I won't waste anyone's time by listing small local bands that have a nice old school sound (well I can do it if someone's interested), but I really have to recommend this band (and this song) to anyone who has ever liked old school hardcore: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQOftzeuNPE
They're definitely not from Finland and they're not that small (well compared to most band's listed here they are), for me this band is like an epitome of what good hardcore can be: fast, desperately angry and almost beautifully melodic. They're also absolutely brilliant live.

Haven't really been listening to 'em old bands. Got a load of old 7''s downloaded but I just haven't found too
much of interest to listen to 'em. Of course yeah, it's almost expected of newer punx to know all the old ones for "street cred" etc shit.. BUUT, I don't really care about that. Not really into those garage crappy sounding tunes without bass but more of guys screaming into a mic without any regard to the music. Sure, many old punk bands have been most about having something to say.. But I'm more with Mr.Brett and his way to make a good sounding vessel for the message so it will even reach some more people that aren't just "in the scene". Punks kinda always tried to keep it a somewhat inside thing imo. I in a way like the thought of it but then, not, in another way. If I listen to older US stuff then I've mostly stayed to: TSOL, Minor Threat, Agent Orange, Black Flag and The Misfits. If we go to UK punk: Sex Pistols(of course), The Exploited(my absolute fave) and GBH.. |

Yup, he's been in a few bands since Op Ivy ended, the more popular of which being Common Rider--a criminally underrated group that only got overshadowed by the similar-sounding Sublime, if you ask me. The first EP his group Classics of Love put out, Walking In Shadows, is downright spectacular. Very excited for the full-length's release. |

I never thought that one should listen to bands just get some street cred or whatever. Of course punk rock is just like any other phenomenon out there: to understand and comment it you should know it's history, but you can read a book or watch a documentary series about that if you really don't want to spend your time listening to classic bands. I've always thought that if you like punk rock you would be interested to hear more of it.
For me at least the guys/gals who play and make punk rock themselves should know the "roots". It's not a coincidence that people who have listened to a variety of bands happen to write songs that manage to sound catchy and fresh while staying true to the sound they're trying to achieve. People who start (often mediocre) punk bands and end up changing the style with synthesizers and shit saying "punk is so restricted, you can't do much with it" USUALLY (hah not saying anything about Mr.Brett & Graffin) didn't knew/love punk in the first place. When you know more songs you become more critical of what you do: you'll know what great guitar riffs etc. sound like, you know what makes a good song and on the other hand what has been done way too many times. It's a different thing to take inspiration from certain bands than to write songs that recycle the same old structures in boring ways. We've all heard what happens when you just like Bad Religion or Pennywise and decide to start a band... Just listened through Walking In Shadows by Classics of Love (available in Spotify), not too bad but not really my cup of tea, it's surprisingly poppy. edit: a few more sentences about why people in punk bands should listen to punk rock
