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
