but some of that shit...lyrically...was almost petic...almost. angry poetry. from the cradle to the grave was a decent album.


maybe you need to listen to subhumans again, because if anything, they are one of the least boring bands in chaos punk genre and definately one of the most profecient and technically demanding examples... have you even listened to 29/29 split vision?

Not old, but easily one of my favourite bands right now...
Check out Be Bad.
They play real noisy punk/rock, kind of taking hints from like, Black Flag and the MC5 and all that... but different...

Dead-Air 09.11.2007 09:11 PM

Some of my favorites (aside from the ones you said were obvious, though many of these might be too):

Germs
Flipper
Frightwig
Man is the Bastard (though I'll admit I'm more into side project Bastard Noise)
Pussy Galore
Weirdos
Minutemen
Screamers
Dicks
Big Black
Wire (only Pink Flag qualifies as "angry punk rock" per se, but oh, what an amazing album of it! many great records otherwise!)
Dead Boys
The Ex
U-men (best forgotten Seattle band of all time!)
Birthday Party
Teenage Jesus and the Jerks (to me they were really primarily a punk band despite the whole No Wave thing)
Derelicts (another great forgotten Seattle band)
Gits (ditto, slightly less forgotten)
Poison Idea
Crass
Bikini Kill
God is My Co-Pilot
Flesh Eaters
Big Boys
X
Descendants
Misfits
Lime Spiders
and going way back The Sonics!

I left off a few groups like the Buzzcocks and the Damned who I love, but who arguably don't seem very "angry".

k-krack 09.11.2007 09:27 PM

Dead-Air mentioned all the classics (and more) I would've, had I chosen that route.

Anything loud that's Albini-related is a go, punk or not.

Norma J 09.11.2007 09:52 PM

Awesome mentions so far. First thing that came into my head when I read the thread title was VOID! Which Everyneurotic mentioned. Who Are You? is one of the coolest songs ever written.

She wasn't particularly small that I remember, but I suppose being on stage behind a powerful band like that probably made her seem larger than life to me. I'm sure it would have taken a huge guy to fuck with her, as she wasn't a wimpy femme by any stretch of the imagination. Of course she had been drinking at the Comet Tavern last anyone saw her that night, so that put her at a disadvantage. Just fucked up though. Of course just as bad when it happens to people who aren't semi-famous for being in an up and coming band too.

Everyneurotic 09.11.2007 11:57 PM

i wouldn't call many of the bands mentioned here punk.

if it's because of attitude and not musical style, then listen to whitehouse and sutcliffe jügend, that shit is pissed!

Phlegmscope 09.12.2007 01:27 AM

The Shitlickers
Harry Pussy
Unsane

atsonicpark 09.12.2007 02:07 AM

well, I dunno if they've been mentioned, but a lot of the real pissy punk stuff like early Honor Role, F.Y.P, Toys that Kill, and Fleshies might be up your alley.

Onani Nic 09.12.2007 09:36 AM

VOID!!!!!
My favourite hardcore punk band, sloppy, angry, insane.

Also Negative Approach, DRI (first album), Red cross first 7" (angsty catchy teenage punx, not the wussy indie band they turned into).

Everyneurotic 09.12.2007 09:51 AM

harry pussy? unsane? wire?

fuck man, i thought it was supposed to be a punk rock thread.

Phlegmscope 09.12.2007 09:59 AM

Rob Instigator 09.12.2007 12:51 PM

UNSANE!!!!

I fucking LOVE UNSANE!

atsonicpark 09.12.2007 01:50 PM

would hardly consider unsane "punk", but if we're going down that route...
commander kilkin
cutthroats 9 (unsane side project that is BETTER than unsane!)
dove
enemymine
floor
fudge tunnel
godheadsilo
halo of flies
nation of ulysses
theory of ruin
the vss

are worth your time!

Rob Instigator 09.12.2007 02:17 PM

tis true.

unsane not punk

unsane harsher and more abrasive than 99% of al punk even dares to be.

Instigator Video Jukebox - UNSANE

atsonicpark 09.12.2007 02:27 PM

exactly. that's why it's weird to see em listed next to "germs".oh, and on the bands i just listed, can't believe i forgot my old userpic... CHERUBS!

Rob Instigator 09.12.2007 02:29 PM

atsonicpark 09.12.2007 02:33 PM

dwarves fucking rock. "i'm livin i'm livin in the backseat of my car!" I wanted to make "Everybody needs an antibody" my yearbook quote senior year (I decided on "you tried and you failed, so the lesson is: never try" instead)

GG's music sucked though. his vibe and his lyrics and such were very much better than the actual tunes behind his songs.
the dwarves had much better music.
