New Bomb Turks

Are the New Bomb Turks too good to be punk rock? No. Around 1995, I once traded their lead singer ten Drunk And Armed Bumper Stickers for one of their records. Their live show was one of the best I'd ever seen.

NoMeansNo

NoMeansNo is unique among the genre of hardcore, and probably too talented. Here is their Wilkioedia entry. Featuring the Wright brothers, their skill is among the better among musicians of any genre. Who else would do a song called "Metronome?" Their music is dark, funny and violent (so naturally I'm drawn to it). They are definitely worth going to see live (although, I'm not certain if they play live anymore). They play just like their albums. I can always appreciate a band that is polished in such a manner (as opposed to plastic). Perhaps, that is why NoMeansNo is not more well known?

Crime Pays When Pigs Die is worth owning.
