Fortunately, punk can be found all over the place!


A couple of my favorite American hardcore punk groups would be Turnstile and Drain, the former's "Can't Get Away" is a favorite as is the latter's "Feel the Pressure"

If we take a look East, there we can find Suck, a punk band from Germany! Don't worry, their lyrics are in English. A favorite song by them would be "Gimme Your Number"

A little further east and we find a Soviet Post-Punk classic! Кино, or Kino, were an outspoken band in the Soviet union, singng about the horrors of war and the need for peace, as well as openly criticizing the government. Some speculate the incredibly popular lead singer and songwriter Viktor Tsoi was killed by the government for his counter-cultural ways, as his music became that of revolution during the fall of the Soviet Bloc during the end of the Cold War. Keep in mind, the lyrics to this band's songs are in Russian, so you may want to look up the lyrics of one of my favorite anti-war songs from the group, "Группа крови", pronounced (and typed) Gruppa Krovi in English, which means "Blood Type."

Finally, heading south, we hear the riveting lyrics and style of an Australian Punk band called CIVIC. I'm not super well educated on their beginnings or their music, I just know they ROCK! My favorite song from them is "Taken by Force," the title track to their most recent album.


Hope this helped!

If you wanna know some of the OGS, check out a band called Death :) 

Also, some of my favorites fall under crust and horror punk, such as Poison Girls, Oi Polloi, 45 Grave, & the Cramps. Punk has a lot of Subgenres though, so you'll definitely find something you like!

If you feel like you could totally dig smth a bit like older punk (protopunk would be better to describe this) so we're talking like 60s and stuff then there is this cool group from Peru called Los Saicos. You should listen to demolicion, cementerio or el entierro de los gatos

I'm not really into punk, but there's a band I love called Wire that plays post-punk and art punk. I'd recommend listening to their first three albums (Pink Flag, Chairs Missing & 154), but the rest of their discography is just as good and a bit underrated

Kind of depends what style you're into!

If you like international stuff, I really like NIPPON MADONNA and their album Bandoyamero. I'm not sure if they're still active but their old stuff is cool.

For a more folky band (kind of not really) I also like The Dead Milkmen. They do a lot of funny stuff, and I'd still call it punk but it's not quite an electric guitar power chords type.

Also some bigger bands like Bad Religion, Social Distortion, and NOFX are pretty good. :) All different vibes from each other as well if you want a sampler.

hello!

some bands i recommend checking out are bikini kill (a classic), skating polly, destroy boys, and pretty vicious, but punk can be found everywhere from your local punk radio station to spotify's radio feature of a punk song you already like.

Idk about a lot of a bunch of them, but heres a few i really like, towards older ones i recomend Bikinni Kill and The Damned, the last one depending on the album lean more towards the goth scene but idk they're still cool. There's also a couple of new bands, from spain, i really like them, one is called 'LUCY' and the other 'Ruïnosa y las Strippers de Rahola' :]

I recommend you try listening to Garotos Podres. They're a brazilian punk band, so the lyrics is in Portuguese...
