Bad Religion, Smashing Pumpkins and Interpol released today!

[cokelogic]

New albums from three of my favorite bands. What a great day for music.

[Redding]

agreed im a huge interpol fan cant wait to pick it up!

[mikeybot]

Didn't realize the new Bad Religion was out today. Heard one of the new songs last Sun and it sounds like they went old school BR(Stranger Than Fiction and earlier) with it.

[demonseed]

Cant wait to hear some of the new BR cd.. Seen them about 10 times in concert.

[MrQuotes]

fan of the bad religion
ill pick this up

[martianvirus]

I'm in on the Pumpkins. It will be the first cd i bought in over 5 years.

[BaLZaC~308]

bad religion sounds so good now that they are a 5 piece... fucking tight

[Budyzir]

I'm so out of touch with new music, I had no idea Smashing Pumpkins got together again. They always had a unique sound that I liked. This I would definitely buy. Maybe I'll check out the other two bands, I am starved for something new.

[Mesothelioma]

bad religion sounds so good now that they are a 5 piece... fucking tight

yeah. the empire strikes first was one of the best records they have released.

[BeerBelly]

all bad religion songs are the same song over and over again
at least thats what I
hear on fungus .

[Angelfuck]

thats because fungus plays the same bad religion songs over and over again

[BaLZaC~308]

yeah. the empire strikes first was one of the best records they have released.

Even if you dont like their new stuff, seeing them play stuff from suffer and no control live as a five piece is unreal... Punk bands arent supposed to sound so good.


Fuck man they have 3 guitarists now.... fucking 6 piece :icon_eek:

all bad religion songs are the same song over and over again
at least thats what I
hear on fungus .


Your not listening to the right stuff... Graffin is an old man and he still after 25+ years has a sick voice and writes some of the best songs out there.

You need a fucking thesaurus to listen to them.


Check out Suffer, one of the best punk cd's EVER

[BeerBelly]

thats because fungus plays the same bad religion songs over and over again

nah, I just threw in fungus to jab that pc
wannabe punk channel

[BeerBelly]

sex pistols
misfits

marching plague
ramones

minor threat

nuff?
hey bro, to each his own.
I'm an old fucker , I'll like what I like and you like what you like.
party on.

[WhiskeyWhispers]

Punk is a relative term, it's different things to different people.

I'm old enough to know and love the old stuff and young enough to know and love the newer stuff too.

Just because you can play your instrument and your records don't sound like they were recorded on a 5th generation blank tape, doesn't mean that your music isn't punk. You don't have to sing in a crappy British accent or have a mohawk either.

Even though I personally don't really care for them, Bad Religion has been around for a looooong time, and they have earned a great deal of respect in the punk community.

[BeerBelly]

charade you are, Punk has no community!

[WhiskeyWhispers]

charade you are, Punk has no community!

Sure there is, I found out about it when I signed up for the Good Charlotte/Avril Lavigne fan club! :action-sm

heh heh nice one :)

[NoSurviivors]

A good sounding punk band is like one of those oxymoron things. BR always sounded pretty tight to me.. The same guy that played drums for Pumpkins is still around right? Sounds like it. He was fucking great.

I'll check those two out.. Interpol gives me a headache.

[YourAmishDaddy]

Hmm..

[25133WhooOoAH]

Ill pick up Bad Religion soon, but i bought the new Darkest Hour instead the other day....fucking rules

[25133WhooOoAH]

I'll check those two out.. Interpol gives me a headache.

BTW dude your name and Avitar made me crack up just now........:haha7:
reminds me of old school O and A.

[wes mantooth]

agreed im a huge interpol fan cant wait to pick it up!

Me too. Getting right after dinner tonight.

amen

music evolves and branches out, there are many styles of punk out there and they have all come to take something from each other. punk is a legitimate form of music now, without talent there is no music, there's only so many times a band can scream and thrash out the same 3 chords while whining about authority. Im not saying I dont like the old stuff, I think it embodies the ideals of its time and is a highly enjoyable style of music but punk is as much as ideal as it is a style of music, there's no way bad religion isnt punk

[Exanimate]

I am more of a metal guy, but I grew up liking a bit of punk. I have always been a fan of Bad Religion. Listening to the new one now, and it is pretty good.

[highway23]

all 3 albums are excellent

[YourAmishDaddy]

But the best thing to come from the punk era.... The post-punk era.

Namely Joy Division.

[Creampier]

Personally, I'm amazed at how many of those Southern California punk bands from the early 80's have adapted and are still churning out music to this day! And they still rock 10x harder than modern day "punk" candyasses like Good Charlotte and Sum 41.

Bad Religion, The Adolescents, Agent Orange, and Social Distortion (headed to their Allentown show on the 27th) come to mind!

[Deadbent]

It might not be REAL smashing pumpkins without Jimmy Iha, but I'll have to admit the new album is nothing but music to my ears, from first song to last. But I'm pretty biased. I got the bestbuy edition. :p

Also, I really wanted to dislike this album. From the marketting and releasing of it, to Corgan breaking up the band and replacing people, etc. But the sound is unmistakable, and it's really fucking good to have some new offerings of it.


Gonna grab the bad religion shit next, they were always good, too.

Interpol, never heard em really. If coke says theyre good, they probably are. I'll give it a check.

[Budyzir]

Except for The Clash, I never really got into Punk but,

I always thought was hot in a freaky kind of way.
