So, first, I want to thank everyone for watching this video. I worked hard on it, for almost 3 weeks! So your time is appreciated. There will be a part 2, talking about more bands, so feel free to put any I forgot or just didn't mention in the comments. Second, it seems I messed up a couple things as well so here is where I will put any corrections needed. EDIT - IF ANYONE WANTS TO SUBMIT PHOTOS, INFO, or ANYTHING TO HELP WITH EPISODES, or WANTS TO SUBMIT MUSIC FOR REVIEW OR CONSIDERATION FOR MY LABEL, YOU CAN DO IT HERE: THEPUNKROCKREVIEW@GMAIL.COM ** I said the Casualties "On The Front Line" came out in 2014 and that Jorge left the band in 2007, but I was reading too fast and as it was pointed out to me, I mixed it up and Jorge left in 2017 and OTFL was released in 2004. Sorry about that! ** Apparently Mark Unseen was the lead singer "way before State Of Discontent" as well. That I didn't know, so my apologies. Maybe I will re-record the video one day and put up an amended version.... As for right now, it is on to Part 2! Stay tuned!!!! -Randall
Blanks 77 for sure, the other bands may be talked about in other videos, I personally don't think of them as Street Punk. But they are definitely good bands and will get coverage on this channel!
Sick video, really did appreciate! So well done. Here's some potential bands for episode 2: The Restarts, Cheap Sex, The Agrestix, Kill Your Idols, Moose Knuckle.
Kids these days are missing out on the LINER NOTES! I would go through every single page reading lyrics, who produced the record, what label it was on, and most importantly, who they thanked! It's similar to seeing your fav band wearing a shirt from a band you haven't heard, you get this impulse to explore whoever influenced your influences. I got into a ton of these street punk bands by reading about them in liner notes and seeing them on shirts and patches.
Yes! We talk a out this exact thing on the channel all the time. I need to make a note of it and talk about it in another video. I have more episodes of this on the way!!!
I obsessively read the Liner notes too! And combed over any and ever band picture looking for band logos on patches t-shirts and painted onto jackets. Also I would go to Borders and Barnes and Noble and steal copies of MaximumRockNRoll and read the record reviews. Bruce Rhoers was really into Oi/Streetpunk and covered all the big name bands of the era in his column.
I would devour liner notes, along with the artwork and any pictures on the album sleeves. I loved bands like Crass and the Dead Kennedys whose records would come with tons of information, like little zines - I would read them over and over 👍. It really showed me just how much they cared what they were doing putting all that work into something that they really meant, alongside the music to create something that really meant something.
Blanks 77's "Tanked and Pogoed" was the most talented record of this era for me. I also love "For The Punx" by The Casualties and even promoted a couple of their shows in North-Western part of Russia several years ago. We were detained and fined by police in Murmansk - I think the officers didn't appreciate their "ACAB" video-clip 😂
Yo My Man, thanks for putting this out there making me relive my teen and 20's all over again and rehearing songs that i had totally forgotten... I recently had a discussion with a friend who had asked me what was Punk and you basically said the same i had told him the difference between the types of punks and all totally gonna share this video with him. Oi, Oi, Oi!!!
Pack is back is one of the best albums of all time. for some reason very few people know of them, but I've been listening to them since mid 90's and still do today. can't say that about all bands from that era
Glad you have Oxymoron in your video. I got The Pack is Back in '97 and stayed a favorite for years. Saw them in 2001. What a great band. A lot of bands you have were on regular rotation at my friend's punk rock party house from '99- 2002. Good, drunk, stupid memories. Cheers!
Back in the day I ran into tons of gatekeepers that would make people feel like shit for just liking a certain song or band. I always hated that attitude. Unfortunately things like that persist to this day.
Yeah you can't talk about Oi/Street Punk without Total Chaos. Anthems From The Alleyway is the definitive oi/street punk album of all time, hands down. I would have left out several of the bands that you covered and thrown Headnoise and Officer Negative in there and a mention to 90lb Wuss' first album. But leaving out TC is a cardinal sin.heh
Total Chaos is a fucking glam punk band.....no different from 80's hair band...dumbass who deleted my original post needs to thicken their skin....why the fuck would you censor someone's opinion you cuck??!! There no coincidence that one of the members was in an 80's tribute band for a while, AFTER TOTAL CHAOS....how do I know this?? My ex dated the douchebag...gtfoh and grow some balls. I watched you're entire video with no complaints and liked it.....stop being a fucking gatekeeper itch boi.....everyone is entitled to their own opinion regardless of how you feel.... Grow up.🤦🏻♂
Great video and great bands. Glad to see someone is giving both the great bands and scene a documentary. The Casualties are still my favourite of this era and scene and got me into so many other great bands
Well, I appreciate that, I worked really hard on it. Not perfect, but I definitely put my best foot forward. And I'll be doing more things in this style, it was fun and challenging. Thank you for the kind words.
I was thinking this exact thing! I think this was offered up to me because I watched a punk rock MBA video.. and that dude comes across as the posers poser!
@kevelephant1311 that dude is such a tool. The bar is so low with any "punk history" video I honestly don't know why I still click. I guess because I'm always hoping for something like this!
Solid documentary. You are a fellow punk rocker my friend. I salute you. I’m here reppin Dallas TX RED BLOOD CLUB scene! Unit 21!!! Zerstoren! Frontline Attack! The Scandals. All amazing friends from the Dallas scene. Up the punx!!!
Btw you forgot SS Kaliert!!! Haha. Also, I saw a written interview with Dave from Clit 45 in 2003 and he said they named their band as “sex and violence” clit for sex and 45 as like a gun. Just rewatched this again. Great documentary
For me, it wasn't even a band, it was a film. SLC Punk was my introduction, and it was very much a slippery slope. I'd rush down to my local record store at least 2-3 times a week asking if they had sampler CD's and I found tons of music I never knew existed. Then I started buying budget friendly compilation albums once I had money. Give Em The Boot vol 2, vol 3, and AMP's Street Punk compilations were some of my first.
The Suicide Machines & Mustard Plug from over here in Michigan via Detroit & Grand Rapids bridge that gap for us over here and introduced finding out about The Laughing Hyenas & Negative Approach. That led to a life as a bartender and drummer in the Detroit punk scene for myself for many many years in my 20s & 30s. Ultimately being honored to share the stage with John Brennon w/ Negative Approach when they were getting recognized nationally when they released the album "Nothing Will Stand In Our Way" in 2011 while playing drums in the new wave, proto punk band REPLICAS in November 2011. One of the most memorable shows I've been a part of after decades of playing in the Detroit music scene. 🥂 💉 👃🏼🤘🏼🖤
I remember in GR when the Varukers and the Causalities played in this tiny VFW hall sometime in 1996ish and we all ended up over at Jeff's house from the band Larva for an after party with both bands. I wasn't that much into the street punk scene as I was more into the then 1st wave of US Crust stuff that was popping around in the early and mid 90's but I LOVED that Pogo Attack comp and those two tracks Casualties added to. I am almost 50 now and I am the youngest in my family, had an older brother 8 years older and a sister who is 6 years older and they where both heavily into the Detroit 80's hardcore scene and around 1985 they both seemed to get into other things and gave me all of their US hardcore punk records and some of their Anarcho UK records. Negative Approach's first 7" along with the Necro's IQ 32 and Sex Drive 7" where among the pile of records along with Crass, Subhumans, Exploited, Germs and just a bunch more. Haven't been the same since.
As an elder emo slowly morphing into punk, ( ideology and all) Ive been diving into the music, but I have now found thanks to your video that I love the heaviness and energy of street punk. ❤ Thanks for not being some elitists in a community Ive always wanted to join and shared the same views of..
Randall, I've said it on the livestream, but I say it again: this is freakin' awesome. Allow me to leave my request for individual vídeos for Casualties and Stza (or Choking Victim/LOC), however i understand that you may prefer not on this last one. But regarding The Casualties, at least, please do it!
Solid vid, bro. Can definitely tell you put the work in on this. Bummer to hear you’re not a fan of A Clockwork Orange. I love that flick, and my first tattoo is from a poster for it. My band back in college used to cover “Ultraviolence” at most of our shows. To each their own though, bud. This was a great list, including some of my all time favs. Look forward to the follow up!
Im 43 now and IM glad I was entrenched in this scene when it was happening. I was at the clit 45 show you used. Im in the video actually of the whole concert when I go on stage. I also got to open for many of these acts in your video and put some shows together when I was in El Paso and in So Cal. This brings back memories.
Great video. Keep up the good work man. I listen to a lot of these band already. But there're definitely a few bands you mentioned in the video that I've never even heard of before. So I'll need to check them out at some point.
Nice! I'm working on a part 2 and an Origins of Street Punk videos I'm working on currently, so hopefully I'll have similar responses to those. Thanks for watching
Thank you! And yes, Part 2 will include most of those bands! Inset up a new email address for the channel today, so people can send photos and info to me for videos
I loved it when people realized that the guy in the Restarts was gay. At the time it really helped me realize what a conventional sausage party streetpunk really was. It started to seem like all the people in the scene might as well have just been frat boys with spikey hair and bandage pants. I mean for all the talk about rebellion i didnt see much actuall rebellion was even allowed. Like the moment a woman tried to do anything other then be hot a wear a chelsea it was frowned upon. Nevermind actually expressing any actual anti capitallist/anti fascist political opinions beyond vague slogans recycled from the original British punk..... alright I'm done. I probably sound more bitter about it then I really am. I'm still a punk and I still love this shit.
Oi! Scouts too! Even though they only have one album they need to be mentioned, I'm from LA and when they announced they would do a come back show literally everyone I knew was beyond stoked, I never realized how influential they were.
I will add them to the Part 2. I definitely didn't add them solely bc I considered them a crust punk band, but this could become a series with all the bands I want to talk about!
Great compilation you put up here. Banner of Hope, Devotchkas, from US, plenty from UK and all around the world are missing. It wasnt just Oxymoron from Germany back then, we had couple bands much alike them.
Man.... I do have a soft spot for a lot of these bands. This scene in the 90's was another one of the 90's scenes in New England that owned it. Fond memories of all kinds of shows at places like the 2nd ave Church in Boston, Elvis Room in Portsmouth. Lots of oi and anthemic punk during this era. Saw the Unseen a ton, Pinkerton Thugs, Global Threat, 30 Seconds Over Tokyo, All Systems Stop, and on and on. Some real forgotten gems from that era. External Menace, Blank Generation, Submachine, Red Flag, The Subversives, Working Stiffs, Throwaway Generation, The Boils, The Action, The Krays, The Suspects, Truents, Srychnine, most of the stuff on Helen of Oi .... then things started veering more into garage punk nearing 2000 with bands like Problematics, Riffs, The Bodies/Modern Action, Smogtown, etc. Good memories. Not a lifer though.
Dang, you sound like a lifer! Lol, thanks for watching the video, I appreciate it! I'll keep your list of bands at my reach so I can reference it in future episodes!
@@thepunkrockreview I still own tons of it on vinyl... but I have the curse of what I am told is an Eidectic or Didactic Memory. I have the unusual ability to remember even passing things in extreme detail. It sucks ass. I recommend The Subversives, Boils, and The Suspects. Those are actually three of my favorites from the 90s. Boils and Suspects were from (essentially Philly) and Subversives from Minneapolis... both cities that also had ripping street punk and oi scenes in that era..... Minneapolis had simultaneous crust and street punk scenes that often overlapped technically.
@@ottoacid1800 Technically off and on over the course of four decades. However, their first proper full length and best release by far, The Process of Elimination came out in 1996. One of their most active periods. The album is classic 1990's street punk.
@@CountryMouseCityCrimes Fair enough, The Process Of Elimination was a solid album. Still, I personally consider their best recordings to be their early 80s eps from before Wullie died. Are they still going?
Thank you, I worked hard on this one! Gonna make more episodes though, people seem to enjoy it. And I also wish they still toured, that would be awesome
Great video/list. I saw Swingin Utters a few months back. Johnny wasn't looking too good, and he was wearing what looked to be a hospital bracelet. About halfway through the show he ran off stage and out the front door. Darius took over and sang a song. Then Johnny came back in, took a deep breath, and gave the best performance of Fifteenth & T I could possibly imagine. It was honestly moving. I hope he's doing okay.
I love Swingin Utters. I saw them back in the day with Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards opening for DKM when they were touring for the "Sing Loud, Sing Proud" album. They were SO good, and if I remember correctly, Lars called them the best song writers of the time.
I was really into Street Punk for a while in the mid to late 90s, before I got more into Crust and Powerviolence. I still like a few bands, namely Oxymoron, Violent Society and The Restarts. This was a well put together vid, kudos.
Thanks man, and yeah, I was going to do this video and then a second one later about the bands that were a little less known than the ones I mentioned here. Hopefully get a little help in the comments with bands I don't know or maybe forgot about. I live doing this and I worked so hard on this video, it's nice to see folks enjoying it!
Oi bands are usually skinhead bands. Not racists, but bands like Cock Sparrer and such. Very similar though. I like it all, and admittedly, it's kind of silly to have all the rules and sub genres, lol, but that's just how I've known it since the 90s and I enjoy all the categorization if I'm honest
Great video!! Got me reminiscing with all these bangers you included from my teen and 20s! I waa fortunate enough to catch lots of these bands live when they played here in Houston! Had to share this video with a couple of old friends! For the punx days!
Just last year I ordered a Swingin' Utters shirt with the cover from the album "Here Under Protest" on it. Johnny "Peabucks" Bonnel himself sent me an email that told me that my order might take a while because he makes the tshirts himself. Then what arrived was a pack of six or seven fabric patches a few stickers and the shirt I ordered. Not only do they make top tier punk rock but are also prime examples of everything DIY spirit should stand for. ❤
That's awesome. I also make all my own merch myself, do all my own writing, editing, thumbnails, and have a small label. Guys like Johnny are an inspiration to me!
The clit 45 joke got me. Damn this got me thinking back to my early years. I've seen a good number of these bands and even befriended some. Time to dig out some records and surprisingly look up a few I never listened to.
You may enjoy a deep dive in to some aussie punk with band like depression, cosmic psychos, frenzel romb, no idea, puch the clown and strawberry fist cake. All have their own unique sound that sets them apart from each other. Hope you find something you love that you never knew existed.
British Punk bands such as the Exploited (plus Discharge, GBH, Crass and loads more) were well established by the early eighties. I saw them all at the Mayflower Club in Manchester, UK.
Yeah mate! I know lm gonna cop hate for this, but first time l saw heard Casualties... I just thought it was GBH...dead ringers!! I'm Australian, so it's not a UK vs US thingo!! Hahahaha! At least SLF got a fkn mention!!
I'm going to do an entire episode of UK/European Street punk stuff and then likely a separate one on Oi! Bands. I'll surely make some mistakes but I've never claimed to be the authority on any of this and I'm learning as much as creating with these videos. I certainly don't know everything and wouldn't tell anyone what to like. I am Howe working really hard on this, so I appreciate the support and would be 100% interested in any input one has to future episodes
Get in touch of you need a bit of Brit history. I saw loads of bands during the early eighties, mainly in the north of England. There was a great scene back then@@thepunkrockreview
@@thepunkrockreview Cheers mate, it wasn't a knock on your vid, enjoyed it! Spose you've only got so much time etc.. definitely be watching the next one's mate
@@thepunkrockreviewif you haven't already done it yet can you do a history of The Exploited and all the different members over the years. Just saw them in a really small venue and it was awesome. I also got to chat to the bassist Irish Rob for ages afterward about Architecture (He's a Technician like me!) hes a really cool guy.
@@kristopher1312 thank you for watching! I did an "Origin Of Street Punk" one, too. And I'm working on a French Cold Oi! video right now. Oh, and I did one on Time Armstrong! Working hard at making this type of content
In 2006 I saw an Anti-Flag tour with the Casualties and Unseen opening, it’s such a time capsule moment now lol. I saw so many of those bands multiple times but think that was one of the only times I saw the Unseen, they were good.
decent list of some of the more known bands of that era. Others that were extremely relevant that deserved to be mentioned: - Street Brats - amazing blend of 77 punk with street punk. went on to form Non Believers that picked up after a members death. - The Strap Onz - early band featuring members of Complete Control - Career Soldiers - great stuff from San Diego that had 2 albums. At times they bordered on crust with their riffs - SS Kaliert - excellent stuff from Germany, with first album on Punkcore. - Monster Squad - Endless Struggle - Total Chaos - believe they actually released first stuff in late 80s? Maybe early 90s. Still going today. Love this genre still, and glad to see a bit of a resurgence in it. Some awesome bands have started up, and some killer festivals happen that show that indeed, punks not dead. up da punx!
Some more bands to check out: Antidote (Holland not NY), Endless Struggle, Monster Squad, Devotchkas, A=Self Destruct (another Mark Unseen band!), Also labels like Punk-Core, and Charged. they put out some great shit!
I was super surprised Antidote wasn't mentioned because they fit right in that era. Monster squad is a bit newer so that's probably why they're we're not mentioned, I love Monster squad though, one of my fav bands from this genre.
If anyone hasn't seen/heard of it... There is a documentary called " The other F Word"from 2011. It's about growing up becoming a father and puts the spotlight on a lot guys from rancid, NOFX,US bombs and lots more. in that doc it spends time on Duane from US Bombs because his son was killed in a car accident I believe. Not sure if he's recovered from that
One thing that isn't said in that documentary.. is in regards to Duane Peters Attitude.. Its a Huntington Beach thing.. a staple of the street life of OC Punk.. locals only.. Fight for it.. Cheers from Westminster/Huntington Beach CA 🇺🇸
This was very well done bravo… I have a few additions for the masses to listen to as well : Antidote, the pist, devotchkas, narcoleptic youth, endless struggle, funeral dress, total chaos, street brats, and the rarities. Now I know there are plenty more just figured I’d mention these that stand out. I listen to everything and for what it’s worth OG Green Day is fun, after American idiot forget about it. That’s dope you podcast as do I . I talk music movies video games anime toys and books I’d be down to do an episode.
Thank you for watching and I will be doing a Part 2 I think, so I'll take note of the bands you mentioned! As far as a collab, I'm always down! Shoot me an email 👊
I mean, personally, I think that is REAL dumb, and still think they were the biggest street punk band. The point is to get the msg to as many people as you can, and they did that better than anyone BECAUSE of the label. But I mean, you can feel about them however you want and we can still be friends! It's just a conversation, I appreciate your thoughts 👊
@@thepunkrockreview If you think those generic punk platitudes were a message that needed to get out I don’t know what to say. But anyway, I wouldn’t like them either on a small DIY label so for me it doesn’t make a difference. It’s just that such a commercial enterprise is so antithetical to the original idea of street punk (but well, this is an endless dilemma in the history of punk in general, so whatever).
Of course it was, lol. There has to be accessible gateway bands to get kids deeper into it. To say that's not the case is just flat out wrong. Now, weather you want to support them or not is a different conversation. And why is another one as well. But yeah, that msg is 100% necessary. If someone isn't carrying the torch, it dies out... you have to comprise a little on order to accomplish big things. That is a fact. Personal taste is just a whole different conversation. Also, it sucks that Justin was/is a creep....
Don't forget the sounds of The Strap Onz on Charged Records. Sam from Complete Control was on Vocals on Charged Records. Remember Profane Existence as well. Thanks for the Content.
@@thepunkrockreview Profane Existence records and Zine, most bands were extremely political from the far left. One of the band I enjoyed listening to were Aus Rotten as well. They put out lots of good music not days it's called grindcore or crust punk?
Great video! It’s great living in LA and getting to see almost all of these bands all the time. I’ve seen Lower Class Brats, Casualties, Unseen, etc a lot. Watched A Global Threat blow Conflict offstage a few years back. Was at the final US Bombs show in Orange County and saw the new version of the band a few times (once at that fest It’s Not Dead) and it was uhhh something.
Don't forget about Violent Society, Blanks 77, One Man Army, LES Stitches, Pinkerton Thugs, Adolf and the Piss Artists.........I mean there really was a ton of great street punk bands back then.
Not sure One Man Army is a street punk band... barely considered them punk, more like Rock-N-Roll. I'm literally wearing their shirt right now, they're my 2nd favorite band all time. Not shit talking, just surprised to hear their name in this conversation
They're literally my 2nd favorite band of all time! I was wearing their shirt yesterday! I don't really think of them as "street punk" though. They barely qualify as punk, lol, more or less Rock N Roll
I'm still living in NYC and have not heard anything at all concerning Leftover Crack. By the way that F-Minus Crack Rocksteady 7 split was amazing and led to Brad Logan of F-Minus joing Leftover Crack. The same Brad Logan imortalized by having Rancid write a song about him. Ok that's a wrap for me good night until next time.
Great video! Thanks for the hard work. To clarify, the first three unseen albums had mark and Paul Russo on vocals. In the early days mark and Paul would trade off on drums and vocals/ guitar and vocals. Also, most these bands were on punk core records at some point which is a great resource. Also pistol grip
Yeah im gonna do a Punk-Core Records video at some point. And The Unseen had so many frontman change ups, I'll have to amend my Unseen section in the follow up video. Thanks for watching!
So I opened up for Clit 45 and the Krays up in Dallas back in 05 and I asked Dave where the name came from at the after party at my homegirl's house. Apparently, that was the name of the first porn he ever saw.
Considered them, will definitely add them to part 2! Im working on a Part 2, an Indonesian Punk Rock Doc, and a Women in Punk Doc. Hopefully they'll do well. Anyone that wants to send footage or photos can send it here: thepunkrockreview@gmail.com
@@thepunkrockreview It would be so rad to include Kirsten Patches/Naked Aggression in the Women of Punk doc! The fact that she continues to work as a Special Education teacher while also fronting a punk band has always amazed me. When Roe was overturned & anytime it's mentioned in the news (daily), "Killing Floor" always plays in my head.
This was an awesome video! And a great trip down memory lane. Have you ever listened to A Global Threat’s final LP “Where the Sun Never Sets”? In my opinion, one of the all-time greatest punk rock records.
Thank you, I worked hard on it! Admittedly I made a few mistakes, bit I will try harder in the next one to not make the same ones. I have heard that record but don't remember being into it, if I'm honest. I'll give it another spin, though!
@@thepunkrockreview No worries, just wondered if you had. It’s not necessarily a street punk record. Awesome video though, you’ve got yourself a new subscriber. 👍🏻
I'm on the couch falling asleep. I'm in my 40s now. And this brings me back to my youth . Steer punk oi and boot boys. The good old days To all my pals Uno Oi
I really love those first couple of A Global Threat Albums and The Virus Still Fighting For A Future. Those albums don't seem to get enough love. The Lowerclass Brats have some great albums too. Btw Anti-flag ditched the streetpunk sound when they went to the major label. They actually ditched it even before that when they released the Terror State. That is when I stopped liking the band.
I love all of it, just prefer the ones I talked about. I'm not super familiar w The Virus album you mentioned tho, I'll go check it out. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it 👊
I'm working on part 2 right now, it's the "Origins Of Street Punk" with 10 bands from the early days. It's being edited. Then I'm doing Indonesian Punk, then Women in Punk. After all those I will be doing a Part 3 of this with lesser known bands. So yeah, lol, I'll be busy this summer
Really liked Oxymoron from Germany who sounded very British, they seem completely forgotten now! Their Westworld EP was a masterpiece, the song Run From Reality is pretty great! What was funny is I was living in a very tiny small rural town and just loving this era of "street punk" and never really went to a show or was around any of this scene ever. I was just buying CDs and records in the mail and catching what I could from the final spurt of semi-magazine/zines. I have never been to a street punk show ever, I have seen Dropkick Murphys live but they've long since left their Boys On The Docks sound in the past. Past that I've seen just about every metal band you can think of, for punk it's been so weird, I have caught The Dickies and I like seeing The Spits live, but there's really no modern punk bands I follow. The trickledown effect has worked for death metal I have to say, I never in a million years thought I'd live to see it become a visible and profitable subculture outside of South America and Europe.
I've seen the Spits a bunch of times, my friend Tony (RIP Bunzo) played bass for a band called NoBunny, the Spits took them on tour and i followed them for some of their shows from Oakland south and over to Las Vegas. Definitely not streetpunk but still one of my favorite bands.
Great start...maybe swing up North with your next video and highlight a few Minneapolis and Chicago bands. I lived in Austin TX in the 90's but I missed a few of the bands that you mentioned...thanks for the education. GABBA GABBA HEY !
Gonna set up an email.acct for the channel today so people can email me stuff for videos if they want. I'm trying to do this stuff right, and I appreciate the support 👊
Thanks for doing this. I grew up outside of Boston and got into Green Day and offspring before everything. Made friends with some punk rock kids in high school that got me into TheTrouble,Unseen, Toxic narcotic, AGT and loved that stuff. The biggest thing that kicked me out of it all was liking other stuff like Dropkick Murphys and some oi bands which was heavily frowned upon.How can you listen to street punk but also love Flux of pink Inidians?! that shit got so old I just pulled the ripcord. Im about to turn 40 and revisiting a lot of it.
I grew up in the same area/era. Saw toxic, the trouble, unseen, Pinkerton thugs and best of all out cold. Funny thing about dropkicks they used to play with the all these bands before they got big. Used to see them at the mid East and random church halls.
Nothing wrong with Flux, Conflict, Subhumans, Rudimentary Peni etc etc mate! Listen to what you like.. fk others.. people have to pigeonhole others, makes em feel safer (superior?) psychologically. A few omissions here, no mention of GBH, yet Exploited get a shout out? Chaos UK .. l cd go on til my thumbs hurt... Barring pop...it's still all 'punk'... We've all got preferences.
It was crazy, I got introduced to this older group which I revered at the the time and the first words this dude said to me were" I heard you like the ducky boys and that's awful". To this day I've never listened to a single song of theirs because of that interaction 25 years ago. I loved the Pinkerton thugs and they weren't the same after Micah left. I live in the same area he's from/ or still lives now in Maine@@stillpist
@@thepunkrockreview probably the only all female streetpunk band that I have ever heard of. I can't even think of any bands from that era who had 1 female member.
@@andrewironside3506 I met one of them once! I can't remember her name or what she played but she was in the Menstrual Tramps. She gave me a pin of there's.
Clit 45 doesnt get enough shine so thanks for mentioning them. One of the best "street punk" bands by far and never really got their due but the best album from them is def Self Hate Crimes
Thanks for this video! I love punk, but I grew up in a very religious household so I spent most of the 90’s listening to Christian bands. Many of those bands I still stand by today because they’re musically solid, but that’s a different story. Lists like this help me fill in the gaps in my music vocabulary. It’s good to go back and check out all the kickass bands I missed out on.
Lap Dog, Sillies and Billy Goat up in Denton when Tripping Daisey and Deep Blue Something were getting all the press. Also my greatest album is "Cottage Cheese From the Lips of Death A Texas Hardcore Compilation, Produced by ward 9 records in San Antonio: Really Red, D.R.I., The Offenders, Mydolls, Not for Sale, Big Boys, Prenatal Lust, Stick Men with Ray Guns, Hugh Beaumont Experience, Marching Plague, Butthole Surfers, Bag Gang, The Dicks and Watchtower. That was an 80's "hardcore punk" album tho.
But he is in fact the gateway. People said the same shit about Blink 25 years ago. But his music is AWFUL Things generally quit being actual punk rock when they're more pop than punk. MGK, Blink, NFG, Good Charlotte, most "pop punk" bands today, honestly. But I don't give a shit. It's easier for me to point out what I think really IS punk than to police what isn't.... I don't care as long as kids make it to Rancid and NOFX, ya know? And then some will get to GBH and Discharge... yessir!
That'd be cool I guess, but then there would be almost nobody to keep this alive. You must be the exception not the rule. I mean, I got into it with Rancid, NOFX, and MXPX. All bands that were hated back then. But I love it all now. People need to stop being so pretentious and stop gatekeeping....
@@thepunkrockreview Ok let me tell you what is the perspective of older people on this. Once RKL died off and fat wreck started and epitaph , that was the start of melodic stuff being just party music for party kids. Not that RKL was that different but they had stronger connection to the underground. When bands started entering the mainstream , it watered down the whole scene. Metal comparison would be Black metal ppl burning down the churches and Warrant and Motley kru singing about girls and partying. Later the industry reinvented Emo and bands like black veil brides and all those shitbirds as an EXTENSION of hair metal and girly looking dudes to draw in female population. Remember JBiafra singing about police beating people in the streets , riots , chaos and the government? Well skateboards and baggy jeans supplanted that and the high school mentality overpowered the message. Are we still in the same universe by now? Seems like all got completely severed by 1995..
i was a street punk from 2000- 2018. Those were the days. Great video man. My favorites were The Virus, Cheap Sex, GBH, Exploited, Lars and the bastards, Defiance, and The Wednesday Night Heroes from Western Canada.
Great video, listened to all the punkcore bands in the mid 2000s my high school years. Check out Monster Squad and Side Effects street punk from Sacramento, CA.
Defiance first 7” ep is an absolute classic early Blank 77 and a whole bunch of latw 80-early 90s Pacific North west their were so much what is now street punk. Profane existence (Dan) mag had a huge influence on its spread
I wouldn't say they suck so much as they really are the epitome of "corporate punk". They had some good stuff in the early days as far as pop punk goes. I just hate the pop side of punk lol.
I will absolutely be doing that. I'm almost done with "The ORIGINS OF STREET PUNK" and then I'm moving on to "women in punk" and "Indonesian punk" then who knows what else
Casualties are technically from Suffolk County long island, but did get known in NYC. I remember Jorge working at Barnes and nobles and Starbucks. Been to many high school parties in rocky point and hit bongs with him
Note: in regards to The Unseen, Tripp, Mark & Paul all performed lead vocals. During live sets, the first half of set Paul would perform lead vocals while Mark held down the drums. Then Paul would take over on drums and Mark stepped to the mic to rip shit up for second half of the set. I was lucky enough to see them so many times back in the day (1999-2002). Since then I've never seen another band/group do the switcheroo that The Unseen did.
Yeah I've learned quite a bit about them since I was wrong on this, lol. I put some corrections in part 2 of this. It's being edited right now, hope to have it up very soon!!!
Its all good mate. I hope i didn't come across as a prick or anything like that lol. But on the topic of The Unseen, one of my top 5 favorite shows ever was seeing them back in 2002 (late May/early June) here in Baltimore. They played a venue called The Sidebar, and im glad to say that the venue still is up & operating. But to give you an idea of how big this place is. If memory serves me correctly i believe the "fire code" states no more than 80 some odd folks allowed at a time. Plus the stage is maybe 3 inches off ground level. Needless to say I've seen & played countless shows there where the crowd waa twice that. Easily. But this show in particular it was so packed that i was against the wall, stage left where Tripp (bassist) played. At some point (around the 3rd or 4th song i think) he noticed that my friend & I knew ever damn lyric and told us to do the backups. At which my 19yr old mind was absolutely blown with excitement.
I was in germany in the early 2000s and the scene was fucking awesome! I discovered Oxymoron over there and didn't even know if they were popular in the states or not. Fun fact a punk rock girl I was good friends with over there lived near Nuremberg and actually went to high school with the lead singer. Punk rock rules!
Thank YOU for watching! I'm working on another video like this right now, The Origin Of Street Punk. Hopefully it'll have a reception as good as this one did
Anti-Flag were one of my favorites as a youngster. I quit them when I heard they performed at a democratic convention some years back…… like, what? Any “punk” band supporting a political party isn’t a punk band at all. Just my opinion. Sweet video man! Takes me back to good times.
I come from a family of 2 older punk rock sisters. One of them put on shows in the city where I'm from for over a decade. I ended up dating women in Highschool for years whose father started the first punk band ever in our city(Apparently). Her father had his own studio we used to hang out in. Her mother(separated) was well connected in many music scenes. Even used to have shows at her house. My sister used to work for companies interviewing bands, managing the only punk rock pub in our city, with Andrew(RIP Tron) from Fubar. I remember loving Punk as a kid in Grade 1 getting Rancid Lets Go, none the less we always had a stack of albums around the house. I was more into Street Punk but what I got from it is that it derived from Oi! Punk. Once I found that out in elementary school I moved onto that. I like some Street Punk but eventually they were dressing up so much and it felt sorta like they were becoming the backstreet boys of the punk scene. I've moved onto many genres since, but Oi! Punk and Specific 90's- early-2000's Street Punk keeps a spot in my heart. It was a great time being alive getting drunk in alleys, cemeteries or train tracks before going to shows and possibly getting kicked out for something stupid. Used to hang out in a park where people would meet up and drink all night every weekend unless there was a party or a show. Entertaining video dude. Brought back some good memories.
So, first, I want to thank everyone for watching this video. I worked hard on it, for almost 3 weeks! So your time is appreciated. There will be a part 2, talking about more bands, so feel free to put any I forgot or just didn't mention in the comments. Second, it seems I messed up a couple things as well so here is where I will put any corrections needed.
EDIT - IF ANYONE WANTS TO SUBMIT PHOTOS, INFO, or ANYTHING TO HELP WITH EPISODES, or WANTS TO SUBMIT MUSIC FOR REVIEW OR CONSIDERATION FOR MY LABEL, YOU CAN DO IT HERE:
THEPUNKROCKREVIEW@GMAIL.COM
** I said the Casualties "On The Front Line" came out in 2014 and that Jorge left the band in 2007, but I was reading too fast and as it was pointed out to me, I mixed it up and Jorge left in 2017 and OTFL was released in 2004. Sorry about that!
** Apparently Mark Unseen was the lead singer "way before State Of Discontent" as well. That I didn't know, so my apologies. Maybe I will re-record the video one day and put up an amended version....
As for right now, it is on to Part 2! Stay tuned!!!!
-Randall
blanks 77 the dwarves for sure come to mind n not sure if there considerd street punk or not but antiseen ,cocknose, zeke too
Here's another one for you to check out. The monster squad album strength through pain. That band is so underrated but they are top tier
Blanks 77 for sure, the other bands may be talked about in other videos, I personally don't think of them as Street Punk. But they are definitely good bands and will get coverage on this channel!
Oh dang, I completely forgot about Monster Squad! Great band (and movie!)
Sick video, really did appreciate! So well done. Here's some potential bands for episode 2: The Restarts, Cheap Sex, The Agrestix, Kill Your Idols, Moose Knuckle.
Kids these days are missing out on the LINER NOTES! I would go through every single page reading lyrics, who produced the record, what label it was on, and most importantly, who they thanked! It's similar to seeing your fav band wearing a shirt from a band you haven't heard, you get this impulse to explore whoever influenced your influences. I got into a ton of these street punk bands by reading about them in liner notes and seeing them on shirts and patches.
Yes! We talk a out this exact thing on the channel all the time. I need to make a note of it and talk about it in another video. I have more episodes of this on the way!!!
I obsessively read the Liner notes too! And combed over any and ever band picture looking for band logos on patches t-shirts and painted onto jackets. Also I would go to Borders and Barnes and Noble and steal copies of MaximumRockNRoll and read the record reviews. Bruce Rhoers was really into Oi/Streetpunk and covered all the big name bands of the era in his column.
I would devour liner notes, along with the artwork and any pictures on the album sleeves. I loved bands like Crass and the Dead Kennedys whose records would come with tons of information, like little zines - I would read them over and over 👍. It really showed me just how much they cared what they were doing putting all that work into something that they really meant, alongside the music to create something that really meant something.
I still do the similar on Spotify. Find the producers and start looking at other bands they are working with.
Liner notes are sacred texts. It’s a shame they’re falling by the wayside.
Blanks 77's "Tanked and Pogoed" was the most talented record of this era for me. I also love "For The Punx" by The Casualties and even promoted a couple of their shows in North-Western part of Russia several years ago. We were detained and fined by police in Murmansk - I think the officers didn't appreciate their "ACAB" video-clip 😂
Blanks 77 was pretty good, I need to revisit them
I wanna be a punk fuck you!
Yo My Man, thanks for putting this out there making me relive my teen and 20's all over again and rehearing songs that i had totally forgotten... I recently had a discussion with a friend who had asked me what was Punk and you basically said the same i had told him the difference between the types of punks and all totally gonna share this video with him. Oi, Oi, Oi!!!
Hell yeah, thank you for watching it, I appreciate it!
Love me some Oxymoron
Me friggin too!
Black cats and anti ❤
One of the best shows that I have ever seen was Oxymoron at CBGB'S. Sucker had the crowd eating out of his hands.
razors blaaaaaaaade!!
Pack is back is one of the best albums of all time. for some reason very few people know of them, but I've been listening to them since mid 90's and still do today. can't say that about all bands from that era
The Anti-Flag thing still kills me. I get it, and I respect the split after all the Justin Sane stuff. It just sucks for the music.
I agree, but I'm over it at this point. Plenty of good music out there, I don't NEED AF music. But it absolutely is awful
Glad you have Oxymoron in your video. I got The Pack is Back in '97 and stayed a favorite for years. Saw them in 2001. What a great band. A lot of bands you have were on regular rotation at my friend's punk rock party house from '99- 2002. Good, drunk, stupid memories. Cheers!
Parts 2 and 3 ate coming, too
“This is literally me.” Me too, man. Love your non-gatekeeping attitude. Big respect
I'm far from perfect, but I try to be inclusive and not a douche, lol. Thank you so much for watching this!
Back in the day I ran into tons of gatekeepers that would make people feel like shit for just liking a certain song or band. I always hated that attitude. Unfortunately things like that persist to this day.
I would definitely mention Total Chaos in part 2! Awesome video, 5 stars!
I think Toyal Chaos wasn't mentioned simply bc I was focused on a specific time period. But yeah, I will have to talk about them as well
Bonecrusher too!
Total Chaos is fucking glam punk.....no different from the 80's bitch boi hair bands....
Yeah you can't talk about Oi/Street Punk without Total Chaos. Anthems From The Alleyway is the definitive oi/street punk album of all time, hands down. I would have left out several of the bands that you covered and thrown Headnoise and Officer Negative in there and a mention to 90lb Wuss' first album. But leaving out TC is a cardinal sin.heh
Total Chaos is a fucking glam punk band.....no different from 80's hair band...dumbass who deleted my original post needs to thicken their skin....why the fuck would you censor someone's opinion you cuck??!! There no coincidence that one of the members was in an 80's tribute band for a while, AFTER TOTAL CHAOS....how do I know this?? My ex dated the douchebag...gtfoh and grow some balls. I watched you're entire video with no complaints and liked it.....stop being a fucking gatekeeper itch boi.....everyone is entitled to their own opinion regardless of how you feel.... Grow up.🤦🏻♂
Great video and great bands. Glad to see someone is giving both the great bands and scene a documentary. The Casualties are still my favourite of this era and scene and got me into so many other great bands
Yeah, this video got a great reception, so I'm going to work on a part 2 and 3 here soon and have some other ideas for similar stuff
Nice vid. I usually dont expect much from these youtube "punk" history videos, but this one was well put together.
Well, I appreciate that, I worked really hard on it. Not perfect, but I definitely put my best foot forward. And I'll be doing more things in this style, it was fun and challenging. Thank you for the kind words.
@@thepunkrockreview hell yeah, dude. I'll definitely keep my eyes peeled for new stuff.
I was thinking this exact thing! I think this was offered up to me because I watched a punk rock MBA video.. and that dude comes across as the posers poser!
@kevelephant1311 that dude is such a tool.
The bar is so low with any "punk history" video I honestly don't know why I still click. I guess because I'm always hoping for something like this!
Fr
Great work bro! Very clearly laid out and informative. Thats a lot to cut together and I can tell you worked your ass off on it.
This comment means more to me than you know. I appreciate you bro 👊
Solid documentary. You are a fellow punk rocker my friend. I salute you. I’m here reppin Dallas TX RED BLOOD CLUB scene! Unit 21!!! Zerstoren! Frontline Attack! The Scandals. All amazing friends from the Dallas scene. Up the punx!!!
My dude 👊
Btw you forgot SS Kaliert!!! Haha. Also, I saw a written interview with Dave from Clit 45 in 2003 and he said they named their band as “sex and violence” clit for sex and 45 as like a gun.
Just rewatched this again. Great documentary
This vid kicks ass dude. There are nearly enough vids that into these bands. Thank you for uploading! I'm stoked for part 2
Thanks man, I had a great time making this one. I'll have a Part 2 for sure!
For me, it wasn't even a band, it was a film. SLC Punk was my introduction, and it was very much a slippery slope. I'd rush down to my local record store at least 2-3 times a week asking if they had sampler CD's and I found tons of music I never knew existed. Then I started buying budget friendly compilation albums once I had money. Give Em The Boot vol 2, vol 3, and AMP's Street Punk compilations were some of my first.
Love that movie and I also did the Give Em The Boot comp purchasing
Right up my alley and even found some new bands, thanks for making this video!
@fugzzi6942 heck yeah, thanks for watching!
The Suicide Machines & Mustard Plug from over here in Michigan via Detroit & Grand Rapids bridge that gap for us over here and introduced finding out about
The Laughing Hyenas & Negative Approach.
That led to a life as a bartender and drummer in the Detroit punk scene for myself for many many years in my 20s & 30s.
Ultimately being honored to share the stage with John Brennon w/ Negative Approach when they were getting recognized nationally when they released the album "Nothing Will Stand In Our Way" in 2011 while playing drums in the new wave, proto punk band
REPLICAS in November 2011.
One of the most memorable shows I've been a part of after decades of playing in the Detroit music scene.
🥂 💉 👃🏼🤘🏼🖤
I remember in GR when the Varukers and the Causalities played in this tiny VFW hall sometime in 1996ish and we all ended up over at Jeff's house from the band Larva for an after party with both bands. I wasn't that much into the street punk scene as I was more into the then 1st wave of US Crust stuff that was popping around in the early and mid 90's but I LOVED that Pogo Attack comp and those two tracks Casualties added to. I am almost 50 now and I am the youngest in my family, had an older brother 8 years older and a sister who is 6 years older and they where both heavily into the Detroit 80's hardcore scene and around 1985 they both seemed to get into other things and gave me all of their US hardcore punk records and some of their Anarcho UK records. Negative Approach's first 7" along with the Necro's IQ 32 and Sex Drive 7" where among the pile of records along with Crass, Subhumans, Exploited, Germs and just a bunch more.
Haven't been the same since.
As an elder emo slowly morphing into punk, ( ideology and all) Ive been diving into the music, but I have now found thanks to your video that I love the heaviness and energy of street punk. ❤
Thanks for not being some elitists in a community Ive always wanted to join and shared the same views of..
Ayyyyye! For sure man, welcome to the family!
Randall, I've said it on the livestream, but I say it again: this is freakin' awesome. Allow me to leave my request for individual vídeos for Casualties and Stza (or Choking Victim/LOC), however i understand that you may prefer not on this last one. But regarding The Casualties, at least, please do it!
100% bro, I friggin love you bro! I'll put those on the list for you! 👊
This is one of the best videos about Punk Rock I've ever fucking seen, great job
Thank you! I'm going to lean more into this kind of content now, so hopefully you'll see more punk history and stories coming to the channel very soon
Being from Southern California and into street punk around that time.. I would of included Cheap Sex and Career Soldiers for sureee..
Oi Oi Oi..
From Westminster CA..
When you brought up The Unseen I was expecting a Dark Buster follow up... lol
Solid vid, bro. Can definitely tell you put the work in on this. Bummer to hear you’re not a fan of A Clockwork Orange. I love that flick, and my first tattoo is from a poster for it. My band back in college used to cover “Ultraviolence” at most of our shows. To each their own though, bud. This was a great list, including some of my all time favs. Look forward to the follow up!
Thanks man, I'll be working on a part 2 pretty soon. And yeah, most of my friends like that movie, I just never got the hype, lol
Don't forget Paul Unseen! He was a lead vocalist along with Tripp and Mark. The Anger And The Truth has some really good Paul fronted songs.
I love that album! I couldn't keep up with all the changes, lol
Cape Cod Punk Rock!
Im 43 now and IM glad I was entrenched in this scene when it was happening. I was at the clit 45 show you used. Im in the video actually of the whole concert when I go on stage. I also got to open for many of these acts in your video and put some shows together when I was in El Paso and in So Cal. This brings back memories.
That's awesome, thanks for watching! I appreciate it 👊
This s*** brings back so many memories of my youth drinking 40s.Aquatic creepers being on the band list
Great video. Keep up the good work man. I listen to a lot of these band already. But there're definitely a few bands you mentioned in the video that I've never even heard of before. So I'll need to check them out at some point.
Nice! I'm working on a part 2 and an Origins of Street Punk videos I'm working on currently, so hopefully I'll have similar responses to those. Thanks for watching
Excellent job dude! Part 2 bands you should include are
Antidote (from Holland)
Violent Society
The Boils
Total Chaos
The Pist
Thank you! And yes, Part 2 will include most of those bands! Inset up a new email address for the channel today, so people can send photos and info to me for videos
Wow... yes Antidote!!!! The Restarts too!
I loved it when people realized that the guy in the Restarts was gay. At the time it really helped me realize what a conventional sausage party streetpunk really was. It started to seem like all the people in the scene might as well have just been frat boys with spikey hair and bandage pants. I mean for all the talk about rebellion i didnt see much actuall rebellion was even allowed. Like the moment a woman tried to do anything other then be hot a wear a chelsea it was frowned upon. Nevermind actually expressing any actual anti capitallist/anti fascist political opinions beyond vague slogans recycled from the original British punk..... alright I'm done. I probably sound more bitter about it then I really am. I'm still a punk and I still love this shit.
Oi! Scouts too! Even though they only have one album they need to be mentioned, I'm from LA and when they announced they would do a come back show literally everyone I knew was beyond stoked, I never realized how influential they were.
@@drummerdude0515 I really liked the Oi Scouts! Or the handful of songs I had on a mix cd anyway.
“I know it wasn’t Duane or Fletcher, who put up the barricades, like a stake in our hearts”
Dont forget aus rotten. Even though they are crusty. And their split up bands behind enemy lines and caustic christ. Pittsburgh street punks finest
I will add them to the Part 2. I definitely didn't add them solely bc I considered them a crust punk band, but this could become a series with all the bands I want to talk about!
not street punk, at all
Great compilation you put up here. Banner of Hope, Devotchkas, from US, plenty from UK and all around the world are missing. It wasnt just Oxymoron from Germany back then, we had couple bands much alike them.
Yeah, this wasn't a comprehensive list, lol. Just stuff I heard and the top 10 from that era, from my perspective.
Man.... I do have a soft spot for a lot of these bands.
This scene in the 90's was another one of the 90's scenes in New England that owned it.
Fond memories of all kinds of shows at places like the 2nd ave Church in Boston, Elvis Room in Portsmouth. Lots of oi and anthemic punk during this era. Saw the Unseen a ton, Pinkerton Thugs, Global Threat, 30 Seconds Over Tokyo, All Systems Stop, and on and on.
Some real forgotten gems from that era.
External Menace, Blank Generation, Submachine, Red Flag, The Subversives, Working Stiffs, Throwaway Generation, The Boils, The Action, The Krays, The Suspects, Truents, Srychnine, most of the stuff on Helen of Oi .... then things started veering more into garage punk nearing 2000 with bands like Problematics, Riffs, The Bodies/Modern Action, Smogtown, etc.
Good memories. Not a lifer though.
Dang, you sound like a lifer! Lol, thanks for watching the video, I appreciate it! I'll keep your list of bands at my reach so I can reference it in future episodes!
@@thepunkrockreview I still own tons of it on vinyl... but I have the curse of what I am told is an Eidectic or Didactic Memory. I have the unusual ability to remember even passing things in extreme detail. It sucks ass.
I recommend The Subversives, Boils, and The Suspects. Those are actually three of my favorites from the 90s. Boils and Suspects were from (essentially Philly) and Subversives from Minneapolis... both cities that also had ripping street punk and oi scenes in that era..... Minneapolis had simultaneous crust and street punk scenes that often overlapped technically.
External Menace? Those guys were an early 80s band.
@@ottoacid1800 Technically off and on over the course of four decades. However, their first proper full length and best release by far, The Process of Elimination came out in 1996. One of their most active periods.
The album is classic 1990's street punk.
@@CountryMouseCityCrimes
Fair enough, The Process Of Elimination was a solid album. Still, I personally consider their best recordings to be their early 80s eps from before Wullie died.
Are they still going?
Great video. So many memories. I wish more of these bands still toured.
Thank you, I worked hard on this one! Gonna make more episodes though, people seem to enjoy it. And I also wish they still toured, that would be awesome
Great video/list. I saw Swingin Utters a few months back. Johnny wasn't looking too good, and he was wearing what looked to be a hospital bracelet. About halfway through the show he ran off stage and out the front door. Darius took over and sang a song. Then Johnny came back in, took a deep breath, and gave the best performance of Fifteenth & T I could possibly imagine. It was honestly moving. I hope he's doing okay.
Oh dang, I should look into that!
I also saw Swingin utters a few months ago open up for bouncing souls and they kicked complete ass!!!!!! Damn they were so good!
I love Swingin Utters. I saw them back in the day with Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards opening for DKM when they were touring for the "Sing Loud, Sing Proud" album. They were SO good, and if I remember correctly, Lars called them the best song writers of the time.
Well, Tim is the best punk rock song writer of all time. Lars knows that, lol
holy shit!! Hope he's OK
I was really into Street Punk for a while in the mid to late 90s, before I got more into Crust and Powerviolence. I still like a few bands, namely Oxymoron, Violent Society and The Restarts. This was a well put together vid, kudos.
Thank you for watching, I appreciate it!
Great video! This stuff was the soundtrack to my teenage years in the mid 90s. Defiance is the best!
Thank you! And yes, Defiance is awesome, I just grabbed some of their vinyl while I was in Austin
Dude you knocked this out of the park. Great stuff. I'm very much looking forward to part 2 👊
Ayyyye, thank you bro! I'm so happy it's getting a decent response and that people are just watching it!
Thanks for the video. This was the era I grew up in and saw many of the bands mentioned. Definitely hit all the mainstay bands of the time.
Thanks man, and yeah, I was going to do this video and then a second one later about the bands that were a little less known than the ones I mentioned here. Hopefully get a little help in the comments with bands I don't know or maybe forgot about. I live doing this and I worked so hard on this video, it's nice to see folks enjoying it!
So much nostalgia. Live and die for the LCB army!
Lessgoooo!!!
In the UK 'Street punk' is just a different name used to describe OI bands.
Oi bands are usually skinhead bands. Not racists, but bands like Cock Sparrer and such. Very similar though. I like it all, and admittedly, it's kind of silly to have all the rules and sub genres, lol, but that's just how I've known it since the 90s and I enjoy all the categorization if I'm honest
yeah, I am finding that out... I am doing a video on that now, actually.
Great video!! Got me reminiscing with all these bangers you included from my teen and 20s! I waa fortunate enough to catch lots of these bands live when they played here in Houston! Had to share this video with a couple of old friends! For the punx days!
Aye, you're from Houston? Me too! Inwonder if we've hung out...
@thepunkrockreview sure am! Shit we probably have and probably have mutual friends lol
Just last year I ordered a Swingin' Utters shirt with the cover from the album "Here Under Protest" on it. Johnny "Peabucks" Bonnel himself sent me an email that told me that my order might take a while because he makes the tshirts himself. Then what arrived was a pack of six or seven fabric patches a few stickers and the shirt I ordered. Not only do they make top tier punk rock but are also prime examples of everything DIY spirit should stand for. ❤
That's awesome. I also make all my own merch myself, do all my own writing, editing, thumbnails, and have a small label. Guys like Johnny are an inspiration to me!
When there's nothing left to lose, I sit around and watch UA-cam.
The clit 45 joke got me. Damn this got me thinking back to my early years. I've seen a good number of these bands and even befriended some. Time to dig out some records and surprisingly look up a few I never listened to.
This video was a lot of fun and I'm glad I made it. I'm even more glad yall watched it!
You may enjoy a deep dive in to some aussie punk with band like depression, cosmic psychos, frenzel romb, no idea, puch the clown and strawberry fist cake.
All have their own unique sound that sets them apart from each other.
Hope you find something you love that you never knew existed.
Ayyye, thank you! I routinely use these comments sections for music to listen to and learn about, so I'll add these to the list!
British Punk bands such as the Exploited (plus Discharge, GBH, Crass and loads more) were well established by the early eighties. I saw them all at the Mayflower Club in Manchester, UK.
Yeah mate!
I know lm gonna cop hate for this, but first time l saw heard Casualties... I just thought it was GBH...dead ringers!!
I'm Australian, so it's not a UK vs US thingo!!
Hahahaha! At least SLF got a fkn mention!!
I'm going to do an entire episode of UK/European Street punk stuff and then likely a separate one on Oi! Bands. I'll surely make some mistakes but I've never claimed to be the authority on any of this and I'm learning as much as creating with these videos. I certainly don't know everything and wouldn't tell anyone what to like. I am Howe working really hard on this, so I appreciate the support and would be 100% interested in any input one has to future episodes
Get in touch of you need a bit of Brit history. I saw loads of bands during the early eighties, mainly in the north of England. There was a great scene back then@@thepunkrockreview
@@thepunkrockreview Cheers mate, it wasn't a knock on your vid, enjoyed it!
Spose you've only got so much time etc.. definitely be watching the next one's mate
@@thepunkrockreviewif you haven't already done it yet can you do a history of The Exploited and all the different members over the years. Just saw them in a really small venue and it was awesome. I also got to chat to the bassist Irish Rob for ages afterward about Architecture (He's a Technician like me!) hes a really cool guy.
Fucking great video man! Keep up the good work!!🥳🥳
@@kristopher1312 thank you for watching! I did an "Origin Of Street Punk" one, too. And I'm working on a French Cold Oi! video right now.
Oh, and I did one on Time Armstrong! Working hard at making this type of content
Really cool to see The unseen on a list. I feel like they were overlooked.
Really? They were one of the biggest street punk bands ever... i love that band, so good!Thanks for watching, though. I appreciate it!
In 2006 I saw an Anti-Flag tour with the Casualties and Unseen opening, it’s such a time capsule moment now lol. I saw so many of those bands multiple times but think that was one of the only times I saw the Unseen, they were good.
decent list of some of the more known bands of that era. Others that were extremely relevant that deserved to be mentioned:
- Street Brats - amazing blend of 77 punk with street punk. went on to form Non Believers that picked up after a members death.
- The Strap Onz - early band featuring members of Complete Control
- Career Soldiers - great stuff from San Diego that had 2 albums. At times they bordered on crust with their riffs
- SS Kaliert - excellent stuff from Germany, with first album on Punkcore.
- Monster Squad
- Endless Struggle
- Total Chaos - believe they actually released first stuff in late 80s? Maybe early 90s. Still going today.
Love this genre still, and glad to see a bit of a resurgence in it. Some awesome bands have started up, and some killer festivals happen that show that indeed, punks not dead. up da punx!
Gonna do a follow up to this, some of the bands you brought up will be in that one. 👊😎🏴☠️
Some more bands to check out: Antidote (Holland not NY), Endless Struggle, Monster Squad, Devotchkas, A=Self Destruct (another Mark Unseen band!), Also labels like Punk-Core, and Charged. they put out some great shit!
Ayyyye, thank you!
I was super surprised Antidote wasn't mentioned because they fit right in that era. Monster squad is a bit newer so that's probably why they're we're not mentioned, I love Monster squad though, one of my fav bands from this genre.
I remember seeing anntidote with the drop kick.Murphy's in nineteen ninety-nine with the vigilante is in Grand Rapids michigan
This was the era i was a teen! Amazing time for street punk! The last good wave!
There's been a resurgence in the last couple years, I think the 2020s will be remembered fondly
If anyone hasn't seen/heard of it... There is a documentary called " The other F Word"from 2011. It's about growing up becoming a father and puts the spotlight on a lot guys from rancid, NOFX,US bombs and lots more. in that doc it spends time on Duane from US Bombs because his son was killed in a car accident I believe. Not sure if he's recovered from that
I don't think he has. Dude is a mess still, I'm very empathetic to his situation... also, that Documentary is awesome
One thing that isn't said in that documentary.. is in regards to Duane Peters Attitude..
Its a Huntington Beach thing.. a staple of the street life of OC Punk.. locals only..
Fight for it..
Cheers from Westminster/Huntington Beach CA 🇺🇸
@@AtZero138 Thats how it was in Boston
ola amigo, just wanted to say thanks and salute you on a tremendous documentary about punk rock x
Thank you very much! I am going to be doing more episodes of this series, but it takes a long time to make one
This was very well done bravo… I have a few additions for the masses to listen to as well :
Antidote, the pist, devotchkas, narcoleptic youth, endless struggle, funeral dress, total chaos, street brats, and the rarities. Now I know there are plenty more just figured I’d mention these that stand out. I listen to everything and for what it’s worth OG Green Day is fun, after American idiot forget about it. That’s dope you podcast as do I . I talk music movies video games anime toys and books I’d be down to do an episode.
Thank you for watching and I will be doing a Part 2 I think, so I'll take note of the bands you mentioned! As far as a collab, I'm always down! Shoot me an email 👊
ideas are bulletproof
9:17 One could also argue that BECAUSE they were on a major label they were NOT the biggest street punk band
I mean, personally, I think that is REAL dumb, and still think they were the biggest street punk band. The point is to get the msg to as many people as you can, and they did that better than anyone BECAUSE of the label. But I mean, you can feel about them however you want and we can still be friends! It's just a conversation, I appreciate your thoughts 👊
@@thepunkrockreview If you think those generic punk platitudes were a message that needed to get out I don’t know what to say. But anyway, I wouldn’t like them either on a small DIY label so for me it doesn’t make a difference. It’s just that such a commercial enterprise is so antithetical to the original idea of street punk (but well, this is an endless dilemma in the history of punk in general, so whatever).
Of course it was, lol. There has to be accessible gateway bands to get kids deeper into it. To say that's not the case is just flat out wrong. Now, weather you want to support them or not is a different conversation. And why is another one as well. But yeah, that msg is 100% necessary. If someone isn't carrying the torch, it dies out... you have to comprise a little on order to accomplish big things. That is a fact. Personal taste is just a whole different conversation. Also, it sucks that Justin was/is a creep....
ANTIDOTE!!! (from Holland), "Go Pogo" is a great punk record
... and AUS-ROTTEN!!!!
Don't forget the sounds of The Strap Onz on Charged Records. Sam from Complete Control was on Vocals on Charged Records.
Remember Profane Existence as well.
Thanks for the Content.
I totally forgot about the Strap-Onz, not sure I heard Profane Existence though...
@@thepunkrockreview Profane Existence records and Zine, most bands were extremely political from the far left. One of the band I enjoyed listening to were Aus Rotten as well. They put out lots of good music not days it's called grindcore or crust punk?
The Unseen was my favorite back then, Explode, State of Discontent and Internal Salvation were great records. Also enjoyed the Virus quite a bit.
Looooove The Virus! But almost everything I mentioned here were favorites of mine, lol
The Unseen, The Casualties, and Career Soldiers all day every day!
Career Soldiers will be in the next installment of this series, I think
They were the shit. Played the fuck out of ‘so this is freedom?’
Great video! It’s great living in LA and getting to see almost all of these bands all the time. I’ve seen Lower Class Brats, Casualties, Unseen, etc a lot. Watched A Global Threat blow Conflict offstage a few years back. Was at the final US Bombs show in Orange County and saw the new version of the band a few times (once at that fest It’s Not Dead) and it was uhhh something.
That's the main downside living in Houston, lots of bands didn't make it down here often
Don't forget about Violent Society, Blanks 77, One Man Army, LES Stitches, Pinkerton Thugs, Adolf and the Piss Artists.........I mean there really was a ton of great street punk bands back then.
Not sure One Man Army is a street punk band... barely considered them punk, more like Rock-N-Roll. I'm literally wearing their shirt right now, they're my 2nd favorite band all time. Not shit talking, just surprised to hear their name in this conversation
Had to scroll way to long to see anyone mention Blanks 77. 🤘
@@kushviper truck stop toilet split with Anti Heros
Anyone remember One Man Army??
I loved their shows back in the day! One of my favorite street punk bands!!
They're literally my 2nd favorite band of all time! I was wearing their shirt yesterday!
I don't really think of them as "street punk" though. They barely qualify as punk, lol, more or less Rock N Roll
I'm still living in NYC and have not heard anything at all concerning Leftover Crack. By the way that F-Minus Crack Rocksteady 7 split was amazing and led to Brad Logan of F-Minus joing Leftover Crack. The same Brad Logan imortalized by having Rancid write a song about him. Ok that's a wrap for me good night until next time.
Lol, you're fun
@@thepunkrockreviewIn all fairness you made it easy for me to be fun. Keep up the good work brother.
AYYYYYE! Thank you man, I appreciate it!
I have an interview with Brad Logan dropping tomorrow!!!
Great video! Thanks for the hard work. To clarify, the first three unseen albums had mark and Paul Russo on vocals. In the early days mark and Paul would trade off on drums and vocals/ guitar and vocals.
Also, most these bands were on punk core records at some point which is a great resource.
Also pistol grip
Yeah im gonna do a Punk-Core Records video at some point. And The Unseen had so many frontman change ups, I'll have to amend my Unseen section in the follow up video. Thanks for watching!
So I opened up for Clit 45 and the Krays up in Dallas back in 05 and I asked Dave where the name came from at the after party at my homegirl's house. Apparently, that was the name of the first porn he ever saw.
Oh wow, lol, that's hilarious 😂
Clit45 play on Colt45
Which guy from that band got fucked up by Star Wars nerds?
Against All Authority, should be in. Great job dude, thanks!
Considered them, will definitely add them to part 2! Im working on a Part 2, an Indonesian Punk Rock Doc, and a Women in Punk Doc. Hopefully they'll do well. Anyone that wants to send footage or photos can send it here:
thepunkrockreview@gmail.com
@@thepunkrockreview It would be so rad to include Kirsten Patches/Naked Aggression in the Women of Punk doc! The fact that she continues to work as a Special Education teacher while also fronting a punk band has always amazed me. When Roe was overturned & anytime it's mentioned in the news (daily), "Killing Floor" always plays in my head.
well they’re not a street punk band
This was an awesome video! And a great trip down memory lane.
Have you ever listened to A Global Threat’s final LP “Where the Sun Never Sets”? In my opinion, one of the all-time greatest punk rock records.
Thank you, I worked hard on it! Admittedly I made a few mistakes, bit I will try harder in the next one to not make the same ones. I have heard that record but don't remember being into it, if I'm honest. I'll give it another spin, though!
@@thepunkrockreview No worries, just wondered if you had. It’s not necessarily a street punk record. Awesome video though, you’ve got yourself a new subscriber. 👍🏻
“Where the Sun Never Sets” is their best one. Kind of strange compared to the others but more interesting.
@@ndSpaz Totally agree. I remember it being kinda polarizing when it came out.
I'm on the couch falling asleep.
I'm in my 40s now. And this brings me back to my youth .
Steer punk oi and boot boys.
The good old days
To all my pals Uno Oi
Thanks for watching 👊 😎 🏴☠️
I really love those first couple of A Global Threat Albums and The Virus Still Fighting For A Future. Those albums don't seem to get enough love. The Lowerclass Brats have some great albums too. Btw Anti-flag ditched the streetpunk sound when they went to the major label. They actually ditched it even before that when they released the Terror State. That is when I stopped liking the band.
I love all of it, just prefer the ones I talked about. I'm not super familiar w The Virus album you mentioned tho, I'll go check it out. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it 👊
How about the virus nowhere to hide? It's a perfect album. And the global threat album with Mark unseen doing vocals. Money lies and real-estate
@thepunkrockreview listen to nowhere to hide it's the perfect street punk album
Nice video.
Maybe for part two, you could focus more overseas?
Antidote has been mentioned. How about Tech-9?
I'm working on part 2 right now, it's the "Origins Of Street Punk" with 10 bands from the early days. It's being edited. Then I'm doing Indonesian Punk, then Women in Punk. After all those I will be doing a Part 3 of this with lesser known bands. So yeah, lol, I'll be busy this summer
Also, thank you for the compliment!
Really liked Oxymoron from Germany who sounded very British, they seem completely forgotten now! Their Westworld EP was a masterpiece, the song Run From Reality is pretty great! What was funny is I was living in a very tiny small rural town and just loving this era of "street punk" and never really went to a show or was around any of this scene ever. I was just buying CDs and records in the mail and catching what I could from the final spurt of semi-magazine/zines. I have never been to a street punk show ever, I have seen Dropkick Murphys live but they've long since left their Boys On The Docks sound in the past. Past that I've seen just about every metal band you can think of, for punk it's been so weird, I have caught The Dickies and I like seeing The Spits live, but there's really no modern punk bands I follow. The trickledown effect has worked for death metal I have to say, I never in a million years thought I'd live to see it become a visible and profitable subculture outside of South America and Europe.
I've seen the Spits a bunch of times, my friend Tony (RIP Bunzo) played bass for a band called NoBunny, the Spits took them on tour and i followed them for some of their shows from Oakland south and over to Las Vegas. Definitely not streetpunk but still one of my favorite bands.
Great start...maybe swing up North with your next video and highlight a few Minneapolis and Chicago bands. I lived in Austin TX in the 90's but I missed a few of the bands that you mentioned...thanks for the education. GABBA GABBA HEY !
Gonna set up an email.acct for the channel today so people can email me stuff for videos if they want. I'm trying to do this stuff right, and I appreciate the support 👊
Thanks for doing this. I grew up outside of Boston and got into Green Day and offspring before everything. Made friends with some punk rock kids in high school that got me into TheTrouble,Unseen, Toxic narcotic, AGT and loved that stuff. The biggest thing that kicked me out of it all was liking other stuff like Dropkick Murphys and some oi bands which was heavily frowned upon.How can you listen to street punk but also love Flux of pink Inidians?! that shit got so old I just pulled the ripcord. Im about to turn 40 and revisiting a lot of it.
I had similar experiences, lol. Toxic Narcotic is awesome
I grew up in the same area/era. Saw toxic, the trouble, unseen, Pinkerton thugs and best of all out cold. Funny thing about dropkicks they used to play with the all these bands before they got big. Used to see them at the mid East and random church halls.
Jesus Christ shout out to Toxic Narcotic.
Those guys should be wayyyyyy more well known than they are.
Nothing wrong with Flux, Conflict, Subhumans, Rudimentary Peni etc etc mate!
Listen to what you like.. fk others.. people have to pigeonhole others, makes em feel safer (superior?) psychologically.
A few omissions here, no mention of GBH, yet Exploited get a shout out?
Chaos UK .. l cd go on til my thumbs hurt...
Barring pop...it's still all 'punk'...
We've all got preferences.
It was crazy, I got introduced to this older group which I revered at the the time and the first words this dude said to me were" I heard you like the ducky boys and that's awful". To this day I've never listened to a single song of theirs because of that interaction 25 years ago. I loved the Pinkerton thugs and they weren't the same after Micah left. I live in the same area he's from/ or still lives now in Maine@@stillpist
What about the Devotchkas!!!?!?!?! The songs Wiked Heart and My Scars were straight up Anthems!!!
Not familiar with them, I'll check it out though!
@@thepunkrockreview probably the only all female streetpunk band that I have ever heard of. I can't even think of any bands from that era who had 1 female member.
@@HonestDepression101Menstrual Tramps from Minneapolis.
@@andrewironside3506 I met one of them once! I can't remember her name or what she played but she was in the Menstrual Tramps. She gave me a pin of there's.
Were the Menstral Tramps actually streetpunk tho?
Clit 45 doesnt get enough shine so thanks for mentioning them. One of the best "street punk" bands by far and never really got their due
but the best album from them is def Self Hate Crimes
I really like that band quite a bit
Hey dude! Nice one, this is the first time checking your channel, new sub! keep up the good work
Thank you so much! Welcome to the "family" (the last word was in a Vin Deisel voice!) 👊
Japan had some great ones like the Discocks and Tom and Boot Boys
I'll be doing a video on Japan and Indonesia here soon as well
Thanks for this video! I love punk, but I grew up in a very religious household so I spent most of the 90’s listening to Christian bands. Many of those bands I still stand by today because they’re musically solid, but that’s a different story.
Lists like this help me fill in the gaps in my music vocabulary. It’s good to go back and check out all the kickass bands I missed out on.
Oh man, I am working in more volumes to this, so you'll have plenty more bands to listen to over the next few months! Thanks for watching 👊
Check out The GC-5 if you haven't heard them yet.
Will do!
Lap Dog, Sillies and Billy Goat up in Denton when Tripping Daisey and Deep Blue Something were getting all the press. Also my greatest album is "Cottage Cheese From the Lips of Death A Texas Hardcore Compilation, Produced by ward 9 records in San Antonio: Really Red, D.R.I., The Offenders, Mydolls, Not for Sale, Big Boys, Prenatal Lust, Stick Men with Ray Guns, Hugh Beaumont Experience, Marching Plague, Butthole Surfers, Bag Gang, The Dicks and Watchtower. That was an 80's "hardcore punk" album tho.
yeah but I do not want MGK to be the gateway even if no one entered the scene ever again.
whats wrong with mgk? yeah he's a rich douchebag, but the music is alright. at what point is something not punk? money? power? fame?
But he is in fact the gateway. People said the same shit about Blink 25 years ago.
But his music is AWFUL
Things generally quit being actual punk rock when they're more pop than punk. MGK, Blink, NFG, Good Charlotte, most "pop punk" bands today, honestly. But I don't give a shit. It's easier for me to point out what I think really IS punk than to police what isn't.... I don't care as long as kids make it to Rancid and NOFX, ya know? And then some will get to GBH and Discharge... yessir!
@@thepunkrockreview imagine how good things would be if they've started with the GBH , like I did? City baby was my first cassette..
That'd be cool I guess, but then there would be almost nobody to keep this alive. You must be the exception not the rule. I mean, I got into it with Rancid, NOFX, and MXPX. All bands that were hated back then. But I love it all now. People need to stop being so pretentious and stop gatekeeping....
@@thepunkrockreview Ok let me tell you what is the perspective of older people on this. Once RKL died off and fat wreck started and epitaph , that was the start of melodic stuff being just party music for party kids. Not that RKL was that different but they had stronger connection to the underground. When bands started entering the mainstream , it watered down the whole scene. Metal comparison would be Black metal ppl burning down the churches and Warrant and Motley kru singing about girls and partying. Later the industry reinvented Emo and bands like black veil brides and all those shitbirds as an EXTENSION of hair metal and girly looking dudes to draw in female population. Remember JBiafra singing about police beating people in the streets , riots , chaos and the government? Well skateboards and baggy jeans supplanted that and the high school mentality overpowered the message.
Are we still in the same universe by now? Seems like all got completely severed by 1995..
i was a street punk from 2000- 2018. Those were the days. Great video man. My favorites were The Virus, Cheap Sex, GBH, Exploited, Lars and the bastards, Defiance, and The Wednesday Night Heroes from Western Canada.
Excellent list, and more bands will be covered in future installments of this series!
Great video, listened to all the punkcore bands in the mid 2000s my high school years. Check out Monster Squad and Side Effects street punk from Sacramento, CA.
Yeah I can't believe I missed Monster Squad, smh. Side Effects I'll check out though, so I'll check them out!
Glad ya know of us - Monster Squad. Always (kind of) the underdogs.
Also, uh - I took that photo of Jello:)@@thepunkrockreview Cheers
Blind Pigs, Bombshell Rocks, Knucklehead, The Rabble, Stage Bottles, Frontkick, Blisterhead, Voice Of A Generation, The Confession, Da Skywalkers.....
Street punks gay
🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
punk's
so is your dad
Defiance first 7” ep is an absolute classic early Blank 77 and a whole bunch of latw 80-early 90s Pacific North west their were so much what is now street punk. Profane existence (Dan) mag had a huge influence on its spread
Just saying green day fucking sucks
I mean, I disagree, but to each their own! Lots of bands I don't like that tons of people do, lol
I wouldn't say they suck so much as they really are the epitome of "corporate punk". They had some good stuff in the early days as far as pop punk goes. I just hate the pop side of punk lol.
@@helenkeller9458 I mean, I wouldn't expect lots of people that like this video to be into Green Day
Excellent video mate - thoroughly enjoyed that
That means a lot to me, thank you!
Pc woke cancel culture ruined the punk scene
Ummm, yep. It ruins a lot of things
Boomer punks fuck off.
only for Republican or Nationalist Punk rockers....lol
When i hear Street Punk or Oi! i think of good sing a long punk. Great video!
Thank you! Part 2 will be coming soon!
Great video, love street punk, hopefully one day u can make videos of other punk subgenres as well? Like D-beat/Crust punk, Powerviolence
I will absolutely be doing that. I'm almost done with "The ORIGINS OF STREET PUNK" and then I'm moving on to "women in punk" and "Indonesian punk" then who knows what else
Casualties are technically from Suffolk County long island, but did get known in NYC. I remember Jorge working at Barnes and nobles and Starbucks. Been to many high school parties in rocky point and hit bongs with him
The Utters are my favorite out of this genre. I love these dudes. I am glad you mentioned U.S. Bombs, I also love the Die Hunns.
Die Hunns and the Duane Peter's Gunfight are like US Bombs Jr, love it!
Note: in regards to The Unseen, Tripp, Mark & Paul all performed lead vocals. During live sets, the first half of set Paul would perform lead vocals while Mark held down the drums. Then Paul would take over on drums and Mark stepped to the mic to rip shit up for second half of the set. I was lucky enough to see them so many times back in the day (1999-2002). Since then I've never seen another band/group do the switcheroo that The Unseen did.
Yeah I've learned quite a bit about them since I was wrong on this, lol. I put some corrections in part 2 of this. It's being edited right now, hope to have it up very soon!!!
Its all good mate. I hope i didn't come across as a prick or anything like that lol. But on the topic of The Unseen, one of my top 5 favorite shows ever was seeing them back in 2002 (late May/early June) here in Baltimore. They played a venue called The Sidebar, and im glad to say that the venue still is up & operating. But to give you an idea of how big this place is. If memory serves me correctly i believe the "fire code" states no more than 80 some odd folks allowed at a time. Plus the stage is maybe 3 inches off ground level. Needless to say I've seen & played countless shows there where the crowd waa twice that. Easily. But this show in particular it was so packed that i was against the wall, stage left where Tripp (bassist) played. At some point (around the 3rd or 4th song i think) he noticed that my friend & I knew ever damn lyric and told us to do the backups. At which my 19yr old mind was absolutely blown with excitement.
I was in germany in the early 2000s and the scene was fucking awesome! I discovered Oxymoron over there and didn't even know if they were popular in the states or not. Fun fact a punk rock girl I was good friends with over there lived near Nuremberg and actually went to high school with the lead singer. Punk rock rules!
That's awesome, and thank you for watching my video! Part 2 and 3 are coming soon!
Nice! I love street punk. Thanks for the reviews and recommendations ! 🤘
Thank YOU for watching! I'm working on another video like this right now, The Origin Of Street Punk. Hopefully it'll have a reception as good as this one did
Dang all these bands took me way back! Krum Bums was one of my favorite bands.
LOOOVE the Krum Bums!
Anti-Flag were one of my favorites as a youngster. I quit them when I heard they performed at a democratic convention some years back…… like, what?
Any “punk” band supporting a political party isn’t a punk band at all. Just my opinion. Sweet video man! Takes me back to good times.
Thanks for watching, I appreciate it 👊
Great breakdown gave me a awesome blast from the past frfr
Thank you! I'm almost done with part 2!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars across the board
Thank you!
The Beltones were on the outskirts of streetpunk. But their album Cheap Trinkets is a rare perfect album.
I haven't heard them in a LONG time... time for a revisit!
I come from a family of 2 older punk rock sisters. One of them put on shows in the city where I'm from for over a decade. I ended up dating women in Highschool for years whose father started the first punk band ever in our city(Apparently). Her father had his own studio we used to hang out in. Her mother(separated) was well connected in many music scenes. Even used to have shows at her house. My sister used to work for companies interviewing bands, managing the only punk rock pub in our city, with Andrew(RIP Tron) from Fubar. I remember loving Punk as a kid in Grade 1 getting Rancid Lets Go, none the less we always had a stack of albums around the house. I was more into Street Punk but what I got from it is that it derived from Oi! Punk. Once I found that out in elementary school I moved onto that. I like some Street Punk but eventually they were dressing up so much and it felt sorta like they were becoming the backstreet boys of the punk scene. I've moved onto many genres since, but Oi! Punk and Specific 90's- early-2000's Street Punk keeps a spot in my heart. It was a great time being alive getting drunk in alleys, cemeteries or train tracks before going to shows and possibly getting kicked out for something stupid. Used to hang out in a park where people would meet up and drink all night every weekend unless there was a party or a show. Entertaining video dude. Brought back some good memories.
Grck of a story you got there my guy! Thank you for watching my video, I appreciate it. More episodes coming soon, too
