[Closed] Anyone recomend me some pop-punk?

The Offspring, that the sort of thing you're looking for?

Male Bonding are on 6 music catching my ear, sounds like your sort of thing?

I was going to say Yellowcard, but you're clearly ahead of me.

3 doors down, 3 days grace, breaking benjamin, the killers, goo goo dolls, brand new. Just a few that come to mind, they're not all pop punk, but close.

The Hives

There's pop and there's punk. Never the twain & all that 😉

But you could try The Undertones or The Buzzcocks 🙂

Some of the Millencolin stuff might be up your street...(not 'pop' though)

Listened to most of that stuff before, will be diggin it out again for a trip down memory lane 🙂

got to love Spotify!

Paramore are on Radio 1 a lot at the mo, i'm not a big fan but i like the fact they're getting airplay. Do you know The Sounds and The Caesars?

Strung Out
NOFX
Bowling for Soup?
Bracket
Mr T Experience (so good!)
Lagwagon
Me First and The Gimme Gimmes
Snuff
Frenzhal Rhomb
Voodoo Glow Skulls

any more??

Mr T Experience (so good!)

and Goodwins law is invoked :p

Down By Law
Rancid
Fabulous Disaster
Tilt
Hagfish
Ruth Ruth
Diesel Boy

I thought it was Godwins Law, and that was about nazi analogies?

Errr yeah I was wondering that too. Not many people heard of Mr T Experience, they are punk pop ish, not to everyones tastes but gotta be worth a try. One of their songs is my song to my wife - romantic!!! 😉

Paramore = emo, surely??

old skool pop punk - Tango in Mono by the Expressos.

Well whatever the label, it's a jolly old toon

I'd say paramore are punk, not emo.

The Vandals (look what I almost stepped in is a flippin classic)
Nofx
Beatsteaks
Hives
Weezer (pop, anyway)
Guttermouth

Off the top of my head
The ettes
Best coast
Dum dum girls
Asobi seksu
Baddies
Dirty epics
Plasticines
The rakes
Maximo park

[i]There's pop and there's punk. Never the twain & all that[/i]

You obviously forgot Green Day there John 🙂

Rival Schools used to be good at that sort of thing. Dunno if they still are.

The Godfathers for old stuff.

The Starting Line
Homegrown
Blink182
Boxcar Racer
New Found Glory
Everclear
Gratitude

For some interesting covers try "Punk Goes Pop" series and "Punk Goes Crunk". Not all done by Pop-punk bands but there are a couple on there.

For everyone who is recommending NOFX

Check out their other stuff as well, its brilliant.

In a slightly different vein...

....not pop but folk punk-check the Bad Shepherds (Ade Edmondson)
Great live-saw them a couple of weeks back and touring for most of the year.Back here (Swansea) in October

The Sounds

(for something at the swedish, electro-pop end of pop-punk)

The Rezillos

Try something with umpf

Slayer
Rammstein
Iron Maiden
Jimi Hendrix

Pop and punk should not be together in the the same sentence.

[i]Pop and punk should not be together in the the same sentence.[/i]

In your opinion, other opinions are available. Labelling music is a slippery slope anyway.

I'm 50 and I've seen You me at six, had a good beat to it.

The definition of 'pop punk' is slightly wide at times. To me current pop punk bands are like the following.

USA
[url= http://www.myspace.com/letslynchthedearlandlord ]Dear Landlord[/url]
[url= http://www.myspace.com/newbruises ]New Bruises[/url]
[url= http://www.myspace.com/offwiththeirheads ]Off With Their Heads[/url]
[url= http://www.myspace.com/ironchicsmyspace ]Iron Chic[/url]

UK
[url= http://www.thedauntlesselite.com/ ]The Dauntless Elite[/url]
[url= http://www.myspace.com/theamistadband ]The Amistad[/url]
[url= http://www.myspace.com/pudgerockers ]Pudge[/url]
[url= http://roidh.bandcamp.com/ ]This[/url], stream of a 4 way split

...although from what you've put in the OP I guess you may be looking for something a little more 'melodic'/pop at times. 😉

ctznsmith has very similar ideas to me. Off With Their Heads are one of my favourite live bands. Although the new LP's a bit ropey. I'd add (not all new, and some are more pop than punk / vice versa)

Broadway Calls
(some) Alkaline Trio
Latterman (especially if you like Iron Chic ;))
The Riot Before
Nothington
Joe 90
Vanilla Pod (but DON'T go see them live!)
The Copyrights
Weezer
Hot Water Music
The Weakerthans
Bangers
Beezewax
The Ataris
Gunmoll
Jawbreaker
(early) Rise Against
This is my Fist
The Lawrence Arms
New End Original (or indeed anything to do with Jonah Matranga)
The Get Up Kids
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists

And I'll reiterate NOFX. Has anyone mentioned Green Day before they turned atrocious? I could go on for hours...

Green Day are ok but I've never bought any of their stuff. Nor downloaded for free either

I'm a bit old school when it comes to punk I'm afraid.

UK:
The Damned
Sex Pistols
The Clash
etc

USA:
Dead Kennedys
Black Flag
etc

Anything commercially viable since about 1982 isn't punk in any way shape or form.
It's all just rock music
IMHO of course 😉

Saw 2 punk bands in the old style last night; not impressed, The Clash did it better

@flyingmonkeycorps

I haven't heard the new Off With Their Heads album.

How could I forget [url= http://www.myspace.com/bangersbangers ]Bangers[/url]!

Good list that! 🙂

Transvision Vamp?

Wendy James! Mmmmmm.....

US Bombs
Blanks77
Bleed
The Freeze
Municipal Waste
captain Everything
Cock sparrow
And of course NOFX

Alkaline Trio. Newer stuff is OK but older is where it's at - Goddamnit etc.

Smoking Popes

i'm glad you posted all that lot benny boy, saves me the hassle of trying to not be elitist about all this stuff!

Zolof the Rock and Roll destroyer

Good Charlotte
Possum Dixon

Descendants
Samiam
Chamberlain
CIV
Gorilla Biscuits
Quicksand
Dag Nasty
Bad Religion
411
Subsociety
Operation Ivy

perhaps more on the punk or HC side of the coin than the pop

Actually I can almost narrow it down to 4 record labels:
Relevation Records
SST
Epitaph
Dischord

ok, i can't resist! some of rev's releases, perhaps (farside, sensefield, perhaps civ) but other than dag nasty i wouldn't have said that anything at all on dischord could be considered 'pop punk'.

Symposium
Midget
A
Therapy?
Joyrider
Kerbdog
Honeycrack
3 Colours Red
I suspect that list ages me more exactly than carbon dating.

Bad Religion might well be the best band in the world evars but are they pop-punk? Punk rock surely?

Fire Engines

The Rezillos

Maybe you should've titled the thread "Anyone recommend me some music?"

wot jon drummer said.

I suspect that list ages me more exactly than carbon dating.

Northwind, Mmm I'd say early 30's? 🙂

To hell with it all just listen to the refused 🙂

Some randon not on here stuff:

Attack Attack!
Contagious
Ugly Kid Joe (how did you miss this so far STW)
Sum41

I'm sure there's others but it's late hot and I'm shattered.

Rival Schools fans, there are still rumours of a MUCH anticipated 2nd album, their first remains a top 10 album for me ever.

Alright im not posting a link and theres probably a good reason for that, but barnsleys finest punk band IMO are 'dove @ seven'

Minor threat

The spermbirds

Dag Nasty

Circle Jerks

Attack Attack!

Oh christ, this band are ****ing awful. And not pop punk. See "crabcore" 😆

The buthole surfers 😉

sadexpunk - Member

wot jon drummer said.

[i]I have the same issues with the reuse of the term R&B[/i]

oh yeah

FWIW I grew up listening to SLF, Siouxsie & The Banshees, The Undertones & various other "new wave" bits & bobs.
Then I joined my second band & we did some Damned/Clash/DK covers, so I got into that stuff too.

Then we discovered Killing Joke, The Southern Death Cult, Bauhaus, XMal Deutschland, The Sisters Of Mercy, Theatre Of Hate, Sex Gang Children, Skeletal Family, Spear Of Destiny (who my very latest band supported only this weekend!) and so on...

but "punk" to me means the summer of 77, even though I was only 12

Best thread ever.

pop Punk =

The Riverdales - Storm the Streets
Teenage Bottlerocket - Warning Device
Mr. T Experience - Love is Dead
Zoinks! - Stranger Anxiety

I already hate the term Pop Punk.

I already hate the term Pop Punk

c'mon.. you guys aren't very up to date with your niche punkisms!

pogues win for me.. not very pop but pretty punk

Pop punk - a big wTF???

There's been loads of bands with jangly guitars and attitude, but not "punk" - I think we used to call them "indie" 🙄

My first thought at the term Pop Punk was Carter USM, but the "pop" part doesn't do just to their cutting social commentaries...

power pop! thats a better name for it . just thought that up. clever arent i 🙂 (unless its already been thought of 🙂 just leave punk out of it 🙂

carter USM. thats a good call. oh and +1 for the R&B thing.

I asked this question a few weeks ago at my local record store, though I used "California skate punk" as my genre tags. I had a good listen to many suggestions from their punk experts, many of which are mentioned above. Much good stuff can be found on the Fat Wreck Chords label.
As an intro/taster, I went home with Blink182 Dude Ranch, and The Living End

[url]

[b]WTF[/b] does it matter WHAT IT'S CALLED!!??? You know what sort of thing the OP is asking for and it's not Iron Maiden, Rammstein, Pistols etc etc.
There's just no such thing as a simple request on STW, is there?

Power Pop is a title that I saw the Descendents used a while back. Great title, well re-invented @sadexpunk.

WTF does it matter WHAT IT'S CALLED!!???

And [b]The Riverdales - Tarantula[/b] just came out this year and is a perfect pop-punk record. Very Ramones (but you can't buy a Riverdales T-shirt at TopShop).

+1 for Fat Wreck Chords

I thought it was Godwins Law, and that was about nazi analogies?

Even hitler Had a Girlfriend

Struggling with the definition of pop punk. Is it basically whiny voiced college rock?

Ditto, anything on Fat, the quintesential pop punk label.

I spent my formative years going round the country in stinky vans as a hanger on of various bands that would have a ska break in the middle of most of their tunes and thought Nofx and the screeching weasles were the greatest bands ever.

Leatherface are worth a look.
I've still got a Vanilla Pod T soemwhere (what's wrong with them live BTW?)

millencolin,
less than jake
a
screeching weasel
mr t experience
no use for a name
vandals
satanic surfers
snuff
guttermouth
etc etc

i also like

new bomb turks
the cramps
operation ivy
alice donut

more hardcore
refused
good riddance
sick of it all
poison idea

brill. i need to change the music on my phone for the ride home.

i'd really recomment mr t experience if you like a bit of pop punk tho.

[i]not just what musical genre you listen to... blah blah blah [/i]

So you only listen to one genre?

'Power Pop' could be... Bonnie Tyler, The Vapours, The Sweet, The Knack, Weezer anything! Rubbish categorisation!

Pop Punk is bloody obvious. Its even got a Wikipedia entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop_punk !

(BTW, It's not what I listen to, since Green Day went stadium rock, so I'm not defending it, just the OPs use of the phrase. OK?!)

Weezer are Math Rock, not Power Pop (or used to be. Now they're just rubbish).

While we're doing ridiculous music categories:

Pirate metal

Northwind - Member
Symposium

Ah. One of my all time favourite bands. They were always going to burn out pretty fast, but I saw them 3 times before they did. Wonderful!

Of the other bands I've seen, Snuff come right at the top with the best gig I ever went to. 🙂

So you only listen to one genre?

Queers - Punk Rock Girls[/url]

[url=

is the poppiest punk I've ever heard. But I bettheOPhasactuallyheardofthemsodoesn'treallyneedtoberecommendedthemnowdoeshe?

The Distillers and Pennywise seem to have been missed, more punky than poppy but that's not a bad thing

Descendants, Liveage! or Milo goes to college.

Minutmen & fIREHOSE, though thats more pop/punk/jazz/ihavenoidea

Ramones of course. Should be mandatory at primary school.

Weezer are Math Rock

How any time sigs do Weezer manage to nudge in to their challenging edgy tunes then?

If you want Math stuff check out Sweep the leg Johnny or faraquet.

UK Pop Punk

Travis Cut
Vanilla Pod
Helen Love (kinda)

Look out for the "Thems Good" label sampler too

How any time sigs do Weezer manage to nudge in to their challenging edgy tunes then?

😳 I thought Math Rock was just a label like geek rock, which i guess is more apt for Weezer. I will definitely check those bands you mentioned out though.

No worries mate, it's a geeky minefield out there.

Math rock as a term comes from the nerdy time sigs used and the consequent jerky polyrythmic music that ensues. It mainly came out of the Chicago free jazz infl post harcore bands but you can see ellements of it in Firehose and the minutemen as well as parts of Sonic Youth, Buthole Surfers and 'June of 44'.

+1 for Pennywise. You could try Ten Foot Pole and Propaghandi too.

Just been tagging some stuff to go on my iPod and noticed these which may fit the "punky in a poppy way" bill:

Jimmy Eat World (The Middle - top tune)
American Hi-Fi
Idlewild
