<description><![CDATA[These smart-alecky skate punks back up their posturing with impossibly catchy bursts of off-color sucker punch and arrangements tighter than a...well, let's just say tight. They have steadily risen to the top of the heap of spittle-spewing new-punk acts with their NOFX-derived comic approach to the old school. In the apartheid-like milieu of their adolescent fan-base, they have orchestrated a lucrative crossover, bringing skaters and jocks together in the mosh-pit for intentionally stoopid punk rock with a ska chaser that's got a little more Cheap Trick in it than the Clash.

<description><![CDATA[The Offspring got their start much like any other Southern California band in the wake of that region's first punk explosion, playing songs that were lacking some of the first wave's abrasiveness but were musically more adept. The Offspring made their first appearance in 1989 with a self-titled release (on the Nemesis label) that featured many of their trademark sonic elements: crunchy guitars wrapped up in power chords and occasional surf riffs, with vocal stylings that hover between yells and grunts. In '90, the band signed to California indie label Epitaph. With the '94 <I>Smash</I> LP, and the accompanying single "Come Out and Play," the group became the biggest-selling indie artist of all time. Since then, the group have had consistent success with alternative radio, most recently with the single "Pretty Fly (for a White Guy)." Since that single hit the charts in 1998, the Offspring have steadily released albums, with <i>Conspiracy of One</i> and <i>Splinter</i> appearing in 2000 and 2003, respectively, and <i>Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace</i> following in 2008.

<description><![CDATA[AFI top the short list of modern-day hardcore saviors. After starting out in the early '90s as another bouncy, Northern California pop-punk band, they released <i>Black Sails in the Sunset</i> in 1999, their fourth full-length and a substantial darkening of their sound. Later albums, like the platinum-selling <i>Sing the Sorrow</i> and 2006's <i>Decemberunderground</i>, are ambitious, Goth-punk tours de force, combining pummeling rhythms, jarring guitar and tortured vocals with defiantly complex arrangements. Part of a growing prog-punk movement that includes Coheed and Cambria, Angels and Airwaves and Avenged Sevenfold, AFI is worshipped by a black-clad fanbase known as the "the Despair Faction," which has crowned them kings of the Warped Tour nation.

<description><![CDATA[Combining large doses of cynicism, humor, political sarcasm with a bad attitude ("Don't Call Me White"), NOFX has been churning out records for well over a decade. With their fast tempos and barrage of distorted guitars, the band has inspired a great many of the power punk bands that are popular today. But perhaps most importantly, NOFX possess a near disdain for wide commercial acceptance ("Please Play this Song on the Radio") and have long adopted a hands-off stance for the fakers, scenesters and almost all press. This San Francisco-based band steers clear of the big promo blitz that major record labels seem so fond of, but in spite of all of this, the kids seem to find NOFX records anyway. Who can blame 'em? Since the self-release of 1991's <i>Liberal Animation</i> on bassist Fat Mike's Fat Wreck Chords record label (and their subsequent releases on well-respected punk indie label Epitaph), they see more of the dough and pay for less of the schmooze-hounds' steak dinners. And like many old school punk bands that lit the fire of their sound during the Ronald Reagan administration, NOFX have shunned the stereotypical punk rock anarchist's image, taking a much more leftist liberal stand against the George W. Bush administration with 2003's <i>War On Errorism</i> and 2006's <i>Wolves In Wolves' Clothing</i>.

<description><![CDATA[Bad Religion have the distinction of being the longest lasting Punk band from Los Angeles. For nearly twenty years now, they've upheld their tradition of thoughtful and intelligent lyrics (prompting some to call them "lexicon punks") and aggressive play. The chip on this band's shoulder might read "Perseverance Pays" -- despite self-releasing their debut <i>How Could Hell be Any Worse?</i> in 1980 on founding guitarist Brett Gurewitz's Epitaph label, it wasn't until 1988 when <i>Suffer</i>'s (empowering anthem "You are (the Government)" taught more than a few young punks the meaning of "jurisprudence") that the band made a significant splash and settled in for the long haul with a somewhat steady lineup and musical vision. Since then, audiences have received a new earful of gruff-voiced singer Greg Graffin's rants set to frenetic power-chording on a yearly basis. A fine example of staying power gleaned from remaining true (with minor tweaks for maintenance) to an original sound and intent.

<description><![CDATA[Pennywise songs are the Punk rock equivalent to football pep-rallies -- spirited, rousing, rally-round-the-flag exhortations for surf punks, skatepunks, and their ilk. Their harmonic, sing-along choruses stick to you like oil slicks to seagulls, and the sheer headlong velocity of their playing will have your adrenaline racing. Playing the catchiest Punk rock anthems this side of 7 Seconds, Pennywise are purveyors of quality Hardcore for the young, suburban masses.

<description><![CDATA[Black Flag have become one of the most enduring legacies of American Punk. The band's first two EP releases, <I>Nervous Breakdown</I> and <I>Jealous Again</I>, are paradigms of the original West Coast Hardcore sound: loud, fast, and abrasively unpolished. The group would undergo a number of lineup changes (including the departure of Keith Morris to form the equally legendary Circle Jerks), most notably the insertion of vocalist Henry Rollins, future spoken word artist/author/alterna-hero/Gap model. By the release of <I>Damaged</I>, their first full-length album, Rollins' influence was apparent -- the band had acquired an overt Heavy Metal sound rife with three-minute guitar solos and head-banging riffs. BF were astonishingly prolific -- producing up to three albums a year -- until their breakup in 1986, at which point founder Greg Ginn left to focus on running the notable Indie label SST.

<description><![CDATA[As time has passed, Strung Out have gone from a typical NOFX-clone band, complete with tight harmonies and blazing chords to a slower band pushing into Weezer-like Power Pop. Their songs have matured in sound, ditching the simple fast and loud formula for well-written solos and stunning riffs.

<description><![CDATA[Way back in 1979, before everyone and your mother was playing punk rock, before frat boys were getting Black Flag bars tattooed on their forearms, before MTV and before Green Day, the Descendents were formed. The band gigged in L.A. for a bit, released a single, then temporarily disappeared. They reappeared in '81 with a new lead singer (Milo Auckerman), a new LP (<I>Milo Goes to College</I>), and a new, poppier sound, filled with self-effacing, goofy lyrics about girls, parents, and junk food. Auckerman then left the band to attend college -- hence the album title -- and drummer Bill Stevenson headed off to join Black Flag. The group disbanded until '85, when the original lineup reappeared for the <I>I Don't Want to Grow Up</I> LP, followed in '86 by <I>Enjoy!</I> Both albums laid the groundwork for future bands who would mimic their pop-punk playing style, and featured a host of classic Punk anthems, like "Pervert," "I Like Food" and "Sour Grapes."]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Setting the pace for tight, fast guitars and jump around vocals, Face to Face have become SoCal Punk legends. Their sound is infectiously catchy -- if you can keep up. The vocals bite and chop, keeping up with the spitfire pace of the band, who provide the soundtrack for the kids' mosh party.

<description><![CDATA[No Use For A Name has become a hardcore institution since their inception in 1987. Since then, they've released nearly a dozen albums, most of which they've released as a part of the roster for the venerable Fat Wreck Chords label. For the most! part, it's pop- punk played so fast that if you blink, you might miss it. You can expect plenty of rapid- fire drumming and guitars that speed through each song but in more recent years, the group has picked up a more melodic side, even stepping outside the punk mold (in sound only).

<description><![CDATA[It's a testament to the importance and popularity of the Vandals that their cameo in the movie <i>Suburbia</i> happened not because they were scripted to appear, but because the film's cast voted them in. Also significant is the fact that a band founded in 1981 -- and not just any band, but a Punk band, no less -- continues to form a viable part of the output in the post-Post-Punk era. The Vandals' success rests on two identifiable reasons: their ability to laugh at almost anything without making themselves the butt of the joke, and their tireless touring, recording and fan recruiting. Along the way, they've moved from being mere pranksters in the Hardcore Punk world to VIPs.

<description><![CDATA[After only one single with fellow Los Angeles punks Black Flag, singer Keith Morris left to form the Circle Jerks. Crude and unruly, the band played with middle fingers proudly outstretched and huge smirks smeared across their faces. First documented (and immortalized) in the 1980 film <I>Decline of Western Civilization</I>, their hyper-energetic live shows quickly became stuff of legend. Cram-packed with speedy skaters and jubilant misfits, a Circle Jerks show inspired the most stage diving of any band this side of Minor Threat, and made them one of the most beloved bands to come out of Los Angeles. They continued to release material on and off into the mid-1990s, the highlight being a guest appearance by Debbie Gibson on <I>Oddities, Abnormalities and Curiosities</I> (1995).

<description><![CDATA[Named after an early '90s street skating trick, third generation skate punk band Millencolin formed in a dainty little Swedish town called Örebro (you can't spell "Örebro" without "bro") where the members grew up listening to Orange County hardcore heroes such as NOFX and the Descendents as well as old school acts like Agent Orange. The began singing in their native tongue, but soon switched over to English only to sound like something off the Epitaph record label, which wasn't a bad thing since Epitaph signed Millencolin and released their five studio albums.

<description><![CDATA[While NOFX and the rest of the Fat Wreck Chords bands were busy cracking wise-guy jokes about girls, sex, guys and more sex, Propagandhi used their wit to sling some pointed political arrows. These Canadians' songs have a slight Hardcore crunch lurking in the polished, poppy SoCal Skate Punk sound they lifted from NOFX. Propagandhi are known and loved by most for their very vocal, in-your-face, barbed-tongue, leftist political stance. Animal rights, gay rights, imperialism, capitalism, racism...there are few issues that have escaped Propagandhi's soapbox. As serious as they are about politics (<i>very</i>), they aren't afraid to have fun, which is part of why so many people like them. Their songs are catchy and full of energy, anger, urgency...and an unmatched wit. Punk bands that are smart and fun are hard to come by; it figures one of the best of the 1990s would be from Canada.

<description><![CDATA[Anyone who was into skateboarding in the 1980s remembers the unintentionally funny <i>Skatevisions</i> video for Vision and Sims skateboards. Agent Orange was omnipresent back then. They were the soundtrack for this video as well as for a generation of skate punks. The Orange County power-trio gave birth to a sound that blended Surf with Heavy Metal and Power Pop. The guitar lead for their Skate Punk anthem "Blood Stains" was even ripped off by The Offspring on the chart-topping "Come out and Play." Although they haven't released anything since 1996's <i>Virtually Indestructible</i>, Agent Orange continue to play the club circuit.

<description><![CDATA[These snotty young turks have actually been recording since 1994 and already have a half-dozen or so releases under their belts. Their antisocial theatricality and aggressive, hyperactive tunes have earned Guttermouth a wide following, and their fast, in-your-face Peter Pan Punk is a shoe-in for the next Warped tour.

<description><![CDATA[Fenix TX make Blink 182 sound like the whiny little brats they are. Putting more weight into Power Pop than Punk, their songs swallow you whole, with whale-sized guitars opening up and closing around you. The vocals are feisty and have a good range, rather than sticking to the thin and snotty sound. If this band doesn't become a radio staple, something is really wrong with the music industry.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[With Bill Stevenson's hands (of the Descendents) at the dials, the Good Riddance sound has a less jagged edge. They still have the chunky guitars and raw vocals that bleed energy, and are far from being poppy, but are straying from the hardcore path they seemed to have been following.

<description><![CDATA[Usually, Punk bands fall into two very neat categories: Old-School Punk or Pop-oriented new Punk. American Steel have a sound that straddles both worlds. Their guitars gnash and grind, bashing out chords that form catchy melodies, but without ever resorting to the tired Punk-Pop formula. The lead singer sounds like a cross between Rancid's Tim Armstrong and Social Distortion's Mike Ness, giving the already rough textured music and even more granular sound.

<description><![CDATA[After the return of the Descendents last year, ALL have returned too, with Milo stepping aside for ALL's current singer Chad Price. And after all these years, ALL are still a pop-rocket destined for the sun. They blast a fast punk sound that constantly reinforces their design for the melodic, catchy punk-pop song. These are jittery songs for geeks in love and the irritated in all of us. Frantic and spastic in their delivery, the slightly throaty vocals give the songs an edge, while the distinctively crisp guitar and sharp drumming add polish. After close to twenty years, ALL show no sign of slowing down. As long as there's coffee, these guys will be going strong.

<description><![CDATA[Thwarted by circumstance, TSOL's earliest and most important recordings didn't see the light of day until the band had already changed directions artistically and ideologically. Formed in 1978, the True Sounds of Liberty's first EP contained some of the earliest examples of hardcore anarcho-punk on either side of the Atlantic. Songs like "Property is Theft" and "Abolish Government/Silent Majority" employed a vernacular critique of capitalism accessible even to the teenage skate punks who frequented their shows. By the time their first full-length <I>Dance With Me</I> hit the shelves, the band had picked up on the vapid horror-movie theatrics of L.A.'s Punk scene; swapping political fervor for Goth Metal camp, the band squandered whatever potential they had to sit in the empyrean of Punk's greats. Well into the '90s, their spiral from preeminence to irrelevance continued, much to their fans' dismay.

<description><![CDATA[One of the best Punk bands, ever. That's not an exaggeration. Dillinger Four are fast and tough, but they lace their songs with deadly sharp wit and dangerously catchy melodies. They don't screw around with wanking guitar solos and they don't whine about their girlfriends or girls they wish they had, or girls they wish they hadn't had. In both their tight, blustery sound and in their socio-politically conscious outlook, they embody Punk. And they like beer. A lot. Not everybody who likes Punk will be into Dillinger Four; Johnny Vomit spare changing in front of the liquor store will dismiss them as being sell-outs for some concocted reason (and besides, they don't have any facial tattoos). Max Thrash, still wearing the bloodied shirt he got at his first D.R.I. show, will call them slow and boring because you can -- gasp! -- almost make out what they're saying. A recent album is titled <i>D4 vs. God</i>; in this battle, our money's on D4, the Twin City Bruisers.

<description><![CDATA[Not to be quickly dismissed as just another Hardcore band, Rikk Agnew and company wrote killer catchy songs that brim with snide attitude and perfectly capture feelings of anger, isolation and frustration. Short, fast songs spit out with a sense of urgency rarely seen these days. Classic for a reason.

<description><![CDATA[Perky Punk icons from Southern California, Nerf Herder -- named for a put-down delivered by Princess Leia in <i>The Empire Strikes Back</i> -- recently made good when they were tapped to provide the instrumental theme for <i>Buffy the Vampire Slayer</i>. But the band has a history extending all the way back to 1996, around the time that their tongue-in-cheek single "Van Halen" beguiled alt-radio fans and landed the group a major-label record deal. Their sound is classic: anthemic, cheeky Punk full of driving guitars, snot-nosed lyricism and caffeine-fed beats. Nerf Herder continue in their quest to refine the formula: <i>How To Meet Girls</i> (2000) is yet another clear-voiced, three-chord lesson in how to rock with wit, enthusiasm and deftly controlled manic energy.

<description><![CDATA[Sick of It All and Shelter helped form the New York Hardcore sound from two different angles. From their experiences in those seminal hardcore bands, Sick of It All roadie Toby Morse and Shelter's Adam Blake shape a new, more melodic, but still blistering NY/HC style. With thick roots deep in the New York Hardcore scene, H2O are no slouches in their punk attack. A powerful, popping bassline picks up the pace on their already accelerated and incredibly catchy, sing-along Hardcore. Their songs recall the positive themes of the Straight-Edge scene in the '80s, but sidestep the preachy, holier-than-thou posturing. In addition to ideological similarities, H2O also borrow sonically from bands like the Gorilla Biscuits, who had undeniably infectious melodies.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[With the grating and screeching vocals of Tomas Antona shoved to the forefront of the music, Alice Donut proved that perseverance may lead to a certain level of respect amongst your musical peers, but not necessarily to commercial success. The band emerged from New York City in 1989 and, with the urging of the Dead Kennedy's Jello Biafra, quickly released two albums of Punk (often bordering on joke) rock for Biafra's Alternative Tentacles label. In 1990, <I>Mule</I> saw the band refining its sound to resemble more standard Punk -- if you could call anything from the band standard -- though the lyrical content remained full of social lampooning. On later LPs, like <I>Revenge Fantasies of the Impotent</I> in 1991, the band hit its artistic stride with a three guitar attack and a calmed, less frenzied lead vocal by Antona. The band called it quits in 1995, but reunited in 2003 to unleash the <I>Three Sisters</I> album.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It's not a stretch to imagine Value Pac playing in front of thousands of kids bouncing around in the hot summer sun at the local stop of the WARP tour, or any similar large festival. Bouncy basslines, slightly snotty vocals and mildly Ska-tainted guitars have a hard time being anything but catchy.

<description><![CDATA[High-speed SoCal Punk set their pace with frantic, poppy guitars and harmonized vocals that add an extra element of Pop to their Punk. Their fast, Hardcore-like pace and tightly structured melodies make Ten Foot Pole a favorite of skate/snowboard punks.

<description><![CDATA[Busting out of Sweden with two fingers in the air, 59 Times the Pain aren't afraid to break a sweat with their incendiary Oi!/Hardcore. These guys are bringing up the new breed of working class, anthem-based Hardcore, and their songs bristle with big, buzzing guitars, sing-along vocals and an all-around toughness.

<description><![CDATA[With guitars blasting out three distorted chords, the Lillingtons draw you in with catchy, poppy Punk songs about comics, TV and other pop culture institutions. Vocals are flat and snotty, much like the Smoking Popes.

<description><![CDATA[Punk Rock in the pop vein, with churning guitars and catchy melodies. Down By Law began as a collaborative effort from members of Dag Nasty, Clawhammer, All, and Chemical People. Formed in the early '90s, DBL borrowed from bands like the Ramones, but played faster, more intricate variations on that early, Punk-Pop blueprint.

<description><![CDATA[Another Skate Punk band with the NOFX sound and wit, the kind of band that runs rampant on the West Coast. Diesel Boy are a little faster, a teeny bit harder, but otherwise pretty much the same as the rest of the crowd.

<description><![CDATA[98 Mute take the chanting, sing-along vocals common in Street Punk and smash it together with incredibly sharp, catchy Skate Punk. This SoCal act avoids the Bad Religion/NOFX/Pennywise comparisons, hitting on a sound that's not entirely unique but still full of passion and energy.

<description><![CDATA[Some songs pummel simple, twang-inflected progressions with hardcore drum treatments and pimply, angst-ridden vocals, while others flare up right from the get go with Punk-metal melodies, distorted vocals and crashing rhythmic bombast. Angry, charming rawk from a bunch of characters who would probably stop and visit the grandparents after knocking over the local convenience store.
