The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Right, the Hip Hop thread that's been started in this forum seems to be ticking over quite nicely so I thought I'd try out another genre. I've never really visited many other forums but a quick scan round some music boards recently has led me to find some great bands. For example, this week I followed up a recommendation to check out Boys Night Out, it turns out they're great and are playing London in 2 weeks. Yay!
So, if anyone's into punk/post-punk/emo/hardcore... whatever the hell you wanna label things, please chat here about music, albums, gigs, gossip and help me find some more cool bands to go see live.
I like stuff from loads of different genres, but the punk stuff I'm currently into includes Alkaline Trio, Braid, Fugazi, Minor Threat, Gorilla Biscuits, Lagwagon, NOFX, Taking Back Sunday, Brand New, Matchbook Romance, Saves The Day, Rocket From The Crypt, Jawbreaker, Lawrence Arms, Boys Night Out, Hot Water Music, The Ataris etc. etc.

Listen to United By Fate until it gets under your skin and then you will never stop. Grrrr.....

Hmmm. Domestica is okay I suppose - more of a concepty-album, but good. Such Blinding Stars For Starving Eyes is probably better. While you look, get False Cathedrals by Elliott. Genius, genius, genius. As is Worship + Tribute (Glassjaw) and anything by RS. *rants*

Hmmmm. Just got Blink 182's latest, haven't listened to it yet though.
Do Lost Prophets count as punk? Surely Offspring are practically just pop now aswell?
Why do bands that people hold up as being 'punk greats' sound really boring like Greenday and Fugazi?
Surely punks more a state of mind now: Are pitchshifter punk? Are Whale punk?
What about electronic punks? Like the prodigy?
Eh eh eh?

But he started out in the Gorilla Biscuits, and they're better than all of them. 'Start Today' is possibly the finest sXe hardcore record ever made.

I'm actually going to see Cursive next week, they're supporting the Ataris. I've got one of their CDs (Ugly Organ?) but I've heard some good stuff about them. What's their best CD and I'll check it out before the gig.

Elliott
Glassjaw
Cursive
Rival Schools
Not sure which they fit into.....Glassjaw is 'hardcore' to an extent I suppose. Elliott is emo, and the others are just class, Rival Schools especially. United By Fate is by far my favourite non-Pumpkins album.
