Does anyone know of great punk-rock bands?

Question

Does anyone know of any great bands that aren't well-known. They need to be like my chemical romance, aiden, taking back sunday...

Answer 1

I would have to agree with the smiths fan.

The bands you mentioned are not punk...at all. I suspect you are not that deep into music as a whole to know this and that is okay everyone starts somewhere. But, if you are that far away you might want to venture out from the suburbs; past the local mall; inside the city limits, and find a good record store that has been there a while. A place that still sells LPs on vinyl [records]. Now go on and learn something. Go grow up and make us proud.

Answer 2

um well mayb you could try:

-hopes die last

-before their eyes

-choidos

-chemical vocation

-shutterfly

-burden of a day

-scarlet affair

they might b quite well-known =/ but theyr pretty good

and most prob u alrdy kno em but just in case..u should chek out ecsape the fate they'r totally awesome!

Answer 3

look up these record labels:

- Fat Wreck Chords

- vagrant

- epitaph

- nitro records

- Kung fu records

and by the way, Aiden is NOT punk rock. that's like saying Avril Sk8er Boi is a punk rocker.

for great punk rock, look for the bands on those labels, namely, NOFX Less Than Jake, Anti-Flag, Rancid, the distillers, the decendants, the explosion, fenix tx, goldfinger, mad caddies, and many many more

Answer 4

Here are some REAL punk bands:

The Adverts, s*x Pistols, The Toy Dolls, The Ramones.

Hope that helps your question.

Answer 16

I know many many truly great punk rock bands, unfortunately you disqualify yourself from being allowed to listen to them due to the drivel you believe constitutes punk rock.

Answer 17

Here is old school punk- The Reds,The Damned, The Jam, Ian Dury & the Blockheads, and we can't forget about The Clash,s*x Pistols, P.I.L.
