The Shape of Punk That's Come [Conclusion]

The four albums I've brought up in this series are only examples. There are many bands out there who are finally (and thankfully) bringing social and political relevance back to the punk scene. I hope that this series has enlightened you: Behind those walls of sound are some of the greatest philosophers and poets of our generation. It would be a shame to disregard this entire genre due to a few money-hungry emo kids hiding their insincerity behind distortion pedals and bad haircuts.

  1. I love the beats. Very catchy. Why are they not advertising these types of bands more? Or maybe I am just not aware.

  2. That song's by Mindless Self Indulgence. They've got a huge cult following, but I can't say there are too many bands like 'em.
