Pope Guilty posted:This is probably a stupid question, but I really got into punk rock as a teenager and then when I was 19 moved to a place without a scene and fell out of it (this being before ubiquitous broadband and I didn't have the ability to drive an hour there and back to go to shows). As such, I kind of fell out of the scene about 2003 and I've no idea what's current, and I recently realized I've not picked up any new punk rock since like 2004 or 2005. So... what's going on in punk rock right now? The new Drug Church 7" is what's going on.

I can't get in to hosed Up for some reason. They seem to get a weird amount of mainstream media attention, but they don't sound any different than the folks I used to see at shows back in the day. Can't figure it.

I mean, I think most of Vacation is pretty great, but I put it on at work the other night and really you could cut tracks 9-12 and I wouldn't mind one bit. I don't really like hosed Up either.

I own David Comes To Life, which practically qualifies as a concept album, and I don't know if you can even really call it punk. It has some good songs, but even those could stand to be a little shorter. I still like that they're doing something different, though.

David Comes to Life is a crazy punk/hardcore/badass music concept album that works on two levels: the basic level of "boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy learns to move on with his life" (which is how I will forever interpret it) and the crazy rear end level where the narrator is a character who arranged it and at the end goes back to the beginning of the story to replace the dude and yeah gently caress that level. The first four or five tracks, from Let Her Rest through Turn The Season, are basically my favorite long-rear end song ever, too. It's head and shoulders above everything else they've ever done. Also one of the bonus singles they recorded to go with it has a track that explains the entire crazy plot, but starts out about how they got together at the mall and had fries and shakes and sat down to write the album. I'm serious, "I had a shake" is actually a line. LtKenFrankenstein posted:I actually like Adults!!! a lot more than Vacation.

All Ages Shows through Sanawon: An incredible triple header.

Not really punk, but every punk kid I know loves the new emo stuff out of Algernon Cadwallader and Snowing. For more punk, check out The Menzingers and Iron Chic. Hell, just download everything you can from If You Make It.

This thread always reminds me how little I know about punk..........or at least how out of touch I am with it, literally the only band I've heard of in the past page or so is hosed Up. Incidentally, anyone know any good horror punk? I love the misfits and struggle to find anything that measures up...

It drives me nuts that the chances of me seeing them live are slim to none. At least Pitchfork has that concert where they played David Comes to Life front to back online.

Are there are that pretty much put out quality releases each time out? Any particular standouts? Looking to find some stuff to play on my radio show (college station) and figured this was as good of a place as any to find ideas.

So, does anyone have any idea what happened with Riot Fest East? I was kinda wondering if something was up after they wouldn't release who was playing the second 2 days, but they suddenly just said "Whoops, sorry, cancelled" a week before the fest. I was looking forward to seeing boysetsfire and Refused.

Just a bit of blatant self-promotion, but a few months ago I posted a demo from my new band Civil Warmth. Someone over at Alternative Press liked it enough and now you can find it in this month's issue in the AP&R up and coming artist section. So that's pretty cool. I'm writing the full-length now. http://civilwarmth.tumblr.com/ Additionally I play in this BTMI! side project called Binary Heart, and our new EP dropped today. Definitely for fans of Smoking Popes/Get Up Kids/Alkaline Trio-esque stuff. http://quoteunquoterecords.com/qur055.htm
