Jawbox are the best. If you dig Jawbox, I recommend Burning Airlines. J Robbins' band after Jawbox. They don't get the recognition they deserve. Mission Control is one of my favourite records of all time.

Another new discovery
I was into them for a short time but not overly enthusiastic about them.
Around that time I was into.
Some other stuff.

Good choices, especially Circle Jerks and Agent Orange. Love this one
So, back over this side of the Atlantic.
And a bit of stuff from Japan

I found out about a band from Japan called INU a couple of days ago. I like a few of their tracks from what I've heard so far
And Balzac who I've known about for a while are really good

The new Flatliners album took a bit to grow on me. Can't get enough of it now. This song is absolutely banging:
Certainly my favourite of the modern punk rock lot.

Glad someone else on here recognizes this brilliant band. My favorite band ever from L.A. Was lucky enough to be living in L.A. in the late 70s early 80s and saw this band loads of times when they were just starting in a really exciting time for music. These guys are top drawer musicians as well.
There's a fantastic documentary on their early years, X: The Unheard Music, that is a must for any fan of theirs.
Awesome. Wish I was around at that time so I could see most of my favourite bands in their prime.
I'll try to check that documentary out some time.
I know they're a bit of a sanitised modern homage, but I went to see Parquet Courts yesterday and place was bouncing.
I go to a fair few gigs but the ones that attract punks in their 40s are always the most fun, especially if you go right to the front and get involved in the jostling.

Wow Teengenerate! I love 'Dressed In Black' by them.
I've shared a stage with Guitar Wolf.
Great band, love a bit of The Flatliners

Good band from Glasgow, The Kimberley Steaks. They've just uploaded their new album. It's fun as feck. Recommended if you dig old Lookout! punk rock like Screeching Weasel, MTX, early Green Day and shit like Osker, Dillinger Four etc...

Just been listening to these two classics, so bloody good
Listening to Kilimanjaro by Teardrop Explodes. Lots of good songs, but Treason especially is great.

You cannae put punk wit new wave man....
I can if I put post-punk in the middle
Oh, didn't see it was your thread, Olly can do what he wants!I can if I put post-punk in the middle
Plus you know your music.
Yesterday I was going through quite a bit of Japanese punk and post-punk. Favourite song from the lot I listened to would be this;
Listened to it loads already.
Was finding stuff from this Facebook page if anyone's interested - Japanese Goth & Post-Punk. Only about half way through so far.
I've just now been listening to some German punk, Hans-A-Plast. Pretty good from listening through the one albums of theirs I've listened to so far. Can't understand a bloody word though, obviously.
You're too kind (and probably too generous but I wont complain).
@marukomu that Tazed and Confused song is pretty good.

Great choice
Had the first few Bad Religion albums back in the day. Problem is they became very samey after a while
Yeah I can understand that, but I can't help but love them Their newest album was great.
One of my favourites
Their newest album was great.One of my favourites
Mostly I think the same about them, but usually there's also a gem in every record. The older ones have a few more IMO.
I'm awful at tagging music with wierd names. I like The Cult and Killing Joke. Would you say that they are "post-punk"? Astbury says that they are "punk-rockers". Is that the same shit?
Killing Joke are post-punk, and I guess The Cult's earlier stuff is probably post-punk, but not so much their later stuff...? I think.
Well, to be fair i like their later stuff more than their earlier stuff. I'm not really into Dreamtime and the likes. Too much chorus and modulation sounds, IMO.
Ah. I haven't listened to much of The Cult apart from a few earlier tracks like She Sells Sanctuary so I'm not sure what to put them as overall, so I'll play it safe and say hard rock.
Something good once came out of Leeds
I got a couple Gang of Four albums last week. They haven't clicked with me from the quick listen I've given them so far, but a couple of the songs were good. Will listen to them again some time.

Checked much Only Ones?
I listened to a couple of tracks about a year ago and was meaning to check out some of their albums but never got round to it. Will do it now
This is good
New Wave seems to mean different things in the UK and the US. In the UK New Wave was more or less punk influenced pop/rock but in the US is was often used instead of Punk and later to mean synth pop. Pretty sure these 5 would be actual New Wave
