What is up with bands claiming to be punk??
I don't know if it's just me but...er..I know it's not just me who has gotten a bit tired of these bands that try to be punkers. You just can't compare nor try to sound and be like bands like Minor threat or The Ramones (who started the punk sound style of course). Don't get me wrong these grunge puppies make it big and tour making more cash then i'll probably make in a lifetime, so yes they are doing something right. It is just a bunch of garnished and polished rubbish on the radio these days, but You most likely love that stuff and think i'm a dumb arse for my drab opinion.

If I might tender one bit of advice, however, if you're looking for ANY good music, you might want to look someplace other than the radio in general. There's no discretion as to what is played there anymore, hasn't been for about twenty years, that's all airtime bought and paid for by the three major labels, since they're the only ones who can afford it (this with the exception of a few community and college stations). Because of this, all the kids cranking out the kind of raw, blistering, organic sound you're probably looking for can generally only be found in their local markets or tour at your local dive bars.
It's all a tiny number of mediocre haves and a billion have-nots in that industry anymore. It's been that way for while, now it's just moreso.
