I cant help but feel Mikes comments about punk rock were somewhat directed at me, for my reviews of the Dynamite Boy and Guttermouth cds. I will admit, certainly up until about 12 months ago, my knowlege of punk rock was limited to bands on epitaph and fat wreck chords.<\/p>\n
But over the past 12 months of hanging out with some UK punk fans pretty much 24\/7, I have learnt there is so much more to the punk world than bands with numbers on the end of their names. And I feel a need to defend the fact that I am not just sat at home listening to Sum 182, and then giving my ‘expert’ opinion of the punk rock world. I like pop punk, I like emo punk. I like hardcore punk and I like oldschool punk. I like American punk, and I like UK punk (my knowlege of Japanese bands is limited, I must admit). If I had to list my favourite bands, contrary to Mike’s insinuation, are not all currently on the radio singing about sleeping with the football team…or something. I like New Found Glory, but I also like the Sex Pistols. Thice sits next to No Use For A Name on my CD shelf. My Clash and Ramones CDs are there, just the same as Homegrown, Dillinger four, Yellowcard and of course, Greenday, Rancid and NOFX. I would say I would like most punk….And no, I don’t like Jimmy Eat World (or JEW as I like to call them), and anyone calling that punk rock needs a lesson in old school.<\/p>\n
I just don’t appreciate the insinuation that because I wear my pants baggy, and a Famous shirt and belt, that I know nothing about bondage pants, converse all stars and patches.<\/p>\n
So no, I am not the most “punk rock” person in the world, and yes I listen to loads of other styles too, but that doesnt make my knowlege of anything you might call “punk” any more redundant. So don’t get on my back, and yes, I do know Jawbreaker, I own the Dear You album, so don’t give me no shit SUKKA!<\/p>\n
SHIT! west brom have just scored against Arse(nal) to make it 3-1 and hence my prediction that Arse were going to win 3-0 has been redundant-ified (it should be a word), pooey, it was all going so well.<\/p>\n
I’m going to go sit in my room and listen to Spunge to get me in a better mood. I suggest everyone downloads a few spunge songs. Especially “Kicking Pigeons”, this is UK ska punk to rival LTJ anyday.<\/p>\n
