May 20, 200422 yr Author ok, im not too learned on the punk scene...the Ramones are like the founders of punk...are they from England? I think they were from New York
May 20, 200422 yr i just want to know where this new "punk" (New Found Glory, Good Charlotte, etc.) get their fake British accents from. Well, hell...even Green Day and stuff like that. Why the fake british accent.
May 20, 200422 yr Author The bands you listed above suck so bad I can't even begin. Thats not punk. I wouldn't even label it pop-punk because the crappy genre they created doesn't even deserve the word punk in it. Crap. Dookie. Suck.
May 20, 200422 yr Author Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros - Coma Girl (one of my favorite new bands) Social Distortion - Mommy's Little Monster (another band I'm high on) Schlong - Barney (funny name and funny lyrics)
May 20, 200422 yr Author Ted Leo/Pharmacists - The Ballad of the Sin Eater The Daughters of the Revolution - Shimmy (good local Gainesville punk band)
May 20, 200422 yr throw in Less Than Jake, NOFX, AFI, etc. They call themselves punk....i just wanna know why the hell they use fake british accents. It pisses me off. reminds me of a Drive-By Truckers song ("Outfit") where it says "dont sing with a fake british accent".....kinda obvious as to why it reminded me of that song, i suppose.

Amen Shamrock. :notworthy If you want to hear the origins of British Punk go listen to Never Mind the Bollocks by the Sex Pistols. It is to early punk what Michael Jackson's "Thriller" album was to pop. Violent Femmes aren't a bad place to start either.

No idea. NOFX and AFI rock though. And I've seen Less Than Jake probably 10 times in Gainesville. Their songs tend to all sound the same, but I still enjoy the band.
May 20, 200422 yr i like AFI...i just hate fake british accents...for that matter i hate fake any accent....like country singers from Canada or California.
May 20, 200422 yr Author i like AFI...i just hate fake british accents...for that matter i hate fake any accent....like country singers from Canada or California. Actually the cool thing about some of these bands is that they are Southerners and ahve southern accents. Punk singing with a southern accent is very interesting.
May 20, 200422 yr ok, im not too learned on the punk scene...the Ramones are like the founders of punk...are they from England? MC5 ... the Stooges A little earlier versions ... im not a big ramones fan, I respect them profoundly but I never really "got" into them. i just want to know where this new "punk" (New Found Glory, Good Charlotte, etc.) get their fake British accents from. Well, hell...even Green Day and stuff like that. Why the fake british accent. I dont knwo what accents you are hearing unless you are getting california confused with england or you need to get out of NC hehe
May 20, 200422 yr Gas Huffer - Hot Cakes hahah GAS HUFFER !!! havent heard that in a while im loving the new DESCENDENTS album
May 20, 200422 yr Author Shut-Ins - Foxy Epoxy Replacements - Beer for Breakfast (another one of my personal favs)

Why the fake british accent. It's a holdover from their days as glorified garage bands playing Sex Pistols covers. Or is that Green Day's covers of the Sex Pistols? Nice, Sham. I see you were listening to Ted Leo, ever heard his old band Chisel? I suggest Grey Matter.
May 20, 200422 yr Author Nope. I'll check it out though. RC5 - In the Bottle The Lazy Cowgirls - Hybrid Moments The Gits - Spear and the Magic Bullet (kinda raw music, but I like the vocalist) The Gits - It Doesn't Matter The Gits - Sign of the Crab
May 20, 200422 yr I dont knwo what accents you are hearing unless you are getting california confused with england or you need to get out of NC hehe No, im not confusing California w/ England. Have you heard that Good CHarlotte sh*t? Don't wanna be yoouuu (its fake british). And I dont live in NC.
