This is the place to talk about your favourite band(s) and Punk subgenre(s). Personally, I love a lot of bands with the majority of them coming from the Crust Punk and Oi! subgenres. My favourite Crust band is Septic Death with Capitalist Casualties coming second. In Oi! I'm an admirer of the Italian and Spanish scenes with bands like Los Fastidios, Non Servium, Oi! The Arrase and Ostiada Oi! being the bands that I listen the most when I listen to Oi!. Of course, I like bands from other scenes too like Angelic Upstarts (and who doesn't) and Cock Sparrer. I am also keen on the Greek Punk scene with bands such as Valpourgia Nyxta (excellent Folk Punk), Arxi Tou Telous and Anatellon Tromos (Crust Punk / Thrash Metal hybrid) being my favourites.

Have you ever listened to other Punk subgenres like Crust, Oi! and Ska Punk?

The only Crust Punk band I've listened to is The Piass. I liked what I heard. I just gave a listen to Fat Fetishism and it's indeed a good Crust song. I see that you're very interested in the Japanese music scene and culture. If that's true then you have to give a listen to Guillotine Terror (Japanese Crust) and GISM (the most historical Japanese Hardcore Punk band in existence). I bet that you'd like those to. As long as Oi! is concerned I would advice you to give a listen to Angelic Upstarts, Los Fastidios, Ostiada Oi! and Non Servium. That would give you a clear image of what Oi! is. For Ska Punk you should give a listen to Ska-P. Here are some videos for you to watch: Angelic Upstarts - Solidarity: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rJfv0zVnwU Non Servium - Ratas: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ycQ7C_w4MI Ostiada Oi! - Euskadi: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bOqgoIAJdo Ska-P - Mestizaje: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13EGZHi6BvY Los Fastidios - Birra, Oi! e divertimento: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C06Z0Oe64fc Enjoy!   Back to top xXMelancholiaXx Guest Karma: applaud / smite 1.00 Gil Posted: Thu Aug 28, 2008 10:45 am    Post subject: · Quote Thanks. They were interesting. I've never really explored the Punk Rock genre much. Ska Punk seemed rather odd though. I really enjoyed the last song.

They're the ones that put me into Punk. Very good band and Birra, Oi! e divertimento is among their best songs (along with Amici, Friends and Contiamo Su Di Voi). From the songs I posted above though my clear favourite is Non Servium's Ratas.

I should explore the genre a bit more. _________________ Everything here is so cold Everything here is so dark I remember it as from a dream In the corner of this time.........

Sex Pistols ... the Clash's "I Fought the Law." Those aren't hardcore punk at all. Anyway, my fav punk band is probably Amebix, who basically invented my fav subgenre of punk (crust). Anybody got good obscure crust bands to recommend?

I've never looked into punk rock too heavily. I mean, I did love God Save The Queen from The Sex Pistols, and some stuff from the Ramones, but that's the only stuff I really got into. Oh and I guess since No Doubt was considered Ska Punk to some extent, that counts a bit, right? I should re-explore the glory days.... anyone have any good Ska Punk for me?

It's pretty damn good, but I like thier older stuff better. The only punk I like is any band that Wednesday 13 was/is in. _________________ When night falls, she cloaks the world In impenetrable darkness A chill rises from the soil And contaminates the air Suddenly...

Like, the kind of stuff I should start with when learning about Ska Punk. I'd recommend Ska-P to you. I have posted a Ska-P video earlier in this thread (I posted Mestizaje to be precise) that could put you in the Ska-P spirit. DGYDP wrote: Anybody got good obscure crust bands to recommend? Sure. As I said earlier Crust is one of my favourite Punk subgenres. Here you go: 1) Skaven - Great Crust with a Doomy quality. If you liked Amebix's Monolith, you'll love them. 2) Guillotine Terror - One of the leading Japanese Crust bands. Lyrics in Japanese (most of the time). 3) GISM - They're not exactly Crust (I'd rather classify them as Hardcore Punk that often borders Speed Metal) but you owe to yourself to check out those Asian legends. 4) Anatellon Tromos - Crust Punk that borders Thrash Metal and has a slight doomy quality. Highly recommended. Lyrics in Greek. 5) Capitalist Casualties - Speedy Crust with vocals that easily border Thrash Metal. Among my favourite Crust bands. 6) Septic Death - Words lose their meaning when it comes for Septic Death. A must for every Crust fan. 7) Psychosis - Very good metallic Crust with lyrics that border Death / Thrash. Misery - Heavily influenced by Amebix and Antisect these guys are great. They exist from 1987 and they're still going. You can check their MySpace here -> http://www.myspace.com/miserycrust 9) Stuck On Ceiling - More of a Hardcore / Crossover band but still they deserve your attention mainly due to their great guitar work and awesome vocals. 10) Haine Brigade - Good Anarcho-Punk band that is highly influenced by Crass. 11) Falll Of Efrafa - They're basically a neo-Crust band that has taken a lot of influence from post-rock but I like them. Take some links to Punk blogs, too.
