'alo :o

Chad Birch

hey

I just skimmed the transcript from last night and saw you mention you were trying to find punk bands that can actually sing

I can probably give you a few to try listening to if you want

FallenAngelEyes

Haha, sure, that'd be great!

Chad Birch

I don't listen to as much punk as I used to, so a lot of them are kind of older, but that's the style I generally like too, I don't generally like singers that aren't "singing"

FallenAngelEyes

Right. And it's kind of hard to come across good quality punk music without straight up asking people. There's a loooot of crap out there.

So yeah, I tend to lean a bit more towards melodic.

Tsunami Bomb is one of my favorites, they didn't put out much before they broke out, but they're good, one of the rare female-vocalist punk bands

Another good song by them

FallenAngelEyes

I like this first song a lot, really good sound

Chad Birch

that's a pretty bad quality version, but I tried a few other ones and they were all skipping, so best of the worst

FallenAngelEyes

Shame that they broke up

Chad Birch

she has a great voice though, she's in a new band called The Action Design now, but I don't think I'd call them "punk"

Ah, gotcha

Chad Birch

Ten Foot Pole is one of my favorites too, the quality of their songs/albums is kind of all over the place though

and their first two albums (Swill and Rev) have a different singer, so their sound is quite a bit different

FallenAngelEyes

Ah gotcha.

Yeah, I've heard of these guys from my b/f, he listens to them but I've never checked them out myself.

Don't think I've really heard of Millencolin before

What albums would you recommend starting with?

I always have this tendency to get overwhelmed if I see an artist has a big discography.

Chad Birch

for Millencolin? I haven't listened to them much in a long time, I'm just looking through some of my old music from when I listened to this style more regularly

so I don't really know their newer ones, but Pennybridge Pioneers was good... 10 years ago

Haha gotcha

Chad Birch

are these sorts of things the style that you were looking for?

or not quite?

FallenAngelEyes

Yeah, this stuff sounds good. :)

FallenAngelEyes

And ah cool, I've had Alkaline Trio recommended to me.

Chad Birch

one thing you might want to try is getting ahold of some punk compilation albums, there are quite a few of them that come out regularly, then you can just skim through a bunch of different bands quickly

Hm, good idea.

I've been thinking about listening to the Misfits but the discography intimidates the hell out of me.

I've no idea where to start.

Chad Birch

the Warped Tour compilations back around 2003/2004 have a lot of bands that I really like

FallenAngelEyes

Gotcha
