Meant later this year when talking about Streetlight, seem to have missed out a few words.

we have begun working on 2 albums worth of material. we will be making 2 different records this time... (and yet both will still be self titled)

record # 1 will be mariachi music (el bronx)
record # 2 will be dead punk (the bronx)

both go well with hot sauce, but yet each has a different bouquet.

we are aiming for an end of summer release date. nasty!

Thats just not on im afraid.

I would buy both of them actually, even though my love for them has started to wane after seeing them in Leicester about 4/5 years ago.

Evening all.

Can't remember seeing a decent punk thread on here before so good effort to whoever started it!

I'm 25 now and got into punk around 10 years ago which makes me feel really old! I still love punk music but I don't find I'm getting into that many new bands these days. My favourite sort of punk is the 90's stuff.

I really love the following, some of younger folks on here (if any) might want to check some of these out if you've just sort of missed them-

Dead Kennedys - One of THE very very best bands imo
NOFX - Lost interest since War on Errorism, their last good cd although they have produced alot of outstanding stuff.
Screeching Weasel - Love them!!
New Bomb Turks - Punk rock and roll!
The Slackers - Fantastic ska band - recommend Wasted Days cd.
Osker - Highly underated band on put out 2 albums, first is killer!
Riverdales - Ramones-esque band!
Rancid - Lost interest since 90's, maybe gone for too long. First 3/4 albums outstanding. Tim Armstrong is a ledgend.
Op Ivy - Raw ska/punk again for those who haven't heard them this is Rancid in the making!

I also love punk comps my very favourites-

Punk O Rama III and IV - Love every track on them, my soundtrack ten years ago!!
Life in Fat Lane - Awesome quality songs, why dont FAT make them like this?
Give Em The Boot II - Best ska/punk/reggae comp there is!
Asian Man Comp - Think it's the second one! Good bands you never hear off anymore other than Alkaline Trio!

I used to really love ska/punk but find it a bit 'overdone' these days. I do like listening to trad stuff, I really recommend the Slackers to anyone interested in hearing some more mature/traditional sound ska. I'm also not too fussed on UK bands these days, they often just seem to be trying to be too American if that makes sense. I think they should just try and be themselves.

Hope I havent bored anyone!

Blink are still my all time favourite band. Listen to them all the time still. Except the latest album. Didn't really start listening to much music at all until secondary school when I got in with a different crowd of mates as you do and they all listened to this kind of music.

Mate lent me Cheshire Cat and I was hooked
