Obscure or lesser known bands....

The other thread got me thinking of bands out there that maybe aren'r hugely known but still notable. Hit The Deck, The Deal, Hanover Saints, Flatfoot 56, etc

There is a punk band from ALASKA!!! The Scurvies. Heard of em?

I like the underdog rawness of it all....

I've heard of FLATFOOT 56, but haven't actually heard them or the others you mentioned.

THE SCURVIES is a great name though!

you can hear more samples here but you probably have to scroll down the page

That may keep you busy for awhile. I will say that sometimes the band's choice of songs for the profile does not represent the strengths of their record...

Man, I can't believe no one's mentioned the Pig yet  

One Bad Pig was AWESOME!!!

quincy punx, now there is a band worth checking out.....they wrote a song called crack lab, how cool is that?

but the quincy punx are not christian

That is cool it is not for xian punk only.

One of my favorites, though not traditional punk, but obscure would be THE DEAD MILKMEN!!!!

I think I must listen to left handed lesbian albino ninja eskimo girl now

A little Dead Milkman story; there was this 2 day fest in my neck of the woods back in the mid nineties, and it was this college rock/punk event with the Ramones and stuff, and my buddy Jeff was sleeping in his little pup tent in a nearby field awaiting the next days events, when the Dead Milkman arrive in their van and nearly run over my friend. They were so close that they actually ran into his tent and knocked it over. They realized what they had done and were very apologetic. But gave him no merch as a form of contrition. Jerks. LOL.

They were probably busy takin retards to the zoo!

or smokin Banana Peels and drinking Bleach LOL

Geez, I'm surprised people here know Quincy Punx and
Rudimentary Peni !! RAD!

What about AMEBIX, NAUSEA, ANTISEEN, DOOM,
HIATUS, DISCHARGE, ANTISECT, BLITZ,
DEVIATED INSTINCT, DYSTOPIA, early NEUROSIS
and the like..

DISCHARGE

Yesterday, Mr. Tranny gave me a cd by a Xian punk band called EVERY MAN'S HERO. Sounds pretty good with angsty vocals. Anybody heard 'em?
