Mohawks Rock

A few of my friends and myself went on the daunting task of listing and alphabetizing all the known proto-punk and punk bands. We strayed away from local bands in fear that the list would become far too big. Enjoy it as it is please. If you have any suggestions of what to add or remove please go ahead and do so. I ask that you give a reason why
though. I do feel like we missed a lot of hardcore, and horror punk though. So
tell me, did we miss any bands that deserve to be on the list?


It has been decided by popular demand to allow ska
bands onto the list now. I am also now accepting psychobilly on the list.


Please people, please please please, if you have
any bands you would like on the list it is fine, just please alphabetize them.
It gets very difficult to put bands on the list when they aren't in any order
and are just added randomly. I'm the only one working on it anymore, so it does
take a lot of time, and I would like to cut that back as much as possible.


 


Latest update: Included ska bands, and the decision to add psychobilly. Need help with both of those. The List was becoming a chore for me. So, to make it more fun I started adding editor’s notes in it. I hope you enjoy these little tid bits. Also if you have made a large contribution, thank you very much. If you’d like send me a message and I’ll
add some personal editors notes on the bands of your choices for you. Enjoy
this latest update.

I probably will eventually, i just want to get the tedious process of adding all the bands done first.
good call, just sayin :)
Restarts

Oi Polloi

Iconoclasts

Milos Syndicate

...i have more. just have to go to work, so I need to get off of here
Well then add more when you get home, the list isn't going anywhere lol.
nice list dude heres a couple i don't think i saw
The Fartz, Sloppy Seconds, Fleas and Lice, Darkbuster, Johnny Hobo and The Fright Trains, Gallows, Turbonegro, The Gonads, Funeral Dress, Obliterated, SS-Kaliert, The Restarts, Toy Dolls, Blitz, Chaos U.K, 7 seconds, The Distillers, The Creepshow, Fifi, Condemned 84, The Joneses, and Sublime has some pretty punk rock shit you just have to find it.
but yep i'm spent
good luck
Thanks, a few of those were just added, and we're avoiding bands that only have punk influences, as oppose to being a punk band.
JOHNNY HOBO AND THE FREIGHT TRAINS! fuck yeah!
I FUCKING LOVE DARKBUSTER!! They are so lively and so nice.
Ok thanks, I'll start adding these next time i get the chance.
Also why does everyone keep mentioning 7 seconds? They were on the list to begin with.
i love how you put sonic youth in there as punk when they are noise/experimental but your ruling out ska? ska is closer to punk than noiise...
The line was drawn at any band that was considered to be more influential in the punk scene than any other scene. We also decided to add most of the proto-punk bands, so that not only would there be punk bands, but the bands that led up to being punk. I have no problem adding ska and psychobilly however. So if you want that done just type up a list and i'll get to work.
