up in later 70's and in 80's... been quite punk myself too in that days... In Finland was back in days quite cool punk scene...

Well... New york dolls, The Stooges, Velvet underground with Nico could be cool to check out, they had huge influence on birth of punk...

I also always liked UK subs, its pretty cool



Cheers!

Just out of curiosity I pulled this up on Wiki. I got more than I expected.

Pretty good reading IMO

Punk is just more than music, its attitude and way of thinking maybe even more than music atleast how it turned in Finland back in time. Somehow its reflects on my behaviour or something now when I got up too, it left a mark :),

In work or in business world forexample where I work, I just have no friggin respect to authorities, I break their rules if I look that some thing could be done more reasonable. I never went to any fancy clothing or any damn piercing stuff, thats not the thing I see in Punk.

Nice to see that younger dudes still looking for that and keep Punk attitude alive.

That's something I enjoy about the older punk rockers, is they have the sort of same attitude as many Thrash Bands(for good reason). Normal dudes who don't care what you might think of them, their music, their clothes, or their attitudes :)
I've sort of adapted that attitude myself in the last couple years and I love seeing other guys/girls like that(unlike the Metal-core scene where everyone looks like a freakin' hipster).

The Vandals..."airstream, Get Out of My Lane!"

Thank you for mentioning Flipper, Nullnaught. They are playing with Dead Kennedys in Oakland in February.

@case,

Yeah, when I was in a punk band in the seventies, I had a fro, played a Telecaster, and wore a tee-shirt and jeans. The typical mainstream punker had a mohawk and wore leather with spikes or something.

the stooges?

Agreed!

Excellent choices BTW to everyone who posted. Henry Rollins FTW always reminds me of what Rock n Roll is really about.

Just couple vids, this our punk legend got international attention also (in undeground) ofcourse... anyway, enjoy

Are you still playng the punk?

Even my band plays more "hard rock" stuff, I play it with punk attitude, I perform with punk attitude... some of our songs are more punk rock than anyother thou so yes :).

I mean... when I am in the stage, I am far from Ritchie Blackmore style of play... Its time to release the steam out... sadly its quite often with cost of technique and correct playing... BUT... usually they dont even notice LOL.
