The Beer Olympics
NYC? - 1992
this was a fest that used to be alot more gutterpunk style up on the east coast then somehow turned into basically a skinhead/streetpunk fest down in atlanta. i didn;t watchthis vid, and i'm guessing to where it is. I've never been to one, but some of my friends have and i;ve seen fleyrs over the years, so my info might be off.
No Clue what's on this video, enjoy.
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.

"new" band - the Defectives
the Defectives
Italy - '10?-now
I just found this band, thanks to my stupid friend, who quit doing his own blog (http://inforthe80s.blogspot.com) - after the downfall of free download websites - and made me compelled to make 2 other blogs besides this one (one for uk82 and one for 80s british oi - i barely update any of them and they have less info than this one. i do have a life besides just listening to music, typing ((poorly)) about it and buying it - between booking/attending shows, drinking, part time DJing on the radio, drinking, occasionally DJing shows/clubs, drinking, my girl & my dog, and the worst: work). It looks like they used to be a typical aggressive streetpunk band (unless thats another Defectives) but have had a magical 90's japanese pogo wand waved over them and now they sound and kinda look like Spiky Joys/ Discocks/Pogo Machine/etc. - scarf and everything - or Korean shit like Spiky Joys or the Couch. Or newer pogo punk worship liek te Chernobyl Babies, Oi!Driver, the Erections etc. You get the fuckin idea... check it out if that's your kinda shit. If you are new to this look for the Dick Spikie video on this blog.

Red White & Die - various songs
Red White & Die
Tacoma WA - '00-'11(?)
Well i somehow heard this band in about '01 or '02 and was surprised to have stumbled upon them a few weeks back and see new artwork and songs. I thought they would've been dead years ago (the music not the actual members, although sadly that happens more than you probably think...). Although I'm not exactly dancing around with joy about it, and it goes against my '90-'05 rule, i will put up their music from reverbnation, from their '11 self titled album. If i can find their old shit maybe i will swap it out, either way the music is about the same quality in with the ups and downs just being in different areas. IF the play doesn;t show up, then CLICK THIS LINK to check them out.

Stokey Punx - documentary/short film
Stokey Punx documentary from '95 made by Simon from Suicidal Supermarket Trolleys about the '95 scene in Stoke Newington(?), UK. -!*CRUST WARNING*!- Besides lovable gutterpunks SST, this contains some super 90's "punk" and crust... sounds like some guys are high on a variety of H, weed, Special Brew and just got done with an Amebix bender. Not punk done in the way where I will ever allow it to enter my ears again. I only put this up for the SST parts and historical punx funtime. Watch/listen at your own risk.

Tension - "Worst Of" album
Tension
Winsdsor ON, Canada - '97?-99?
Alright this band has a metal punk sound like mid-later career Exploited. All I know is that I used to have 2 cds by them, nobody's ever heard of them and I forgot everything the booklets said except something about a member being in Exloited and a bunch of other bands in the uk and canada. So i will give you the info from this page (Windsor DIY Archives):
"This isn’t exactly a reoccurring story in the Windsor music scene. After playing bass on ‘Beat the Bastards’, the 1996 release by legendary Scottish punk band the Exploited, Jim Gray somehow made his way to our backyard in Leamington Ontario. There, Tension was formed with Lager Lads drummer Rob and this debut CD was soon to follow. Fast paced, unrelenting metallic hardcore punk that isn’t a far cry from Jim’s past projects. A follow up CD and European tours came thereafter, but the boys called it a day after a few short years.
Related: the Lager Lads, Combat 84, Filth, UK Subs, the Exploited.
Here's what i put in the youtube description. I am too lazy to edit this all together right now:
96?-99? Windsor, Onatario, Canada.
http://punxpunks.blogspot.com
This is their best of ("Worst Of"), on Worst records, which I believe was french zine & label that put out international streetpunk bands best(worst)-ofs, and if i remember right, a punks and skins photobook...
Tension had 2 albums (cds?) - "We Hate... Destroy" '97 & "War Cry" '99 - I did't include the artwork from the 2nd one in the video because its even fucking worse than the 1st one's. (see here: http://www.spirit-of-rock.com/les%20goupes/T/Tension/War%20Cry/War%20Cry.jpg). They were on a Worst compilation called "First Punk Rock Shot!". And there's and ex-Exploited guy in the band. That's all I know about em, other than nobody i know has ever heard of them and they almost don't exist on the internet.
I will ost the track listing another time when I'm not so lazy.

more "new" bands... Sad Boys & Conniption Fits
Sad Boys
Brooklyn NYC
When they're not doing the noisier end of things on their recordings they are reminiscent of the Rivits or a more pogo-charged Banner of Hope meets some 90's japanese pogo punk. They have a handful of recordings out on vinyl and tape.
Sad Boys - "e.i.a.p.o.s."
Sad Boys - "Frolic" (sounds like 'Mas Problemas' from Ponx Attax, they've played together... i wonder which came first)
Conniption Fits
Seattle WA
the Conniption Fits have a tougher (female) american oi-esque vocal sound with a pogo punk backbeat, and would've fit nicely on GMM records, but can't be pigeonholed to jsut that. I have their songs from reverbnation, and a live video. If the reverbnation shit doesn't show up in your browser then try THIS LINK
"Loose Lips" live '12

this blog/"new bands"/ Ponx Attax & Who Killed Spikey Jacket intro
i didn't give up on this shit, i am just taking a break. i am running out of some material and can't find the smaller local bands i wanted to get my hands on. i still have some tricks up my sleeve too, but i'd rather not put only big name bands that most people already know, and DEFINITELY not "new school" streetpunk from the mid '00s (usually after '02-'03). i hate all that copy of a copy of a copy screamy AGT/Unseen vocals influenced shit. i think it's boring. a lot of the diversity was lost in this subgenre around that time til present and i don't wanna champion that. Every now and then i'll drop a newer band, but meanwhile if you are(n't?) living under a punk rock, then check out these 2 "new" bands who DO SHIT RIGHT and manage to mix humor in with their punxxx pride:
Both of these bands have music out in form of demo MP3s, cassettes and vinyl. Ponx is also on a cd split with the Bad Engrish.
PONX ATTAX - from St. Paul/Minneappolis MN
"Street Punks in the Streets"
"Ponx Vacation"
"I Hate You"
video for "Ponx & DisOiderly" - they have old demo songs possibly still on myspace and youtube, a tape (the best being 'ponx on the bus' with primary songwriter Bjorn telling us "yeah, get on that fucking bus", something they took out later), a spot on the Welcome to Minneapolis comp 7", and 2 splits with Bad Engrish on CD and 7", and more to come... (Also, i noticed the still image for this video is my girlfriend, ha weird. i'm in there too somewhere... Looks like some of the footage is from the Ponx Attax/the Pist/Defiance show in minneapolis - 2010?)
WHO KILLED SPIKEY JACKET? - from Boston/East coast
ST LP - they also have old demo versions of a few songs that predate this album by years and years, a split tape with the Wankys, and the elusive Watermelon song... also look forward to new material by them
