I dunno I'd even say the Clash or Elvis Costello are punk. At least, they're not the first I'd think of.

You call that crapfest fun? I suppose listening to babies cry is a great way to spend the afternoon as well.

BatDan · #**128**

well that's probably because alot people forgot what real punk is, everything from the mid 80s up to the 00s killed punk in my opinion.

and also Elvis and Clash transcend the punk genre by experiementing with different styles, but they were still true innovators, they had the DIY and in your face attitude, a social and political conscience, they spoke the truth, and above all they created their own unique sound.

EDIT:
"You call that crapfest fun? I suppose listening to babies cry is a great way to spend the afternoon as well".

what's your idea of 'fun' music?

There hasnt been music fun music in a looong time, then again, i hear Lady Gaga and Jonas Brothers are just true inspiring artists, that have a strong intelligent influence on our modern youth and society.

i feel a juicy debate coming on..

Fathom Zero · #**129**

When I think of punk, I think of X-Ray Specs.

BatDan · #**130**

i like them too.

but theres other forms of punk, some acts were alot more abrasive raw-rock and roll, like Dead Boys, and Pistols, while some acts were more lyrical based like The Jam, Costello,Clash, John Cooper Clarke was considered punk artist and all he did was spoken word poems, and some acts were just out there like Talking Heads. they all sounded different but they still had the essence and energy of punk.

I think i get what fat dan is saying. Even though my asshole isn't technically a part of the punk genre i think that it has the essence and energy of punk.

BatDan · #**132**

if that's the case, i'd really like to take a listen to your asshole.

anyway, if ALL artists/bands want to tie themselves down to the generic confines of the way their 'genre' is supposed to 'sound', then that doesnt really help them stand out or mature as musicians does it?

I went to see GBH a few weeks ago and during the middle of their set their singer said how much he hated people like BatDan. I didn't know what he was talking about then but now I do.

BatDan · #**134**

Now where have I heard that before?

10,000 Volt Ghost · #**142**

I don't know if I can deal with the vocals on the Battles song. The instrumentation sounds pretty good. Around 3 minutes into it it sound like

though

Esuohlim · #**143**

I myself also wish the vocals didn't sound like gay little elves. Vocals are rare on the album but it's always distorted like that

I have been listening to the Seams EP non-stop. He's a producer from London and it's the best music I've heard in awhile. The EP is streaming BALLS and it's totally worth listening to!
