I’m keen to find some more #punk folk on here but realise the word means so many different things to people. So was wondering what punk #music means the most to you? Who are the #bands that you come back to time and time again?

For me I’m forever marked by the childhood induction into the scene through a holy trinity (to me) of #DeadKennedys #BadReligion and #GreenDay that gave me an enduring love for political, thoughtful, but melodic and harmony-strewn music with a good dose of introspective personal stuff thrown in for good measure.

Becoming a punk in the mid-90s, of course #NoUseForAName, #BouncingSouls, #Rancid, #Descendents, #Lagwagon, #Nofx, #Propagandhi, etc. became the soundtrack, but I also had #NoMeansNo, #BlackFlag, #SNFU, #TheClash, #Subhumans, #CitizenFish, #ActiveMinds, #Crass, #OiPolloi, #MinorThreat #Ramones and the local bands on the #Birmingham and UK scene to broaden my tastes. Had a big pop-punk love affair after touring Italy with #TheManges and #StinkingPolecats which led to inevitable obsessions with all things #LookoutRecords (#MTX, #ScreechingWeasel, etc.) and all those influences still stick with me today (even if some of the lyrics and songs - and band members - occasionally need some disavowing!).

More recent bands I love include #Idles, #TheWonderYears, #TheBobbyLees, #Pup, #MobinaGalore, #Pears, #WarOnWomen, #TheHomelessGospelChoir, #TheMuslims (band), #RottenMind, #BadCopBadCop, #TheVenemousPinks, #TheLindaLindas, #AntiFlag, #JeffRosenstock, etc…

Who else should I be listening to?
