PUNK Music Draft - Now Ongoing post awesome punk songs thread (1 Viewer)

406 was a cool punk band in my high school.  So named because whatever the McDonald's order was always came out to that amount and through the talk box sounded like "oral sex"

Did a bunch 7”s, a cd, a dwarves tribute double 7, forgotten rebels tribute double cd, and a Pelado Records compilation called 3 minute hero, and a Jackpot records comp.

This old metalhead is really digging the playlist on Spotify. My limited punk knowledge was of the Sex Pistols, Misfits, Ramones, The Clash, Black Flag and a few others with special love for Suicidal and Bad Brains. Same dude that introduced me to Slayer also got us all digging Suicidal's Institutionalized. We did a couple of Bad Brains songs in the metal band I sang with back in the 80's. Got heavy into ska when it had it's revival with ...(don't want to spotlight)

So far, among those added on Spotify, I really like The Adverts, Wire, The Saints, Stiff Little Fingers, Big Black, Sleater-Kinney, Fear, Idles. Looking forward to looking deeper into some of them.

Good #### all around though. I hope they all get added to the playlist. :thumbup:

I think I owe 3 picks 

This is Joe Public speaking!
(C-O-N control) I'm controlled in the body, I'm controlled in the mind!
(Total) This is the punk rockers!
(C-O-N control) We're controlled in the price of the  drugs we can find

The Clash-Complete Control

Originally was going to be my 1st pick but the blink pick knocked me off my pins. I love this song , probably my favorite song from the 1st punk wave . Mick Jones shreds, blistering assault on guitar  and his backing vocals really make thi. I big FU to CBS records

Live version

Bruce is one of the less than 200000 musicians I technically know.  My roommate Monica dated Bruce's roommate Craig circa 1983.  I hung out at their place a number of times as we did back then. 

Somebody else associated with the band must have lived near me on Oak and Divisadero because I used to see their van parked in the neighborhood almost every day.

Alas, I was born too late to have seen their original iteration, but I have heard plenty of stories.  I still get a charge hearing music so reductive and f’d up.  I always thought of them as a kind of West Coast analogue to the NY No Wave stuff, but I’m probably over thinking it.

SF used to have a thriving punk scene when I moved here in 1982.  Clubs still booked local and touring punk acts.  You could go see five bands in a night at the Mabuhay or upstairs at the On Broadway.  Most of them were forgettable but the crowd was always good for a hoot.  On weekends, there were usually after hours warehouse venues if you were still wired and could figure out transportation from North Beach to the Mission.  That was a long time ago and it's all gone now; the Fab Mab space now hosts corporate events and the few punks that are left are probably homeless. 

I never considered myself a punk.  I worked temp jobs in an office and wore a tie every day.  But I lived with a bunch of punks, some who even occasionally paid rent.  Our flat was always full of people, you'd never knew who you'd find crashed on the couch in the morning.  It was a lifestyle I had aspired to since I was a teenager in Milwaukee but it got old pretty fast.  Speed, malt liquor and cigarettes isn't a sustainable diet. Sometimes you just had to kick everybody out and get some sleep.  I stayed in that place for a couple of years but got out a few months before everybody got evicted.  I was with the future Mrs. Eephus by then and had settled in to domesticity.  True story:  we were introduced to each other by a mutual friend who lived with Darren Peligro of the DKs.  I'm still Facebook friends w/ D.H. and I'm glad he's been able to make a living without having to work a day job.

Post script.  I was invited to a memorial service last year for a couple of punks who passed away.  Sonny was a street punk who'd crashed at our place a number of times.  Jil was a speed dealer who'd bonded with me because we were the only two people in our circle who owned baseball gloves.  Playing catch in GG park on a Sunday was therapeutic.  I went past the address for the memorial a couple of times because I thought I had been given the wrong address.  I finally entered an unmarked door and wandered down a dark passageway.  It led to a motorcycle repair space with another entrance off an alley.  But behind the bike parts, there was a stage and a punk band setting up.  There wasn't a lot of people there and I didn't know anybody.  I paid my respects, listened to the band for a few songs and headed out.  But it was good to know that the music was still there.

 
7.6 - Gone - Peter Gone

Since round 7 is the weirdo round, I'm picking this Greg Ginn side project.  Gone was an 80s SST power trio that did all instrumentals.  This is the most punk sounding track on the Gone record I had; other songs dabbled a bit with funk and jazz.  I hadn't listened to it in decades but it's on Spotify.

wow, very cool.  We survived on a similar diet - speed, cheap beer and cigarettes (clove though).  I smoked plenty of pot, but wasn't a huge fan.  Loved speed and acid - just had to make sure there was plenty of beer around.  We didn't start the evenings out until 10pm or so unless there was a band we wanted to see. 

I was in the Dayton, OH area and there was a pretty decent punk scene at the time ('76-early 80s).  Can't remember the band name but the drummer played nothing but different trash cans and lids - sounded great.  The only band that made it to any degree from that time was "Toxic Reasons" - pretty good though.

@Eephus did I ever ask you if you knew my friend cintra (sometimes aka cintra sinatra) from those early days?

Cintra Wilson?  The Cintra?  She was originally from Marin.

She dated my roommate Dave circa 1985-86.  This was after I left the crash palace described above and moved to the Mission.  Cintra attended our wedding (I think she crashed my bachelor party as well but my memory is foggy).  Interesting woman and more fun than a barrel of monkeys.  She mastered a 21st century snarkyness a decade and a half before its time.  I see one of her novels is on Kindle for $1.99 so I may queue it up for old time's sake.

Toxic Reasons moved to SF in the 80s.  I'm pretty sure I saw them back in the day.

As soon as you described  that previous post, I figured you  must have. But still crazy small world and all.

My oldest and quasi-bestest friend from elementary school. But we lost her for a bit during her heady, pre-success, "I'm a punk" days to the city and lots and lots of drugs. Dropped out of HS and was gone a for a long stretch (including a family induced year  in pre glasnost Poland instead of juvie/prison) until her first play showed up (appropriately called Juvee). My mom taught her english., so I'll partially claim responsibility for her abilities....except...she's one of the only true geniuses I've ever known, so nothing was teaching her or getting in her way except herself. The genius was frustrating to be around for me. Even though a lot of things came kind of easily to me, I supplemented through hard work as well. Cintra could just do anything without trying...and do it brilliantly. Oh, I think I'll learn accordian/guitar/astrophysics/whatever....and instantly learn it. She ruined me on guitar, which to this day is still a mystery to me, and pisses me off that I couldn't just pick one up the first time and play it the way she did.

Madness - The Prince
Click to expand...
Funny, I think of One Step Beyond -- the song -- every time I hear Madness by Prince Buster. Made the connection, just didn't pursue it too much. I'm not necessarily a ska guy, but it was actually a few years ago I got into Prince Buster, IIRC, and I always think of One Step Beyond. Was never too into Madness. (Days are flying as I get older. Last year sounds convenient, but I think it was two or three years. Regardless, if you didn't know the Prince...)

Thanks for wrapping the bow on that connection.  

King of Bluebeat?  

Might have taken a different song that I'm listening to now off of another album, but I'll save it and won't spotlight. Let's just say ska, IMHO, falls right in line with the punk progenitors. People's mileage may vary on that, but I feel pretty good about it.

I went to a concert last night with 4 local rock bands. It was pretty great. I drank all the beer. I should be more on top of this next week. 

 
Channel 3 (CH3) - Mannequin

This may not be my favorite song of theirs but it is definitely the one I remember grabbing me into their music by virtue of being the first track of the album. I linked the whole album since it’s one of those that I love top to bottom. These guys are still touring and put on a good show

Sirry if I jumped ahead of people but wanted to get this in before I’m too drunk to format this properly

 
Talked to a good friend tonight, was in my wedding, that was a hard running buddy back in the day and was the guy that turned me onto punk.  He flipped out when I told him we were talking about punk - and that I couldn't remember the local Dayton bands except for Toxic Reasons.  

Dementia Precox was the band where the guy played trash cans.  This is the only video I could find, but didn't look hard (ugh tried to paste ...the address goes on and on - never seen anything like it - just type in the band name at youtube).

One other band that was ####in' great was The DatesXXX.  Can't find anything on the internet about them - had a great girl lead singer.  They did the song about an ####### county commissioner of the day Abner Orick - it was awesome.  Another band my buddy mentioned was the Subhumans.  I looked them up - its a British band but apparently they were around Dayton quite a bit in those days.  

He reminded me of the main couple of places where we went to see the bands.  The main bar was a place called Sam's Pub.  When I watched this video, it gave me chills - remember walking into that place so many times, the bands always played right there against the subway tile wall really close to the bar.  The bar took up most all of the right side of the bar.  

He was laughing about the time we were there for the Toxic Reasons and we had consumed a great deal of crank, beer and schnapps he had taken from his parents.  He told me that we stomped on the sinks and tore them off the wall.  I don't remember that.   :bag:

The other main place for newer start bands was Rip Rap Park in Huber Heights.  It was just a picnic shelter.  And for some reason the police stayed away for the most part unless things got way out of hand.

Toxic Reasons were great.

The band you are thinking of is probably Dementia Praecox.  From 75-88, it seems like every city in Ohio had about 3 absolutely messed up bands.

 
Taking care of my aughts or cover pick here. Not sure what to do. Gut tells me my cover won't get sniped, but the aughts will. 

So the aughts. 

8.xx

The Hives - The Hives- Declare Guerre Nucleaire

If ever a band declared an album, it was this slab of monstrousness that shook up everything in the aughts. On Burning Heart records, Howlin' Pelle Almqvist and crew showed Sweden to be punk rock luminaries with this record. So far ahead of its time, yet seemingly almost quaint now, these were the first sounds that had moved me in years. 

The only band to launch a nuclear war on music, really. 

Too bad they weren't a great live act.

What is your take on Blink? I knew it would be decisive. There does seem to be a generational gap with them where people say 40 and over tend to not like them and people under 40 tend to think they were one of the best things going in late 90s music.

I think you underestimate the influence Blink had on emo, pop punk and even now modern rap.

This belongs in the con column.
