I went to see Radio Birdman this weekend. Those guys still kick ass! Absolute legends of the punk movement.

Don't know if it fits here, but this is one of my favourite bands at the moment:
New Bad Religion
I'm looking forward to the upcoming album, I really liked True North.

Loving this song at the moment
Sunny Day Real Estate are great
one of the great bands of 90s Emo...Currently, I am listening to a lot of Verse again. Their Aggression album is probably one of the most intense first listenings I have ever hat, incredible energy and rage.
Going to see Hot Snakes for the second time this month tomorrow. Can't wait. Still hoping for some new Rocket From The Crypt tour dates.
Feckin Jawbreaker playing at Groezrock festival in Belgium. Unreal, never thought I would get a chance to see them.
Awesome! Maybe a little European club tour after Groezrock... One can dream.
State Faults is also really nice. Found them down the spotify-rabbit hole of Birds in Row (awesome band from France).
So far they've only announced a show in London, in the O2 Brixton Academy.
Birds in Row are phenomenal. I found their "You me and the violence" LP in a DIY vinyl store in Prague and am in love ever since. Great band.
New AFI
I'm really liking that, gotta say.
There was one released last month too which was good.
Trash Bat is my fave of those two from the upcoming EP so far.

Great thread @Olly
For me Motorama are hugely underrated. Alps is one of my favorite albums of all time. The title song is immense
Another one of my favorite current bands is Skeleton Hands. Their last 2 albums have been outstanding for me:
Also although their newer stuff is quite poppy Future Islands earlier albums are amazing. Inch of Dust is just an awesome song:
In fact On the water and “In the Evening Air” are their 2 best albums and way darker and edgier than the newer stuff.

I guess I should post my bands new video here too?
It’s of this genre.
Rip Pete Shelley
Writer of some of the most perfect pop songs ever. I must have seen Buzzcocks at least six times when they were in their pomp, including a memorable night at the Electric Circus which got besieged by disco-loving Collyhurst scallies thirsting for blood. Happy days

The world lost a great man.
RIP
My friend's band, who I was filling in on guitar for for a few gigs, supported The Buzzcocks a few years ago. Pete was a terrifically nice guy. He watched all the bands and hung around in the crowd talking to people until it was his time to go on, and he just stepped on stage. I assumed that punk bands from that era who are still going would just go through the motions on stage (ahem Stiff Little Fingers) but he was a great performer. A sad loss, but leaves behind a great legacy, and at least one song that just about everybody could sing the chorus to.
Sad news. I loved the Buzzcocks. 61 is no age these days.Writer of some of the most perfect pop songs ever.

Just saw that Motorama released a new album in September
Anyone seen the Epix' show "Punk", made by Iggy? 4 episodes about the 4 different decades of punk. Pretty good, some different people got interviewed in stead of the usual suspects (Hello, Henry Rollins). Loved seeing bands such as DOA and bikini kill getting a lot of screentime.
Our old new wave band are getting back together. I'm the keyboard man got lots of practice to do
NMA are fricking ace, I got into them a long while ago thanks to Skyclad's cover of "Master Race" and even though that was around the time of "Strange Brotherhood" I couldn't get enough of them. Think they went off the boil after that album though, still a great live band though. From "No Rest.." through to "Love of Hopeless Causes" is one of my favourite run of albums from a single band.
Christ, this takes me back. Bit of British pop-punk with a metal edge.
Amazing album, but big mistake of them to be Swedish. They'd be on stamps by now if they were Norwegian.
The new Good Riddance album is surprisingly decent.
Just heard Social Distortion is coming to my favorite Belgian festival (Sjock), next year. Awesome.
Saw The Briefs and night birds last weekend. The Briefs was about 12-15 years ago I think, still have great songs. Night Birds disappointed me a bit. It's one of the few more recent punkrock bands I often listen too. They didn't get the crowd going. Hopefully next time they'll play a small venue in stead of a festival.

Deutsche Laichen, a new German punk band just released their debut. It's very street, the lyrics sometimes a bit cliché, but they have raw power and fury. Like it.
For a little while, Dead Stop was probably the best hardcore band around. From fecking Belgium. Unfortunately, they only played for a couple of years, but I'm glad I've seen them live couple of times. Their last show was in the (for us) legendary Lintfabriek. Lintfabriek was our own CBGB's (light). Crazy number of bands have played there, it was a small terraced house in a small town. From early Green Day and The Offspring, to the Mars Volta and At the drive-in, Pavement, Kill your idols, Sick of it all and tons of other bands.
Nobody probably cares, just being nostalgic

Nah, it was nice to see the video.Nobody probably cares, just being nostalgic
Were you there in the last show?
Modern Life is War and Another Breath were the best hardcore bands around then. I think you are biased.For a little while, Dead Stop was probably the best hardcore band around. From fecking Belgium.

Show looks fun though.I was fortunate enough to catch these fellas at Roskilde Festival this year. Brilliant show, beautiful sound.

Just seen this. Seven years have passed and you're still no closer to qualifying as a Bengali.Badass?
It's called not taking text on a computer screen seriously. And hating Bengalis with every inch of my soul. Fishy cnuts.
Maybe in the next lifetime though, if you improve yourself for the rest of this one.
Haha wtf
Angelic upstarts?
