The Idles aren’t half bad as well, check out gift horse. Or their tiny desk concert.
Comment on Where is modern Punk?
Otherbarry@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 1 day ago
Plenty of punk and punk adjacent music still around, lots of local shows still occur if you know where to look. I’m in the U.S. but can say for sure this stuff is still happening here and other countries too.
Bob Vylan and Kneecap were banned from the U.S. earlier this year and Zionists are still going around trying to get their shows cancelled just for speaking out on Palestine.
In general Zionists seem to be easily triggered, last year while on their tour playing a show in New Jersey Apes of the State had a big FREE PALESTINE banner at their shows and some guy at the venue flipped out and tried to take it down.
On tour last month in the U.S. Bad Cop/Bad Cop was selling FUCK ICE shirts while the other band on tour with them (The Iron Roses) were speaking out on LGBTQ issues and the general fucked state the U.S. is in right now.
Later this weekend Leftover Crack is playing a show in Brooklyn, I’m sure they’ll have plenty to say on the current state of things.

I know I could search for this online, but word of mouth is so often superior and it also feels like kinda the point of lemmy…but got any recs for some punk or punk adjacent bands/albums? Particularly recent stuff or old if it holds up to the current climate. I got into RATM around this time last year and nothing else has come close to scratching the itch of “maaaan fuck this shit.”

Not sure if they are strictly punk, but certainly adjacent: Propagandhi have a huge catalogue of great music. They came out with a new album this year, and its my top album for the year. Its a mix of political and highly introspective lyrics, and the sound is amazing!

Yup there’s already a pretty good list going in this post!
Not sure what to add, their sound is a bit different but I’ve been digging Playboy Manbaby and one of their newer songs Criminals definitely fits the post topic www.youtube.com/watch?v=Abj78ccwPbg they’re amazing live. Robbie also has a whole side project with Spaceman Bob, he’s going to be playing at the Leftover Crack show this weekend so that should be fun.
Coincidentally Tom Morello mentioned Kneecap earlier this year when talking about bands of the moment nme.com/…/tom-morello-hails-kneecap-as-the-rage-a… (around 20 mins in that interview).
