rolling punk/non-indie underground 2015

I don't know about best punk band going, but I saw Downtown Boys a few months ago with no knowledge of any hype and I thought they were phenomenal. They're one of those bands that clicks into this upper echelon of energy, like they've got an extra gear that other bands don't, and you're watching them not even sure of what exactly they're doing to make it happen. Screaming Females played next, and they seemed kinda subdued in comparison.

Any band with an album called Full Communism get my vote.

Downtown Boys are rad. Can kinda tell that they're phenomenal live too. Hope they make the UK soon.

the new tenement is really good.

not sure where's the best place for this, but the new Thee Tsunamis record is excellent

Oops, I accidentally posted about the new Royal Headache in the 2014 thread. So I'll repost this here, a live video from 2013 with performances of "High" and a few more songs from the new album (links to individual songs in the comments):

Hadn't heard about the new Tenement. I googled it and found this nice review in the NYT. Excited to hear it!

new Flesh World album on Iron Lung is sounding really good, might even be better than their first 12" which was great https://ironlungpv.bandcamp.com/album/the-wild-animals-in-my-life-lp-lungs-064

one of those you can prob flip a coin as to whether it's 'punk' or 'indie', assuming you even care. ex-Brilliant Colors and Limpwrist folks

best band in the world

NY Times review compares Tenement's double album ambition to Husker Du and Minutemen. I like Tenement's pop-punk and their piano instrumental interludes, but set in my ways me is not ready to put this alongside Zen Arade or Double Nickels.

Arcade

The first actual song on the Tenement album sounds exactly like Everclear.

Tonight in old men rocking the fuck out it's Radio Birdman. Wow they were amazing. I had a ticket for the last time they were supposed to play London at the Underworld but they were turned away by immigration.

Yeah seriously a great band! I play them in the store sometimes and am always disappointed that no one gives a shit; it's like the greatest rock band most people have never heard but all they want is Tull and Zeppelin and the Beatles. Still.

i had "aloha steve and danno" on some promo cd from when the sub pop comp came out circa 2001 and played the shit out of it (and later the whole compilation), amazing band. no US dates on this tour sadly

This is a quick, mid-year reminder that all available tracks mentioned on this thread (and a handful of album selections from each listed) are being posted as updated to the thread-specific Spotify playlist. I just did a top-to-bottom sweep prior to posting this message and have updated as of today with everything that's been added on Spotify since it was first mentioned.

Somehow I lost track of this thread but we're updated now: 20 tracks, 1 hour.

Cool idea, thanks a lot forks.

^^^ cool comp of 1990s punk, great and noisy and DIY-weird. Already OOP (to be repressed) and absolutely worth picking up if you see it.

No one ever posts on the Protomartyr thread so I'm putting this here too:

https://soundcloud.com/hardlyartrecords/why-does-it-shake/

whoops i think i just posted this in last years' thread

https://ursulamtl.bandcamp.com/releases

That Protomartyr song is really great. Somehow simultaneously more mellow but more intense

I made a standalone Royal Headache thread. Why not? They're a big deal.

Hmm, I guess I don't know how to link to other threads on here. Anyway, it's not hard to find.

thots on white reaper?

I like them a lot. More pop-punk than my usual tastes but the rinky-dink keys and well-written songs push it over the edge.

A thread for Australian garage-pop-punk-soul geniuses ROYAL HEADACHE, the best rock band of this decade, occasioned by their forthcoming 2015 album HIGH

Another try at a Royal Headache link

anyone else enjoying the new Rats On Rafts?

the new tenement is really good.

yes! probably my favourite record of the year. if you had told me even last year that i'd fall in love with a double LP of pop punk songs in 2015 i would've laughed very very hard.

Kinda feeling that i hate sex stuff; trebly and ugly and tuneful

i like this album

yeap they're great. single from another sure-to-be-great lp coming out on the same label https://soundcloud.com/nonegative/01-eternal_crypt

thank you for the last 2 posts. love both so hard.

Dickie Hammond the guitar player from Leatherface died apparently which is v sad. secret great British rock guitarist tbh

:-(

I used to know Dickie, very sad to hear this

lumpy on p4k >_<

http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/17769-lumpy-and-the-dumpers-flush-em/

these songs from the upcoming LIFE STINKS album sound really good https://soundcloud.com/s-srecords/sets/life-stinks-youll-never-make

one of them somehow reminds me of both Pavement and Oasis, the other two are more bozo noiserocky. guessing their name is a Rocket From The Tombs tribute

Is this where PC Worship goes? The new one, Basement Hysteria, is amazing.

https://pcworship.bandcamp.com/album/basement-hysteria-2

Where does Toronto's Dilly Dally go? Kinda Pixiesish with a female vocalist...A whole album is a bit too much for me, but I like em in doses. I saw a photo of them on the NPR TinY Desk Unit Instagram page, but nothing on ilx

I can't find a more recent thread (RIP search) but so the band I play in, STNNNG, has a new record coming out and you can listen to the first song

https://modernradio.bandcamp.com/track/the-last-nostalgia

RIP Load records

Is there not a 2017 version of this thread?

Anyway, new Thoughts of Ionesco tune: https://corpseflowerrecords.bandcamp.com/album/thoughts-of-ionesco-skar-cymbals

i like what i've heard of this US Weekly album: https://nightmoveslabel.bandcamp.com/

RIP Load records
