Sometimes I think that punk is dead too. Polished wannabe rebel rock wants to be punk, but it isn't and never was. But what counterexamples can we present to show that punk is alive?
You can now mention THE ATOM AGE. They are the ones who are still punk.
The five-piece from San Francisco presents songs on their EP that hammer noisily out of the speakers, having found their style somewhere in twisted '77 punk, noise rock, and experimental chaos.
For the mainstream faction, take The Hives, give them an overdose of speed, lock them in a basement studio, and turn all the knobs to the right.
The sound comes out of the speakers so crashingly that I checked if my speakers were broken. But they aren't. THE ATOMIC AGE actually recorded like this.
It's crashing, it's clattering, it's moving forward, it's full of energy, it's raw, it's....
Ah, it's punk, folks!
