the Avoided
Milwaukee WI - '9x?-'20xx?
This band were friends of mine and frequently played at my punkhouse (the outhouse). Sadly the singer Reed died, and even more depressing is the reflection of the times... i was always too drunk and i can't even remember what fucking year it was or how long it's been!!! Either way, Avoided crossed a few boundaries and had a varied fanbase among streetpunk, hardcore, crust and even some metal types. They may have not had the image (cuz they didn't give a flying fuck), and although they had their own sound and were different than all of the cookie cutter bands of the time, they were still heavily "american streetpunk" sounding. They also fucking ruled live, and Reeds cock and maybe some blood were usually in order. I hope to get their discography thrown up on youtube, but for now here is one of their crowd favorites - "Whiskey Me". RIP brother.
song "Whiskey Me"
Knox, Beer & Shouting Oi! - stupid "blog" about (sometimes even more stupid) music: 90's and early '00s, mostly american, "street punk" - a.k.a. drunk punk, chaos punk, pogo punk, spiky punk... punx punk.
