Brad Has A Punk Day



I am bored so I decided to do a quick post. I am going with a few random punk songs that I really like.

Whats more punk rock that singing a song about starting a family and all the trials and tribulations that come with it?
Lagwagon - Raise A Family

This song just makes me want to raise a middle finger to the man.
Cock Sparrer - Riot Squad

Don't let the name fool you. This band is not gay (in both in sexuality and lameness factor). Supposedly, the name 'Queers' was chosen as a jab at the Art Fag" community in New Hampshire where the band formed. The band has a huge roster of musician changes with the only member, Joe Queer remaining as a constant. Their style is akin to the Ramones, in that it is very catchy and defiantly snotty but with cute and mildly disturbing side.
The Queers - Like A Parasite

This song always reminded me of being on a sugar high when you are 5. It's pretty ADD the way it is constantly jumping all over. I really dig this Riverside, Ca band. Not only was this band the first band to sign on to Kung Fu Records, but they also sold sold more that 25,000 copies of their first album. May not seem like a lot but you have to remember that this was a small punk rock label. This song is not off that album. This is off their second album "What Is Really Going On!?!"
Assorted Jellybeans - Lodie Mission (No Longer Available)

Like the Queers this band has has a pretty decent roster list as well. This band has been around since the 80's and are a heavily influence in skate rock culture. I love the lyrics to this song. "well i'm so happy you're alive, best put the feelings aside. oh tell me what was it like? oh tell me what was it like? oh please tell me what was it like? to be swallowed up by a mudslide."
SNFU - Questions Questions Questions?
