What's your punk scene like?

Deathcore bands who think they're punk because they're PC

Where I am the metalcore kids at least have the courtesy to let us have the punk label in peace

My punk scene is deader than fuck and I usually travel for shows. Here is a band from my neck of the woods they played a show with my friends old band.They've made a name for themselves and are big now. Toured with Magrudergrind.

The punk scene is pretty bad around here. These guys are decent, but more metal than punk I think

Holy shit, this.

Okay so no one else is gonna get this but here in the Philippines Radioactive Sago Project is a really good Punkjazz band that covers the politics in the country. I think they're currently inactive though

I don't even know what the music scene in my area is like, let alone the punk scene, if there even is a punk scene. I don't know how to discover the local music scene as a complete loser. The fact that I live in a quiet, small town, instead of a city, doesn't help.

Or also, are there any good scenes around? Any cities in your area got life?

Like, I'm from CT, and our punk scene is technically still alive, but on a real low level. The best scenes in driving range are Providence RI and Boston/Cambridge MA.

These are some of our locals:

eww

>>71356108
Full of indie pop punk fanatics. Haven't really seen that much fans of heavier shit.

The Calgary punk scene is surprisingly not bad actually. At the very least, it's diverse. I don't go to a lot of shows, but I listen to a lot of it. Hopefully making it to a show this weekend literally at the local hot-dog place.

I've listened to them before, they're more sludge metal but a pretty cool band nonetheless.

>>71359460
Oops this was meant for this >>71356293

Menace, but they just called it quits.

Honestly my favorite hardcore band.

Everyone who still cites metalcore/deathcore need to move out of their little suburban neighborhoods/or tiny rural towns.

It's kinda split. Half of the people are an appendage to the metal scene, and the other half of the people are an appendage to the indie scene.

Dallas here. Eh it's weird like literally weird. There has been a resurgence of Rudimentary Peni clones popping up

>>71359688
i bet these guys get tons of pussy look at all the girls

I always check to make sure my local DIY venues are up to fire safety regulations. Don't want anyone to get hurt!

>Tfw live in a non major city the middle of nowhere
>still have a thriving punk and hardcore scene

I live in Ballarat. There are a few decent-good bands going on here (Agent 37, The Shorts, The Second Sex)
But more importantly, Ballarat is near Melbourne, whose punk scene is FUCKING AWESOME right now. Clowns is ripping shit up all over the world, The Bennies are slowly taking Australia over and the Smith Street Band are liked everywhere you go. Meanwhile you got other punk and low-level rock bands like Cosmic Kahuna, the Flying So High-Os, Private Function, and especially Kill Dirty Youth.
Camp Cope also worth a mention but couldn't think of something specific to say about them.

Last thing, the Descendents just toured and a punk covers supergroup called Dad Religion opened a couple shows for them. They kicked ass, Stevie from Clowns is doing vocals, and the band is half Frenzal and half Bodyjar

>>71356435
Is there a bar, a pub, any kind of venue? Find out when a band or artist is performing. Go to the show. Talk to the artist. If you like them, see them again. It goes from there, trust me.

>>71356108
i'm from orange county so you guys can guess what my scene here is

>>71361013
I'm in Santa Ana and it's fucking shit.

Was apart of the Sav hardcore scene for a bit. It was a bunch of preaching about it being a family and accepting but if you didn't have the same opinion or weren't from there they would always vibe you. Everyone that I ever encountered at shows there were very egotistical and full of themselves. All the bands were just rip offs of foundation or code orange. Was in a few bands for fun when I was apart of it but it never took off and I had other things to worry about and everyone hated that. I just wasn't interested in fitting a mold in the genre and wanted to make something different. No one there wants to be different but constantly talk about how there scene isn't like everywhere else. Pro tip: it is.

Does anyone know any good local music in Albany?

>>71356127

Hardcore bands who dress like Nu-Metal musicians. Usually mosh by flailing like a 12 year old in the "pit"

These guys are pretty cool, vocalist is from Black Market Fetus and HS been involved around here forever. A "supergroup" of sorts consisting of punks from a bunch of bands in the area.

I'm from Long Beach, CA.

Our punk scene blows. Alotta indie rockers who think they're punks. All they fucking do is play bars. Long Beach is a shitty place to throw DIY shows, being that the "bar scene" is in full effect over here :(
Out of the 100-200 LB bands I've seen, maybe 3 stick out.

Fuck Long Beach

Burger-Records fuckery?

Providence was extremely active when I was younger, but I haven't kept up with the scene in recent years. All the Crusty kids seem to have either disappeared or moved back in with their parents.

Have to drive to Detroit for an actual "punk scene", which for the most part is dominated by terrible knuckle dragging straight edge and hardcore bands. There's a few really good local acts in Michigan worth checking out though.

>>71360978
Well, there are some local bars that have open mics and I've been to a few. I didn't go there to drink because I'm 18, but I went there to see people perform and perform myself a bit.

wew I bet you still dress like this.

In all seriousness yeah, what punk was in the 80's is dead as fuck, and thank god. That was kind of the whole point though, for this underground thing untied to the mainstream to evolve and progress in it's own lineage. As long as younger people are starting original bands and throwing shows in DIY spaces on a regular basis I don't think you can really say punk is dead.

>>71356108
Literal shit. Some generic pop punk bullshit is the only local thing getting traction.

Our "scene" is emo faggotry and pop punk garbage
Then of course there's the easy core bands.

The last great band from around here was La Dispute

>>71362948

La Dispute is fucking awful, get outta here

>>71363097
Compared to the rest, they're a god send.

I respect La Dispute a lot, not a huge fan but they know how to get emotion out of a lot of people. Good musicians too.

>>71359140
Holy shit someone talking about Dri hiev first time I log onto 4chan in a bit and wow!

My band is pretty involved in long island's music scene. It's not really punk at all. More post-hardcore/metalcore. It kind of sucks because no one likes to support each other's bands.

>>71356644

>>71363140

Nah, they know how to get emotion out of shallow rich white kids who don't have real problems and all their Michigan references in their lyrics are super cringeworthy. Fuck that band. Grand Rapids really is a dead zone for music though, I feel you.

It used to be fucking brutal , in a time when terrorist were bombing the streets , economic crisis , commies gathering on public uni.

Bunch of privileged middle class wannabe marxist/anarchists who go to one of the best colleges in the world and will probably become the very things they claim to be against i.e. politicians, bankers etc

I live in KY, and I wouldn't say anybody in this state is making punk. I think they have all moved on to other genres, like I assume a lot of other people have. I know that Fidlar played here a few months ago, but really there's just no incentive for making punk currently. One of the biggest bands in my town is a blusey/garage rock sounding band, and they fucking kill it live every time. I would consider them one of my favorites actually, and you could say their stage presence is punky, but I mean meh.
Also, shameless plug for that band >https://johnnyconqueroo.bandcamp.com/
I will say, this record is not so good as it was self-produced, and their aren't many good producers in my town anyways.

>>71364681
used to live just outside of louisville, hated it.
moved to norman OK for 3 years, the indie scene there was poppin. All kinds of college kids who thought they could make music plus OKC and the occasional tulsa band.
now i'm in fayetteville AR and i'm slowly uncovering the punk scene. a venue called backspace has brought in some good punk bands and theres actually a dreampop and folk based show tomorrow. also theres a dude who dicks around with ambient guitar and tape loops in a couple weeks that sounds real interesting

>>71364571

I'm not sure if they're active right now but I saw him playing with them as recent as last August I think. He also plays in LAW, a newer pv band called Pure Hiss, and he runs the best DIY space in Detroit. Max rules, he definitely puts a lot of work into the scene, I think it'd be pretty dull without his contribution desu.

>>71362144
won't mention venues because /pol/ is among us, but the crust/hc kids have a very active hangout

>>71366617
smart thinking

to sum up the thread providence > the rest

Shitty "post punk" but not really as the genre but as the teenage mindset that any music is "punk" as long as it sucks but is PC and that gravitates to some ball-less punk and band and crappy acoustic artists.

College kids are into emo and some screamo and 1 grind band.

Those kids got the real short end of the stick because we used to have a great fucking punk, hardcore, and grind scene until everyone in those bands moved away and stopped getting mass amounts of cool touring bands at a venue that was an old co-op turned into some apartments with a show space. The rent from the apartments kept the place open so all the door money went to the touring bands plus they got food, booze, weed and a place to sleep. That place shut down and the new happening punk venue now is a shithole set up by 2 new york anarchists who don't pay touring bands that come through and all the door money goes to paying the rent on the building and the bands that do come through are never exciting.

we get together like once a week in the pale guys parents basement to drink, smoke and just generally chill

The best band around here is this great band called Sonic Graffiti, but that's really it.

>Anyone here in touch with their local punk scene?
I don't really know anyone but I like to go to the shows. People there seem pretty nice and the pits are fun.
>What are the best local punk related bands in your neck of the woods?
idk but there's one with a sexy ass vocalist who really whores it up onstage.

>>71366617
how do i find this hangout (not /pol/, genuinely curious). are there posters anywhere

>>71369305
wow anon I totally believe you

>>71369398
whatever man, i'm being serious. i guess i'll just check out the local venues and see if there are posters up there, it's the only thing i can think of

>>71369437
yes, do that, I'm not dropping names and info to an anon poster on /mu/. Go to shows and you'll find more shows.

>>71368202
where in PA? don't you ever try to play in philly?

>>71365131
