I've got geology on the brain and the continental riff has caused me to post more videos! Night Birds have been around for a while now and seem to be constantly on tour. This is the title track off of their second Lp called Born to Die in Suburbia.
Next is a video by the Swedish band Holograms! This video is a couple years old but I still think its great! Check it out
Classic. Poison Idea. Nothing more needs to be said. But I will mention that this is a recap video made of a mini tour they did earlier this year.
Now for another Portland band. The mighty Hellshock!
Lastly is an amazing video of the classic Finnish band KAAOS! This video not only has amazing picture quality the sound is equally as great! Not many videos exist of bands from this era let alone at this high quality!
Pierced Arrows are the modern version of Dead Moon. They are just as good in my opinion and their music still has an honesty rarely found in modern day music. No posturing, just heart felt rock and roll. Raw in that perfect kind of way. The way punk is supposed to be!
The next video is of an awesome Italian band called Giuda! When I first heard this band I was very confused because I had just seen the other Giuda (also from Italy) and was blown away by their live performance. Anyway it didn't take me long to realize they are two different equally awesome bands. Here is THAT Giuda
Lastly I have a video by the Swedish band Burning Kitchen. They got back together a few years ago and played some shows and some of the members made an Lp that sounds very similar to Burning Kitchen called Sju Svara Ar. It is a very very good record that you should check out, especially if you were a fan of Burning Kitchen. Anyway I know the vocalist has a new band called Vrak that is also worth checking out. Burning Kitchen:
First up I have the always amazing Marked Men. They are not together anymore but have a few other spin off projects like High Tension Wires and now Radioactivity. Both are awesome and I believe Radioactivity are on tour currently so check them out!
Up next is a video from World Burns to Death. They are not very active anymore but they are playing Manic Relapse fest in the bay area in March with Appendix!
Lastly I have another great band but unlike the other two they are not from Texas. It's the Sedatives. They are no longer around but members have gone on to play in other great bands like Steve Adamyk Band and The White Wires.
First up is The Hex Dispensers! They are a killer punk band from Austin. Everything they put out is great, but I especially like the Winchester mystery lp and the split with young offenders.
One more before I gotta go. It's a classic video of Extreme Noise Terror in 1989. Great quality video of them at what I believe to be their prime! MMUUUURRRRDDDDDEEEERRRRRR!!!!
Black Panda are an awesome band from Spain that play a style some have referred to as 'crust n roll' and I guess it fits. The split 7"s they put out a few years ago are outstanding and this track is new material. For some reason I am having technical difficulties with this one so just check it out here: Black Panda
This next video is by Big Eyes. This band truly has something really unique about them. I can't pin down their style other than to say that they are 'punk'. I really like the last Lp they put out but all their material is worth checking out.
Next up is a classic that needs no explanation. Its GBH with give me fire. I like in the video how it says that "give me fire topped the punk charts this week"
Lastly I have a video from White Lung. They have a very 90's sound (if that makes any sense) and have numerous videos so it was hard for me to choose one. This is off of their second Lp which is solid from start to finish. The newest Lp is also worth checking out. They have really refined their sound over the years and I think they have gotten better.
Back with more noise. First off is a killer song from the Swedish band Driller Killer. The video is exactly what you would imagine a Driller killer video would be. Explosions, studs, war footage and mosh pits. Awesome!
Next up I have a great video from Los Monjo! They play infectious punk! The way it should be. They are from Mexico and have toured Europe but have not been able to come to the USA due to stupid visa bullshit. Check em out!
This next video is from another Swedish band but a more recent one. They are called Allvaret and play a catchy, melodic style of punk without being full on 'pop-punk'. I really dig their Lp that came out a couple years ago. If you like the video check it out!
This last video is a live video shot for a Austin radio station KVRX. The band is called Institute (no it is not that Institute with ex members of antischism, this is a new one). I really don't know much about this band but the whole set is really, really good. The first song drew me in and I am now seeking out anything by this band! Anyway check out the video.
Hey! Back with more kick ass videos!
I am starting off with a live video of DOOM playing in Moscow! Many
videos of DOOM exist out there but I thought with this one being recent
and done well its worth a post. TRASH BREEDS TRASH!
Next up I have mellowed things out a bit with this newish band from
Sweden, Hurula! I think for some it may be a bit more pop then what they
are used to but I think their debut Lp was top notch. Ex members of Masshysteri and it shows. Check it out
Last one for today is killer hardcore track from Harda Tider! Another
Swedish band that features it least one x-member of another band I love
Skitkids! But this band sounds nothing like them and is on the more
hardcore/straight edge side of things. I have both of their Lps and if
you like the video at all I highly recommend checking them out.
Starting out with a raging song from the 2000′s. It’s by the
Canadian crust band After the Bombs. Who would have thought crust bands
make videos??? Ohh but they do….
Long Knife are a relatively new band out of Portland that have an Lp
and it least one, maybe two seven inches out. I have the Lp and the new
single that this track is off of and both are really good. I missed them
the last time they came through so I will definitely make sure to see
them next time.This video is fucking awesome. Check it out.
This video really caught me by surprise. It is not a ‘legit’ music
video but a promo video for the Japanese band Clown’s Russian tour. I
have not seen many punk bands do tour promo videos so I
figured I should
share it. But they do have full length videos too and I put one after the promo video.
Explanation: I was a child of the late 80′s and early 90′s. Music videos played an
important role in my first musical discoveries. In the 2000′s music
videos sucked (and they probably did in the 80′s and 90′s too) and as
technology has progressed music videos have become much easier to make
and had somewhat of a revival(in that good bands make them again). With
that though, has come many bad videos. Sorting through them is a pain and it's hard
to find the good ones. So I have decided to start this blog. I will
feature music videos that I think are worthy of sharing and although I
can appreciate many types of music I will mainly focus on punk rock
videos or it least videos closely related to the punk rock scene. I will
always try and find high quality videos and avoid the many videos with terrible sound quality. Thanks for
reading and here are the first couple!
First up is the Restarts from England. Awesome band I have seen play a
couple times that is great live! Check out this high quality live
video:
I have another great video for you by the now defunct bay area band Young Offenders!
And the last one I will give you on my introductory post is a great
video by the Spanish punk band Belgrado. I was lucky to enough to see
them a couple years ago. Great band!
