@Filthy:
I will certainly check that out asap @Oaktavia I only brought that up because the second record (don't remember what color) is like super uplifting. That Hum album seems uplifting and had an optimistic sound to it.
Ah, gotcha. Let me know what you think of Valkyrie when you get a chance.

My mom found a bunch of cards I had made for her when I was in high school, from 1996! Proof I am not a poser, i guess. I don't even remember making these.
The band Final Warning. The bass is heavy AF. I used to have this tshirt I wore every day that said, "stop vivisection final warning"
The singer from Final Warning ran a record distro and was also in the band Nausea. I bought the shirt from him at an Aus- Rotten show.
I'm too drunk to find the Nausea with Niel right now.

This is arguably my favorite punk recording of all time. Listening rn. 🥰

I think this is probably number 2. These guys were like rock star wannabes but I always have loved this album and I don't care what people say. It is so metal and it is amazing.

Oh the memories - I learned how to play drums with some friends as we all played total chaos and casualties songs.. luckily, it was all the same chords and drum patterns, so we would each play an instrument snd switch during the next song. It was loud, it was fun, and we were terrible haha

I was at a house party with members of the casualties in Pittsburgh before. It was the same time got the Fleas and Lice/ Bleeding Rectum split LP. There is a song on that record called "Filthy Blood Junkies" which was my username when I first joined here in 2013. It got changed to Filthy 25 oz Junkie, then to just Filthy eventually.
The house in Oakland was a famous punk house in Pittsburgh for like 30 years, where they had basement shows at every weekend. This supposedly was the same house where the picture on the back cover of the Expoited album 'War Now' was taken in the back alley.
I saw Anti-Flag play in Pittsburgh more that a few times @Appfaff it's awesome you like that kind of music!

In honor of their new album I've been spinning a lot of Viagra Boys lately. Definitely my favorite Swedish band!

What fun memories! Yeah, punk bands were notorious for showing up to house parties back in the day - I somehow attended a few, but never with the big names like you did!
I gave up the Punk Life when I moved to Alabama and traded in my Creepers for polo shirts (I’m gutted just typing that haha) but I still throw on New Kind of Army while I’m driving around - and Die Hards is still on my workout playlist - although I’m not sure my neighbors appreciate Jorje’s vocals as much as I do lol [emoji23]
One funny story of my own.. I used to be friends with a lot of up an coming bands in DFW that never quite made it, and one of them
Opened for this little band in Austin who had been touring in anticipation of a new album. After the show, we all went down to a bar (they used to sneak me in as I was 18 at the time) and the leader singer started buying us all shots.About 3 months later, that same band had this song start playing on the radio:

I am not keen on the singer, but the musicianship is pretty great.

That's pretty cool. I guess it's because of my genuinely sincere naive fanboyism, but I have gotten to talk to or hang out with a lot of famous punk/metal people. I got to meet Less Than Jake one time, but it was super awkward and I was there with this girl that hated them… so they signed my poster and went away. I tried asking them to play one of my favorite songs and they weren't allowed.

@Filthy It's interesting how a band can sound great until the vocals start. There are a lot of similar bands out there that have a great sound that can be ruined by lyrics. Kind of like how a cartoon could have a great story, but the animation style can ruin it. Not sure if that makes sense…
I dig Hum though. Listened to that album you posted all the way through. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, a lot of singers have that Nickleback Chad Kroger sound. The guy in Baroness sounds that way too.

Listening to an old Destroyer album today
