    Stage 6 is always something I love hearing in punk music. The Press Corpse by Anti Flag is one of the coolest examples of that.

      how old are you? if you don't mind me asking. This is unrelated to your comment. I'm almost 29. Sorry for being weird lol .It's just a curiosity. I guess it's because I'm reading these comments from all these punk enthusiasts and I just picked you for this random experiment. Now I kinda get those "I'm this age and I listen to this" type of comments 😅

    Just putting this out there, but Pat Mello has done jazz walking basslines, 16th notes, and some crazy fretboard work fingerstyle playing stand-up (and fretless electric). He also slaps. If that doesn't sound "punk", the dude was in Schlong (The band Dave split to form in part because "Op Ivy and Downfall weren't 'punk enough'".) "But punk is simple, they're all 4 chord songs"... Those guys covered the entirety of the cast recording of West Side Story. Blackout drunk. In one take.
